Live with Walkman ICS update problem

[#1]

I'm from the Philippines and I was waiting for the ICS update. I've read this thread http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/199753#199753 saying that an update is available for the SI number.. but when I checked, my number is a lower SI number i think it was 5375? sorry I havent rechecked but I was certain it was a lower SI number than 5757. I plugged my phone into PC Companion on MSC mode (MTC mode seems to fail in detecting my phone) to check and it notified me of an update. So I went with the update procedures. I was at the downloading step then when the download completed (sort of) the dialog shows "preparing" then suddenly the update failed. and an error message popped up saying the the update failed. Any help???? sorry for the long post

ICS has been released for live with walkman, and i don't know why the thread is not updated

Try this

SUS ( Sony Update Service)  ... download and install it on pc and follow the on-screen instructions http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software%20Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe

                  or

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/

Both the links are same

I've got the same thing! I'm quite relieved  I'm not the only one having this issue.Oh and SUS, uh I think I'm too scared to take that path haha. I preffer the automatic update rather than the manual fiddling with the files with SUS thank you.

here's a screeny of my error while updating. Please help :c

from the link uliwooly posted I think using SUS is too risky (such as voiding my warranty) for me. sorry. I hope this gets resolved

[amandeepsingh51]

i think its due to the configration of the computer. whats your computer's configration ??

Updated mine fine. Trying out ICS and so far, so good. The icons seem a bit smaller though.
