  • Puedo hacer esto con una version de Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 mini de movilnet en Venezuela? Gracias, espero su respuesta

  • @alfredomoralesw580 Hi Alfredo, if possible post back in English for further support. I'm not sure if this update will be available for your phone. The only way to know for sure would be for you to try to update your phone to see if that option is available to you. -Josh

  • I have a problem I conect my xperia x10 mini, when pc companion appears it says that I have the latest software, but nothing has changed, so could you please tell me what's wrong with my phone? thank you.

  • @Mrbgatooo What android version do you have on your phone? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport If you refer to the firmware version it's 1.6

  • @Mrbgatooo That means that 2.1 is not available for the particular phone that you have, maybe it was not made available to either the region or provider from where you purchased the phone from. -Josh

  • hello josh' can you please tell me how can i upgrade my xperia x10 mini pro android 2.1 to android 2.3 gingerbread??? If you know how please tell me..thank you

  • @suzan101shrextha The last update available for the X10 mini pro is android 2.1. So it is not possible to update this phone to android 2.3 -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport but i saw on the some videos of youtube that some people got this device with android 2.3...that why i m asking you.....thanks

  • @suzan101shrextha The ones you saw all people who rooted the phone and installed a custom rom to the phone. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport ohh i got it now thanx for your advice..;)

  • @suzan101shrextha You are welcome :) -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport Hello Josh, I have been trying to install the android 2.1 update but It seems like I can't. I have been following all the instruction up to right after the back-up. After the back-up process and actually trying to install the software I get an error message saying that the installation can't start or some parts of the software can't be installed. What do I do? m already sure there is nothing wrong with my internet-connection and I do have the latest version of PC companion.

  • @Kpopforever1302 The most common solution for that error is to install/update Java on your computer. -Josh

  • My usb isn't recognised by my netbook or any other pc I tried it. This means that I cannot complete the steps. So I have 2 questions:

    A. Is this the usb's fault, or mobiles?

    B. If it is the usb's, where can I replace it? or "Can I?"

  • @KonstantinosRoubas Does your phone charge properly? And when you connect your phone to computer does it charge? In the case that the USB port is defective I'd suggest to contact your local Sony Ericsson service center for a possible repair option. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport Yes. Yes it does charge via my laptop. Although sometimes my laptop charges via my phone -.-. Can't I just replace the usb and buy a new one or it will have the same effects on my phone?

  • @KonstantinosRoubas If the phone is sent to our service center I'm sure it would be fixed (in the case the USB port is indeed defective) so that you don't have this issue anymore . Try to contact your local Sony support center for instructions on what to do to get the phone evaluated. -Josh

  • Is there anyway to to upgrade Xperia Mini Pro to 2.3 Gingerbread?

  • @actionsfurysroar No, last update for this model was android 2.1 -Josh

  • i've bought this phone and i don't know how to move app to sd card

    please help me

  • @MultiPrdez It is not possible to move apps to the SD card on this phone since the option to move apps to the SD is available on android 2.2 and later versions. -Josh

  • I was wondering if the 2.1 update is restricted for some countries (like some Latin America countries, I.E.), if so, is there another way of updating the phone that's NOT using a non-official OS provider? I'd appreciate your answer, and thanks a lot.

  • @SchattenDpg That update was made available to many countries, however it is not available on some regions. And if PC Companion doesn't give you the option to install it on your phone then there is no other way. -Josh

  • @aonyericssonsupport What service provider and what sim card is needed to activate it?

  • @dmaihiot If you buy the phone unlocked you could use any service provider to activate it with. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport I have one more question for you Josh: If you upgrade your x10 mini from Android 1.6 to 2.1,does your music player then supports Shuffle and Repeat function and are the camera settings moved from Settings menu to your Camera application ?

    Also heard that 1.6 Android doesn't support Bluetooth sending and receiving files.Every last gen phone supports that...

    Are these 3 things fixed in 2.1 ?

  • @GamerPro2236 I'm not sure honestly if the player has such functions after the update, however you can download a player from the market that has this option. I don't have that phone available at the moment so I'll answer your second question a bit later. And that is correct, on 1.6 the Bluetooth functionality are limited however this is not the case once you update to 2.1. On 2.1 you can both send and receive files via Bluetooth. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport why is it necessary to log in to my google account... can i do without it?

