P900 Firmware Upgrade Here!!!

[BVH]

It all worked flawlessly - The PC Client install and the launch of the update process.... until the final click - I got the message "The server is busy". I'll keep tying during the day.

I'll post the 4 newest version numbers when and if i get thru

damn BVH you beat me to the post by like half a second!

Anyway try the firmware update site here:

I went the manual update route on the site and it looks like its only updating the organizer firmware.

It asks you to enter your CDA #, and it reported that my Organizer version is up to date (R1A05).

Dundan, did you actually get thru a flash? I still get "The server is busy"

I went ahead and installed the seus_setup111.exe file. After opening the Sony Ericsson Update Service program (version 1.00?) I tried a force update eventhough the AUTOMATIC update said I had the latest firmware. The program turned on and off my phone but then I noticed that the sync cradle light was not lit. The status bar said that it required 20 minutes for the software to download and update WTF? Then halfway through the update, this error message came up:

"The application reported an undefined error
Please try again. If this problem persists please contact support. "

My phone is still working in its original state:
R3A024
R5D
R1A05
R2A01

I've gotten as far as downloading 48% of the firmware program then got a server communications error. I think they may be taking it on and off line/testing, etc. There are lots of warnings about doing a backup before updating and to definitely NOT interact with the unit at all until the process is over. My phone started fine after the server communications error stopped the process. Probably because the update process had not actually started. One of the messages says that a full restore will restore all your settings, contacts etc after the new flash. I remember with the P800, some people lost the new firmware when a full restore was done after a new flash.

No they didn't - they just thought they had because their backup overwrote the CDA number back to the previous one.


But considering that the CDA number is simply pulled from a text file which you yourself can alter to say whatever you want, no actual firmware change occurred.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOPEEEEEE!!!!! Just under 15 mins and I am updated. SE says a RESTORE is ok so I'll give it a whirl. Just wanted to report that it did work!

[dundan]

Can you post your revision numbers before and after?

[Bengalboy]

Great Larry!!! Good news to hear!! Gonna update this evening...

[oferlaor]

any ideas if it will erase all the data on the phone?

[Genghis Khent]

I just tried where I don't have the SynchStation though I do have a data cable. The update software required the SynchStation. So I will have to wait until tonight so see what happens.

[LarryH]

Before the flash I believe I had CDA162003/3 R1A04

now I have CDA162003/3 R2A10

I failed to check the other rev #s.

How long do I see this screen for? Been a few minutes...


Please wait...
