Emma
Emma is a Sony Mobile application used for updating, customizing and activating
phones and accessories. These operations are performed in services that are run in
Emma.
There are two different start modes for phones and accessories:
Flash mode - this is used when "flashing" i.e. updating or customizing a phone
and for activation of some phone models. To set a USB phone in flash mode
you power it off and then press and hold the C-button while you connect the
phone to the USB cable.
Phone mode - this is used when activating some phone models. The phone is
usually powered on before you connect it to the USB cable.
For more specific instructions please see the phone/accessory documentation.
You connect the phone or accessory to your computer through different types of
connectors (USB cable) depending on the phone model and working environment.
You need a user name and password to be able to use the application.
