Sony Xperia S - ICS not able to update

[#1]

My phone serial number was displayed in the list provided by SONY on  27 july.

Xperia S (LT26)

1257-3318

2012-06-27

I tried more than 200 times but I am still not able to update, Everytime it stoped because of server is BUSY. As I am a software developer i can understand too much load was the reason but i tried 200 times and I am not able to update. So this is way sony deliverd the sofware to users??? If this is a case how the users will use the sony products. Sony need to take a immediate actions to resolve this kind of issues otherwise definetly it will loose their valuable users.

Thanks,

Bass

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem, but when I try the online update, the Java page gives me an error. Here's a print screen of the error I get on the Sony Mobile website [on both Chrome and IE, after clearing both of all cookies and else].

PC Companion warns me about the update, I do everything as required [plug, unplug, wait, plug it back etc]. Once it gets thru, it says I have already updated my phone [as far as I see, I'm still running on 6.0.A.3.75]. Weird?

To explain, here are 2 print screens of what I get. The first one is warning me about the update. The second one, after plugging in the phone and all that stuff, tells me that I'm crazy, no update in sight. My first time dealing with a Sony Android's been a bit of a pain, really.

And the one after:

Sorry to say, I've done that too. And that software does exactly the same thing. I'm looking at a manual install...not very excited about it.

Phone has been successfully updated, but had to do it manually as PC Companion and the Update software failed. Both recognized the phone after plugging it in while holding volume down, but wouldn't update it.

Here's what I did. Got it right on the first go. Being a n00b, I'm actually quite proud of myself!
