I would like to get latest software for Sony Ericsson S500 I have a Sony Ericsson s500(i) mobile phone. I want to upgrade the firmware. I have installed the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, and am at the stage now where it is describing how to connect my phone via usb and telling me to do so. However, here I arrived at a problem: I put the phone into 'Phone Mode' like the program tells me and the program will not recognize the phone (the 'next >' button is still dimmed. I have tried this several times. Once even putting the phone in file transfer mode. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?
I wouldnt update to THE latest as sony ericsson's update service will make it so you have to pay to unlock the phone if you ever decide you want to.
have a read of this so you can see what i mean and to give you an idea of how to install new software to the phone http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=36780

PROBLEM SOLVED:
Turns out one of the pins on the phone end of the USB cable was bent. I bent it back and now it's working fine.
