I see that you have Bridge, i just replied you on another thread lol, anyway did you try OTA? if you still are getting an error, maybe if because you have unlocked your bootloader, if that's not the case then you will have to flash a stock FTF to see if that corrects the issue, or try running PC Companion on a windows virtual machine.

Hey
I've got a problem updating my HTC Mozart.
It's a device from T Mobile Germany, which has the standard firmware.
In the Development-subforum there is a new firmware, 1.28.xxxx
My problem is that I can't update my HTC Mozart.
If I start the updater on the PC with the mobile connected, it quits after a timeout stating ERROR 260 - CONNECTION ERROR.
Is there anything I have to do or - better yet - a step-by-step instruction?
Do you have any idea, why it might fail?
//EDIT: I'm trying to flash from a Windows XP PC (32 bit) via USB.
And yes, I tried to use the bootloader, but it only displays SERIAL.
Could you please help me?

I didn't think that there were any actual updates available yet :S
Well there is a new version in the development subforum
It's an inofficial update, but that hasn't stopped me before...
In the meantime, I even managed to solve the problem:
Windows XP needs USB drivers in order to be able to use the RUU.
HTC's RUU doesn't provide any driver as it seems - and neither does Zune.
I had to install Active Sync (version 4.5 seems to be the latest) in order to get the driver - although the HTC Mozart can't be synced using Active Sync.
After that it was just going to the boot loader and starting RUU.
I have looked for debug drivers for my Xperia X10 on Windows 7 but can't find any.
Windows sees the phone and I can use the USB storage option.
However, I can't get it to connect to ADB for debug in Eclipse.
Have no problem on my (old) XP machine.
The drivers on the Sony-Ericsson site don't seem to support Windows 7.

It asks me to install something called iLivid.
What is that and why do I need it?

No, just skip the spam and download the drivers.
Thanks.
I try them as soon as I get to work in the morning.
Edit:
Worked first time. Many thanks.
just do this
just install flashtool
and then in flashtool folder you will see drivers folder..open it and open that file inside it.....choose whichever driver you want to install....it will bug many times that windows"this driver may not be compatible with sooo soo soo" simply click yes or accept ...
done adb is only android debug

hey did it really work for you?? i'm still in trouble....when i connect my xperia x10i the notification for "USB debugging on" comes up on the notifications bar...and phone asks if i want to connect to the computer or should just charging....
in PC the sony pc companion software comes up saying "sony ericsson phone detected"...but nothing after that...phone is not listed in the eclipse avd list...
note: i don't have a memory card in the phone...is that the problem??
I've updated my phone to Android 4.0.4 earlier through the PC companion, now i want to repair it through the companion again but it keeps saying: unable to install or start phone software update components. i've tried reinstalling PC companion, turning off firewall and anti-virus and did everything i could find on the internet about it but nothing worked. i tried to update through the Update Service but while synchronizing it says: an unexpected error has occurred. the application will shutdown. what should i do about it?

hi, I have an x10 mini pro, i've been used to flash custom roms on it and if something goes wrong i was always capable of moving back to froyo using pc companion's repair option, but i've been trying today to go back to froyo because a friend of mine bought the cell to me but she doesn't like Cyanogen mod cause it has bugs, so i plugged the phone to pc companion but it doesn't connect my phone, when i press support zone it doens't recognize the device, if i press how to connect a popup comes out, i follow instructions but the "final" option is to update pc companion, but i have the latest version. and that's it, how can i go back to froyo? im currently on gingerDx v021b.
does anyone has the files for flashtool or guide me on how to go back? thanks

You mean eclair, not froyo
I think you have to go into update phone or something in pc companion then do it from there, it doesn't matter if it recognizes the phone.
If that fails you'll have to use SEUS or flashtool, I'll try finding the files for you
I haven't used PC Companion in a while so I can't give you much advice

No luck in finding the files so far but you could follow the guide here and make your own ftf file specific to your operator and country - that will work best aside from PC Companion

i'm gonna try, i think latest pc companio (2.1) doesn't have the repair option, cause i remember with older ones i was able to choose repair even with my phone unplugged...
something else, when i open seus, a loading bar apears "checking for updates", but it never gets to the end, just half way and a popup appears: "AN ERROR OCURRED, APPLICATION WILL CLOSE". and it closes... can you help?

Hmm, no I can't seem to. try running it with admin privileges and maybe XP compatibility mode if you're on vista or 7

So I downloaded bridge for Mac (same as PC Companion), plugged it in and it told me there was a new update to 4.3 (16GB Wifi). Great, I proceeded and followed all directions.
It went right to the end, then I got an update failed message. The Tablet will not turn on now. It simply says "System Update Failed, Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and try again". But no matter what, Bridge doesn't recognize the device because it can't/won't turn on.
I tried to repair it using the same program and that failed. It's stuck being completely off and flashing the message every 1-2 minutes or so. Anyway to get this thing even turned on?
Thanks for the help.

first thing to do would be to check if it shows up via ADB.
google how to install it, check you have the drivers installed, then run adb devices to see if it's connected.
this of course would be how you would do it on win but I'd be surprised if you couldn't run adb on a mac
