Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:07:25 GMT

Hello

I want to upgrade to 4.0.4. through SEUS, but I can not enter in flash mode, press the Volume Down button and connect, and the computer freezes.

Please tell me what could be the problem.

the computer is the issue in this case, do you have another PC that you can use?

No computer, but I seem to understand what the problem is, when you connect your computer freezes and does not install the drivers.

A connection to the driver can not be established.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try this program.

Nothing has changed.

That's when you connect to the flash mode, the computer finds a new device and freezes.

the issue in this case is your computer, lets try this

don't run anything on your PC -> connect your phone on flashmode, turn off your phone -> remove the battery -> put it back on -> do NOT turn it on -> press and hold the back/volume key (it varies per xperia) -> while still holding connect the usb cable -> keep holding

the LED should turn Green and your phone should look for the drivers

Did everything as you said, green, the PC found new hardware, and hovered.

I think it's because of my own windose can not install the driver (I have XP). Prior to this on windows 7 using the flash mode is successfully updated from 58 to 62.

Sorry for bad English, but I know it is bad and is forced to use an interpreter.

As long as I understand your English that's fine, you can use translate.google.com

try updating Java

Java installed and tried again to connect the phone in flash mode, again the same thing.

It seems necessary to search for PCs with Windows 7.

So the problem I have.

I'll try to reinstall the system software (DirectX, Flash Player).

Well, now I at least know why.

Reinstalling the system software does not help.

Do not even know what to do.

There is none.

Maybe there is some kind of authorized service centers that can help?

The problem with the flash mode of thought suggested to me the guy with the nickname vladigor from the site 4pda.ru.

I went into safe mode, connect the phone, the driver is installed, and you're done.

Thank you for your attention you paid to my problem.
