Hold the back key

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:38:32 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to update my x10 mini with PC companion.

At step 2, it ask to deconnect the phone and switch it off....

When I hold the back key and plug the cable on the phone, the green light turns on for 10-20s and then nothing. I kept the key for approx 1 min but nothing is happening.

When I release it, the phone go on charging.

I tried several times, unsuccesful.

What should I do?

I just had the same problem.

You only have to hold the "back" key for a few seconds. That is - hold it down, plug the micro-USB into the phone, and wait 3-5 seconds before releasing it.

That worked for me.

Do it like this

Make sure that you battery is charged to at least 50%

1. Switch off the phone and wait for 30 seconds

2. Connect the data cable to PC

3. Now press back button on your phone [keep pressing continually]

4. While pressing connect the USB cable to the phone. Keep on pressing until PC Companion asks you to release the back key.
