try using SUS:

Sony Update Service (SUS)

also try disabling your antivirus and allow app through firewall.

You can flash the firmware to your phone using flashtool.

search on forums here.

Does PCC shows that a system update is available. Tell me your SI no.

Your SI no is listed.

As sony has announced that there is a problem in releasing the software in various regions and is working to solve the issue.

I will ask you to wait a bit or else flash the software like me. MY SI no. is not yet listed.

In phone go to settings>security and check unknown sources.

Then go to developer options and check usb debugging then connect the device to computer and make sure PCC or flashtool not running in the background. It should install ADB Drivers for your device.

Now uncheck debugging and start the flashing process.
