If you are not able to use the Sonyericsson update service then you can update your phone directly use your phone menu>settings>update service>search for update.Try this but it will need an internet connection on your phone to download updates to your phone.

it is not just update. i updated or downgraded. i dont know. i misplaced the software to k550 from k550i. so now i am seeking for a firmware or so called correcting my errors. i cant enter in the phone menu too. it says incorrect sim card. i knew that it would happen installing a different software. what can i do in this case?

i downloaded and tried the phone repair. but it said phone repair failed. i downloaded the 2.10.7.15 version which is said to be a update service pro. it asks for username and password. i registered but sony ericssion validation hasnt come yet in my email giving me the password. if this program works then please can i get any one username and password from your side friend? if this is possible to repair my K550i, it would be a great help from your side staying in different parts of the world. Hope to get positive response.

Take sim card out, clean it and again insert it,if problem persist then try master reset or resert all.
