Question for Devs - dsixda Kitchen - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was setting up a working folder and, towards the end, my PC switched off. I think it finished because in the working folder all the files seemed to be there.
Just in case something was missing I started from the beginning but the PC shut down at the same point.
Now the PC doesn't recognise any USB device plugged into it. In fact it doesn't even show a USB not recognised message and my phone doesn't acknowledge any connection, which it used to even when my PC was playing up.
Has this ever happened to anybody using the kitchen?
I restored the PC to a recent restore point which fixed the PC turning off when using the kitchen but not the USB problem.

I just remembered I have another USB port that I don't use cos it's too slow and there's only one. Trouble is, even though I put my phone in fastboot mode (the light turns blue), Flashtool says I'm in flash mode.
How do I make it go to fastboot mode? All the drivers are on the PC somewhere.

I need to BUMP this with the emphasis on how I get my phone in fastboot mode. I had no problem til my main USB thingy decided it doesn't want to work anymore, so I know I've installed everything necessary (drivers, files, etc...).
I'm currently on a kernel that doesn't have recovery so I'm a tad desperate. I need fastboot mode.

Turn phone off hold the search button in for a few seconds then while still.holding the button down connect your phone to your pc the notification led should light blue if so your in fastboot to get out just take the battery out or disconnect the cable
Hope this helps

It turns blue but Flashtool says I'm in flash mode. It worked in my other, now-broken USB bit.

make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and then try going into the settings and in the top section that is wireless and networks press more, then USB utilities, and press connect storage to PC and then plug your phone into the computer. had about the same problem and came across that.
You can also try going into your device settings on your pc (samsung/modem) and resetting the driver it seems to get "stuck" sometimes.

+1 to this... its the new way to connect
I put this on my sd card (by taking the card out of the phone) and putting it in a card reader. I flashed the file from the stock recovery and this gave me custom recovery. Then I restored my previous backup. I was having the same issue and FB21 has too many bugs. I went back to gingerbread but kept fb21 modem.
You can actually get MTP working quite simply...

To use USB MTP you have to unmount SD Card first then plug in.

Did this and that got my computer to acknowledge I had connected my phone but not it says unrecognized, so I'm going to uninstall kies and then reinstall again and see if that helps

Help: Computer detects in DL mode, but not booted up?

My computer won't detect my Epic 4g when it's powered up, with either Debugging enabled or disabled. BUT, it does detect it when the phone is in Download Mode.
I have tried several different cables on all my usb ports. And the cable and port that I am currently connected with works perfectly on my other Epic 4g...
I wanted to root this Epic, but couldn't get computer to recognize it. When I plug it in when phone is powered up, I get no notification in the sys tray, nothing new shows up in device manager, no new drives show in My Computer, Odin doesn't recognize any devices.
So I put phone into DL Mode, plugged it in, and the computer recognized it, installed drivers, and Odin installed both Kernal-GB-3a and ACSRecovery1.0.0.5 successfully!
But when I boot the phone back up in order to copy the Superuser zip file onto SD card, same problem as before... Whether I click "Connect storage to PC" on phone or not, computer doesn't acknowledge.
Any advice?
(phone was on stock EL30 prior, fyi)
Thanks!
Remove ur current drivers and reinstall them manually. Www.samsung.com/support.

This happened to me with my 2 Epics, one connected the other did not. Had to reinstall the drivers...weird.

when you allow windows to automatically install the drivers, it doesn't always install the drivers properly. but when you manually install them, the installation process assures that they are ALL installed properly.
My epic asks if Iwant to connect to usb storage before the pc "sees" it

[Q] R800i not being detected via USB[SOLVED]

As the title says basically
My phone will charge from the wall socket but I'm not getting any notifications when I attach it to my netbook. It fails to install the MTP drivers as well. I've had to resort to using a USB MicroSD adaptor when I need to copy files over but its starting to become annoying now.
Anyone have any idea how to get the USB functionality back to my device?
i would like to know too. I just flashed doomkernal and i cant get wifi to work, (even after enabling wifi in the build.prop) and it fails to install drivers when i connect it to my computer, i cannot enter mass storage mode.
Solved.
I flashed BLENDMIUI

Please, correct name of the thread
It said xparia s
Have you.tried on different OS, winXP.
I'm using fastboot and flashtool on win7 but sometimes win7 cause these issues.
Install flashtool, go to folder where it's installed and open folder drivers.
You'll see exe file (can't remember name) open and install drivers for XS (scroll down) and you'll see fastboot and flashtool drivers install them too.
Restart PC, turn your phone off.
Then plug usb cable in to phone (only phone) press and hold vol up and connect other side of usb cable to your PC and wait a few seconds.
It should be recognized now.

If I'm not wrong u will have to put some rom in your internal memory and flash it with custom recovery. Find a way to do that and best of luck.

Thanks for your reply but i am looking looking for a way to put some rom in the internal memory of the phone as there is no card slot in the phone. And it would be really appreciated if anyone can help me.
what I recommend is, download a stock rom ftf (.96 maybe) put you phone is flash mode and then flash it using flashtool and voila!

Window 7 home basic.
Dude its not recognized because of the drivers, either try to download the drivers for your phone separately and install them on your computer, try to change the USB cable and must use the cable that came with the phone, try connecting it to a different computer, install ADB on the computer and check the device by giving the ADB device detect command (this will only work if you have ADB drivers on your computer for the device... I guess this should help you.

1. Download & install flashtool with its drivers
2. Download .96 firmware (ftf)
3. Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware directory
4. Run flashtool, click on flashmode () and choose your ftf from the list then click on next or ok or something
5. Power off your phone
6. While you connect your usb press volume down button
7. Then the pop up window Will close and the installation will begin
8. When it's done it will write: plug down your phone and turn it on etc etc.
If it's difficult, try to reinstall with Sony companion

The problem i am facing when i am trying to install ftf file using flashmode is, my phone only stays in flashmode for few second and jumps out of it and shows opensemc logo and all process finished. And same thing with sony pc companion, phone shows up in it for few seconds and then it disconnect automatically.

I just had to deal with this myself. You should plug the device into the computer with the device off. Turn it on and let it try to boot and Windows should try loading the driver for it. Hold power and volume up just long enough for the screen to go off and unplug it.
If your drivers are loaded you should be able to go into recovery, mounts and storage, and mount the sd card with it plugged into the computer. It should mount and you can put a rom on the sd and flash.
If it will not mount then your drivers are still not installed. If ftf is the way you want to go then load flash tool and plug in the device while off holding volume down. It should recognize the device. It will not stay in flash mode long. Best way is set up your flash and once ready plug the device in. Hope you get it going again as I am sure you will. Just be patient :good:
Hopefully this will help
First of all use Windows 7 32-bit
Most probably it is a driver related issue.
Download latest flashtool and install all the drivers.
Also check weather you have automatic updates of Windows are ON.
Check in the device manager if all the devices connected are recognized.
When you connect the phone to PC does it show any message or feedback sound.
While using the flashtool use flash mode, also when asked to reboot in flashmode carryout the following steps
Unplug the phone.
Switch it off/ If already switched off make sure it is completely off no icon nothing.
then connect the phone and switch on by holding both Vol Up and power button, you will see green LED glow.
