Welcome on the forum
First of all: please post questions in q&a section, not in general. This will keep the forums clean!
Then: You can try updating using PC Companion (that doesn't work according to what you said) or Sony Update Service, if both programs don't work, download the stock rom (it's a .ftf) for your xperia active (Android 4.0.4: 4.1.B.0.587) and use flashtool to flash it :good:

Okay you can download the 4.1.B.0.431 for your xperia active here
Then you flash the .ftf like explained in the guide here. After flashing, boot your phone and go through the setup. Then search for updates with the UpdateCenter app and update to .587!
Then you can use this program to root and you are done :good:

I'm not sure, maybe it's because of the baseband. Which baseband version are you using?

I'm not sure because I couldn't find a newer baseband, you have to search for it and maybe try another baseband, could help
