Xperia X10 Mini/pro :: Cannot Update Through Pc Companion
Feb 11, 2011
When I connected my xperia x10 mini phone to pc using pc companion and it shows that there is softwatre update is available.(I want to update it from 1.6 to 2.1). but it is failing in the 2nd stage only syaing installation failed.
I've been trying to update my phone through Sony PC Companion but it won't let me because there seems to be a problem with the Online Server. Will this go over in some time or what? This problem has been for almost a week now.
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 checked on the sony website, they say ics update for xperia mini is available but when i connect to pc companion or update service, it says you phone already has the latest software but it has GB, please tell me how to fix it.
I've got a Mini Pro and the operator is T-Mobile. T-Mobile only approved the update yesterday so I went to update it via PCC after updating PCC and Backup And Restore. Before I started updating, I backed it up. Now I started the updating process and I was on step 2. It asks me to remove the USB cable from the phone and turn it off. Then insert the cable back in WHILE holding the Back key. When I do this, nothing happens except PCC tells me that they can sense a Sony Ericsson phone. I've tried doing it more than 5 times and it's the same thing over again. I've turned my MMS & data off and Data roaming On if that makes any difference at all.
When u search for software update in phone it says "you have the latest software and applications from sony ericsson. your phone is up to date." At present my android version is 2.3.4 and build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62. But when you download pc campanion it says "New Phone software version available (4.1.B.0.431)"After carrying out a software upgrade, note that:Android 4.0's hardware requirements are more advanced than previous software updates, so your phone's performance may be affected.Our commitment to offering you the best, means that once upgraded you will not be able to revert back to an older version of Android.To optimize your phone's performance, some applications may have been disabled and will not be visible on your screen. A new installed application called 'Performance Assistant' will help you enable these apps. Please also note that some 3rd party applications may not be compatible with Android 4.0. Please visit Google Play's marketplace to view apps that are compatible with Android 4.0 or contact the 3rd party developers directly for support.Flash support will be disabled, but this can be easily fixed by visiting Google Play's marketplace and downloading the latest available Adobe Flash player application. But when u find SI (Sales Item) released software table the software for xperia mini SI is 1248-9517 is released and available in PC Campanion where it can update for xperaia mini.
Q1] why it is not showing update available when try to update from phone? Is it not fully released/ not compatible/ any bug/error ?
Q2] If i update to Ice Cream Sandwich and if any problem occurs then can i revert back to an old version of android i.e gingerbread.?
I am updating my xperia mini using pc companion, but I always stuck in step 2, when they tell follow this instructions then I follow, I disconnect the usb to the laptop then turn off the phone an then plug the usb again then press and hold the volume down while plugging the usb to phone and nothing happens..
I tried updating my phone with pc companion and it failed. It only got 50%! Now my phone will not turn on. It won't flash with the service tool or pc companion or the flash tool from XDA! Is my phone faulty? If not what can I do?

I can't connect my X10 mini pro with PC Companion although I tried all the steps and supports instruction (reconnect the USB plug, tunrn off then turn on the phone, uninstall then reinstall the PC Companion, etc...). It appeared (a thousand times) "No phone connected".
When I installed the software for the first time, it asked to me to delete PC Companion data from the memory card to save space, but I didn't. Now I need more space, but I can't find that 'feature' no more, I tried to unistall and reinstall the software but this time no message appeared. What should I do to remove those files?
I have just formatted my laptop and installed win-7 64 bit , Now I want to install PC Companion on it what I should do for it. I have ICS in my mobile.
syncing my mini pro to google - especially calendar and contacts, theese are the two most important features of the phone for me. In the past but more often recently (actually every time I sync via internet connection), I get theese notifications: am using Bussines Calander Free app as my calendar app. Could this be issue with PC Companion or with BCF?
My Xperia Mini Pro [SK17i] is not detected by PC Companion under both Windows XP & Seven. The device works fine in Mass Storage Mode, so the connectivity cable & ports are alright. Then I tried with the 'Device Manager' Updating, Uninstalling & Reinstalling & even changing the ports. The device still fail to start in MTP Mode as the Windows 7 would say.
My phone has 4.1.B.0.431 software version. Here [URL]. I find that latest version is 4.1.B.0.587. but when I connect my phone with Sony PC Companion it's shows that my phone has already latest software. Why it's saying this thing. Here below I given all screen shots for reference.
Today i tried to update my xperia mini and sony PC companion started the update process. but the second tab, prepare system for updation fails to complete. it just stops abruptly without any message or notifications.
You want, that the ownwer of a pro installs PC companion and you animate him to upgrade to 4.o.4.But you don`t allude, the the pro gets much slower, can not be rooted simply as it is possible with android 2.3 !!
my problem is that it does connect with PC companion with USB, but not with bluetooth.It does get paired, the pc sees the phone, correct name, gives me the 4 digit code, and put them in the phone, but when I put in the phone, it seems ok, until PC Companion just says I cannot connect via BT, and tells me to try with USB cable.Why would I try with BT, for any other reason that not wanting to use the cable?Well, anyway, BT in the PC is ok (i used to connect with a Palm Treo 1 week ago), and BT in the phone is ok, it connect with car's handsfree.
I have upgraded my SK17i to ICS when I first bought it and update it again with 587 update last months. But my phone have this lag problem so, I thought I repair it via PC Companion today. The problem is, phase 3 (updating) phase doesn't seems to progress. The progress bar is at zero for an hour now and my internet is connected.
Update: This is taking too long for me to wait, I'm cancelling the update by clicking the [x] button. I hope it doesn't touch anything on the system and just downloading the update file.
Update 2: I cannot boot my phone now, it shows yellow triangle with exlamation mark.
When I save contacts to the memory card I get a file named 00001.vcf. When I open this file in outlook it seems to contain only the first of all my contacts. Can I open this file in another way to get all my contacts? Is it possible to import all my contacts to Pc Companion? When I syncronize the phone with this program I only get the bookmarks exported from the phone to the program. No contact is exported. I have already lost my contacts once and will be sure that I have saved them correctly.
MY x10 mini pro will not install PC Companion to my Pc running Windows XP.The intstallation runs but each time it will return to the beginning screen.How do I install this on my PC?
