That's unrelated. You can use flashtool to update, see the sticky in the dev section.

Have you tried updating your .fw OTA?

Flashtool.

Nice, you have brown phone. Remove battery and check on sticker on phone, most likely you will see prototype
you can try with SEUS, I don't expect it to work but you can try.
Don't know if flashtool supports brown phones, I would first ask creator of flashtool. I expect it to work, but ask first
if it says prototype, I would first check what fw is on the phone, is it branded, what region.
some prototypes can die if you flash new fw on them.

That's really a big worry...he must have got the phone before the official release...from some online vendor.

Well, not really a big worry. Some people want to have prototypes
Prototypes, from phone models which actually released, meaning you can find that phone model in store, can sometimes be final products, meaning even though they are prototypes, they can be flashed and used like other units. I have one W715, it's final version of prototype, so it can be flashed, but it wasn't in store
Prototypes, from phone models which aren't released are more likely tricky, it need to be careful with them.

If it's working as it is, and if it isn't branded fw, I wouldn't mess with it
Would like to hear OP, what is the situation with phone. And did he bought it in store, or get trough some other ways

2.1 initial firmware requirments (based on info from 29/10/10)

So it has been announced today that the first kits will be released this Sunday Evening. In Nordic Countries. (Finland, Iceland Sweden etc.)
Considering we all suspected UK to be the first to obtain 2.1, a lot of people have flashed to Generic UK.
Is it still possible to flash to Nordic Generic? Only if needed
Thanks in advance.

Yes, but how do you flash those two files. They have no extension
You have to use the SEUS method explained in the tutorial, dont think you can use the FLASH TOOL with these.
Dont forget that you need 50% battery
Thanks for the replies. I will do this when I go home and edit my first post so everyone can see who what were and when before Sunday, saves multiple threads and confusion

Will not work
Jumping to Nordic Firmware will not help you to get the latest ROM for 2.1 when it's releases. SEUS and OTA will read your device for hidden manufacturing data and only allow devices built for that market to receive the update. I described this several times in the general 2.1 coversation. SEUS will know if your device was built for T-Mo UK, AT&T, HK Generic, LAM Generic, etc... and force you to wait for your approved version. Sony Ericsson is firm in their commitment to complying with all legal and compliance standards of various countries and operators. Sorry but you'll just have to wait your turn.
Come on you TROLL, this is a complete nonsense ! Just keep your mouth shut if you've got no idea what u are talking about.

It's not nonsense. For one SEUS can read your IMEI number. Instant disapproval of firmware right there. There are also other hidden mechanisms in SEUS and OTA to overcome you spoofing IMEI or similar attacks.
SE has you beat because that's how they want it. This is not an open developer phone. This is a consumer phone. Even HTC has begun locking you out through hardware controls that eliminate ROOT and Custom FW. Android is now owned by the carriers and the manufacturers must comply. Appeal to Meizu if you want Developer devices in the future. They'll likely bend over for any type of sale at the moment.

My phone has 2.0.A.0.504 .. I have restore my phone with se companion and it has already by it self the new market..
2.0.2 vs 2.0 .1 its sound good maybe the froyo is the next release
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
plz can u explain this fr what this site stands fr??
I don't think so
If they release the SE PSP they will not update X10 anymore
The playstation will be released on April so End of Q1 2011 is exacly as they says so That gona be gratefull if they give as Mulit-touch. I dont sure about froyo and I dont dream about gingerbread.
That is a pesymistic thinking and more realistic because if we analize the last upadate which take all most one year I going to suspect that we will get any update next Chistmas
Really not that bothered if they never release another update as long as they unlock the bootloader so the devs can start cooking up some real good stuff.
First off, there's no info what so ever to what that firmware is about. Just because one firmware is taken off from an unofficial list does not mean the official is canceled, it is still available in EMMA so it will continue forward.. There WILL be another update, there will NOT be any cancellation to the next update.

