I had to find it by searching for P910 version, but apparently it works with P990 judging by Masseur's post.

It seems quirky tho, at least for me. I have to hold the "C" button down and then attach the sync cable...then the screen tells me to relase the C button...then it appears to turn itself off...while it says on the utility something like "locating device"...then a P990 screen appears and I confirm I want to upgrade and erase all data...then it moves through some kind of downloading updata and installing update screens very fast and takes me back to the startup of the utility.



Is this the same version as all of you are using? Same kind of quirkyness" also?

no sorry, I don't have a direct link to this version.

I have this version from a natural progression of auto update each time I run SEUS

I tried turning Windows Firewall off (I keep having to unblock when syncing)...but at least can Sync ok and did a backup.

It didn't make a difference. I also get a USB error message in the taskbar, right around the time it says "detecting device."

For those who have succesfully performed the upgrade, what do you see on the P990's screen? After plugging in the cable and releasing the "C" button, it seems to shut the unit down at the same time as it says "detecting."

Here's a question: When do you start pressing the "C" key? At the green Sony ericsson logo? When the normal/flight mode choice appears? Let it turn on completley?

Also, did you get any "USB device not recognized message"?

No matter what, the upgrade service seems to turn the fone off even as it proceeds to the Select Upgrade "P990 Generic World1 MR1" screen!

press the 'C' key and hold it before you connect the USB cable and keep pr3essing till the screen tell you to release it.

yes, with the M600 and P990 I get the message that USB is not recognised just before it tells me to release the 'C' key

"P990 Generic World1 MR1" is the version it showed me that it was going to upgrade to so that seems normal also
