Phone is not found my computer

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.

Are you holding down the search button before connecting the phone to USB?

Well, When I do it, Windows tell me to install the drivers, but when I choose the folder, it installs and tells me that the installation failed (with the errors)

Just delete the drivers from device manager on PC, then reinstall them from flashtool drivers folder. Make sure to install flash & fastboot drivers from bottom of the drivers selection

Phone [Q] my laptop doesn't recognize my phone (flash mode & fastboot mode)
Try this:
(1) Go to device manager
(2) Plug phone in and look for any changes in your list of devices (maybe under other devices) should have a yellow box with exclamation mark
(3) Once found right click then click browse my computer for driver software (point to the folder where drivers are)
(4) Install from there make sure driver signature is off like instructions above :good:

Use this ( View attachment driver_androidusb.zip )... It will work for Arc S and Other
click Thanks if I Help

still not working...
here is the device status...
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

try to uninstall any Android Emulator programs you have

Check also if both ends of the usb cable are properly connected and intact to phone and laptop.

Install Android SDK, open it, install all drivers with it. That should do the thing, if I remember correctly.

how do you install the drivers using android sdk?

If it's possible for you and not too painstaking, try and format your system, and then do a fresh install. Worked for me when I had a similar problem in the past.

I'm using default.... want to flash first tym

hey you can find driver for fastboot in here http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver. just download it after that connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc and then open device manager and search warning driver. And do driver update, extract the file that you download it before and then you can use this folder for driver update for your windows after update and wait for installation. finish your device fastboot driver has been installed just try it ok, this for windows x64 bit only ok

This may be the solution.

i think so, windows 8.1 can't installed any driver that you want it, if you installing fastboot driver from flashtool they will say only adb driver and flashmode driver has been installed right? it same with me, so you must download fastboot driver in here http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver, after you download it extract file after that connect device in fastboot mode to your pc and then open control panel and open device and printer after search device that still unknown i think it detected S1 boot device after that open that device and do driver update, and choose search from browser, select file that you download it. and choose install, yap and fastboot driver is installed correctly try ok yaa

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.
