i bought my xperia play 4 days ago and i cant seem to get the usb debigging to work. MTP and MSC work fine, but when i enable usb debugging, all it shows is SEMC HSUSB driver and both MTP and MSC do not work. i have tried instaling the gordon gate drivers, reinstalling pc companion. i'm trying to root my phone (2.3.4) without unlocking the bootloader but i cant do that until i have usb debugging working.
I have found that some PC's just don't like doing it... Do you have another machine that you can test on?
I know on my PC it just won't pick it up correctly, even after reinstalling the drivers (and at one stage Windows and testing on a virtual linux box) and it just fails. I have to use my partners laptop.
thank you for your reply may i know wad os your machine was using? mine is windows 7.
Windows 7 also, but then so is the laptop that I am running on. Not sure what was the problem and just got sick of trying to fix it to be honest

ohh welll.... i just deleted the android sdk manager. i'll try to redownload and reinstall it and the pc companion. if that fails, i'm going to try using virtual box with windows xp. i've been trying for a few days now, hope i can root it successfully without resorting to unlocking the bootloader.
Might be better off setting up a dual boot with XP. Otherwise you can run into problems with sharing the USB slots between the host and virtual machine.
if only i could do that..... btw, do you have any idea how to install the drivers? its a 6mb file from developers world, and i cant seem to find a way to install it.. http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/driver?cc=gb&lc=en
Yep, just extract the files and then when you plug the device in and it's looking for drivers, point it towards the folder that you just extracted. Should do it automatically after that.
If it doesn't look for drivers any more, which can happen if you have connected it in the past, you can open your computer manager (Start -> run -> Compmgmt.msc) then select device manager. Find the device in the list and right click and update drivers. Finally, just select the path to search to be that of the folder that you extracted.
i have tried what you said, but it says it cannot find the driver software for this device. this is with usb debugging enabled. when usb debugging is enabled, both mtp and msc do not work.. the only indication of the device on my com is from device manager.
Which OS do you have ?
64 Bit, or 32 Bit(x86) ?

I'm going crazy here. I'm good with all this type of stuff but nothing is working. I want to return my phone to stock so I can exchange it for a new one at verizon. I keep getting the waiting for device error in fastboot. I had this problem a lot with trying to unlock it too. I'm not sure how I ever got it to work. I've downloaded and installed the drivers multiple times and still nothing. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong please?
I'm using windows 7 64bit. The drivers aren't right in device manager.
The drivers are fishy in windows 7 64bit. Download PDA net to your computer. It will install drivers correctly. Sounds weird but it works.

I've certainly noticed that they are pretty messed up on Windows 7. Unfortunately I've already done that and it still doesn't work.
Reboot your computer and plug the phone in and let the drivers try to install automatically, worked for me.
So I installed the driver a different way and it worked fine this time. I'm not really sure why I never tried that way before or why that way worked differently but it did! Thanks for the suggestions.
In what way did you install it? I'm having the same problem and it would be nice for search purposes.
i had issues with drivers on win7 64x, first, it would take for ever once the phone was plugged in, for windows to initially auto-install the drivers (after installing the ones from samsung)....a very long time. but, even after 3/4 of it installed correctly, i hadn't noticed that the Android 1.0 drivers didn't install at all. If you goto control panel->system->device manager, see if there is an alert next to 'Android', if so, open it, choose to manually install the drivers, but don't select a location on your hd, use the list of available drivers already on the computer, find 'samsung', and select the drivers that come up (again, had to download samsung drivers from their site and install that First)
this fixed the issue for me. and nothing like a good ol' reboot too to fix random windows issues : )

thank you!
Hiya everyone! Former Galaxy S2 user here, and now rocking this baby!
as it normally goes... i have a problem ( no **** sherlock ? )
I, for the fu** of me, can't install adb drivers on my pc, no matter what I try...
I'm using Win7 home premium.
Fastboot drivers install well and they always connect, but no matter what I try , the adb ones wont...
Tried mskip's GNEX toolkit method - didn't work
Tried 1wayjonnys universal naked driver - didn't work
Tried pdanet thingy - won't recognize phone - didn't work
Tired manually installing samsung drivers - didn't work
I'm kinda running out of options here, and my head is starting to hurt. Anyone got any clue of what I might be doing wrong ?
Uninstall the drivers you used, and use 1wayjonny's universal naked driver.
1) Download the driver and extract the files to a directory;
2) Boot your device normally, and plug it into your PC (using a good USB cable, like the one that came with your GNex);
3) Open device manager and find your device - it should have a yellow exclamation point beside it;
4) Right-click on it and select Update Driver, and select choose location (or whatever the option is to install it manually, not automatically);
5) Navigate to the folder where you extracted 1wayjonny's driver and select it.
6) Done.
Thanks, managed to do it prior to your reply, trying the naked drivers for tje third time and it worked
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Shows up on my laptop but not on my desktop, have tried back and front USB ports
have uninstalled USB drivers, reinstalled USB drivers (universal adbdriversetup6 downloaded from xda sources)
downloaded android SDK manager and installed whatever USB stuff it had there
used USBdeview to remove any nexus 7 related things and then re-install USB drivers
Cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on... can anyone help me please
When I plug it in my desktop it makes the sound like something got connected... even has the safely remove hardware thing with nexus 7 there, but nothing in my computer
also have tried with/without USB debugging
tried removing my rom and flashing stock etc
Nothing has worked so far
and yes forgot to put in the title but this is for the Nexus 7FHD 2013
Is there a chance you are using usb3.0 port and can switch to usb2.0?
I would suggest you backup, flash stock, and redo your driver deinstall/install on stock. Try to get it working there first. Make sure USB debugging is disable on stock.

