Can't update firmware from R1CA039 to R1EA030 for w910i

Posted by Sarmadf
Hey guys,

I bought an unbranded w910i off the shelf which was preloaded with the R1CA039 firmware. Reading up on the new firmware which offers significant speed improved I tried to update it both through the SEUS and the inbuilt phone update service but it keeps telling me my phone software is up to date. Is there any manual mechanism of loading the new firmware or any other way to make SEUS recognize that my firmware is not up-to-date.

I've seen some other people are experiencing similar problems with unbranded/debranded phones. Has anyone had any luck with Sony Ericsson support? I haven't.

Ideas and suggestions will be more than welcomed.

Cheers,

I believe you have to use the desktop update software.

I think there is no desktop update software for the w910i. This is really frustrating as the SE update service gives no information on the version of the new firmware and the one that you have (although the phone does). Is this is a bug or a hardware issue?
