View 4 RepliesFinally the ICS update has become available for my phone (SI 1253-7151) -PC Companion pops up a message about the new update. If I click "Update", PC Companion starts downloading the update, finishes the download and says "Preparing computer for program updates".
Then it proceeds to "Unable to install or start components for update of phone system" and my phone does not get updated.Then I have tried Sony Update Service, but now I can't even start it properly; the program crashes right after opening it. It just says "Synchronizing" and then "An unexpected error has occured. The application will shut down." so I never get any possibility to see why.Again, my phone does not get updated. Since both programs crash there must be a serious problem with the downloaded files (and they're probably shared between the programs?).Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it; I can see in a Norwegian forum that other people have the same problem - and in the original thread that you have hidden (!).
PS. The original thread was not mine; I just replied to it since I had the exact same problem. Regarding the new "moderation strategy" I believe that the above question is not rude, it's not spam - and reposting the question is necessary when the issue has not been resolved and the original thread has disappeared..
I received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?
My config:
PC with AMD, Windows 7 64 Bit, 16GB RAM
I have tried almost everything. I deleted the file in the Update Service folder, re-downloaded, and reinstalled so many times, tried setting the PCC to check for updates every time phone is plugged in(which it said on the SE website, but isn't an option at all. Could anyone perhaps shed some light. I am getting pretty frustrated with all this nonsense.

I uninstalled it and re-downloaded it, and while installing, I got the same error log. I have tried this in safe mode as well. Firewall and virus protection is off. I have an Xperia x10.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of updating my xperia ray to the latest build 4.1.B.0.431When I updated my phone to 4.0.3 i rooted it and removed most of the bloatwares. After doing that i didnt face most of the issues reported for 4.0.3 ICS release. Now my question is, If i update my phone to the latest build will it automatically unroot? Do i have to root it again using doomlords method?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI find it surprising, that Singapore, being one of the more wired-up countries cannot made the update available on the Net. It it only available if we bring the phone to the Service Centers, and it could take up to one day for it to be done according to my phone query.
It seems the delay is also not due to the Telcos, according to SE Singapore.
I've never updated my phone the Xperia 10 and I have been trying to do it for a while but it keeps saying an error has come up and it cant carry on with the update. The phone has gone slow and half of the features don't work cus there out of date.

I've got a Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro that's working fine. Then i saw that there was a update! So i plug in my phone and press update on PC Companion. However, the 'Preparing the computer for the software update' takes pretty long.. It stalls at about 30 / 35 %. I already re-installed PC Companion. My internet connection is perfectly fine. Running Windows 7 and I never had this problem before..

My 4 month old Xperia Z2 has always worked fine until today. It was connected to my Mac computer, and I was asked to update Sony bridge for MAC. After about 10 mins it said Update Failed on the computer. I disconnected the phone, but now the phone wont turn on - all I get is an error message saying "Software update failed, make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"
However when I connect it, the device isnt recognised.
I cant switch the phone off or on, all thats happening is a continuous loop of red light and then the error message (it's on charge at the moment)....
the service goes out all of a sudden, and i have to switch the phone off and on agin to regain service. this happens in areas where i normally have good service
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade my phone to Android 2.1, but nothing seems to be working. I tried via PC companion, but it stops at the second phase ("prepare") telling me it's "Unable to install or start phone software update components". I looked at the forums and I found out a lot of people seem to have a problem with PC companion, so I tried Update Service. At startup, it says "Proxy login required".
