New Software Update Problem

[Busyman]

So to start off. Why would you discontinue support of OTA updates Sony!?!?!? Now every time I need to update my phone I need to connect to a Pc. Now for the actual problem.. I tried updating to the new software however I can never get passed when you need to hold the volume down and plug the usb in part. Never works, I've tried multiple times. When the light turned blue something called s1boot driver popped up. Do I need this to make it work and how to I get it? Thanks

@Busyboy - If you are getting a Bluelight, this indicates that you are holding the volume up button instead of the volume down button when connecting, please try again.

@JoAfonseca - Please try updating the version of Java you are running then attempt this again: https://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

When I hold volume down button two different colours flash quickly then nothing. What is s1boot and do I need to locate that driver for it to work?

@biistu - OTA updates have not been stopped.

@Busyboy - That driver is for a different mode and not required for you are trying to do as this is for connecting in Fastboot mode, not Flashmode. Please also ensure when you connect the phone to the PC whilst holding the volume down button that you continue to hold for a period of time after connecting or it will not install and this will not work.
