SW Update

hi,

i got the message today that there is a new Software available: 9.1.C.0.120

But when i try to update with SEUS or PCC, those programs cannot find any update.

Anyone of the SX-owners experienced the same?

What kind of update is it?

Tino.

i really wonder why i get this message and what kind of firmware my phone runs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bigboco:
Band?

In Docomo official manual, UTMS/HSPA band is B1/5/6/19

I googled and found band 1 is 2100MHz. Band 5 is 850MHz. Who know what band is 6 and 19?

Also, I checked Japanese website, this phone was discontinued after only 3 months of production because of insufficient processor production.

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I found the answer myself. Band 6 and 19 are all 800MHz.

3G won't work on AT&T or T-Mobile in United States. I'll keep using my ray.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ThMoJe:
Thx for the root tip and warning about no root for new firmware. I'll go for the update, and wait for root as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fhsieh:
In Japan, running new 7.0.D.1.130 docomo firmware with root. Here are the instructions, translated to English. If in doubt, please check the links at the bottom for original instructions and screenshots.

Requirements:

Flashtool 0.9.9.0

117 firmware FTF (file-join and 7zip extract)

rootkitGXSX v3.7, if you are not already rooted

rootkeeper for SO-05D

Sony Update Service or PC Companion

BACKUP AS ALWAYS.

1. If you already updated to 130 firmware, first return to 117 firmware:

Flashtool: flash 117 firmware. Lightening-bolt button > Flashmode > Select 117 FTF > UNCHECK Wipe data, CHECK No final verification > flash. Reboot.

Tip: to enter flashmode, power off phone and disconnect USB. With phone off, hold Vol Dn, and connect USB. Continue holding Vol Dn until indicator light turns on.

2. Now running 117 firmware, root your SX

Confirm you have adb, Debug mode.

rootkitGXSX v3.7: run install.bat. Choose Restore my data on phone when prompted, then allow script to reboot/continue.

Once finished, you should have Superuser. Confirm root by installing Busybox, etc.

3. Upgrade to 130 firmware while keeping root.

Confirm you have rooted 117, adb, Debug mode.

rootkeeper: run Step1.bat. This will backup su and local.prop to your computer

SUS or PC Companion: download and install official 130 firmware. Allow SUS/PCC to fully update your phone (reboot, flash, reboot).

Look in your C:\ProgramData\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs or C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and copy three FILE_********* files.

Flashtool: make 130 firmware FTF file. Tools > Decrypt files > Add the three FILE_********* files to list of Files to convert > OK > Let Flashtool decrypt the files.

When Flashtool finishes decrypting, add everything to Firmware content EXCEPT:

partition-image_S1-SW-LIVE-7054-PID1-0002-MBR.sin

simlock.ta​

Save FTF file (Device: SO-05D, Version: 7.0.D.1.130, Branding: docomo)

Flashtool: flash 117 kernel. UNCHECK/CHECK until only kernel.sin and loader.sin is listed under Firmware Content. Flash, reboot.

rootkeeper: run Step2.bat to restore su and local.prop. Reboot.

Flashtool: flash 130 kernel from your new 130 firmware FTF file. As before, flash only kernel.sin and loader.sin.

You are now running 130 firmware rooted! You can now also install CWM for your SX.

now my phone is totally docomo- and simlock-free. The bootup-sequence and theme looks like this one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OW9FUMYZ9Y (starting at 8:20 min).

But i can't update my SX! I am still getting this weird update-notification, though:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35263690&postcount=56

so now i am thinking about flashing the original docomo-FTF and update to .130-firmware via SEUS or PCC.

But will it still be simlock-free afterwards? And how to remove all the docomo-branding again? After flashing the docomo-FTF the phone will look like this one, right?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsUYR73r4xM (starting at 2:15 min)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] td101:
thanks for the offer but i got the .117-FTF from the link above so i could flash this first and then update via SEUS or PCC to .130.

But what i worry most is how i could get my phone docomo-free again. i like it how it looks like now. i think i could simply replace the bootanimation.zip and maybe the home.apk. then it should look like before the update, shouldn't it?

do you have the same SI-number like me? mine has 1267-2266
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pakman123:
you have a option to pick docomo or xperia style on first boot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] td101:
ah, i didn't know this!

