Hey guys,
My lovely Xperia S just got here on friday and I've tried to root it. However, the problem is that when I plugged it to my PC, the SEMC driver wasn't installed correctly, and now it just won't no matter the USB port I plug the device into.
I've read here on XDA that for the driver to be installed correctly now, only by restoring the phone. And I really don't wanna do that right now... Is there any other way around? Does someone know where I can download the ADB Driver for the S?
Thanks a lot!
Download and install flashtool from HERE and install drivers in C:\Flashtool\drivers or your installed directory.
It didn't work. And I'm using the latest flashtool (0.9.9.0)..
As soon as I plug my phone to the PC and it goes trying to install the driver, the phone boots up to the charging image (the little battery). And I'm pressind the volume down key, the green light shows up and everything, but the phone starts and the process ends...
If you haven't installed pc companion yet, try that or Sony update service. They install drivers when phone is connected

Once with my x10 I had to install android sdk just to get the drivers to work. It is a big install but it might save you from resetting the phone

Check THIS drivers. Maybe the drivers from phone is erased. So try this drivers.
Android SDK os also installed with all the drivers.
I'll try this Sony one! Where should I put them?
Extract the file somewhere like desktop. Right click Computer on desktop > Manage > Device Manager Find there is something like "Sony ******" when the phone is connected. Maybe there is yellow mark. Right click it > update driver software > Browse my computer for driver software > Browse (Select the folder you extracted) and install the drivers. Do this and let me know whether it is working or not.

It says "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date. MTP USB DEVICE"
Try to uninstall it then re-install the drivers.

It's probably that. I just installed it on my notebook and it was successfully recognized.
Where are the drivers located, so I can wipe them all?
You can uninstall it by right clicking "Sony ******" And try to re install.

There's no Sony sa0103 on my device manager. I should manually delete the files (if there is any...)
It should be there when the phone is connected.

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.
my laptop does not recognize my phone in either flashmode or fastboot mode, i tried sing pc companion and flashtool drivers but it does not fix the problem. maybe im doing something wrong, can you guys help me in step by step?

there's no error in installing the drivers, the status is "device not found"

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

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.

Tried to connect my phone to a Windows 7 64bit PC using the USB cable but Windows couldn't find the device driver for D5503. I found these from the Sony site and downloaded them but I couldn't install them manually either. Anyone managed to gracefully connect this to a PC?

I have a Win7 64Bit System. I have not yet tested on Win8.1 64bit, but will do in the next days.
"Through Update" means, that my (already installed) PC Companion had informed me for an updated version 1-2 weeks ago and I've installed it.
So last Friday I just plugged the Z1C and it the driver was installed and I was able to use my phone on the computer.
If you installed the PC Companion after you connected your phone, than you might have to remove the device within the device manager. After a reboot it should work. At least my experience with other Sony devices.

check in list for Media Features, Windows Media Player should be there, enable it and it will automatically install.
OT: Im on win7 64bit. No problems at all. I did not have Pc companion installed before, but i installed it before connecting my phone for the first time.
just bought a xperia z1 compact, plugged into PC, didn't work.
found this thread, installed PC companion etc... still doesn't work. Windows 7 64bit just shows it with a yellow triangle in the device manager?!
I try to connect through PC companion and it does nothing, just sits there.
Please help!?:good:
Please read... It says that they manage to solve the issue by installing Windows Media Player.

