ICS: Can't update Xperia Pro (MK16i) although its SI number is listed

Thu, 31 May 2012 07:43:16 GMT

Hi there,

I have an issue with the update system for my Xperia Pro (MK16i 1249-5155) running a 2.3.4 Android OS (build 4.0.2.A.0.62).

Sony PC Companion always indicates that my phone is up-to-date: so, it's of course wrong. Is there a problem with Sony servers, please? Or should this SI number not be listed?

Thanks,

Same here in Germany. Sony Bridge for Mac V2.2 doesn´t show any update.

Is there any possibility or is it a problem with Son srvers?

"I checked and there is a problem right now and we're working on fixing it ASAP.

As for now 4.0.3 users that has received the 4.0.4 update will be able to update OTA (Over The Air).

Please don't ask about any timings for when this will be fixed, it will be fixed as soon as possible."

in this http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/201595#201595 thread. I think, we'll geting the update today or tomorrow. I'm curious to see if they add new SI numbers today.

Sure! Well, updating was very fast and easy. I used PCC. My SMS are saved, my pattern code was saved but I load the back up for my contacts. I'm happy that I did a back up!

In my opinion my phone is a littlebit slower at the start as with GB but that's no problem for me. I used a task killer like before.

I figure it out a bit more.

When you have a qustion you can ask me of course!

It works now.

But...

You may have found this error: "unable to install or start phone software update components". That is to say that there is an issue with the Java RE installation: if you have not yet installed Java, PC Companion tries to download an application (1.6.xx version) which is always unable to install itself (at least, it's my case).

So, on 32 bits Windows OS, you have to manually install Java using an installer from the Oracle website.

OK, with that it's good for 32 bits OS.

But...

On 64 bits OS, if you have already installed Java, PC Companion doesn't detect it. And PC Companion tries to download the same aforementioned bad application.

So, it seems that the update process may never work on 64 bits OS.

Maybe Sony should add a manual install for people using 64 bits Windows OS or Linux.

Thanks,

Well if PCC is based on Java, then its not much of a stretch to port that to Linux, there isn't many platforms that Java doesn't have a JRE for

PCC here needs Java, but PCC may not be based on Java :smileymischief:.......

But a Linux simple application only designed for updating phone should be a very good idea......

I tried and tried and tried and tried... on Windows Seven 64 and it never worked!

I don't tried on Linux with Wine: too dangerous for the phone of course.

But I have the chance to have kept on an old computer a WinXP 32 : and here it worked.

So...

I went on to http://www.java.com/de/download/windows_xpi.jsp?locale=de and installed that Java thing afterwards the installation worked out perfectly
I hope this will help you.
