GB update for xperia active

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 05:22:30 GMT

Hi... i got my active in January 2012. within a few days i got an option for software update for Gingerbread itself. this update has some new graphic display variations and it was good. recently i gave factory reset and the phone gone back to its initial version. can you please tell me how to get the update again?

i dont want to upgrade to ICS as my frnds said the phone gets hanged when we do it. i need only a gingerbread fw upgrade.

Please help!

Best regards,

Divi

ooh. that would be impossible now with Sony Update Service or Pc Companion only gives ICS for active.

try to go to a sony service center and see if they can get the upgrade back. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

He's better off getting an official GB firmware from WotanServer, since that's probably cheaper than the additional costs charged by a service center. I believe that even with warrenty, it will cost at least 10 euros in a service center, and the phone will often be away for at least a week...

I remember that someone on here said that he took his phone to a service center to downgrade the firmware, and it costed him money, and he had to miss his phone for two weeks.
