I had the same problem twice. You need to uninstall the drivers. Do the following:
Disconnect your phone from computer.
Create a system restore point.
1. Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables
2. In the lower pane (System Variable), create 2 new values
Variable name: DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS
Value: 1
Variable name: DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
Value: 1
3. Click Ok to save
4. Control Panel > System > Advanced > Hardware > Device Manager
5. In the Device Manager window, click View and then 'Show Hidden Device'
All devices not connected to the computer should be visible now.
6. In the device list, expand 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'
Right-click and uninstall all 'Sony Ericsson....' and 'SEMC flash Devices'.
Reboot your computer and launch SEUS for the update.
The other time it didn't work was because the USB cable extension was damaged. Tried without the extension or another USB port with success. |

Unplugged your dcu cable, run CCleaner, repeat the SEUS's procedure and make sure to firmly hold the C button for 5 seconds or more...

2 and 5 works! so why does the program say press 'C' button?
it says i got the latest software, my version is R1FA030, is that the latest foe w890i? |

i had the dreaded "semcboot download" balloon and then system freeze while holding c
or
holding 2+5 would give me "generic flash device" and phone would go into mass satorage mode with xp sp3
i couldnt successfully flash or update my w910 on any of my 3 xp computers
what eventually worked was uninstalling "semcboot download" through device manager in windows "safe mode" (restart F8)
you may need to follow StevenC's guide to showing hidden devices in device manager first
coincedently:
when xp restarted after the "semcboot download" uninstall, msn messenger was running - i disabled msn and the messenger service when i first installed xp ?
hope this helps somebody
