Problem with Updating Sony Xperia U

[sbakhour]

Dear Sony Team,

I got a message Update from Sony that the latest Android Software is ready to be updated on my device and that I need to use the PC to update. I installed the Sony PC Companion on my pc having a windows 7 & everytime I update , the software downloads all & when it reach the step checking Phone , my mobile Shuts Down .

I tried this several times & it is always with the same problem I even tried to uninstall and re-install back the Sony PC companion , thought that the problem is with the sotware but always with no Luck .

Can anyone here help me please I really need that ICS on my Xperia U Device !

In case you faced this problem before, I appreciate if you can also mail me the solution to get out of that problem: my email is wassas@msn.com

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

I had the same problem and ended up using the solution in the following link.

This is what you need

Update Service (SUS)

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software%20Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe

It worked for me

The new update is not, I think, for ICS but simply a firmware update for network hangup problems.

good luck

Hi Will9342,

In fact, this couldn't Help me at all the links are not downloading , plus my main issue is that I need to have ICS on my Mobile.

Any other solution or idea how to do that ?

Sorry for the inconvenience, but really the Links are not downloading , try them. Plus the post on the following Link: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/263523#263523

   is not resolving the issue that I am having , the problem is not that I am not able to install components, my issue is that when I reach the step of "Checking Phone" my mobile Shuts Down during the checking.

Regards,

Sami
