Sony Ericsson Update Service… updated

seus-splash

The people who’ve recently tried to update their Sony Ericsson phone firmware via the update service application have probably noticed that before initializing, the program updated itself… and then popped up with a brand new interface. Yep, the update service is the last of  Sony Ericsson’s holy trio of apps (PC Suite, Media Manager and the said service) to receive a GUI reharsh. I haven’t been able to spot any significant new functionality, but it’s as good as it gets right now, so there’s not much to ask for.

You can download the new version of SEUS (v2.9.5.16) from the support section of Sony Ericsson’s website. No need to bother if you already have an older one, though. Just start it up and it’ll perform the update automatically.
And yes, they finally did include a better icon. Screenshots after the break.

    If you’re referring to the last icon, that’s just for mobile broadband cards.

    The only major changes is that you no longer need flash to be able to use SEUS ! :)

    Okay,
    So I did the update thing, and it said my phone already had the software, but if I was having problems to re-install it, so I did.
    The installation failed because I think my battery was 99.9% charged, and now my phone won’t turn on.
    I’m in desperate need of help…
    Please?

  23. NightBlade says:

    It wasn’t because of the battery. You need to either reflash the phone yourself (via, say A2 uploader) or send it to a sevice center.

    I hope new version of SEUS could support offline update without internet connection ( download packages of firmware update and use SEUS to update to phones). Thanks

    I updated my new Sony W995 and was unable to retrieve any of the backups I had made prior to the update.

    I was sent a new phone and didn’t update it initially, however due to the battery running down within 36 hours, I followed Sony’s advice to update the software in the hope that it would resolve the problem. Once again my phone couldn’t retrieve my backups. I tried backing up the phone using the Sony PC Suite in the hope that it might then be possible to reinstall one of my earlier backups, but the phone could not create a backup.

    I am now awaiting my third Sony W995, which will definitely not be updated with Sony’s latest software, I’d much prefer to have a phone with old software which works than one with new software which doesn’t.