New Firmware 6.0.A.3.73 rolling out

As per the Xperia S Facebook page, it seems like another new firmware version is rolling out. 6.0.A.3.73 firmware rolling out on Xperia S.
Does anyone know what this version is about? What all fixes and changes have been introduced.
Also, I am still stuck with ver 6.0.A.3.62. PC Companion still shows that I have latest version of firmware and no updates are available.
I am based in US and have an unlocked Singapore version of the phone. So does that mean I will not be getting this new firmware update as well? Since I didnot receive ver 67 either.
One way to manually get the updates would be to flash with the updated ROM. (As mentioned in a previous thread regarding ver 67 update)
Although I could try that, I dont want to try the same with my phone just yet . I thought Sony would be providing a proper user friendly way to get the firmware updates installed.
Any comments or suggestions??
Flash tool is way more user friendly than SEUS. These updates are per market and unless they feel that Singapore needs an update, you won'e get it. Keep in mind that most of these firmware carry few bloatwares which differ in each market. For each update they have to stick those into the ROM and that takes time.
If you need the latest, there are two ways:
1) Flash the latest provided file from here via Flashtool
2) What you have is the latest for your phone/market,
I moved from .62 to .67 - I can tell you that I have not experienced any differences and I am more optimistic to see signs of ICS. Hopeful not too far from here.
Good Luck
I have an unbranded Singapore set (customization version 1257_6921) and don't have the update either. So far, it seems like the .73 update is rolled out to Singtel-branded sets (customization version 1257-9049).

Really. Quite a number of Singtel users on HWZ have already updated to .73. You might want to check your set via PC Companion. But no noticeable differences reported.

It happened for me too.
What is strange I also found my phone turned off when the message appeared.
But I just unplugged it, turned this on, turned off again and started the upgrade.
And everything went smooth.

maybe someone can upload ftf file for the new firmware?
For those who don't see the update .67
PC Companion told my device was up to date too. But in order to update it to .67 I did the following: settings->applications->turn on "Usb debugging"
Connect device and start PC Companion, and then it saw the update.
Hope this helps

I don't mind, but don't know how to go about doing so. I checked out the tutorial found here but seems it's outdated, because the FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Service \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder are dated 2011. And I can't find any FILE_xxxx files in my Program Files \ Sony folder.
Edit: Ok, found the files under ProgramData \ Sony Ericsson \ Update Engine \ db \ 13740270 \ blob_fs folder. Will try to use Flashtool to create FTF and upload.

[Q] Xperia 2.1 upgrade...need help

Hi
A newbie could use some serious help. I have an Xperia X10 2010 model that came up with Android 1.6 which I upgraded to 2.1 last year.
Contract over, got it network unlocked. Now, I was able to remove all gmail acounts except for the one associated with Android. Since I need to pass on this phone to family, I need to get rid of that main account.
If Restoring Factory Settings is an option, I can't use it since it'll throw me back to Android 1.6 and checking for an available android update needs a network to be active.
So here I am, want to remove that one bloody account. And upgrade the device to a faster Android version (2.1 is outdated, slow and sucks big time).
I'd be really thankful to get any kind of hel on this one.
Best
SM
Go to the sony mobile website, download the update centre software and install it, after that plug in your phone and follow the on screen instructions.
could you just use flashtool to flash the generic stock 2.3.3 or 2.1 ROM.
that'll quickly fix your problem
or download over wifi?

So the Falshtool should remove my associated account? And since I have 2.1 currently, flashing would persist the version. Android 2.1 and alter, which one is the most stable version for this model?

A factory reset will not send you back to 1.6 it would factory reset the 2.1. Use this link to get 2.3 and don't this will also remove your google account from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

The latest official version is 2.3.3.
U hv unlocked the network. Doesn't mean u don't hv an active network. It means u can use any service provider's sim in ur phone. Also, I don't think a sim needs to be in the phone to update it.
And factory reset will only reset the settings to the ones which are default in current android version. The settings in ur actual settings menu. eg.: ur accounts, ringtone, display brightness, that kinda stuff. No changes are made to the firmware.
Upgrade to 2.3.3 instead btw. Don't bother staying on 2.1.. use sony PC companion. Connect the phone, start PC companion. It'll tell u by itself there's an update available. Follow the steps.. don't setup an account when it switches on after update. Pass it on to ur family

Xperia C5 Ultra Marshmallow Update

Guys, I need help. I can't update my xperia c5 ultra . Basically I never got OTA update but I decided I'm just going to update it through my PC with XPERIA Companion. The problem is that when I plug in the device, xperia companion just displays the message and says that my phone is up to date but it clearly isn't because its running Android 5.1. I've tried everything, and after maybe 50 tries message "new undefined software update is available" appeared but before I could do anything it just closed itself ?
Flash manually
It's not yet released for all countries.
U have to wait for couple of days to get it.
Or else you can download the firmware from
xperiablog . net
and scroll down and you will find a post telling c5 receiving Marshmallow
And flash it manually by Flashtool software.
