Help updating software help

The phones software update does not work. I want to update to android 2.2 is there a way I can update my phone without a computer ?

Hi,

1) SONY Ericsson Official update stopped at 2.1.1 There are no more updates from SONY Ericsson to 2.2

2) 2.2 ROM for Xperia X8 are custom ROMs. You must have a PC to install 2.2 custom ROMs.

check out "X8 - All Things Root" for more information.

cheers :)

hi guys..
trying to repair my phone thru SE update service, it says ur phone already has new software.... there is no option for reinstall or repair.. it just shows finished n exit only..

tried with pc companion, it says no software available yet.. pls help..
im running on gingerfroyo v1.4.16 ..

pls help me..

Hi,

There are no updates for custom roms
and you cannot update custom roms using pc companion.
you can only update a custom rom if there is a new custom rom posted by the developer... e.g racht's Floyo-0.15--> upgraded to --> Floyo-0.20

If you want to go back to the official SONY Ericsson's 2.1.1
then...

you can use xRecovery to flash your original rom backup
OR
switch off your phone
launch pc companion on your PC
plug in your USB cable to your phone
hold the back button and plug in your USB to your PC
the repair process should start...

cheers :)

Hi,

Ok. If you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS then try flashing the original ROM back to your phone.

Follow this link here

Make sure you get the correct original rom... (E15a 2.1.1 or E15i 2.1.1)

cheers :)
