Check out the post I just wrote about my experience with Sony Ericsson failed update and how i managed to recover from it here:

Your post here is great. It was what gave me courage to try again and again after failed update until I found a solution to my problem.

Thanks a lot

I have upgraded my Z550i coz it had some battery problems.

Now, the battery problems have been rectified but my sound quality of the phone has been degraded.
It doesn’t sound like an iPod anymore.
The volume has been decreased considerably.

Please, help me……….

Dear Sir,

I had logged a query regarding the problem faced by me on 16-09-2007 with Sony Ericsson, however I have not received any feedback from Sony Ericsson till date and am very worried about my phone. I have been hunting the internet for solution and have chanced upon your site.

The problem I am facing is as under:
When I try to update my phone to the latest upgrade on the Sony Ericsson Update site, the phone receives updates a little more than 98% and then shows an update error asking me to disconnect the phone and try again. Inspite of repeated efforts I am facing the same problem.
I reinstalled the Sony Ericsson Update program on my computer, and I even used the master rest on the phone to restore it to the original factory setting before trying the update but after all efforts the phone only updates to that same point of 98% and then shows update error and stops.

After my efforts to upgrade,my P990i phone is showing 2 firmware versions which read as under:

Phone:CXC162037 R9F011
R9GA001
PRGCXC162037_CCPU_HE_LL_NI (followed by four squares)

Bluetooth:CXC162058 R5A01

Organiser:CXC162036 R5A17
CXC162036 R6E28

CDA:CDA162007/2 R5A13
CDA162007/2 R6E28

When I had previously updated from the Sony Ericsson site everything went well and I had no problems. However this time the experience has really scared me. I don’t think I will ever try and upgrade again.

Please tell me how I can get my phone to upgrade properly to the latest firmware and get rid of two firmware versions with the correct latest one.

I opted for the P990i as was I was very happy with the service given to me by my previous Sony Ericsson phone

Please help me out. Please tell me what is wrong and what is the remedy.
PLEASE.

Awaiting anxiously for your reply.

Hi,

I bought K750 i on jun-06 , it was working fine upto last month. I dropped it in water last month. I switched off the mobile and kept for 3 days to dry it off. And from 4 th day it wrks fine. 15 days after i found a problem with the display and it got corrected as it is. After that i charged it with the sony adapter, on the same time a call came , which made my phone to switch off. I gave it to sony service center to correct it but heard back from them that mother board got short circuit, replacement of the same will take 60% of the mobile cost. since warranty period got over by 1 month its better to buy a new mobile , instead of repairing it.

i enquired all and got the same reply to replace new mobile , is it the only way now?
Please let me know if there are any chance to repair it with minimum cost.

One month ago I bought a Sony Ericsson K750i here in Bangladesh and I tried to update the software using SEUS. I followed the process but in the middle of updating, the process suddenly stopped. The updating bars were not progressing. Then I restarted my pc. and tried to power on my mobile. But the mobile was totally dead! I pressed the power button for several times but it didn’t work. Then I go to the service center of Sony Ericsson here in Bangladesh. They installed the software again. But the sotware they installed I think its a older version (RAA008). and I’ve found in the internet that newer versions then this version are available. I went to the service centre again but they don’t recommend to update.

I want to try to update the software again but I’m afraid of the same problem which I mentioned above. By the way, I’ve forgot the version of the software which came with my mobile before taking it to the service centre. I can mention here one thing.. at that time the unit of the memory was showed in MB. But after taking it to the service centre the memory is showed in KB.

Should I try again to update the software? If the phone again goes dead what should I do then?

Hello,

Do anyone here have tried updating your phone with the new Sony Ericsson update service software 2.7.6.8-1 if so please put back your comments / feedback.

My current version for K750i is R1DB001 which I guess is the latest version as of now.

Today I am going to try updating my phone with the latest released update software version 2.7.6.8-1. I will be going to put back my experience here as I update my phone.
