Yesterday I updated my phone through PC Companion, I followed every step correctly and the last step was to turn on the phone and wait, but mine didnt turn on. It keep the screen with the sony logo for hours and hours until the battery died so I charged it (through the wall) and kept waiting more and still the same result.
You get as far as step 10 as is shown in this post? http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-perform-a-software-repair/m-p/1061295#M24
I just want to make sure since that is the first step where you are supposed to connect the phone to the PC, it should not be connected when you start the software repair.
If this doesn't work then it seems like your phone needs to be examined further at an authorised service center. Contact your Local support team for more information on how to proceed if need be.
