i own a xperia neo and i saw reviews for the ics 4 update tht sony rolled out which were not convincing. i'd like to get started on how to upgrade to it manually . i'm very new to this and pls anyone guide me. if its the video tutorials, it would be more than helpful
thanks in advance
What do you mean by Manually updating ?
All you need to PC Companion or SEUS, just download anyone from Sony Web Site, & let it update it for you, just follow the instruction (which will give you when you install PC Companion or SEUS)
Good Luck

as reported by an official press on an italian android blog HDblog
sorry for my bad english at first , but i dont know how to update , they talk about ( xrecovery - wipe - Cyanogenmod - MiniCM6 ) but i dont know what all of that and i see on youtube but i try to restart my phone and press BACK button like they did in video but its nothing happen , its open normally , plz i need that so much by step by step plz
I think they were talking about the official update to 2.1, which you can get through the Sony-Ericsson PC Companion. There's no need to deal with xRecovery or miniCM. Just open PC Companion, connect your phone and it shoud check for updates. And then follow the instructions on the monitor
Hi guys. sorry for starting a new thread, im a desire owner, but my friend has just bought a x10 mini, it came with donut, am i right in assuming the eclair update is out yet? my friend is having trouble donwloading the update from the sony servers, when ever he tried it returns the error, could not contact update server (or somthing like that).
anyway my question is, is it possible to download the update from another source and flash it from sd? If so could someone give me a download link and also tell me how to enter bootloader ect on the xperia as i know nothing about it. your help is much apreciated guys
at this time there nothing like flash from SD for the X10 series!, the most easy way for your friend is install PC Companion on other computer and other ISP the try to update, also check if the update is present for that kit from the config menu.
U.K eclair should be out for most U.K mini's now..
If your friend is having trouble search the Mini thread for Bin4ry's Flashtool, you can download the U.K 2.1 firmware and install with his flashtool on a windows P.C
hope that helps..
please can i use the same procedure used in updating xperia x10 to update my x10i?
i have xperia x10i and i want to update it please help me. please this is my contact [email protected]
Please Explain
What do you mean by updating it? What are the procedures you talk about?
Use Sony Update Service if you want to update from 2.1 to Gingerbread but back up your data first.
You can also use Sony PC Companion to update your software

@huddlestone2013. It depends on what exactly u want to do...?? If you just want to update your x10i just go with the sony pc suite and update it .
Insted it you want to put some custom roms, then first you need to root your phone/unlock your bootloader, then select any of the awesome roms provided in the development thread.
Here's the link for rooting, unlocking bootloader.

Hey everyone ,
I am new here and this is my first post so let me get started and say thankyou for this awesome forum and thankyou all for your help.
I have a sony ericsson xepria pro mk16i. It was a gift so it is a very precious to me.
I have been facing trouble with it since some timesuch as low memory high battery consumption and I am not able to install or unistall any apps on it.
I looked online and found that I have to root it , I tried an application called rootgenius on my pc but when it reached the rooting step it crashed ( twice!! ). SO i gave up on it. I looked a lot throught the xda forum and found that I have to update my device to ICS before I can root it . I tried to use the sony companion method and that failed because it seems that sony doesn't have the update/ software on their servers anymore. I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/xperia-pro/root-xperia-pro-android-2-3-4-help-t2862534 .
In this thread the OP was adviced to use flashtool. I looked online into using flashtool but I was more discouraged than ever to even try.
As you may see I am rather inexperienced when it comes to my phone , as thus I appreciate ( a lot ) any guidance or instructions as to what to do.
Thanks a million everyone.
