What version of PC Companion did you have and what version it was updated? I've v2.01.149.
EDIT: As I posted this, my PC Companion got updated to v2.01.173. Not a major change! Bug fixed??

Na, seems fake as no change in the built number or other stuff.

...not fake I'm still not completely sure as to how it was updated to 2.3.3. When i got the phone from rogers it was at 2.3.2 all i remember doing is plugging it into PC companion and then bam update.
Maybe its region specific?

Even though it's region specific, I still feel that there should be change in the built number.
Only guys from Rogers can answer this

or you've installed the google video chat from MoDaCo? it spoofs the version to 2.3.3 so you can use the app.

Yah i think that was it, was just a coincidence that i had plugged it into PC companion when i installed the new gtalk app

One thing has diffinitly changes it the PC companion desktop shortcut icon from a phone with lots of hardware keys to a full touch screen phone.
I tried to repair and see if a unlocked bootloader is allowed to repair with this version and it still says I have modified software installed.
Just thought I would share.

no update available for rogers users

Just updated PC Companion and plugged my Arc in. I also checked for system updates. Still on Android 2.3.2.

I cant imagine that PC companion will be a sign of a firmware update, its more for connecting your phone and syncing it than anything else. Its SEUS that deals with the updates

Shall I update to 4.0.A.2.36?

Just had my xperia play from 02 unlocked to all networks when i put my usb in then press search it turns blue so i dont know if the bootloader has been unlocked? Im wanting to upgrade to software 4.0.A.2.368 but i have read that sony are saying not to upgrade if bootloader is unlocked http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions ?
what shall i do ? please help
If your bootloader is unlocked you can't update over the air, ie. on the phone itself.
You can still install all the updates you want using the computer.
Since you get the blue light you must be unlocked.
As for needing it, not especially. I like the newest things so I did, fixed some bugs I had.

Thank you so if I update using sony erricson software I will be ok ?
I can't really help, but for what it is worth I upgraded my O2 Play when I got it a few days ago. It is locked to O2. The upgrade was painless, but the first boot after the upgrade did take a long time. Just long enough to get you worried.
It should be fine updating using pc companion. Just wondering. How did you unlock your xperia play as I'm thinking about doing the same?

Ups....messed up users.
But if bootloader is OPEN/UNLOCKED. Then use flashtool in development section..
This will do this job fine.
If bootloader is LOCKED/CLOSED, then use official update method..if 1st flash unsucsess...then reflash agent.
Error you getting if drivers or Java is not correctly installed.

well man my bootloader is locked but official dont work on my phone he never open after the official one i tried like 5 time and the only way to make it work again is using a 2.3.3 version trough flashtool that i downloaded some where on the forum

I'm not sure if pc companion reads your phone on cm10 but I do know it won't do anything to your phone if you connect it to your pc. Just don't do a update or fix your phone through pc companion you will go back to stock.

You can use the PC companion to fix your phone and update.
Any changes or Mods will be revert back to stock.
But i don't think it can brick your phone
I hope you understood what im trying to say !!

CAUTION!!! If you unlocked your bootloader pcc will NOT work, unless you re-lock first. Search relocking bootloader. There's a sticky thread for the ION in development. If your phone has become non responsive, follow recovery thread in my signature

Thanks for pointing that part.

This is Damn Frustrating ... CAN'T UPDATE VIA PC COMP/ SEUS

I don't understand what is wrong. First of all I don't seem to understand actually what model I brought?! I am damn sure i brought a Xperia SL. But there is no specific forum for SL in XDA. When i browsed around, i found out The Xperia S has model number as LT26 and has two models LT26i and LT26a, and mine is LT26i ! But in settings it shows MODEL Number as LT26ii (double i ??? )
So can someone tell me what Sony product I have actually brought?
then, when i connect to PC Companion, it says a new update available - 6.1.A.2.55 [Mine is 6.1.A.2.45].
And when I do all the process as stated by it says
"UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PHONE SOFTWARE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION AND TRY AGAIN"
Even though my internet connection is perfectly working.
Then I tried to update using SEUS.. I followed all steps .. Switch off phone, wait 30 secs, hold back button and connect usb, after everything it displays "THE PRODUCT COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED".. what the hell ?!
I have attached images of both the errors in the attachments. Please help me out.
LT26ii is an SL
Its effectively the same software etc as an S just yours runs @ 1.7ghz
Not sure why pc companion etc won't work. We use flashtool on here. But you'd have to see if they're are ftf files available for the firmware update you want

Nopes. Its good as new.:good:
Ftf files we use for Flashtool (firmware flasher for Sony Devices) if u r unable to update via Pcc or Update Service u should use it. And your problem about internet connection error is common for updating sony. Its from sony server to reduce overload you can try again after day or two it will start work. Had the same problem wen I was updating to 4.0.4 from GB.

I think this might be a hardware problem then. All of this things are wireless stuff. (Not a 100% sure on this, wait for a bigger pro than me ). Try is NFC working. Also how doesn't WiFi work? Doesn't turn on or what?

I can´t probe the NFC. The wifi, bluetooh and radio no turn on. only say it "turning on" and then the button come back to turn off.