  • @MAKClayyD0gg You could choose not to log in to a Google account, however there are certain stuff that you can't do without it. For example you can't use the Market if you don't have a Google account added to the phone. -Josh

  • Guys,you should make a new update for the x10 mini.At least 2.3.5!

  • please make 2.2 or higher for X10 mini pro !!

  • PC Companion says that I already have the latest version, but nothing in my phone has changed. I'm getting pretty sick of this by know, Ericsson...

  • @Grooverfc just use WIFI and the firmware updater in the phone :)

  • @xXE4GLEyEXx Guess that I'm a bit horrible at this as well, but where can I find the Firmware updater?

  • OMG!!! I follow every single step on my mini pro and there is no way to update 2.1 Im soooo disapointed . Is there other way to update to not be stock in the 1.6 ugh!!

  • Great video thanks for upload :)

  • the pop-up at 1:07 doesnt show on my phone, when i try to connect?

  • Great, thanx!

  • hem. sorry, but how i can change the sms ringtone?? note notification but SMS

  • This is sad that Sony Ericsson is not giving any more updates,

    They have awesome phones but they self destruct themselves.

    I know the processor is not enough for further versions but its would be awesome if there is an optional update to higher versions. There are still some illegal methods which can install higher versions and phone works good.

    So please just an optional update, we lose a lot by not having 2.2 (Apps2SD)

  • Comment removed

  • this whole tutorial is so misleading, i manage to go through the steps by watching tutorials from other users instead. work it up sony.

  • when I try to upgrade my xperia x10 mini in the step number 2 it says NSIS Error Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid and then the upgrade stop and close

  • Damn i follow each and one of the steps it get stuck at step 2 and i keep pressing the back button but nothing happen it wont proceed to update the phone -.-

  • wtf this is bullshit i did everything an my inernet connection is great also i downloaded everything u need and its been 20 minis an the update thing hasnt even moved on page 3 wtf shud do ?

  • Whenever i try to update, i get the error below

    "An error has occured and the phone update was aborted.

    Click Retry to restart the phone software update."

    Any idea?

  • @DDomero You could try downloading the latest version of PC Companion or you could try doing the update on a different computer. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport i did, but it still didn't work. infact it actually damaged my OS. now my wifi is not working :(

  • can i uppdate it to 2.3 or 3.0

  • @raaaaaaaaaaaaul There are no further updates for this phone past android 2.1 -Josh

  • @raaaaaaaaaaaaul yes you can! :D try xda developers......i had mini cm7 and it was really good!try it

    its difficult and complicated....but go to xda developers and look for mini cm7! i am back again to 2.1 cause of battery isue!

  • @SoraCaelum you have just solved the problem for me, thank you

  • I saw xperia x10 mini pro specs on gsmarena , it upgradable to 2.3 , failed ?

  • Do you think upgrading to Android 2.1 will solve the "battery won't charge" problem that some of the X10 Mini pro devices have?

  • Hi Guys,

    i cant get to step 3 when i re-connect the cable while holding the back key nothing

    happens. exactly what should i see. PLEASE HELP

  • sonyericssonDOTcom/backup does not seem to exist????? HELP

  • i just can get the android 2.0??????????

  • Comment removed

  • Cant update...I have android 1.6 when I plug the phone it says its on the lastest firmware.... -.- need help

  • @TheRawlydude Are you using the latest version of the PC Companion? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport Yeah is not working for me either and I am using the latest version how ever my firmware is 1.6 when trying to update the PC Companion states i have the latest software... so frustrating and disapointing... :(

  • @sonyericssonsupport Yes I am, I updated it, and tried nothing happened then, unnistalled and reinstalled again(deleted all the SE folder in my pc too) tried to update it said it was on the lastest firmware T-T

  • doesen`t works at mac.... BAD THING!!!!

  • fucking joke

  • @sonyericssonsupport im trying to update my x10 mini pro, i do the bit where u turn the phone off plug it back in and hold the back key, THEN NOTHING HAPPENS AFTER THAT! help please its driving me crazy

  • @sammyjay100 Just to confirm, did you download the most recent version of the PC Companion? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport everytime i click next, which is to prepare the phone, i get the following message."Unable to install or start phone software update components." is there somthing that i'm doing wrong?

  • Ok guys, if you're stuck at step 2 (prepare step), at the end, like I was - you have to hold your back key THEN plug the usb cable in, and just keep holding back button until it starts updating (you can see if started on computer screen, phone is still turned off), then release back button...

