You don't need mtm mode to upgrade firmware. Download and install the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). It'll walk you through how to upgrade.

um.. but just with flash tool? i cant update by the own phone or with Sony ericsson update utility?
and.. have any problem to put lt15i firmware at lt15a phone?
Regards!!
If your phone says that you are up to date, it's because your provider didn't roll out the update yet. If you don't want to flash you have to wait for it from them.
I cant repair my phone using Pc Companion or Sony Update Service !! :crying:
It says: Your phone includes modified software can not be update
Download your country firmware and flash with flashtool, then reconnect to update service. It will work then.

Then you can't update using SEUS or PC Companion.
Download the firmware you want from one of the threads and flash it using Flashtool.
Or go the adb route.

Ok. I got it. Thanks guys.
hello.. my current fw is .431 and there is a new update 587
how to install new update w/o losing root?
I believe if you update OTA you can keep root.
For me, I just relocked my bootloader, flashed stock image, used pc companion to update to new firmware, then unlocked bootloader, flashed stock kernel with cwm from old firmware. Then used old root tutorials to get root then flashed my kernel of preference.
Easy right?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
it's Easy
if you're on locked bootloader
OTA update will keep your root..,
or if it didn't reach you OTA flash the firmware with flashtool
and it's the same root method for .431 ..,with .587 kernel of course
or if you are with an unlocked bootloader
flash the firmware with flashtool
then flash the advanced kernel .587 ..,you'll find it in the development section
after that flash superuser with CWM from here
hope i helped you =)
^^^^That guy was much more helpful you should thank him

Im sorry.. im newbie.. what is OTA?
Sent from my LT18i using XDA Premium App
OTA is the short form for Over The Air i.e. updating via WiFi or using data on your mobile.

But if you can update via OTA how?
lately on the .431 FW i tried to update it via wifi.. but still it ask me to update it via pc companion.
"You need to plug pc companion in order to update" it says something like that...
but take note that some countries don't have the the new base available via OTA. only method is PC companion.

I have problem updating OTA. When it finishes downloading and I tap install, it reboot the logo appear that is updating but when reboot to home screen it says that could not update. My phone is rooted. I didn't install cwm, only bisybox.
My status:
Code:
- .431 with wotanserver
- Unlocked bootloader using testpoint keeping trackid (Omnius)
- stock firmware + CWM
- Rooted using Superuser
- Some system apps uninstalled.
If I try to update through OTA it makes the first boot and says "Error updating"
What shall I do?
Relock the bootloader? (in this case shall I pay to unlock it again?)
Backup all with titanium, use wotanserver with new version and root again?
Restore all deleted apps and OTA?
Thanks, and sorry, I could not find the proper answer.
To arcuser,
I know what you mean.I tried it as well a couple of days before your first post.Didnt happen.But later in the evening there was a notification from Sony Ericsson via Update Centre on the device that an update was available via WiFi.Clicked on the notification and sweetas iam on build 4.1.B.0.587.
That's the only change that happened and yes the screen comes on faster when you are about to make calls.

Hi!, apart from what you mention, there are more improvements, some of them led notification works better than before, people say it's has less bugs than prior ones.
I've also same trouble, the upgrade is available by OTA but when you download and install it, it reboots and show you an icon and a message indicating it didn't upgraded. It looks that it consider prior installed version and when it upgrades it needs pure sony kernel and rom, otherwise you receive the message. And also, if you do in the other way.. this is upgrade with pc companion you loose your root, so the current solution seems to be going back to . A.0.562 -next to B.0.431 and the root and finally upgrade with OTA b.0.587. This is what people say that works, some guys did it and works, but it is a pain in your but doing all these steps.. so does anyone knows any other way of doing it?
Dears,
My Acro s with CM10 rom ( currently ) is not reconized by Emma or Update services!
I changed the rom and kernel but problem stays.
Unfortulatly i don't have back up of orginal software .
When I connect the deivce to Update services : Your device has a modified software
When I connect to Emma : the attached shotscreen appears
Any one had such problem?
Thanks
for update PCC and SUS your phone must be Locked Bootloader, for EMMA must be Unlocked Bootloader.

How are you connecting your phone? For Xperia S, to connect to EMMA your phone must be in fastboot or flash mode(can't remember which one). Have you tried connecting in these modes?
Edit:
That's an interesting picture.
