I'm having issues upgrading the Xperia X8 to android 2.1 in both PC Companion and the Update Software. I've tried them both in Safe mode with networking and that doesn't work either.The software update application fails to recognise the device and PC companion always says that it has failed to download the update and to "try again alter".
First of all, sorry in advance for any mistakes, because I just crated my account here.I just tried to update Android 2.1. As I correctly followed the steps from PC Companion, still the firmware version shows 1.6 version. The only change that I saw in my mobile was the Backup and Restore was added to my home screen.My questions are:
If I beckup my files would the software will update to 2.1 version?Even if I try to update the software through PC Companion, is it necessary that the software have to be available in my country ?Btw, I am using T-mobile operator in Macedonia (FYROM).
Over the last few weeks I tried to download or upgrade apps but it always fails. I always get the message: "Download was unsuccessful please try again". When I go to the android market and look at the help front page there is a link called "Download Issues Troubleshooting page". The fix described in here does not work for my phone.
How do I make my phone work properly again.
Also, I am on Android 1.6 but I cannot upgrade to 2.2. The PC Companion says that I have an up to date phone.

update my phone software to 2.1? I live hear in Saudi Arabia. Until now since last month announcement of rolling out of updates I'm still waiting for my share of bread. Even I used the latest PC companion I still can get any, it's showing that I have the latest software while it's not.
iv had a sony xperia mini pro for about a year now and my si number 1249-4862 which was on the old list which sony removed for the upgrade 4.0 but i still cant upgrade am i doing something wrong? is there any other way of upgrading to 4.0?
While running the 2.1 update on my phone the upgrade stopped. Now i can't start the phone, a warning icon shows on the display for a couple of seconds and then the phone turns off again.
Just got my new SE XPERIA Mini Pro. When searching for apps on Andori Market, I understand I need Android 2.2 for many of them. Can I upgrade from Android 2.1 to 2.2?
I'm having installation problem with my Xperia X8. I can't upgrade my phone software to Android 2.1 version. I have done the back up things but I can't even move on to the second step. It'll appears to me "unable to install or start phone software update components.
Have just upgraded xperia pro to the latest android 4 using the sony software, the phone has not been modified just official sony updates done. Software installed ok but on first turning the phone back on it is asking for a number, have entered the 6 digit number that I used for McAfee but it does not work, nor does the O2 default pin code work. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I suspect that it is the McAfee software that has made the phone fail, McaAfee causes problems on pc's.
I am so so dissapointed with Sony. At no point was I warned that all my Apps would be lost in the upgrade! I had calander apps with important dates in, and a notes facility which contained all sorts of vital information including passwords I don't have recorded else where (stupid I know). Now all of those apps are gone. I'm struggling to recover my contacts at the moment as well, but am following the advice in the discussions to try to recover those!
I bought my Xperia x10i 2 weeks ago and got the manual update to android 2.1 from SE service centre and I rebooted the phone and now just tried using the camera and guess what, it says Camera Not Available.
Looking at the upgrade page there is a place which tells you what is still there. Top of the list is "Market Applications"But on my phone they are all gone.In p[articular the saved info in My Tracks appears to be lost i.e. I have lost all my tracks. I habitually save my tracks onto the SD card but they are saned as GPX or KML filesAm I missing something? Can I bring these back into My Tracks?
I have xeperia X8 since 1 yr. just recently found out that I have android version 1.6. so wanted to upgrade it to android 2.1 or higher. saw few threads & found that after backing up phone data I can run PC software & the software installer will update it to Android 2.1 but when i click on support zone > software update in pc companion, it says "your phone has already updated software". I dont know why its showing that & not downloading the android version. Should I update the PC companion software also?
I live in the Philippines and I have been trying and trying to update my phone to 2.1 in my computer and I always get the same results. My OS is windows XP and I have tried both PC companion and SE Update service for the upgrade. When it comes to the part where I have to "turn off the phone...wait for 5 or 30 secs, connect the cables etc then press the back button while inserting the microUSB into the phone"....then nothing happens. My computer just freezes after a few minutes with nothing indicating on the screen that something...anything is going on. I have tried this several times and for several days already.
My xperia neo with 2.3.4 android didn't show the ICS upgrade as available. I tried downgrading to stock 2.3.2 and PC companion allowed me to upgrade to ICS, but during the downgrade I had the 0% battery bug, which after a google search found to be quite common. The upgrade to ICS didn't help either. I then flashed a stock 2.3.4 rom, but that still didn't solve the problem.
Until now I've only flashed stock roms, so as far as I understand I didn't void the warranty. The only workarounds I've found for this bug require an unlocked bootloader. I would be prepared to unlock it if I could, but I think as soon as I disconnect the phone from PC it powers completly off because it thinks battery is empty and I can't connect it in unlock bootloader mode (press menu+plug USB cable doesn't give blue LED).
