Problem updating my x10 to version 3.whatever

[#1]

Hi guys. New to the forum. Im having some serious issues updating my software. :smileyinfo:

Ive updated my PCC as it told me to and it recognises the phones connected. But when I clicked on the update is available for your phone and when I try to update my phone its saying that its "unable to install or start phone software update components"

Ive had a look through the forum for details on this but the links for the update service dont seem to take me anywhere useful. Can anyone help at all please??:smileyconfused:

Its sooo frustrating!:smileyangry:

Cheers

Steve

once you update to 2.3.3 the Backup & Restore will be gone so try this

Use one of these links to download the

Backup & Restore app

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193802

or

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

SMS/MMS

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.mmsextract&feature=search_result

Call Logs

And for call logs this is great

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yang.android.ansta

Apps

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

My Phone Explorer

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&hl=en

if you have a lot of sms/mms the backup & restore will take forever or might not backthem up corectly

both apps above Backup SMS +    and    backup & restore SMS are great, this last one it's really fast

let me make it simpler

download the apk on your computer, send it to yourself through email, make sure you send it to your Gmail

now on your phone

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

wait for the email, once  you get the email, open it, and instead of downloading the attachment it will allow you to install it, voila, done

after installing Update Service, you MUST restart your computer

also you can manually update your phone
