Debranding + 2.1-update1

I'm sicked and tired to wait for the available of 2.1 for my phone's SI here...

work around solution:
debrand ur x10 family devices...
update it via fresh installed SEUS...
viola... u got 2.1!!!

and now my red devil info:
Model Number: U20i
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1
Build Number:2.0.A.0.504

 tools / programs / application that you need for debranding:
a. Universal 1 click root/unroot
b. exploid_x10mini.zip
c. Android SDK
d. build.prop (i choose UK genetic)

step 1: Root your SE X10

step 2: Prepare for the debranding (refer to 'step 2' here.)


step 3: debranding your SE X10
a. start your command prompt in your PC.

b. type in the red command in your PC's command prompt:

C:\exploid_x10mini>adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

C:\exploid_x10mini>adb push busybox /sqlite_stmt_journals/busybox
1344 KB/s (0 bytes in 1709832.001s)

C:\exploid_x10mini>adb shell

$ cd sqlite_stmt_journals
cd sqlite_stmt_journals

$ ls  (to make sure 'busybox' has been copied.)
ls
busybox

$ chmod 755 busybox
chmod 755 busybox

$ su  (accept your su request at your x10.)
su

# ./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
cp: cannot remove '/system/build.prop': Read-only file system  (if you did not get this so-called error msg, please process to 'exit' command.)

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (to gain access to /system/)
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# ./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop (re-issue command.)
./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

# exit
exit

$ exit
exit


step 4: reboot your SE X10


step 5:  use the Sony Ericsson Update Service to install the new firmware

have fun~
