Xperia X10 :: "Installation Error Unable To Install Or Start Phone Software Update Components?
Nov 15, 2010
I am trying to update to android 2.1. when the PC Companion reaches the "prepare" stage, a dialog box opens saying "Installation Error unable to install or start phone software update components.
I received notification that a system update is available for 4.0.2.A.0.42 and that this update can only be done with PC Companion. I followed every instruction but I had to abort the process when PC Companion prompted me to discontinue due to low battery conditions. I charged my battery. I connected phone and continued process. In step two - prepare - I get the error message: Installation Error: unable to install or start phone software update components. I tried several times but I still get the same error. I restarted my computer and my phone numerous times and still the same error is popping up.
I tried to update my sony xperia neo V today several times. but again and again I get an error msg "Unable to install or start phone software update components." even tried to reinstall sony pc companion but it doesn't work.I am already install the UPDATE SERVICE (SUS)
I can see that there is a new update for my Xperia Neo but when it gets to the second stage (preparing my phone to update), it says it is 'unable to install or start phone software update components'. Anyone have any idea how I can update my phone or why it won't let me update it now???
When i try to ugrade my phone software i get the error message "Unable to install or start phone software update conponents" . i restarted phone, pc suite, reinstalled, but my phone is not getting upgraded. pc suit says latest upgrades are available. Even if i go for repair phone same option comes.

Five days back purchased a Xperia X10 and upgraded the memory to 16GB. It was working fine since yesterday morning, when I updated the phone through SE PC Companion software.
First SEPCC presented a message for update then it told to disconnect the phone from USB, switch it off, remove battery for at least 5 sec., put battery again, connect it USB with pressing back button. After that it starts downloading the update and then tried to install the update. But it failed 2 times.
Right now I am not able to start the mobile even by removing the memory. On the screen it displays SONY ERICSSON text and a '!' mark inside a triangle.

I'm a user from Portugal and I received the notification about the 2.1 upgrade availability today on PC Companion when I connected the phone to my Windows 7 PC.After making a backup using the latest backup version I went ahead with the upgrade.But the PC Companion, after the preparation phase, simply says that it's not possible to install or initialize the upgrade components (in Portuguese).

I been trying to update my xperia ray to android 4.0 but it keep saying unable to instal or start phone software, I read the previous comments and post and some people posted link to some page in sony but that also didnt work because that is actually asking me to download again the same pc companion software which i have already install. any way to solve this?
I tried using Sony Bridge for Mac to update my Z3. Naturally, it failed (I had massive problems updating the other Xperia I had too).
All my phone wants to do now is say 'The software update failed.Make sure your phone is connected to a computer and try again'. This is, of course, a ridiculous thing to suggest, as my Mac will now not recognise the device as I can't turn it on.
in the update phase 2: after i press the back buton and connect the usb cable it lights green and i waited for more than 20 sec to boot in fkash mode but it doesnt happen and the phone turned back on automatically..
I have Nokia 500 with symbian belle. I can't download any of setup files of any software or etc. E.g.: I tried to download opera mini from m.opera.com. When click the download link it loads and after few minutes it say "page too large to load". And also I can't install or download anything OVI store. Always I tried to download something it says "installation error unable to download.
I am trying to install the back and restore download on my Xperia X10 phone, but I get an "install blocked" message. It says that my phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market
I am having a problem with a software update through a PC, using the PC Companion. It says that I have an instalation error when it goes into step 3 and updating my phone.
