Follow all the steps properly it will work , also make sure adb drivers are installed (If u install Sony PC Companion and connect ur phone with usb debugging on ,adb drivers are automatically installed) also when before executing runme_win.bat , make sure u exit all other adb related program like Sony PC Comapnion , Flashtool ,etc.

I've done all that.

when u connect ur phone with usb debugging on , right click on my computer, Click on Manager , then go to Device Manager , see ur phone is listed , if u see a yellow exclamation mark (!) , then u dnt have adb drivers or if you see Sony , see the image below for more detail :

I was sitting there, wondering why this was happening to me. Then I realized I was plugged into my AC charger, not the USB cord connected to the computer...