I read that. But I have windows media player installed. Who doesn't on a Windows pc, its default?
I have it working on laptop, will give up with the PC.
Same problems as described above.
Following worked for my PC: (I have a Dutch windows (7, 64) and translated the following commands in English. So it is possible that these commands are named different in the English windows version.)
Go to device manager, right click on D5503 (with the yellow triangle), Search for device on my computer (second option), I want to choose from the driver list on my computer, uncheck view compatible hardware, standard MTP device, MTP USB device.
The Phone has to be set on MTP in the USB connection setting to use it with PC companion
Same issue here, any ideas?
USB debugging and MTP already worked successful, but now it's not working anymore.
Following situation:
If I disable USB debugging and plug USB cable into PC then nothing is shown in Windows Explorer and even not in the device manager. The field "MTP" is greyed out/disabled in XPERIA connectivity -> USB connection.
If I enable USB debugging, phone says "connected" however Windows is showing yellow triangle. I tried to download the drivers from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z1-compact-driver/ but Windows doesn't detect them.
If I try to uninstall the drivers right click on D5503 (with yellow triangle) nothing happens.
Phone reset the only idea?
Ok, I got it.
Just added the following lines to android_winusb.inf:
Code:
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&MI_01

Hi there, I'm having the same problem. I've installed the CWM recovery, but stupidly didn't check that I could access the phone over USB beforehand. Now I'm stuck with a continuously rebooting phone, and windows says it can't install the Sony driver.
When you said you added the above two lines to the android_winusb.inf file, what did you mean? I found this file in the
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\android_winusb.inf_amd64_neutral_d58a98da913cec3a
folder, but couldn't edit it, even as admin.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Ok, I installed the driver on a notebook and was able to get a ROM (CM 11 M8 snapshot) loaded to /sdcard. But after I installed from zip, I'm still stuck in a boot loop to CWM recovery.
Anyone know how to get out of this?

If you can install PC Companion then it should be fine, the correct z1c driver will be installed for your windows and Adb will work normally. But just some people never can install PCC successfully and they will need to modify their android_winusb.inf to add two lines and let your windows to recognize your Z1c.

Alternative way is to install Xperia driver set but I have never tried this method.

If you stuck in a boot loop with wrong recovery(I just tried it today). I'm afraid you have to flash a .ftf and clean all things out. At first, you can try to boot into fastboot mode(you will need to make sure your adb works) and try to flash other custom recovery and wish no boot loop again.

I went back to the previous snapshot, and that worked. Phone is up and running now.
Having said that, I'm sure I'll get myself into a mess like this again, so your links will be very useful!
Thanks.
Anyway, I have been using Flashtool today, and I used that flashtool drivers installation wizard to install those drivers, but i checked all of them(i should have only checked flashmode and fastboot), so now I would like to uninstall those that I don't need. I tried to look in device manager, I even checked it with show hidden devices option, but I haven't found any of those(except sony so0104 adb interface driver, I'm not sure should I uninstall that one). Where can I find them and how can I remove them?

Why do you want to remove them anyway?
And you need to install atleast one of them according to your phone model else your device won't get recognized.

Anyone got P8000 to detect correctly in Windows 10?
At first my W10 refused to install driver package cause of driver signing, which was expected,
so i restarted W10 in mode without driver signing and run through the installation without problems.
Still nothing at all happends though when i connect my P8000 via USB to computer...
* Checked USB cable and port
* Checked that USB debugging is on in Dev-options
Suggestions? Anyone else tried?
I experienced the same. It seems like the P8000 requires an additional driver when it connects in off-mode. Never found a solution for it in Win10, so I used an old computer with Win7. That worked like a charm
I got the drivers working on Windows 10. I'm not quite sure what steps are needed but these worked for me:
-Download and install the driver package. The Drivers where extracted to the specified folder, but Windows wasn't able to install them.
-Reboot the PC.
-Open the device manager and plug the P8000 in while it is off.
-Under other devices, there should be an entry called MT65xx Preloader. Click on it and select "Update drivers"
-In the following window, select "Browse for driver software" and browse to the folder where the drivers where extracted in the first step.
-Confirm the selection and the warning message.
After this, you should get a message that Preloader USB VCOM was installed and flashing should work.
P.S: Now, what would also be interesting would be flashing with linux. But I don't think this is possible yet.
restarted W10 in mode without driver signing, installed again, restarted, connected phone when it's on, connected phone when it's off... Not sure what made the difference but now it's working
