Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I suggest that you disconnect the phone from any kind of power source > Hold the ON/OFF button + volume up(+) for 10 seconds and the phone should power off completely. When the phone is off, you can perform a software repair on your phone via PC Companion:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.
Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.

  • "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again"

    Hi
    I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
    Pleease help me out
    Best regards
    Maria

  • The software update failed

    Downloading the latest firmware took forever (3 hours and still at 30%). Then I accidently unplugged the USB cable. Now my phone says "The software update failed" and I am unable to turn it on or connect using The Sony Bridge for Mac. How can I fix this?

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • The Software Update failed Sony Xperia Z1

    Hi There
    I have just tried to update my sony experia to the latest version of Android using Sony bridge for MAC. For some reason the update failed, now the phone is no longer recongnised by the Sony bridge for MAC software and hence the upgrade cannot be re attempted. I have tried "resetting" the phone using the power and + volume button, and have also tried the red reset button that is adjacent to the sim card. Failing all of the above "fixes" what is the last resort to restore this phone?
    Unfortuantely I only have access to a mac computer so cannot try a PC.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks 

    Hi there,
    First of all you need to turn off the phone:
    Press and hold "Power Button" and "Volume Up" at the same time for 10 seconds (until you feel 3 vibrations) = Force shutdown.
    Then charge the battery for at least an hour.
    After that follow these steps:
    "The phone should not be connected to the MAC.
    The phone should be off.
    After the Download unzip the file and drag the bridge for MAC icon to the Applications folder. (install then use finder to locate icon)
    In the Main "No phone connected" window, on the top menu (top application menu) Select "Phone" and scroll down to "Repair phone"
    This will open the Phone Software Restore window with the 3 sections for Start, Prepare and Update.
    Click on continue bellow. Doing so will popup a window warning you about the loss of your personal info. Click on the checkmark signaling that you understand the data loss situation,
    This will take you to the Connection Procedure Screen.
    Follow the instructions in the screen and click on continue*.
    *One key aspect of the last step to keep holding the indicated button before and after you connect the phone to the MAC until the update starts. IF this is not done correctly then the phone won't connect to the MAC."

  • The software update failed. And it's not seeing iphone when connected.

    When I logged in it said there was an update for iTunes software. However the update failed. I quit iTunes. I then plugged in my iphone but iTunes is not seeing it.

    Are you able to update iTunes using a .dmg downloaded from the Apple Website?

  • 4S update from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, says Software update failed

    The device is confirmed it is a 4s, but we never upgraded to IOS 8 yet.  I continue to get the Software Updated failed and the close and settings box comes up.  Whichever you click on it goes back to the update screen.  I am on very fast Wifi and the device is plugged in.  Two days ago it said there was not enough space, so we deleted videos and now there is 5.7 GB available.  I tried to update through ITunes, but the internet is too slow at home and it says 20 hours to update.  We tried that twice and after 15 hours the "software update failed" notification comes up.  Any ideas?  I also turned off the phone and turned it back on.

    I would reset the phone - no data loss involved - and try again

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • Hi, I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant, but it always failed with message 'Can't install Windows Support Software because it is not currently available from the Software update server.' Any advice welcome

    Hi,
    I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant but it always fails with message 'Can't install windows software because it is not currently available from the software update server.'
    Anyone else had problems or success with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • 10.7.5 lion server software update failed - whats the cause?

    Hi all,
    I applied the software update for 10.7.5 to my Mac Mini Server, but it looks like it didn't apply correctly.
    Server Admin and Server are unable to connect in order to manage system services, Software Update is not able to identify the packages on the machine and therefore gets hungup when it starts.  System services that were working prior to update are now failing (vpnd, webdav).
    The system identifies itself as being on 10.7.5, but I believe a number of packages were not upgraded.  For example, the Server and Server Admin tools are showing the same modify times as before the update.  This seems to be confirmed by system.log.
    Any ideas how I can get the packages applied?
    In system.log, the following entries were added from the time the update was applied:

    I've done some more digging and it looks like the three packages included in the update have about 4000 files that didn't get installed.  A good number of them are .png or .icns files, but there are whole applications (e.g. VNCServer) that didn't get updated.
    The system is currently in a state where it cannot install software via Software Update or via Installer.
    Any ideas?

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed..I need some support pls!!

    The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
    I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
    My iPhone specs
    Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)
    Model : MD235AE/A

    Did it work for you with iTunes?
    I have the same problem with my iPad mini. I have done almost all updates of my iOS devices OTA.
    I never update issues before.
    Also iPad 2 and iPhone 5 just worked fine.
    Only now my iPad mini struggles with the update. Did a factory reset too.
    And now have iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on an iPad Model MD543FD/A.
    World prefer OTA instead of iTunes.
    Thank you for any help.

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.1. ..I need some support pls!!

    The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
    I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
    My iPhone specs
    Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)
    Model : MD235AE/A

    Try updating by using iTunes via a computer.

  • While updating the software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4 on iPhone 5, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in.

    While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
    Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.
    Regards.
