Well, then you may try to download one of the old firmwares on the forum and flash it to your phone with flashtool.

I've had this same problem a while ago.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070199 Post 6
I got the PC Companion program to recognize the phone and I was able to repair the firmware.
If you have no success with this method, can certainly by flashing the firmware (11.0.A.210 or 11.0.A.5.5) available on the forum with the tool flashtools.
Kind regards,
Jorge Moreira
If I helped press Thanks button

[Q] Xperia J ota update problem

I just got the OTA update to 11.2.A.0.31 ( I am on 11.2.A.0.21 CE version) and I downloaded it, pressed to install and then my phone shuts down, starts installing and after that the phone reboots and I get a notification say "could not install new software version. try again "
Does anyone know why that is?
Has it happened to any of you guys?
Thanks!
P.S- It's kinda weird when it installs because I keep getting black screens after it goes trough the steps and I'm pretty sure that it should not do that...

Yes, it happened to be because I swapped the internal memory with the SD card.

Ok I get that, but I did not do that.
I have the normal settings, I haven't made any changes to the vold.fstab .
So I'm guessing that's not why I get the error.

Just found out it's not just me. Someone else has the same problem.
But anyway I flashed back to ICS, rooted and saw that I have an OTA update straight to .31 version and it worked .
So I don't know what the problem was but I found a way around it.

Same problem in Xperia Z

The same thing is happening to my Xperia Z (C6602). The phone is not rooted. Any other alternatives for OTA other than PCC or SUS or flashtool? Or can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Normally, I would use flashtool, but the max internet speed at my current location is only 40 KB/s. It would take a long time to download the ftf file, which it's over 700 MB.

What can i do about it? Since i have samsung, what is the "Samsung Kies" but for Sony phones? could you link me anything useful?
*UPDATE* Actually it's Sony PC Companion and i now got it on my computer...
Thanks!

I tried to be more specific since i started the thread, sorry if i couldn't provide enough info for you my friend i will try to be more detailed for you now if i can.
So my friend has this phone, Miro, she doesn't know much from technology and stuff so i told her to help her out, and i want to get some help from previous owners or anyone that could possibly help me,
So i open the phone from the button, normally, it boots normally, and while on the pin screen, the touch screen doesn't work/respond, and it restarts itself in a loop going in the same position again and again, my idea was to update it, maybe it would work that way, today i will get the phone and try to sort the problem out, i downloaded Sony PC Companion on my pc, but i don't know if this is enough, that's why i need you now, maybe you can suggest me some other kind of solution..
Thanks for responding kreatonn

Sent it to Sony service like lozohcum post might help. The phone is still in warranty?? If still, then it's good.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM MYSELF! and NO i never take my phone to support because it takes too long and it just comes back unsolved or replaced without actually fixing the problem
So after searching for many minutes of my life through sites and articles, i came up with one about recovering bricked phones, well i wasn't able to use Sony PC Companion because it wouldn't detect it. Or it would but it would restart itself and lose the connection in seconds...
The solution is to FLASH the original firmware with Flashtool
So to solve the mystery
1. Download the original firmware from the xperia collection: HERE
2. Download Flashtool
After all of this history, be sure to get all the drivers needed for the phone you have, if you have windows 7 it will download them automatically if you run and try to flash it since it detects and downloads them with windows update, or else you have to get drivers for your miro and install also the drivers that flashtool needs you to install (it has a folder drivers on it's installation directory)
So when you install Flashtool, Open Flashtool, and Turn off your phone (Remove the battery, and put it back after a few seconds), Do not turn on your phone, just put it on the USB port with the cable.
On Flashtool
1. Put the downloaded firmware into the installation directory of Flashtool, inside the folder, "Firmwares"
2. Open Flashtool (or 64bit version if your windows is 64bit)
3. Press the Thunder, and choose Flashmode
4. On the window that appears, choose MIRO's FIRMWARE and hit OK
Now it has this screen where it waits for you to do something with the usb. It's easy
5. While your phone is turned OFF completely and is probably charging on the USB, Press the VOLUME DOWN button and turn on your phone, the LED will turn GREEN or BLUE i think.
6. The program automatically detects the phone and starts flashing the original firmware
So after that i waited like 2 mins to complete the flashing on Flashtool, and 5 minutes to open the mobile (first time is always slow)
and it would respond, the touch screen and everything.
Thanks for your responses!
