Can't update to 4.0.2.A.0.58

[#1]

Hi all,

three days ago my Xperia mini pro displayed a new message "4.0.2.A.0.58 Neue Systemaktualisierung verfuegbar" ("new system update available", my system is in German).

I connected the Phone (SK17) to my desktop computer, PC Companion did an update of itself (now: Version 2.01.231, Production 18.2). I rebooted, connected the phone again, PC Companion starts, offers to update the phone, a new window opens with "1. Start, 2. Preparation, 3. Update ..."

the progress bar reaches "2." data are downloaded to the PC, when the progress bar reaches "3." (the actual update of the phone), the process ends with the error message "install error: components of the software update could not be installed oder started" (all translated from german, original english wording may vary).

At the end I am directed to the SE website which is of no help.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tiberius.

That did the trick.

For all who are concerned: I downloaded and installed SE Update Service. After starting the program updated itself to Version 2.11.11.21, I then followed the instructions, pressed the key to turn down the volume (not the "back" key as stated in Uliwooly-wooly's post) -> in a matter of about 10 minutes the whole action (including re-starting the phone which took a rather long time) ended successfully, I'm on Version 2.3.4 now.

(btw. I did not remove SIM neither SD card)

Many thanks to Uliwooly-wooly!

I'm glad it's working now
