So.. I'm using CM7 at the moment, and I have changed my build.prop from LT15i to LT18i.
STILL it says 'LT15i' on PC Companion when I connect the phone to my computer.
Anyone know how to change this?
Its just a silly thing, but it annoys me quite a bit.
Did you change every occurrence of LT15i to LT18i ?
Yes. Replaced ~8 LT15i's. The marketplace and all the apps knows I'm using a LT18i, its just the PC Companion that still sees it as a LT15i.
Maybe you've to uninstall the PCC on your computer.
Then activate Install PC Companion in Settings - Sony Ericsson - Connectivity settings.
After that connect your phone with your PC and install PCC again with the upcoming prompt.

Hey,
Today i relocked my testpointed arc for firmware upgrade via pc companion. Everything worked great, relock, reboot, connected to pc companion, detected phone and upgrade, the download started and when the preperation for installing starts pc companion just quits the upgrade window and goes to welcome screen of pc companion
I got a notification from pc companion that says the sd-card is not connected, check sim-lock and display-lock. But the sd-card explore window pops up and read/write is working.
Phone status:
Stock FW 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)
Stock kernel
Root and CWM (BackUp Avalible)
Beats mod with Walkman
Conservation.apk mod
As i know this should not affect the upgrade.
Going to try on my private pc tomorrow, but any ideas or tips?

Why dont you go ahead and reinstall PC Companion, i have seen lots of posts where this does the trick Remember to delete the program files folder
PCC and SEUS are pretty redundant since we have the flashtool, its easier just to flash a ftf.

I have this strange problem, that I've had for a while. on plugging my xperia s into the computer PC companion doesn't find the phone no matter what I try. However if I select "Install PC companion " in settings, when I plug the phone in and select the option to install the software it does show up and I can use it fine.
But I would rather not have to do this every time I plug my phone in, is there a way to fix this? If I can remember correctly I had the same issue on GB and I flashed to ICS via flashtools which made no difference...
cheers
I have this problem too actually, I googled it and came across that answer of installing PC companion, which does the job but now I am trying to root the phone and reallly need this fixed so it is able to be rooted
thanks
Try add device under task manager, it'll detect a eerror with xperia s driver. Click fix and it will reinstall the phone driver. It should work afterwards.

under devices and printers? I selected add new device and plugged the phone in but it doesn't find it.
But actually it does show up in that window as 'LT26i' see the photo but when I click on it it doesn't really say anything
Is your device recognized by Windows ? I had the same problem until I installed the drivers. Check the device manager.
Not to say the obvious but did you install the driver package found in flashtool? It's not a button, rather in the folder that contains flashtool.exe there's another folder called drivers. Just run the file.

If nothing works, uninstall the drivers and PC companion. Reboot the PC. Connect the Phone to the PC and let it install PC companion again.
Here is something that worked for me:
go to settings-----storage----seetings----mtp on
after that my computer recognized the phone
I managed to fix the issue, by installing the .55 firmware with full wipe. I had ruled this out as the problem was there when I upgraded from GB to ICS.
But to the OP, if you are still having this issue I would recommend doing that as well. or try @memphis77's suggestion
cheers
Try to reinstall latest version PC Companion again ,and check in Devices and Printers.

I got the drivers installed, but when i connect my Arc S to my computer, the computer doesnt see it. Fastboot or flashmode or normal mode, my computer does not noticed the phone. Thats strange....
Install drivers from "C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe"
Select "Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro IS11S, Xperia acro SO-02C driver"
"Flashmode Drivers"
"Fastboot Drivers"
Have problem to flash lacking of "loader_unlocked.sin"
Go to "C:\Flashtool\devices\R800" copy "loader_unlocked.sin" to your model folder fot example: "C:\Flashtool\devices\LT15"
~~!!!~~
Before flashing, never turn on your phone, and connect to your PC.
Until the sign call you to connect it
Hope this can help you

Go to ''device manager'' in your computer; see if your device drivers are normal; even if it is, I would recommend a complete reinstall of all drivers and programs xperia related. Tell me, are you using Windows 8? If yes, you should now that Windows 8 doesn't install drivers correctly, at least flashtool drivers.
