Problem with Xperia PLAY update 2.3.4 pc companion

I have a problem with Xperia PLAY update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 by pc companion!
I installed the latest version of pc companion 2.01.231. When start pc companion and connect my Xperia PLAY, pc companion recognize Xperia PLAY and the new update (that's good).
Here the problem, pc companion take a lot of time "prepare computer for software update" with no end.
I waited 1 hour and no download of update just "Initializing".
My computer is fast and the internet connection is good.
My Xperia PLAY Nederland (NL) version.
How can it be solved?
If all else fails , try the Sony Ericsson Updater, i flashed 2.3.3 before 2.3.4 came out , but i suppose it flashes the latest.

use SEUS.
Windows 7 has an annoying issue where the MTP drivers don't load properly.
If you want to use PCC you could try fixing it by opening device manager and uninstall the xperia play usb drivers whilst the xplay is plugged into your PC, then once uninstalled unplug and replug the xplay to your pc usb and wait for the drivers to reinstall.
Just use wontanserver, easiest to use, super fast, and has all the firmware for every version plus its free

Thanks, SEUS works perfect.

[Q] [Help] Problems after updating Xperia S to JB

I updated my Xperia S to JB with PCC.
I thought it would be a smooth experience, but all hell broke loose after the update finished.
1. Walkman does not work. It crashes all the time and always gives me the error "Unfortunately, WALKMAN has stopped working"
2. The album app cannot detect any of my photos stored in my device. Same goes for Ringtone picker. I have tried clearing Media Storage (It always worked for me in ICS) but it simply refuses to rebuild the Media Storage.
3. I cannot connect it to my PC at all. PCC keeps reporting an error and any of their proposed solutions do not work. When I try taking a screenshot, it says "Unable to capture screenshot, internal storage may be in use". Did the update screw up my internal storage?
I am now trying to flash it back to .55 FW. After first successful flash, it is stuck in a bootloop, crashing on the XPERIA logo. So now I am trying to reflash it again. However, I keep getting weird stuff like "Flash Aborted" or "Flash Cancelled" by Flashtool for no reason.
What should I do?

Before you hard brick your phone. Read this carefully.
You probably updated your phone to JB without resetting data/factory reset that is why you're facing force closes, lags etc. Now you should download SUS as you have effed up your phone, from here. Then follow the on-screen instructions CAREFULLY and you'll get your phone back, working with no lag/force closes whatsoever.

I find it odd that Sony didn't mention anything about resetting phone when updating via PCC.
Thanks for your help though. I managed to get it to stop bootlooping and flashed a ftf to completely wipe everything - there goes all my messages.......
Now I'm able to at least boot into .55. Should I update to JB now since it's on a totally clean slate and hopefully prevent any other unexpected stuff from happening?

Well, i'm downloading jelly bean now due to its high antutu score, which basically means more performance. When i updated from Sony Update Service, it asked me if i wanted to just update, or wanted to update with a clean install.

I see. So SUS is a more reliable option I guess.
On another note, managed to update to JB and issues are resolved. Only sad part is a ton of my past apps have about 8gb of SD data on my SD card but they aren't installed -.-"
Time to manually reinstall them.....

Cheers then, if your problem is solved.
I update my phone via Sony update service and now my Google Play Store doesn't work any longer.
I did factory reset, flashed back to ICS and it is same thing, and all google apps like say that it can't reach server.
Did restore phone couple of times but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Possible Solution : CLEAN RE-FLASH
The New Update downloads and optimizes a few apps at start up from phone.
You will find new small apps google updates for 4.1.2 and also new chrome browser.
If you are facing the problem.
Reason is 4.1.2 Google Apps might not be compatible with ICS and vice verse.
What you can do now.
Reset Your Phone.
Check if the phone shows "Optimizing Apps" After Flashing from SONY Official Software..
If not! Flash Again With A Clean Whip.
If You are on rooted and unlocked phone and with recovery : Flash Gapps compatible with your device.
I hope this information helps you.
Reply back if there is a progress.

Just found out that my router had DNS settings that change location for Netflix, and my phone was freaked out.
Now router is on default settings and everything works.
Not sure why XS was fine with it when it was on ICS.
Thanks for reply.
Best part of update is when connected to my car stereo via BT, songs information shows!!!!
I just could guess that even my SE MW600 might work with songs ID, will check later when come back from school.

anyways,
i too installed windows 7 and it works properly
Windows 8(.1) sucks yes.
Finally got it working. Microsoft has released a Sony ADB update. Installed the Flashtool-drivers and ran MS-update, and it worked.

[Q] Flashtool with Windows 8.1

Trying to use Flashtool to downgrade to KK so I can root and flash LP, but Flashtool gets stuck as soon as I try to run it. It come up with errors about not finding a proxy for Firefox or IE or Java. I'm currently using Chrome, but I downloaded and installed Java and even opened up IE in a new window. I have installed drivers after disabling the signature check, but still have the same problem.
So what am I doing wrong?

The unofficial flashtool by Bin4ry, as I'm trying to avoid unlocking my bootloader. I have used it before on my old computer (Windows 7), but can't seem to get it to work on this one (Windows 8.1).

I'm on win 8.1 and I originally used Androxyde Flashtool from here which works fine with 8.1.... everything you need to downgrade and upgrade.... and even unlock B/L.... or not !!
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
That's what I have. I put the firmware in the folder specified, but keep getting stopped right here.
The only way to get rid of it is to kill it with the task manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I haven't had this computer very long, so Win 8.1 is still new to me.

Hmmm.... that's the very same Flashtool I have.... so we know it CAN work on 8.1.... time for the obvious first... uninstall completely and re-install paying careful attention to where you direct the installation to go and ensuring you get the 64 bit (assuming yr on 64 bit win 8.1) ... then once installed don't open until you re-boot and so you'll need to open from wherever you installed a shortcut.... internet connected to sync from github

No luck so far. Uninstalled, re-downloaded, reinstalled (even the drivers). I even found a detailed video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld4wz06bLpg
As far as I can tell, I'm following everything to a "T". PC Companion works just fine. Probably just overlooking something very simple... Just have to keep digging, I guess. I'll post whatever solution I find, in case someone else is having this problem.
Thanks for your help!
dave
I remember having similar issues . For me there was some junk in the firmware folders, try removing everything and just put what u need there. Dunno if it helps but worth a try. Good Luck

1)What is the current version?
2)What phone model are you using?
3)How fast is your internet connection?
Get out of all rings ( opt out of insider programme) restart phone. Download upgrade advisor follow on screen instructions.
If you own an unsupported phone make required changes in the registry using interop tools.
If your phone is supported and an update is available and if it is available to download via update & security. Hit download sometimes the progress bar doesn't move at all don't worry plug your charger and connect to WiFi, 3g, it may take hours,days to show the progress but it will be downloading in background.
If you are facing a different problem. Please ask.
