Make sure you follow the instructions carefully as follows:

1. Download and install Sony Ericsson PC COMPANION and Sony Ericsson UPDATE service individually. ( Go to Sonyesricsson.com.support and select the make and model of your phone)

2. Make sure you have created a backup of all important information you wish to restore them for any reason. NOTE: Photos and songs are stored in the memory card, thus no need to back it up but is still recommended you keep a copy of it in your PC.

3. After doing the backup. Run update service on your system make sure the internet is up and running before you run the update.

This step is divided into a checklist which needs to be considered before you begin.

a. Check that you have the USB cable for the phone.

> Hit UPDATE/INSTALL to proceed, by this time the update service would start downloading the software 161 MB in size to be exact. The process may take several depending on your internet connection.

7. After the download is done, the new Operating system should be installed on your phone. NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE PHONE REMAINS CONNECTED IN THE SYSTEM. The process may take several minutes.

8. If the software has been installed. You should get a message saying " YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN UPDATED SUCCESSFULLY'. Just exit out on the update service screen. Make sure you disconnect the USB cable and switch  the phone on.
