can any please tell what is the problem here..
i also reset the phone and tried but not able to solve the problem.
please tell me what to do.
Did you follow the instructions for the update process? What program are you using to update your phone? I suggest you use SUS (sony update service, download it from the official website here http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
The phone should be turned off. Follow carefully the instructions the program will give you.
Than report back if you have any other issue.
regards
nebrA
were you really following instructions? and were you really prepared to do it?
I've flashed 4.0.4 on top of 4.0.3 without any issues

Is your laptop running on Windows XP? Because I am facing the same problem as well, so what I did, is run the update on Windows 7 PC.
Maybe you should try that
thank u for your suggestions...
I download Sony update software and tried I still had the same problem so..
I formatted my laptop re- installed drives and then tried to update now there was no problem... now my x- ray is running on android 4.0.4

While trying to upgrade my Xperia X10i from Android 1.6 to 2.1 at one stage when I press and hold the back button while connecting the USB cable to the phone a message appears on computer screen saying "New hardware found" "SEMC flash device" and the computer (running on windows XP) hangs. This is happening again and again and preventing me to upgrade to Android 2.1. I need help in following areas:
1. How to install the SEMC flash driver (and of course where to find it)
2. How can I proceed further to update my phone to Android 2.1
3. Any link of youtube showing the installation of SEMC flash driver
My phone info is as following:
Model: X10i
Country: Android rest of Africa (b)
Brand: Customized ARO
Sony Ericsson PC companion is showing availability of new update (Android 2.1) but the above mentioned error is not letting me complete the installation process. I'm using this phone in Pakistan.
Urgent help/ guidance would be highly appreciated.

I'm new to smartphones, therefore, have little knowledge of technicalities. I'll greatly appreciate if someone please gives some step by step procedure with regard to solving the above mentioned issue.
Today I tried the command: menu back back menu back menu menu back and in the "security" settings and found this:
Version Label:
R1C003
CERT Status:
SEMC [Key OK] [Active]
VIACCESS [Key OK] [Deactive]
MARLIN [Key OK] [Deactive]
SEMC key is active and this is probably the cause of freezing computer and not letting Android 2.1 install. But I'm not sure. Any one who understands these settings please confirm if this is the cause. And if yes then how to 'deactivate' the SEMC key.

No, I believe that this means that the SEMC KEY -- the BACK BUTTON is active, meaning it can be used. The Back button is the only way to activate flash mode when the PC recognizes the phone as a SEMC device.
SEUS says that the min requirement is a P4 3.6Ghz processor, and that if the software doesn't recognize the phone in 3-6 seconds, you have to try it again by using the back button on the software so that it won't lock up.

As soon as I hold the back button and attach the USB cable with the phone (Xperia X10) this message appears "Found New Hardware" "SEMC Device" and the computer running on Windows XP (2.8 Ghz processor) hangs and doesn't do anything unless I restart it. I've changed USB port of computer and also set the phone to factory default settings but no progress. I have tried Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and PC Companion both but no success. Is there any way to upgrade my phone from Android 1.6 to 2.1? Need help.

See the couple of threads in this section, but you will need flash mode to use them, and SEUS as well so getting that sorted should be your first concern.

I'm a newbie here and this is my first ever smart phone. I'll be grateful if you could copy/paste a link here which could solve my problem or if possible tell me step by step procedure with regard to getting this SEMC device/ driver issue resolved. I have tried upgrading Android from 1.6 to 2.1 on at least two desktop computers but both hanged as soon as the "Found New Hardware" message popped up.

You can find the threads in this section for getting 2.1, your computer hanging is a different issue however. I don't have XP so maybe someone else that does can help you with that.
Hey, I had the same problem as you..
fyi: I'll be using SEUS and "Update Service" interchangeably
1. google "se update service x10", the first result should be the sonyerricson website. The page there is the download page for SEUS.
2. Download and install 'Update Service' (~35.3MB file).
3. Backup your phone data first.
4. Run SEUS and follow the onscreen instructions. I don't quite remember the exact steps, but it should be something like:
4a. Turn of phone, wait at least 30 secs.
4b. Plug in USB to phone.
4c. Hold 'Back' button on phone
4d. Plug in USB to PC.
5. SEUS should detect your phone and look for updated firmware. But it should also install your SEMC usb drivers that you need for the flash tool.
When I did the above, it didn't find any firmware updates for my phone, so I could just exit SEUS and use the 2.1 flasher in the other posts.

