Go to sonyericsson official website , first choose your location and then choose your model of your handset then download a new update software from the website and install it and run it .Next run the update service and now switch off your phone remove the battery and reinsert the battery (don't switch on your mobile ) and fix your usb cable first into the pc next hold the "c" button on your on handset continously while connecting the other end to the handset and hold it till the update service detects your phone.The updateservice itself detects anyupdates for your handset then click install .First it download the software and whent the download is complete it will automatically install it.

"A other neccessray details are given in the updateservice itself"

Take your handset to the nearest service centre of Sony Ericsson. They will upgrade your handset's software.

Do not try it yourself as if the updation is not completed fully or being stopped in between the process then your handset will completely die.