Then, if it is not too much to ask for, could you create the .130-FTF and upload it somewhere for me? That'd be great!

Could you also pls post your CDF-number? I want to try this one, too:

Thx, for the instructions. Roots perfectly, but unfortunately I get stuck at...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] td101:
thanks a lot!

i downloaded it yesterday.

i don't know what ROM my phone was running before, but surely not original docomo.

after some unsuccessful tryouts to keep root i did this:

- flash .117-ftf with flashtool. NOT wiping data

- install root again

- step1 rootkeeper

- flash .130-ftf with flashtool. NOT wiping data

- then i followed the instructions from the post earlier.

PCC and SEUS do not let me update.

i did some googleling and it seems i got a "brown phone" (prototype) which can only updated by SEUS Pro or EMMA. And i guess that's why i got the message for that 9.1-update. It's probably ment only for professionals or sony-employees.

however, after successful updating to .130 i got the message that there is update to .131 via OTA.

i downloaded it and phone rebooted to install but it cancelled after 25% (1 of 4 dots). After powering on again i got the message that the update failed.

did anybody install this update already? any way i could get it on my phone?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

i found the OTA-file in /cache/recovery/fota

name is download-package.bin, size 2,38 MB

any idea how to flash this to my phone? convert to FTF?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] td101:
i had already downloaded and installed SEUS pro and EMMA.

I also signed up for SEUS pro but from what i read in other websites it would be very unlikely that sony will grant me access to the pro-network (i didnt sign up for EMMA yet, but i read that the credentials would be the same. just for EMMA they are asking for more personal information).

so far i just received a confirmation email. Approval, if any, should arrive within a few working days. I dont know how but obviously they check whether i belong somehow to the "mobile phone business". or are a sony-employee.

so i dont have much hope to get access granted:(

No, because Japanese carrier sucks so getting software updating is hard. And even if it could, it takes so long time though.

I've noticed my phone is set to Bootloader:NO, could that be the problem? If so does anyone know how to get it set to Yes? I think I might need to contact Docomo for that which would be difficult since I'm in the uk.

You must be sure that the driver are instal on your PC, before flashmode with holding down-volume button. Install "Update service" from Sony and do an firmware update with the hold button. after that you know that the driver are OK.

you are right about the price but i'm going to China for business and there is definitly cheaper than in europe!

about the mid-range i partially disagree.. it depends on which variables you measures to evaluate the phone: actually i don't think a 4,7'' screen is a plus, neither a phone weight higher than 130g.. and a quad core in a phone?? come on! neither my macbook air has it :) and it works great!!

the sx has a good (maybe old) cpu, is light, small, maybe the screen is a bit small but with great resolution, and a good camera.. it lacks for a goof battery but still i can't fina a better phone (for me)!

Xperia SX is the Anti-Phablet

I have been happily using the Sony SO-05D Xperia SX in the USA on AT&T for a couple months now. I work in the biz, I see a lot of phones and I have yet to find another Android that is smaller, lighter AND faster than the iPhone 5. I gave up an LG Optimus G for the SX. It seems like all the best phones these days have giant 4" - 5" displays and weigh over 130 g. The SX at just 95 g will comfortably hang from a lanyard yet it's just as powerful as the big boys. The Snapdragon MSM 8960 is the same processor found in the LTE Galaxy S3 and many other top-tier phones in the US. I have literally left the house without my Xperia because I mistakenly thought it was in my pocket. It's so good, it's bad.

Sadly, using a Docomo phone in the US has it's drawbacks. HSPA works but LTE does not work at all even though the phone should support AT&T's 2100 LTE frequency. When I activate WiFi tethering, I only get an error ("Network error occurred"). I also have not found a way to send or receive MMS. When people send me MMS, I never receive the message and they never get an error. If I move my SIM to a genuine AT&T phone with the same APN settings, all these features work so I have LTE, tethering and MMS on my plan. Here's a thread on the topic over at Sony's forum: http :// talk.sonymobile.com/thread/64295

The FM Radio works in the US and displays RDS but the sound has an odd crackle in it so I never use it.

The XS has a lanyard pin and I really do use it. You don't find many phones with lanyard pins any more, but I comfortably wear the SX around my neck while skiing or riding a motorcycle.

I think every Sony phone has a lanyard pin, even the Xperia Z still has one.
