Updating phone software issue

[#1]

I have an issue regarding updating phone software.
I used SE PC companion version, 2.0 and connected my phone using desktop using USB cable.

However, I cannot update my phone.

Is there any alternative ways to update my phone?

My phone:

SE Mini Pro SK17i

Android 2.3.3

Build number:4.0.A.2.368

you have the latest software already

SEUS (sony ericsson Update Service) is far more reliable

Also, before you update or repair your phone make sure you backup your phone. Check my thread on how to do so

Don't forget to check the other Apps to backup your phone

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

Call Logs

And for call logs this is great

It's weird that PC companion saying that new phone software is available while the update center is saying that my phone has the latest software. So which one I'm supposed to follow?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion.

you can always try to re-check if there's an update

settings -> about phone -> software update

and try to check with Update Service instead of PCC
