Updating 6.0.f.0.72 to 6.0.f.0.111

---

Hey, I have a LT28i which i bought off Expansys and it came unlocked with 6.0.f.0.72 installed but when I connected it to my com the PC Companion told me there was and update but after multiple times I still cannot update my phone. I have read the threads and don't really understand the process of flashing and I do not want to lose all my data on my phone. Can anyone help or direct me to the correct thread please?

On a side note I cannot get my Ion to transfer the apps to my SD card as well as all my camera photos are still stored on the internal memory is there any setting i can make to get them to go straight to my SD card?



Thanks in advance!


Cheers,

You can flash it to .111. All you have to do is make sure that you uncheck the wipe data part of the flashtool. And for the SD card problem, I have no solution to it as I don't have a SD card for my ion atm.

Since the ion has internal storage, you have to look for the ext card to see your SD card. SD card on mine is actually the internal storage.

Thanks a lot. Is it possible to rename the SD card from ext to SD and make the phone think it's the internal one? And if i flash it to .111 will i be able to recieve updated from SE or do i have to keep reflashing it when something new comes out?

.111 is still an official firmware. You can still update without issues. Not sure on the renaming part. Give it a try and see what it does. If it doesn't work just rename it back.

Okay, i've read the flashing guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but i'm still lost. the program wont detect my Lt28i. can anyone advise please? =/

Does your PC pick it up? If not and the phone is just charging when connected you are probably not using the cable that came with the phone and it is probably a charge only cable. At least that's the problem I ran into at first lol

For Xperia Ion, you have to hold the Up Volume button as you connect it with the usb. The back button is for the older models. Remember, keep your phone charged before you flash.

The problem is that I cant even get flashtool to detect my phone to flash. Even with pressing the button.

You might need drivers... Go to the drivers downloader in the flash tool folder and click on it.
