Hey all,
I am trying to update my father's phone to the 6.1.a.2.55 firmware update. But no matter what I do, it just doesn't go beyond this step in the jpg.
What can I do.everytime i connect the phone, it keeps saying I need the PC Companion. I have downloaded and installed the PC companion 6 times already. Also, when the phone is ON, I can see it. But the moment the phone auto shuts, the computer says 'USB Device not recognized.'
I have a Windows 8 HP AIO Desktop..what is the way forward...
PLZ help...

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.

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

let me try windows 7, instead of windows 8....
In win8 you must turn off "Driver signature check" before instaling drivers.
Search on google, there is planty off tutorials how to do it.
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've got the newest Sony PC Companion (thorugh Update) and my System recognized the phone directly.
Did you tried that approach also?

Is that on windows 7 64 bit?
What do you mean by "through update"? I just downloaded PC companion from the Sony site.

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.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate N so I just downloaded the media player feature pack from Microsoft. Not sure how to get it for other Windows versions though.

start -> control panel -> programs -> turn windows features on or off
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.

If it doesn't work too, then you have to start from scratch for your phone. Please follow my guide step5 to step16.

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!

I installed the drivers once. Everytime I connect the phone via USB to my PC it offers me to install the drivers again (as if I didn't do it the first time).
Howerver, I can access the phone data via the Windows Explorer, I can't see it in Total Commander, though... (I haven't changed any settings).
Try to unplug the phone, restart it, restart your PC, disable any antivirus programs, plug the phone to the PC and open the setup.exe as an Administrator.
