Xperia Z3 :: Update Failed And Now Phone Won't Start
Jul 3, 2010
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.
I have just updated the new software on my n97, it downloaded and updated fine then it kept coming up with memory full on C drive, delet some memory. After about an hour trying to reach the settings menu to delete some data off that drive, i thought turning the phone on and off might help but i was wrong it now comes up with phone start up failed. contact the retailer. Can i fix this myself or should i just take my phone back to the shop and does my guarantee cover this seems it was a nokia update?
i just updatet my z3 and now it wont start! it gets to the first screen with white text saying "Sony experia", then shuts down, starts up to the first screen and then shuts down...
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've seen a lot of discussion regarding the X10 not turning on after a failed update, but my issue seems to be different from all of them.I've seen people mentioning that their green light flickers, or the screen is frozen or displays an error message. Mine does NONE of that.Holding down the power button does nothing at all. The phone shows no sign of life. The LED doesn't come on, the screen doesn't come on, nothing. It does nothing.The battery is charged (and I even left it charging for over an hour - during which the LED was STILL off) and it will not connect to any of the Sony Ericsson software on my laptop.
I updated the Firmware of my N97 mini (to v30.0.004) after the download and update, the phone could not start-up again. Phone says "Start-up failed. Contact the Retailer." I updated it by dialing *#0000# then clicked on OPTIONS, CHECK FOR UPDATE?
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..
Recently i was updatin my Z2 with a wifi conection, but after a while it stopped downloading the update and it showed me this message: "Error - Update failed", and now i cant use it, i tried to reset it with the reset botton but it didn´t work so now i don´t know what to do,
I was updating my xperia z2 on Sony bridge for mac and it was saying that it is fail to update the phone shut it self down and when I am trying to open/restart it again it keep saying that the software update failed make sure that you are connected to the computer and try again but when i connected it to my mac it doesn't work so my phone are not being able to work or connected to my mac ...
I got some issues while switching on my phone. Today my phone has automatically downloaded system update, after completion i installed that update and few minutes after installation, phone restarted and shows this massage "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to computer and try again."
I connected my phone to the computer but still shows the same message and shuts down automatically and im not using any custom recovery.
I did a firmwire update to 400.21.013 along with a password protected Memory card inside my E63.I forgot the password long back,but i could use it, so no problems.However, when i tried to restore the backup file which i made before the update,Vista shows BSOD error in between and restarts.And now when i start the phone,the above error appears on the screen.
My nokia c7-00 wont start-up after it got switched off due to low battery when switching it on a message is being displayed "phone start-up failed contact retailer"
After update to Belle I have been getting more and more "Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer." messages.I had thought these were associated with a theme I had installed, but it started happening with the default theme.My phone is borderline unusable.
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.

Unable to install or start phone software update components''I have the X10 mini and I'm trying to update the software on it. I've downloaded the PC companion, and the error shows up at the 2.Prepare stage of the update.
I have rebooted my computer and the phone too, and that error message still pops up every time I try to update.
I get this message when i want to start up the phone. A few days ago it also had problems to start up: I pressed "on" button untill it vibrates (then it normally starts up) but it didn't do anything, after some tries (around 15) it did start up. Then today the phone just shutted down and wasn't able to start up. And I get the message in the title.I have tried hard reset (shift, space, backspace + on) but it doesn't do anything.I have the newest firmware for my country (Belgium) and i think its 92.003 but not entirely sure.
I tried installing a new email client and ever since the phone is not booting its giving above error any clues how to install the OS again on E5 I ok with data loss
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 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 m Also having the same issue, "unable to install or start phone software update components" when trying to upgrade my Xperia Neo V using the latest PC Companion software.I've also given a try using the Update Service, downloaded from Sony mobile update website, but no use.
Model: Xperia Neo V. Mode: SE PC Companion Software Windows: Windows 7 And Also Trie in WinXP. Location: India
a couple of days ago I tried to do an update on my W995a via the SEUS program (latest version used, downloaded the day I did the update), It got to about 90% then stopped and stayed at 90% for about 2 - 4 minutes then it came up with Update Failed, I've retried the process a few times and all have failed, I've used the repair feature in the PC Suite program to try to fix the phone but it fails about about 90% as well, I had no issues or software glitches with the phone before attempting the Update. The phone now will not load the OS but instead just sits there with the keypad lights on. Is there a solution to this problem? As this is my main phone and the SEUS program has broken it.