    Thumbs up so others can see.

  • Update does not solve the incoming call voice problem, its still horribly low. In my opinion, the phone is completely worthless for making any calls.

  • WTF Sony Ericsson? All this shit just to upgrade? Couldn't there be just some app that you just click, it searchs for upgrades, and then just fucking upgrades by itself? Was that so difficult?

  • When doing the last part of step 2, my usb disconnected and the entire update failed. now my phone is stuck with an error icon whenever i turn it on and i cant use it... help

  • @sonyericssonsupport i need to wait a long time to update it.. could you give me the reason?

  • @neindra Just to clarify. Do you mean to ask why there is no new update or that you are having problems updating your phone? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport I cannot find any upgrade but only repair

  • @sonyericssonsupport I notified to update my phone.. but when i tried it took a long time

  • on pc company it says that its a update and i have already updatet my phone but it says that its a update ready, OLD ONE 2.0.A.0.504 NEW VERSJON 2.1.1.A.0.6. why cant i update???? pleas replay!??

  • @skylineboy20000 The latest update available for the X10 mini/pro is android 2.1. So if you want to make sure what version you have check the "Android Version" under "About Phone" in settings. -Josh

  • @blackhole181 No it doesn't. Maybe for you, but this is a faulty program which SE has not fixed properly and therefore letting some customers down as they have to use non-sony solutions to update their phone.

    I have a X10 Mini Pro, and at step 3 (Updating) it does nothing, even if i follow the steps multiple times to make sure I didn't mess up.

    Also tried the Update Manager, which is far worse as it doesn't even recognize me following the steps and therefore stopping at step 2.

  • very nice video it work very well on my phone

    can i put the 2.2 version on my phone?? please reply

    when will sony ericsson do update to 2.2 for x10 mini?? please reply

  • @nks15a There are no plans to update the X10 mini or the pro to a later android version past the 2.1 -Josh

  • In step 2 you must turn off mobile. Do i have to turn on mobile or let it off and connect with usb and hold back button ?

  • @lada154

  • i cant update !!! i try the back key - holding it for 50 mins and still nothing happening

  • When I'm on step 3, it doesn't seem to go anywhere. It says it's dependant on my connection, I've been waiting for 40 mins on 15mb download. What could be wrong ?

  • @TheDirtyforeigner Did you try this more than once? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport I have tried it multiple times.....then I realised that android 2.1 was already pre-installed. Thanks for the help and reply anyway.

  • When I'm trying to upgrade I get an error message that says that some files couldn't be installed/started? What can be causing this, SE?

  • @rivalnightmare What software are you using, the PC Companion or the Update Service? -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport PC Companion. Should I try the Update Service instead?

  • @rivalnightmare Hi, yes, if you are having a problem using PC Companion, yes, you should try the Update Service. -Annie

  • @sonyericssonsupport Okay. thanks

  • Will the X10 mini be upgraded to 2.2?

  • @ManWithThePlasticGun No, The X10 mini will not be upgraded beyond the 2.1 version. -Annie

  • @9414492012 Really nice that you got it working, hope you enjoy your phone a lot more now :) -Josh

  • when I get to step 2, it just hangs there. turn off your phone and wait 5 seconds and turn it back on and plug in the cable to computere and mobile, press the back button and hold it down while you press the USB cable and so on. I have done that but that just hangs on step 2. Help plz.

  • wttfff!!! its still stuck on step 2 for a hour wat a pistake!

  • WE WANT ANDROID 2.2 FOR X10 MINI/PRO and X8 ..GOT IT!!!!!!!!

  • phone is keep on saying ,insert the memory card...but asshole!!i already have inserted it.

  • phone is keep on saying ,insert the memory card...but asshole!!i already have inserted it.

  • The fact that mac users still can't update their phones makes me not feel sorry for Sony for being hacked.

  • WTH!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU SKIP STEP 2 SHOW MAKE A NEW VIDEO!!!!!!

  • is the downloading at step 3 update is very slow ? or isit mine has a problem ? i need help . :(

  • @farahteo as the instruction told....

    "keep in mind that the duration of the update process depends on the speed of your internet connection "

  •  I got two questions!!

