Try to reinstall drivers, different usb cable or different/back usb ports

Pc companion might install the drivers automatically..

Is device manager in PC report anything when you connect your phone?
Did you tried at different PC?
Try to gently shake micro usb jack while connected to see is it possible to make any contact...
If you have wifi router, you can use app "adb wireless" from play store to access your phone from PC, but for flashing kernel, you'll need working fastboot or flash mode...

Flashing kernel is only possible in fastboot or flash mode. No other way.
Unfortuantelly, you are stuck on kernel you are using now.
Maybe your phone's usb jack is damaged.

Fastboot stopped working

I have happily used fastboot several times. It now will not work. I am running SE Tweaked 0.7 with Blendkernel V2 (I want to go and try DoomLords V15). My PC is running XP. I have tried downloading various drivers but I always get ounkown device when I plug in in fastboot mode (blue light on). When I go into device manager and point to the correct drivers windows says they are no better. I have repeated the whole issue on another PC and the same happens.
This is the first time I have tried fastboot on Blenkernel so is this the issue? As it is the same on two PCs (one of which was working before) I can only guess it must be the phone but how the f can this be? Any ideas much appreciated as I thought I had updating things on the Arc cracked.
Is the fastboot button working in normal phone use?
Sorry to sound even more like noon but what us the Fastboot. Button?

Um the button you use to connect to fastboot...
Let me change mu question above,
Is the menu button working in normal phone use?
Yep all buttons are working correctly. As I said I can get the phone into fastboot mode but I can't get the PC to see it.

I had the same problem,
Try using another usb cable.
I had the same problem and solved by changing the usb cable.

isolate also by trying another pc. sometimes the drivers get messed up especially if you tinker alot with your pc.
I will try a new cable. I tried a new pc and it was no good.

Also some users reported problems when they connects cable 1st phone USB port and second end THEN pc USB port....
Problem seems that, USB port then 1st switch power and after that data and then pc don't recognizes your phone.

I'm now having this problem, did you solve it?
Installed Doomkernel, now no luck with Fastboot.
Tried a different cable, and re-installing the drivers.
Phone goes into Fastboot mode but doesn't work.
edit: fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version returns version: 0.3
Nothing else seems to do anything, just get < waiting for device >

[Q] USB connection not working

Hi,
All of a sudden my gio decided not to support USB anymore.
When I connect it, no mass storage thing appears on the phone, and in windows (windows 8 and 7) there are no signs of any device being connected either.
Even ODIN doesn't find it when it's in download mode, although I do have the drivers from sammobile installed.
Except for this the phone is operating normal, and it still charches propperly (which goes through USB too ).
Any ideas? I don't really need the USB connectivity right now, but in case I want to flash back to a stock rom I do need ODIN to work.
Thanks in advance,
Stannieman
Have you covered the basics yet (try another cable, try on another pc etc). Seems to me like a faulty cable or faulty usb port, either on phone side, either on pc side.

My external hdd works with the same cable on the same pc and same usb port. I have tried all ports. Mass storage also doesn't work on a macbook pro, though I don't know for sure if it is supported on OS X but I suppose it should work. Different cable doesn't work either.
It's not the cable and not the pc.
So I think in the luckiest case it's the connector in the phone?
Friday I'll open it, there's some annoying piece of dust on my screen also so I can take that out too + check for the connector.
In this case, yes, you may be right about the phone's port; remember, even if it's somehow flawed, it could still charge - maybe only the data pins are the problem. Hopefully, it will be only some dust blocking the connection, and not something worse...
Good luck!
If the connector is detached from the board then it's also doable (very careful of course), otherwise it won't ever work anymore.
I can't take it to the shop you see, I can't flash a stock rom...
Try trough cwm--->mount & storage -----> mount usb

Thanks, but doesn't work.
I've had problems with charging one day, but after an hour of trying (unplugging and replugging) the cable it started charging again. Never had charge problems after that.
Actually, I don't know if data ever worked after that. Now I think about it I never tried data connection since then.
Usually when I flash a new custom rom I always flash the latest stock to have latest baseband and other things that aren't changed by the custom rom install (I like having the newest ). That's the only thing I use usb for (and photo's but not anymore with cm9 without preview).
I think it's the usb connector from the phone.
stannieman go to the shop where you bought it and ask if they can look at it
I returned home yesterday and tried connecting to the desktop. Guess what?... it worked.
I don't understand why, as the hardware of my notebook didn't change and it always worked. I tried windows 8 rp and windows 7 (windows 7 used to work for sure), but nothing on my notebook. On the desktop it works just fine with windows 8 cp.
So I think we can conclude that either it's my notebook + macbooks don't work together with android, or that our desktop has magical powers.

First charge your phone for a while, then download flashtool and sony xperia s official firmware.
As your phone is switched off, press and hold volume down button and connect it to the pc, green led will turn on,then flash your phone with flashtool.
I always use this method when i brick my xperia s.

Try installing PC Companion or/and Sony update service and maybe you could use one of them to recover and install stock rom again
Or if you can't install it using PCC or sus, try flashtool again, because the two sony programs will install drivers , too

I have exactly the same problem with 2 of my xperia S'es. I really want to fix this issue, because it's beginning to be expensive to buy one after the other. Always going into this without really knowing why.
Neither PC Companion, Sony Update Service, or Emma work to recover....

[Q] R800at BootLoop

I have an Xperia play stuck in a boot loop I've searched everywhere and tried flashtool and Sony Pc companion but neither have worked. In flashtool I've already downloaded the .ftf loaded it in to the firmwares folder not to mention installed the Xperia play drivers. The main issue here is I can't boot into either fastboot or flash mode the phone is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting to the computer rendering any attempts useless. I've tried running a few commands through cmd but it only reads "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Booting it normally reaches the Sony Ericsson screen before it seems like the backlight shuts off then restarts. I say the backlight shuts off because I can still see the logo in the right light. Any help is appreciated.
Ps. I have not unlocked the bootloader nor installed a custom rom cwm is not installed either.
Try different usb cable and/or back usb ports of PC. But it might be hardware or even battery error...

Thanks for the reply I tried other cables and ports with no luck. It would be worth noting that before the device went into boot loop the touch screen had stopped responding and the 4 android buttons did not work. The gamepad was still functional. This is probably why I'm not able to boot into flash mode is there anything I can try(replace) to fix this other than calling it dead. Maybe a cable is being pinched by the sliding mechanism?

Well, touchscreen and front buttons mallfunction is classic sign of damaged slider flex cable. But i am still puzzled why it can't connect to PC normally. You could try and replace flex (it shouldn't be much expensive - even cheaper if you do it yourself) and see will that fix PC error.
For now, you could try to enter in flash/fastboot mode with slider open

Root again, maybe you use restore backup app but not Rooted before.
Root it using "Root tool" application. Then install optimus G recovery apk from the forum...and reboot recovery . then use 3 wipes and reboot. After reboot connect usb cable.

I faced the same problem with my F180s.
To fix this annoying bug, just connect your phone via a USB hub.
Change your connection to anything like [MTP] or [LG software] (I prefer the later).
Then unplug and plug your cable between USB hub and PC, do this a few times and your phone will vibrate, which means that your phone is now connected.
now the phone full rooted, but the USB still cant connect to my computer. ady try other cable/computer, reinstall driver. it only detect slowcharging, not MPT option (ady change in setting-pc connection+enable debug too)
