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.

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

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 bought my xperia play 4 days ago and i cant seem to get the usb debigging to work. MTP and MSC work fine, but when i enable usb debugging, all it shows is SEMC HSUSB driver and both MTP and MSC do not work. i have tried instaling the gordon gate drivers, reinstalling pc companion. i'm trying to root my phone (2.3.4) without unlocking the bootloader but i cant do that until i have usb debugging working.
I have found that some PC's just don't like doing it... Do you have another machine that you can test on?
I know on my PC it just won't pick it up correctly, even after reinstalling the drivers (and at one stage Windows and testing on a virtual linux box) and it just fails. I have to use my partners laptop.
thank you for your reply may i know wad os your machine was using? mine is windows 7.
Windows 7 also, but then so is the laptop that I am running on. Not sure what was the problem and just got sick of trying to fix it to be honest

ohh welll.... i just deleted the android sdk manager. i'll try to redownload and reinstall it and the pc companion. if that fails, i'm going to try using virtual box with windows xp. i've been trying for a few days now, hope i can root it successfully without resorting to unlocking the bootloader.
Might be better off setting up a dual boot with XP. Otherwise you can run into problems with sharing the USB slots between the host and virtual machine.
if only i could do that..... btw, do you have any idea how to install the drivers? its a 6mb file from developers world, and i cant seem to find a way to install it.. http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/driver?cc=gb&lc=en
Yep, just extract the files and then when you plug the device in and it's looking for drivers, point it towards the folder that you just extracted. Should do it automatically after that.
If it doesn't look for drivers any more, which can happen if you have connected it in the past, you can open your computer manager (Start -> run -> Compmgmt.msc) then select device manager. Find the device in the list and right click and update drivers. Finally, just select the path to search to be that of the folder that you extracted.
i have tried what you said, but it says it cannot find the driver software for this device. this is with usb debugging enabled. when usb debugging is enabled, both mtp and msc do not work.. the only indication of the device on my com is from device manager.
Which OS do you have ?
64 Bit, or 32 Bit(x86) ?

(3) Once found right click then click browse my computer for driver software (point to the folder where drivers are)

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.

Download latest version of flashtool. During installation, scroll down and make sure you select installation of fastboot drivers. That should work. I had a nightmare of a time trying to get my phone detected in fast boot mode. This method worked for me.

Try this, download and install latest flashtool. Go to the installation directory, find a folder called drivers and run the exe "flashtool drivers". Scroll down and select Xperia Z AND FASTBOOT DRIVERS. Reboot PC and see if your PC detects your phone in fastboot
Also keep in mind, to have adb running, enable Android Debugging on your phone.

You are amazing. I literally spent 2 days trying to figure it out!
I recently acquired a Sony Xperia C6506 (ZL LTE). Before I start playing around with this phone, i need to offload some photos. I'm trying to connect the phone to my laptop running Windows 7 via the USB. My system does not recognize the phone. I'm assuming it's because I don't have the correct driver on my windows system . (I've also tried "PC Companion but had no luck there either). I searched the Sony web site for a driver but did not see a specific one for the C6506. Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver for the USB on Windows 7? Or does anyone have any other ideas why this might not be working?
Thanks
I have the same phone and windows 7 recoginzed it and installed the driver by itself. Didn't remember if it downloaded it or found it from the system. Perhaps you can try the PC companion software from Sony.

What happens when you connect the phone to your PC? Anything? Do you see any messages popping up? Any errors? Do you see it in device manager? Also, do you see any messages on your phone when you plug it in? What USB connection mode is set in your phone's settings? In general, MTP should be the most universal method.
I have the same phone, and it is recognized perfectly by Windows 7 (at work) and Windows 8.1 (at home). When you install Sony PC Companion, it includes the proper drivers, so you don't need to do anything extra (you do need additional drivers for flash mode and ADB, but that's a different topic). I would suggest trying another PC, to see if it makes any difference. If it still doesn't work, it might be something with your phone...
As an alternative, you can use a WiFi connection to access your files on the phone. I often use either ES File Explorer or Software Data Cable - they both provide an FTP service that you can connect to from your PC over WiFi.
Have you tried with another cable? My Xperia is recognized perfectly out-of-the-box on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as soon as I connect it, PC starts to search and download drivers, no PC Companion installed nor Flashtool drivers. :/

Yeah, that would be a good option to start, forgot to mention it. I've seen bad USB cables quite a few times, more often than I'd expect...
Thanks again for the quick replies and the suggestions cause they worked - it was the cable. The cable I was using was capable of charging the phone but did not allow Windows to recognize it. I used a different cable and it worked fine. Tharnks again. Now the fun begins changing the phone into a media playing device. If you have any suggestions on this I'm all ears.
Thanks

Have you enabled oem unlocking from developer options?
I'm having the same problem. After going back to Oxygen OS (now 3.5.4) from MIUI 8 fastboot just doesn't work anymore. ABD works just fine (tried on Minimal ABD and Fastboot on Windows and ABD installed over Android Studio on Ubuntu. Fastboot did recognize the phone on Ubuntu but flashing TWRP resolved in a bootloop (tried the old and the new recovery image).
All drivers are installed on both Windows and Ubuntu (I even removed all drivers on Windows and added them again) and just to make sure everything gets installed I disabled driver signature verification on Windows, but as I said - still no luck.
Edit: Of course USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking is enabled (my bootloader is also unlocked since I already had tried out multiple roms)
Had the same Problem, Win10 is the Problem + the old OP Drivers + the new Update to Win10 etc.
Nothing worked, tryed everything. Created a Thread last week here also...
After that i created a new Partition and installed Win7 on it. All works fine, only thing is while Boot ur System u have to pick ur OS or it waits 30sec to boot up but thats ok.
Now i have Win10 for everything and i reboot to win7 for Fastboot/OP3

Can't solve your problem, but OP3 fastboot does work in Windows 10. I did have to disable driver signature verification to install the driver in the first place, and you'll have to leave it off for the driver to stay functional, but it definitely works on Win 10.
I dont tryed ur Way, so yes after disable Driver sign. it works like u Said but i did not Test it.
i had the same problem to find the correct adb driver spent many hours but it didnt work so after that last i try to update windows 10 and find adb driver there after updating window its work like charm so all u have to do is just connect ur phone with data transfer mode on and search the window automatic updates .
Same here
It's driving me crazy. I've updated from a rooted stock OS (incl TWRP) via full OTA directly to 3.2.7, which removed TWRP and root.
I now cannot enter a Fastboot mode which detects the USB connection. Thus I can't flash TWRP again and can't root my phone, making lots of apps unusable.
I've tried every suggestion on every thread but nothing works...

Yeah that one. After disabling the driver signature verification you have to re install it, when it's not disabled windows just doesn't install it although it says it does. After I disabled it Windows actually showed a completely new window during installation to install the driver properly