    1. Are the Sony Ericsson xperia family going to get one android 2.3 Gingerbread update??

    2. I have heard that it is just the Sony Ericsson xperia X10 that is going to update to android 2.3 Gingerbread is it so??

    I got a Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro and I also want androd 2.3 Gingerbread on it!!

    Please Answer!!! =)

  • @TheSmureify

    Yes, the X10 will get the 2.3 Android OS, there is a post on the Sony Ericsson blog about that. The info we have so far is that the X10 is the one getting this update we have no info if that will include the Mini/Pro./X8. -Josh

  • @sonyericssonsupport If you know that the xperia family going to get the android 2.3 update please answer me!!!

  • @TheSmureify At this point we know that the X10 will get it but no info if the Mini/Pro/X8 will get it too. -Josh

  • the process stopped at step 2?? yup thts strue, i still cant upgrade my X10 mini. should i go to service center?? :/

  • @lydiacarnova If you are using the PC Companion to upgrade there is two different things that you could try to do, one is try the process on a drifferent computer or two instead of the PC Companion use the Sony Ericsson Update Service. You could also get that from the Sony Ericsson website. -Josh

  • Do you need to back up and restore if you just bought the phone and dont have anything on it?

  • i have a problem, that is in the step of ´´preparing in pc companion´´ it says that is impossible to update the components of the phone,, why ??

  • is there any way to upgrade android 2.1 with a mac?

  • @Yrevan01 We don't have a software that is compatible with Mac computers, only with windows. -Josh

  • "imposible instalar o iniciar los componentes de actualizacion del software del telefono"

    ¬_¬`

  • @batucle tengo tu mismo problema,, yo ya hice todo lo del back up pero en el momento de la preparacion me sale ese mismo letrero,, entonces era para ver si sabes por que pasa ??

  • @MrDeathnote117

    mmmm, se me paso el tiempo ajajajaja, perdón por no responder pero hace mucho no me logeo, el problema ya lo solucioné y espero que vos tambien, hay que hacerlo si o si con el SEUS de Sony, con el PC Companion siempre tira el error por mas que la actualizacion este diponible. Suerte!

  • Like a SOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEE! Fuck u bic! i cant update! will not stop! i wont stop! in step 3 they said check ur internet when i alr connect it! then i reinstall pc companion n they said on step 3 they said no update available! fuck u bic! u very cheap asshole!

  • When I'm going to update my phone with the PC Companion, it starts and prepares my computer. But after it's prepared, i have to do certain steps. With these steps I have to prepare my phone for the update. But when I did it, it doesn't succeed to the next step.

  • @LaLaLikeYa I'm in exactly the same boat - it's the bit in the video where it says 'for time's sake we'll skip this step'!!!

  • I have the X10 mini pro - worst phone I have ever had. After several days of trying to get this stupid upgrade to work, had success and I'm now left with a phone with even more issues than I had before. Hate, hate, hate this stupid phone.

  • YOU HAVE TO PRESS ENTER WHEN YOU FINISHED PREPARING UR PHONE IN STEP 2 TO CONTINUE. PLEASE TELL US TO DO SO NEXT TIME.

  • @SoraCaelum Nope.. It just SKIPS to the next step.. i did exactly like the guide old to do, kept pressing the Back key for like half an HOUR... nothing happened.. so i pressed Enter and it skipped to the "update process" bar - BUT... nothing happened. so i noticed that you can press Enter key ANY time and it will just SKIP to the next step!! :D

    You can update your phone like a million times, just press Enter key million times.

    I have Xperia Arc. Trying to update 3.0 version to 4.0

    Not working

  • @SoraCaelum Thank you! I have spent 3 days trying to find out how to pass from step 2 to 3 and it was as easy as pressing enter!

  • @SoraCaelum Oh. my. god, dude. I cant fucking TELL YOU how GRATEFUL i am for your comment. I was on the edge of throwing my phoneo ut of the damn window.

  • where is the arabic language support ???? the new x8 have it already...

  • this is an urgent question. when I install the Android 2.1 will ask me the key of google? why not agree to me.

  • @XxxKinetypicXxx What do you mean that it asks you for a "google key"? -Josh

  • why the hell are many complaining...its so damn easy...

  • i gott it to work:) when you have innstaled pc companion you just need to restart the computer and then follow the steps in pc companion... its easy tray it:)

  • i cant upgrade my phone to 2.1, what can i do? that shit to press back and plug usb makes me scream!!!
