Hi, I have an Italian Generic Xperia S. On Sony Mobile's blog they clearly stated one of the three methods you can update your S to ICS is OTA through the Update centre. In fact when I first got my S I was able to update to .73 OTA. Now just yesterday I got the notification to update to ICS on my Xperia S and to my utter dismay it said I have to do it through PC Companion. Why can't I do it OTA when Sony said I can?
The update will be directly accessible in your phone over mobile networks and WiFi, but also with the option of upgrading using a computer – either with our web-based Xperia Update, PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.

Its to large and flash would be incomplete in OTA.

But Sony SAYS YOU CAN I really don't want to install PC Companion just for a one time update.

Then install flashtool.
What about through the website, can you upgrade using that Java powered online updater?

You should be able to do that if you have the drivers.

Hi, recently I have purchased Xperia U. I try to find out is there any ics update available for my zone or not. So I connect my phone with pc through the provided software with phone and after successful connection it shows ics update waiting for my set. I thought I will try OTA update instead of through pc. I checked my phone setting -> update software and found that my set is already up-to-date I.e GB. I am really confused. This type thing did not happen with me before for my HTC set. Someone pl. Help. Thanks in advance.

Just try updating through the sont software?
If that doesn't work you can always try flashing an FTF file with latest update for Xperia U
Goodluck!
Update from GB to ICS through OTA is not available, you have to update via PC

Bro, this is because the ICS is still not ready for your region.
The only way is to flash ics ftf file via flashtool.

Hi... I just bought a brand new Mini Pro, and it came with 2.3 GB Android. I went to software update and it updated to 4.0.2.A.0.62 - but it's still 2.3.4. GingerBread! I tried with PC Companion, it says I have the latest software... how do I get stock ICS?
Thank you in advance
Try Sony Update service
If that doesn't work either, use flashtool and flash the stock ics rom

Thanks for the quick reply. Sony Update service just informed me that I have the latest software, just like OTA and PC Companion. I then tried with flashtool and 4.1.B.0.431 firmware, which worked after a couple of tries It seems that new phones are not recognized for automatic update to ICS, so it has to be done manually.

Yeah, no problem with that... but I noticed something very strange when I removed the battery... my brand new sk17i, bought in june 2013. has 11W37 manufacturing week label! So, either those numbers are not what they seem to be (year W week), or the importer got some cheap, old, recalled, forgotten-in-the-warehouse, first batch units. I checked the manufacturing date because the famous chirping and static clicking sounds are there, I thought that problem was solved with the new units (I used to have mini pro some time last year). Now I know...
So the Sony website says the latest software version is 17.1.1.A.0.402. I am running 17.1.A.2.55 so I decided to udate through the PC Companion. All went well but it updated me to the same version that I already had and not to 17.1.1.A.0.402. Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks

Don't look on Sony web page.
Open pc companion and as soon as you connect device it'll tell you is there firmware for you (new firmware)
I guess you have used repair function in pc companion - because it won't flash same firmware that you already have unless you choose repair option.
Just download 438 firmware and flash it through flashtool.
If it's not for your region (if you aren't from Syria) exclude baseband files and everything will work.
It'll probably work with 438 baseband files but I had 4g problems with it so I kept mine, 402 baseband.

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.

You'll have to wait a bit more for the OTA, I'm from Mexico (E5506 from Iusacell-AT&T) and got the update just 3 days ago, you can use xpericheck to know when your update is available.
