how to upgrade sony ericsson phones step by step method

on your own risk

So, what are firmware upgrades?
Well,
the firmware of a Sony Ericsson phone is the software that is present
in its FLASH BIOS [That’s basically a programmable Basic Input Output
System] of the phone. IOW, its soul, if you’d consider the hardware its
body! The firmware is responsible for the slick interface that you look
- the User Interface, the handling of the joystick and keypads etc.So,
basically if your phone firmware is good, your phone works well. And if
it sucks, well, you get the jitters every time you use your phone!
Please
note: I will be talking about the upgrade of the Sony Ericsson K750i
firmware from now on! Although the process is the same that you need to
follow for other models of Sony Ericsson, please do refer more into the
net for your particular model’s intricacies in the update process!
For
the record, I got my phone with the R1J002 firmware [released on
13-06-2005]. My current firmware - R1BC002 [released on 09-03-2006].
Overall, I have upgraded my firmware 3 times. And the only time I have
had trouble with the upgrading process is my last time! However, it
wasn’t my fault that my phone’s mainboard decided to act weird just at
that time :-D!
So, what are the steps needed to upgrade your phone?
Well, first of all - Read!! You need to be able to follow my
instructions and before that be able to actually tell that you need a
firmware upgrade really! Although I manage to upgrade my phone EVERY
time there is a firmware upgrade release, I would ask you to go for the
upgrade if and only if you really feel that the upgrade is worth it!
Before any upgrade, first check your current situation - Are you having
any troubles with your phone?
For e.g. are you having trouble with
the USB transfer? Then, most probably you are running the R1N035(A)
version of the phone firmware [talking wrt only K750i]. You definitely
need an upgrade!
Having trouble with the camera with night time
shots? The latest firmware R1BC002 has improved the night capture mode
to get a better picture quality! You may want to upgrade to the latest
firmware.
At the same time, if you use your camera occasionally,
your MP3s are transferring fine into your memory stick, you have no
range/battery problems, are happy with the Mp3 volume/quality, then
heed my words - DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE! It does NOT void your
warranty [unless you use 3rd party firmware upgrade deals], it ideally
should NOT screw up your phone, but then “Why do you want to mend
something that ain’t broken?”
Furthermore, you CANNOT go back to the
previous firmware with a simple rollback. You will need to send it to
the service station to downgrade the firmware. And if you have a like I
had, then you’ll know that you DON’T wanna do that!
Anyhoo, here are the typical things usually upgraded in a firmware
- Camera software
- Display corrections
- Image manipulations
- MP3 sound volume/quality/clarity
- Battery life corrections
- Range corrections
- Response of the phone
- Additional features [E.g. busy icon when zooming/panning etc]
To
let you know of the history of firmware upgrades, You will come to know
which is the latest version of the firmware and what are the
upgrades/defects wth the firmware! Usually an honest decription is
provided here!
So, now that you know that you want to upgrade your phone firmware, what do you have to do? Well, here are the steps!


* Find out which firmware are you running right now - Just follow >
* < < * < * [Please note: > stands for right joystick input
and < stands for left joystick input]
* Download all the
required drivers for your phone to be detected as a Sony Ericsson
K750i/W800i in your computer! You need to download the USB cable
drivers if you are using the DCU-60 cable provided with the phone.
[Btw, a word of advice, stick to using that as this article is talking
about updating your phone using your DCU-60 cable itself]! You can
download all the necessary drivers/software for your SE phone from

Ericsson D750/K750 USB drivers!


* Download the Sony Ericsson Update Service (2) [The 2 is because of an
update to their update process ;-)! Now, they have a single software
thingy going on :-D]. You can download this directly off the Sony
website. The installation package is about 33.8MB [the
UpdateService_inst_2.2.13.7d.exe]. Make sure you have a good
connection. Ideally broadband!!
* Install your phone first by
plugging it onto the computer. You just need to point it to the drivers
if you have NOT already done it! [NOTE: People who have the older USB
drivers can upgrade to the latest download by holding “C” and
connecting to the cable with your phone off].
* Disconnect your phone and detach the USB cable.

* Then install the UpdateService_inst_.exe package onto
your computer! [This is a general update application for most of the
Sony Ericsson phones]
* Let the installation process finish.

* On its first startup, you need to wait for sometime [read a long time
if you have a slow connection like me]. This is because the application
is downloading its own latest update and the latest firmware for your
phone!
* All you need to follow are the onscreen instructions.
* Now, your phone should be upgraded to the latest firmware!