I've already tried Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and PC Companion as I mentioned in my earlier posts above but no success. Please shed some light on 2.1 flasher which u have mentioned. Also, I would appreciate if you could tell me how you resolved your issue. I'm not good at technicalities so I hope you would explain me things in simpler words.
so the 2.1 flash I mentioned won't help your case right now, since you are still stuck at the 'New Hardware Found'.
I just reread your posts, and your computer hangs (ie.freezes?) when you plug in the device?
You will probably need to do the update on a newer (ie. better) computer... can you borrow a friend's computer? If your computer isn't hanging when you plug the device, then everything else will work out. So get your hanging computer issue resolved first.
I think it is a major problem with your pc if the drivers cannot be installed.
At least one try is NOT TO RELEASE THE BACK BUTTON when Seus trys to detect your phone.
If all don't work your XP might be ****ed up and needs a fresh install at all.
If you are not willing to reinstall XP just try to get handson another PC to flash your phone
Also be sure all VirusScanners and Firewalls etc are shut off!
Regards
I've tried at least two desktop computers (both running on Windows XP) and both hang as soon as they find new hardware (only in case of Xperia X10). I tried other hardwares like Printer and another phone Sony Ericsson K750i. Surprisingly both worked perfectly well and drivers were also installed. I think I should give Xperia X10 a try on a laptop now. See what happens.
Issue has been resolved. I installed USB Flash Driver before opening SEUS and going for update. And when driver was successfully installed then I restarted the computer and then upgraded my Xperia X10i by using Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). Now, I'm having Android 2.1 which is working perfectly well. Thanks for your precious suggestion, friends.
Hi coldbird,
can I ask where did you get the drivers?
I checked the S-E site and it says there that the newest drivers are included in Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0
If I attach the X10 before opening PC Companion, then after a short while the Companion opens anyway.
I have disabled Kaspersky because I read somewhere that it can cause issues.
I still have not been able to update my friends X10.
Any advice welcomed.

Thank you for sharing the tip. It works for me too.
1) Installed the flash driver first by connecting the phone (switched off) to the pc while holding the back key button.
2) Once the driver successfully installed. Restart the pc. Switched on the phone.
3) Open the Sony Companion app and connect the phone.
Please Help
While attempting to update to 2.1 through SEUS, the installation failed, telling me that my battery was too low. The phone is now stuck in flash mode, the SE logo flashes for a brief moment, then I am met by a screen with a phone and an Exclamation Point in a triangle for awhile, then the phone restarts and does it again.
I have obviously tried removing the battery and trying again. SEUS has the same result every time I attempt this. I have also installed PC Companion, and one of two things happen 1) PC Companion completely hangs my Win7 (32bit) machine, or 2) Prepares to repair the phone, and while 'preparing', an error pops up and directs me to the webpage.
Please give me some suggestions, as the phone won't even boot properly at this point. Thanks for all your help!
Update:
I've now tried deleting the contents of the SEUS update directory, to force it to redownload the update, with the same results. I have left the phone to charge.
I have tried the flash file here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839011&page=3
and it just scrolls looking for my phone. To be sure, I also tried on another computer with XP, and had the same result.
As a last resort I tried X10FUB (the X10 Unbricker) and it was unable to flash.
I find it hard to believe that by using SEUS as it was intended, performing a genuine update my phone is now a paperweight.
(Unrooted, branded w/ Roger's firmware)
After spending all night plugged into the wall outlet, I wanted to try again this morning.
SEUS - update installs to about 98%, then fails.
PCCompanion - Reinstalled it this morning, direct from SE homepage. While attempting to repair, on the Prepare tab I get an error: "Unable to install or start phone software update components." The weird thing is, this error happens regardless of if the phone is connected or not.
Can anyone shed some light on this matter? It'd be appreciated!
No one? Really?
...
As another update, I've tried now on another PC, and PC Companion errors out at the exact spot. Clearly there's something wrong with this software.
Someone must have some ideas for me... SE's only response was to try another computer, although I think they just wanted me off the phone.
To further continue the thread of me talking to myself;
I have now tried SEUS and PCCompanion from two seperate computers with identical results. Clearly an issue with the phone itself, not a software or flashing problem.
I've spoken to my providor, Rogers, and they've agreed to send a replacement phone. Looks like I have to use my old KRZR in the meantime.

Any suggestions please?

Go here. Make sure you run SEUS or PC companion at least once before you use the flash tool. They should not be running when you are flashing. Also, when you connect your phone in flash mode it should be switched off. Sounds like you were trying to do it while the phone is switched on.

So wait, you don't know what root is?
(⊙＿⊙)
Apparently this phone is the SGH-1777... We've had it wrong this whole time!
Have you tried searching these forums and the official AT&T forums? They might have more info you can use since your phone is stock. That or call their Tech Support.
Good luck!

You need to try reinstalling the drivers for the phone.

Like Phalanx7621 suggested, install/re-install drivers and Kies. If you do have Kies installed on your system, remove it. Then go to Samsung's website, download the latest version, and install into your system. That should take care of your computer not recognized your phone problem. For the random restart problem, it may be a defective battery.
HTH.

Make sure you start Kies before you plug the USB to the phone
Call your carrier because if you haven't made any modifications like most of us do then maybe its a problem for them and they might be able to fix it for cheap or get you a new phone since this doesn't sound like its your fault.
