Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Have you checked the troubleshooting steps that PC Companion displays? You might have a firewall and/or antivirus that is blocking the update engine. Also make sure that you computer have the latest version of Java.

Hi i am having the very same issue. Did all the Troubleshoot steps.

no luck at all

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue.

Tried so many times to update with no success.

Disabled firewall but didn't help too.

The previous update with Sony PC Companion was successful with no issue.

So I think that the problem needs to be solved from SONY end.

Thanks.

yup hard to work this one out,

well in the end i had to remove driver from control panel software then remove pc companion too  and reboot system and retry and get everything from scratch to make it work! 

good news it can be fixed bad news is too much work for simple update!

I found a solution for this issue:

follow these steps:

1, disable firewall and antivirus also.

2, ON internet data in mobile phone 3G or 4G and start USB tethering, settings--more--tethering and portable hotspot--USB tethering.

3, connect your laptop using tethering. dont use the internet connection which was showing error 1200.

4, if PCC already updated no issues..otherwise uninstall and reinstall again.

5, connect xperia phone with tethering ON.

6, Check drivers are installing. 2 No.s drivers will be installed including RNDIS drivers.

7, Start updating or repairing software.

8, usually error wil popout at preparing step in PCC. now, that step should complete.

9, Let software download to your PC begin with phone tethering. after downloading 30% or more, if data is a concern..disconnect tethering and connect normal internet. Downloading should continue..

10, once downloading continues, update or repair your xperia. should be successful.

i did this yesterday 13/5/15 for my Z3 as i was experiencing this error 1200 more than a year. i updated 23.1.A.1.28 firmware by this method.

no issue at all till the process completed.. easy steps though.I'm using USB dongle for internet.. that could cause this issue.. once i tethered my phone, no issue  ..try this and if succeded, please forward to others.
