no update available

[nathi]

Hello,

I just bought anxperia go from this website in the uk. The phone is unlocked and unbranded by any carrier. The os is stuck to 2.3.7 and when I check for update, the phone doesn't find any.

Yet on this website, jelly bean is said to be available.

One option would be to install via a PC but my computer is too old  so PC companion cannot be installed. 

Any idea howi can get the update and why the phone isn't finding it? I think this phone might be returned to Sony mobile very quickly if it doesn't update,..

Thanks in advance.

Was it ever locked to a carrier/network branded, even if its unlocked now?

No I bought it new and direct from this website - Sonymobile.com so it has never been locked or network branded

Is it possible to borrow a computer?

Since its a major update you will need a computer either a PC (PCC or SUS) or a Mac (Bridge)

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

No I can't see who I could borrow a computer from. Computers are personal with pictures saved passwords etc... People are not so keen on lending their computers, especially when I explain I have to download a large program on it...

So overall there is no over the air update?!? I can't believe I'm gonna have to trot return this phone to Sony just days after buying it.

I'm clearly not gonna keepa phone that won't upgrade to jelly bean...

Its a major update so you need a computer either a PC or Mac, what if you stop by a sony repair center?

You may use the unofficial way because ur phone is unlocked bootloader.

At lease your one is just that I move all 100 pictures to my memory card to save space and the album corrupts the pic and I have to delete that 100 memory!!!
