I’m using Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc to illustrate android os updating procedure.
Goto phone settings -> About Phone -> Software update -> Update; It informs you to install update via your computer!
Now goto your computer install software(pc suites) and try it; once again it shows some connection error messages and other frustrating error messages 🙁
So does your Sony Xperia doesn’t support os updation? It certainly does.
Install some fashing software; follow some procedure; after that you can directly update your phone OS at settings -> About Phone -> Software update -> Update; via wi-fi or 3G.
PART 2: Once you are done with PART 1. Goto your phone settings -> About Phone -> Software update.
Now hit update. It may show error connecting to the network for some time.
In such situation, switch off and switch on your Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc.
Repeat the process, and hit “Update” button.
Once the update starts, relax and sit back. It will take some 15min to download. After that it will show a message that your mobile can not be used(even to make emergency calls) while its installing the updates.
Click Ok. and relax again. It will take some 20 to 30 min to install the updates.
Phone will be switched off and switched on. You need not interfear until its completely installed.
Once the installation is complete: Again goto settings -> About Phone -> Software update. and click on “Update”.
It will search for updates and in my case it installed some more new updates once again. So check it.

The best option would be to take the phone to a service center and get the update done for you.
