[Q] Mini Pro SK17i no ICS upgrade? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

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...

[Q] using PC companion to update to gingerbread

when we update PC companion in our pc, it asks for our region right? if we give our region as thailand, is it possible to update our phone to the generic 2.3.3 gingerbread as it is released in Thai?
nope, someone else tried that already, there wasent an update to gingerbread even if u change your settings to thailand or china.
The most silly idea I've ever read on xda. Seriously, the update isn't released yet, and in fact there's no solid proofs that can prove the update at Thai was real, maybe its an unofficial update just for the expo, but it maybe fake too.
Just wait, when SE said its released then its released.

PC Companion reads your phone's CDA number to determine which firmware update you get. Changing the region on PC Companion won't do anything.
However, if you are rooted you can edit your CDA number in the build.prop file to change brands or regions. Reboot, then run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion with the edited CDA number. Just make sure you delete the contents inside the folder " db " found inside the folder where you saved SEUS or PC Companion on your computer.
Fyi, CDA 1234 - 4820 to change your phone to global generic X10a in preparation for the 2.3.3 Gingerbread update.

don't get too exited now... wait for the update

Maybe, no one besides some guys from SE, no anything so far.
Nothing is real, nothing is true, everything is just gossips, jokes or "guessed" information.
There is nothing saying when the updates are going to be released, to say poeple that it is coming in the next few months to me may mean 2 month and up to 10 months, who knows.
Just keep testing your custom rom.
what is all the fusss here
CM7 by J is very smooth and powerful with custome kernel and can be used daily.
Iris by Trip is Very Smooth and sweet with stock kernel and can be used daily.
Only problem they both have is proper camera and navigations issues.
If one cant live without gps or camera.
There are so many best and perfect 2.2 roms such as TripMiui Iris 1.6.5

all features working, no reboots no lags. Pure performance

Well if he's on a X10i device and inserts a CDA for X10a, the device wont be recognized by SEUS or PCC.
So remember to only use CDA's that correspond to your device.
I can not live with my X10i without gps or camera and HD video.
Will goes back to stock ROM for gps & camera, giving up App2sd, adobe flash and multi touch.

Yes, if you have X10i, then use the X10i global generic CDA. I just didn't know it to post it. However, it doesn't matter for SEUS or PC Companion. The difference would be in the baseband.

Yes it does matter to SEUS and PCC what CDA you use.
As I said they wont recognize your device and allow you to flash if you put a X10a CDA into a X10i or a SO-01b CDA into a X10a. The CDA must be for your device, be it X10a, X10i or SO-01b.

No. Both J and Trip's ROMs, although great, are not complete. Huge battery drain, not so smooth at times, no full camera and videocamera.
2.2 ROMs have Video camera lag, HUGE battery issues with custom kernels, and are good but...it's definitely not perfect.
SE's 2.3.3 would fix all that, not to mention might add new features like tethering and 16M colors.
Wow, cant believe theres no meantion of enoloks 2.2 xshinybread rom. Ive been using it for 3 days now with 350 kernel. The camcorder is super smooth and loud audio, no lag, I have 2 x10s and compared to optimized 2.1 with camera mods. On top of that one, everything works perfect for me and after a few cycles Ive got 12hrs as of now and at 48% battery moderate use with bluetooth all day. I quadrant 1380 and linpack 36+, 1420 and 38 with 347 kernel but not completely stable. Ive tried trips billions of updates, and wolfs is nice but I had some issues with battery, among other things, this is the best Ive tried. That said, official gingerbread is what Im waiting for and no disrespect to the devs meantioned, I know its somewhat of a collabaration so they all deserve respect, thats why I chimed in.
Does GPS navigation + Google Map works during your driving ?

According to unknown13x, you won't be able to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS on modified (rooted) firmware. You'll have to run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion prior to updating or use the Flash Tool to reflash generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware.

May be u r too fussy. I have been using froyo rom by trip and everything works including HD video wifi and GPS with excellent battery life.
May be u r from a different planet and u don't appreciate the hard work dev's do. It was due to devs hard Work on froyo roms for x10 SE announced 2.3 for x10.

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.

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

Why can't I update OTA to ICS on my Xperia S

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.

First you would need root but since root isn't available for release6b, you can't downgrade yet

so what i can do is wait, maybe JB fw would save me from stucking (have no expeactation in the next couple of days coz Xmas and new year is coming).
BTW, is it possbile to send it back to SONY cumstomer service and request for a earlier fw version installation?

Official ICS update is available for Xperia U (ST25i)

Judging by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
Many people are trying to flash ST25a firmware just to get the ICS update.
However if you are in Europe and have the ST25i model you can get the official update via PC companion. It doesnt tell you via OTA but when you connect the phone to pc companion you will be notified of the available update.
Hope this saves quite a few people from flashing the wrong firmware as many were having issues with it.
R: Official ICS update is available for Xperia U (ST25i)
Whats is this?
Update avaiable from 2012!
Misleading title!
