[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aryanjain:
i want to update my x10 mini that is E10i from 1.6 to 2.1

Hey guys first of all Hi!! to all of you....

i m from india and i purchased xperia x10 mini before 2 months. As i dont have any knowledge about android os and its applications, i m not able to install any application on my phone as well as not able to update my phone's firmware.

As you guys are experienced with android os and its updates so plz help guys.....

I m giggling google from the past 20 days to update my phone but still not succeeded. I m having vista os i downloaded pc companion and update service of sony ericsson and facing these problems respectively:-

1. On vista OS:-

a) i tried pc companion first it showed me update is available but when i m clicking the next buttons then it doesn't updates and says failed after backup and restore button appear i clicked next nothing happens. I did this several times sometimes it is not showing update is available sometimes showing but in all nothing happens to me.

b) i tried update service then it simply says resolving network settings and then it says failed check out sonyercisson.com like some error message.

Note:-on vista os i disabled UAC function and turned my firewall off.

on phone i switched my phone wait for 30-45 seconds approx then i m pressing back key simultaneously and plugging usb cable in phone . so as here discussed by you guys i m not doing anything wrong(i think). computer detects it green light twinkled on my phone.

2. ON XP OS:-

a) i tried with my friends computer having XP installed. I installed Update service and it runs i think wow no i m able to update my phone but it seems like a dream in reality nothing happens. I got stucked where Update Service starts downloading showing 114.9Mb in total to download but after downloading 9Mb it says Failed due to charging of my battery but i charged my battery fully for 2hours it displays 99% in status of phone then it wont be problem.

Again i started downloading it stucked at 60Mb only near about not exactly(59.5 Mb)says same error message.

Again i charged my phone to 30 minutes and it displays 99% again i again start my procedure but again i failed. I failed 6-7 times. I frustrated.

I quitted everything.

Now i want that you guys help me in solving this issue as i m eager to see android 2.1 and live wallpapers and many functionalities which my phone is not having right now. And then i want to install ebook app like aldiko and much more as my profession is web designing marketing SEO technique.

These features are not in NOKIA n95 so i want to use it please help me ........

IMPORTANT NOTE:-

I do not want to debrand my phone or installing some generic firmwares because as sony will not give me warranty (right now i m having) Why i m doing this because Earlier I m having MOTOROLA A780 phone which is having linux os but i debranded it& installed my generic Firmware ( as i know everything) i installed many times like i did flashing and all but oneday it stucked while flashing and my phone became dead. Actually i earned some money to buy that phone so i m in deep pain again i have to wait 1 year then i am able to buy NOKIA N95 phone . Again i earned some money through my business i buy Xperia X10 mini to use android . So u guys can think if i lost or stucked somewhere might be i can loose my phone again and have to wait till i earn .

As on sonyericsson official forum many people complaining that some hardware or some software issues are there while they updated from official sony's update method. But they have warranty so no problem.

Please any of you guys who Understand my problem and frustration then please Help me out guys. I will say thank you from my heart.

Looking Forward to hear from you guy's.........................
