Xperia x10 / x10 mini / x10 mini pro - upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1
Today I was just going to go to sleep as the phone issued a message that a software update is available. I would update quietly tomorrow, if not the last item in the list of updates: changing the version of android from 1.6 to 2.1.
Naturally, I became interested and happily ran to update my phone.
As usual, I launched Sony Ericsson PC companion, saw the update request, clicked on, I saw a warning that during the update all my personal data will be deleted and I need to make a backup - ok, I went to Backup & Restore , installed the proposed application, made backup.
I click further, put a checkbox that I made a backup and I understand that all my personal data will be destroyed, I wait a while and receive a message
That's right, with an error :)
I tried to restart the phone, the computer, I deleted all the applications from the phone (the backup was made anyway) - to no avail, the message still climbs. Search in Yandex did not give anything. I got to the technical support forum - and there I didn’t find anything sensible, but I was pleased with the topics
The solution to the problem unexpectedly found in the form of the Update Service program . I downloaded it, launched it, she offered to connect the phone, performed all the steps - turned it off, waited 30 seconds, connected the usb with the "back" key pressed, and here it is the long-awaited update download:
and immediately after it the installation (I didn’t even have to press anything else)
After installation, turn on the phone and get xperia x10 mini (pro) with android 2.1 installed
Now you need to re-configure the date / time, google account and internet connection, and then proceed to recover data from the backup, in fact, what my phone is doing at the moment, about 20% are currently completed.

From what immediately caught my eye: a new design theme, in darker colors and with silver buttons instead of the old blue ones, and a new unlock screen (if before to unlock the phone it was enough to press the "menu" button, now there appeared two sliders: one to unlock, and the second to turn off the sound). It is not yet clear whether it is possible to change the theme of the design to the old blue one, because I honestly liked the old one more. The new theme looks damp, especially not very nice gradients (for example, under the operator’s name if you pull the status bar) and these new gray buttons are a little tense, the old ones were better. Well, the problems of the previous theme are not solved: the small “close” buttons in the language switch panel with the keyboard pushed and the “search” in the market, which is difficult to hit with a finger.
There is nothing more to say about the update (because I'm waiting for my backup data to be restored), I just decided to please all Xperia x10 mini (pro) owners with the news about the long-awaited 2.1 for our phone and share a solution to the problem “I can't install or run software update components phone, if suddenly someone else will face it.
