Hello guys,
After a long time, Rogers Wireless has released the latest update for Android 2.1 out for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mobile phones. I found that the update was available last night but just I had time to update this morning. However I face with a problem: it said that I am running the Sony Ericsson PC Companion software to upgrade, but I’m getting an error.
Firstly, I assumed that I need to restart my Pc because I’ve downloaded the latest version of PC Companion at the time I plugged in the X10. I’m aware about the issue to install drivers for those phone helper applications that should ask your system to restart so they could be registered. But it did not happened with this update. So I tested three times using several conditions–first phone on, then computer restarted and then phone off. But similar error message generates:
Unable to install or start phone software update
components.
I also attempt to re-run PC Companion using an administrator account to see if that is responding. Bad luck, Sony Ericsson does not allow me to do QA work for them.
Somebody here who can help me for this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Ms. Trienity,
Here is an download that should help you I am not sure which version computer you have so I will provide you with both. Here is a link that will provide you with the website to install:

-
Once back up is finish ensure your device is connected to PC and you have internet connection.
a. Locate your USB cable you will need for your cellphone.
b. May sure you have 50% charge on cellphone.
c. Note the screen above will be the screen that should appear.

For 30 seconds switch phone to off mode.

The Back key on cellphone needs to be press and held down.

If you get message stating you have new updates go ahead and update.

Now the cellphone will have to reboot and this may take place over a long period of time, but that's ok.
Note: Cellphone may be a little slow at first that's fine you just did some major changes to the hardware it has to get use to the change. You can assist with this change by working with the cellphone to help it get back to its normal speed.