Driver instal with WinXP
I went around with this problem after both my Win7 laptop and WinXP desktop both recognized my N7 2013 the first time I connected to them. I had no problem dragging and dropping files.
I had then returned the tab back to BB for a exchange for another. This time after setting up the tab and setting the MTP file toggle and USB settings correctly......The Win7 laptop worked find and recognized the N7 just like it did on the first tab. But now the WinXP desktop did not work and only saw the N7 as a ABD device.
You may already have the correct drivers (if not those are available here in several posts). You just have to direct windows driver update to the correct place for the MTP driver. Here is how i did it.
1. Open up the Device Manager on your PC and locate the Android device it sees. Select the update driver option and you get to the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" screen.
2. In this window it asks "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" Select the 3rd option ' No, not at this time"
3. In the next window "This wizard helps you install software for...." Select the 2nd option "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
4. In the "Please choose your search and installation options" window... go down to the bottom and select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option.
5. Now finally the window we need..... "Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" The "show compatible hardware" button should be selected...if not check that box. You should see 2 choices in the "Model" area..... Google Nexus ADB Interface" and what we need to select " MTP Device" click on the MTP Device and hit next......it should install and your Nexus 7 should then show up properly.
Hope this works for all that have had a hard time as I did....I just found it odd after getting a replacement N7 my XP desktop did not recognize it as it did to the original one I used the day prior.

If nothing else here has helped you solve this issue, check my thread, it should be of some help to you...
I'm having an issue where I can connect to my laptop in debug mode, but I'm not able to connect in the MTP mode with debug turned off. I expected to be able to mount the device storage in either mode.
Is that correct? If so, any ideas? I do notice I can't seem to get the MTP driver to stay in device manager.

I have my new Nexus 5X with Android 6 on it. I am trying to unlock and root.
I have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
I have downloaded and installed the SDK package with Platform-Tools and drivers in the 'Extras' folder.
When first plugging in the phone I install the drivers with the 'Have Disk' and browse method.
Every time, installing the driver returns an Error 'Code 10 - device cannot start. 'Android ADB interface' shows up in device manager when I plug in the phone but with an exclamation point.
I have uninstalled, downloaded fresh drivers from other sources, reinstalled, tried plugging the phone in while in 'recovery' mode (starting by pressing all 3 hardware buttons).
I uninstall every time and reboot both the computer and the phone. The drivers simply won't work.
What is going on here? Is the phone/Android 6 still too new to unlock and root?
P.S. I should also say that I go into Developer options and change the Select USB Configuration between PTP and MTP (between which, I have not seen mention of the correct choice. Does it not matter?) - I cannot chose the others RNDIS, Audio Source, or MIDI; it seems to want to default to 'Charging' when I try to change to these choices.
Having the same issues on Windows 8.1. Can't get my 5x to connect to transfer files or to show up in adb.
Just need the right drivers. Download the driver files from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e43knzpxvr9hzqi/AAC7Yiz8EShMpFiMkClPpkC5a?dl=0
1. Then with the phone plugged in and in PTP mode go into the device manager on your PC.
2. You'll probably have an Android device listed with an exclamation point showing. Right click on it.
3. Pick update driver.
4. Pick browse my computer for driver software.
5. Then pick "let me pick from a list of device drivers.
6. Then pick have disk.
7. Navigate to the folder you downloaded and select android_winusb
8. Let it install and you should be ok

I was running into the same issue. The problem is you need to install them first as an ADB Interface Device (not composite) with the phone on and plugged in. From Device Manager choose the Google | Android ADB Interface (not the composite one. I saw another reference to making sure it's in PTP mode which may force it to this one as well but I didn't test). Then when you get into FastBoot mode on your phone and plug it in you can go through the same Update Driver steps and choose the "Android ADB Interface" for it as well when it shows the Nexus 5 with the yellow triangle. Then you should be good to go.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. Part of it is I did so many different approaches they've bled together in my head and I was on my way out the door yesterday when I fired off the reply.
To try to break it down from memory (going to throw in a couple of different options since I can’t seem to fully uninstall / reinstall so please provide any corrections once you get it to work or let me know if anything doesn’t match what you find and I’ll try to remember from there):
Phase I (phone on and connected to computer):
Open Device Manager. My phone shows as Android Device | Android Composite ADB Interface or Android ADB Interface.
If it is the Composite version, I believe I had to update it to the straight “Android ADB Interface to get Phase II to work)
If you don’t see that, look to see if you have any uninstalled devices by scanning for new. If so, then right click on that device, and choose “Update Driver”
Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
Choose the “Have disk” option and browse to your USB Driver folder
From there, choose “Google | Android ADB Interface”
Phase II (phone in recovery connected to computer)
On phone, choose “Update device from ADB”
Open Device Manager and you should see the Nexus 5 under Other Devices with the yellow triangle.
Right click on it and “Update Drivers”
Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
Choose “Let me pick from a list….”
Choose “Android Device”
Choose “Android ADB Interface”
Now you should be able to push the update over
Simple method: What I did was plug it in and wait for it to show up in device manager. Then I deleted the device (the one that shows adb) from device manager. Then I unplugged the device and plugged it back in... Then waited for drivers to install on it's own. Everything was good after that.
I have no trouble other than on Windows 10. Windows 10 doesn't even show the drivers from a list to install.

I have no trouble with Fastboot or adb. It only happens when I try and sideload. I end up have to use my Macbook Pro to sideload.

I wish it were that easy. But, no, this does not work. Nor do I believe my issue is the same as you others here, as I have Windows 7 and not the 8.1 and 10 issues that you are having.
No, no matter what driver I use, including any from your kind link, bsinc1962, they return an error, code 10 when trying just to install the drivers. I cannot go further.
What is this Code 10 error preventing drivers from installing?
