X10 mini pro firmware update

Hooked my phone to the PC the other day, it said an update was available and suggested I loaded it up. No warnings, nothing. But after the update my phone was reset and everything wiped away. Terrible.
 
You are told you should do a backup, and there's the option to do a full restore (clear) and install which will definitely clear the phone. This option wasn't there a while ago and should solve my problem where I can't patch because I rooted and deleted some apps.

I'm now in the process of backing up the apps, data, settings and icon locations - but it's a shame you can't back up widget settings as that means having to do that all over again.
 
just checked and my phone says it has an update that needs to be updated from the PC...
nothing on the website.
but when i connected w the PC companion, it did confirm the update availability.
any word from SE what this update will do?and what it's for?
is this like flashing where there's the possibility of bricking your phone?
any help will be appreciated.
thanks!
noob here...Hi everyone! :D
 
for rooted x1o mini pro.. no update. i tried to update "over the air" after download it's done it's rebooting then it tells you that update failed...
 
i had got d update notification..but i restarted d X10 mini pro dude to sum reason..n d notification is gone..i tried searching using User support..but its showing No update available..what shall i do..i tried through Pc comp but its written ur phone is up to date..please help..i want the update..
 
There are no major updates ie 2.1 about at the moment so I wouldn't panic too much. It may have been some minor tweak but if SEUS and PCCompanion are saying you are up to date there is nothing more you can do.
 
The update you guys are talking about is a minor one that fixed 2 major things about the battery charging and alarm clock and it is not 2.1.

To those x10 mini users that updated their phones, is your phone charging now while it is turn off and is there a big recharging logo with a lightning sign in the middle?

If you guys remember, when you try and charge the phone when it is turn off, it switches on automatically and it will charge that way making it inefficient, but the update fixed it and now allows the x10 mini to charge when it is turn off. Also alarm clock works now when phone is turn off
 
I never did get the 1.2 update.. I wondered if it was a carrier thing - maybe only certain networks have the update? I've tried 3, Orange, and T-Mobile SIMs, and none of them register an update. :(

With 2.1 around the corner, I'm getting a bit worried. Has anyone managed to update to 1.2, in the UK, on a PAYG SIM, using a SIM-free X10 Mini Pro?
 
I got the upgrade notification on monday morning, around 1:30AM. but.... the upgrade notification was not for the long expected 2.1 upgrade, but the minor update on 1.6. However it made me curious enough to take the shortcut and force it into 'Norway-version' after rooting, upgraded to 2.1 , rooted again to correct my keyboard layout to azerty.
Had to re-install a bunch of applications, but so far do not regret the upgrade...
 
Got 2.1 - update 1
today here in Norway.
Lost a lot of phone numbers even after backing it up and lost some software also (yes even the ones downloaded thru android market).
Also lost a few txt messages that came in during backup restore. Arrrgh
Not sure I like it yet.
Now I have to unlock it with a simple pattern (not the usual pattern lock). Before I could just push the left button a couple of times and liked that much more.
Some small nice upgrades but cant see any big difference yet.

hi! im here in Saudi Arabia. how will i know if i could update to 2.1 already? do i just plug in my phone while the PC companion is open then it'll say that an update is ready?

up to now, when i connect my phone, PC companion still says that my phone is up to date. thank you very much!
 
pepy_24: yes, it is possibel to upgrade a rooted mini pro. I have a mini pro (in Belgium) which was rooted on 1.6; upgraded to 2.1 it by tricking it into 'nordic' version, and rooted again in order to fix the keyboard layout.
 
Hi,

Need to update my GF's Mini pro (still on 1.6) can someone explain to me how I update this as it's not as simple as my own Android device.

What I gotta do exactly folkes?

Thanks
 
If the update has been released in your location/carrier then download Sony Ericsson Update Service

Sony Ericsson - Support - Phones - Topic - Updateserviceapplication - Xperia? X10

And follow the on screen instructions. Ensure that you have made a back up of her contacts as the upgrade will wipe the phone. The old version of Backup and Restore which she may have on her phone already is not compatible with 2.1 so you need to download the new version. It should prompt you to do this when you start the update.

I personally didn't bother with it as I use Google to sync my contacts and Appbrain to save my app list and that was all I was really worried about.
