I have never gotten USB 3.0 transfers to work on my note. Not on stock or any other rom, it says its connected, drivers install, and then it promptly stops "functioning" when i try and transfer a file.
What have been your experiences with USB 3.0 on this phone?

Hey,
I have been looking on the internet for this for hours, no solution found, but found a lot of people with this problem.
My laptop (windows 8) only has USB 3.0 ports, no USB 2. Appearently it seems to be impossible to update a Sony phone via computer by connecting it to a USB 3.0 port. During the process, the phone shuts down automatically, and when it reboots, it is no longer recognized by the computer (it should reboot in flash mode, but it doesnt). I've tried both PC Companion and Sony Update Service, both give the same result.
The solution I did find on the internet was: try connecting via USB 2. I dont really have another computer available, tried it on someone else's laptop, which was a very old one, this gave me an error, probably because of other problems with the laptop.
My question is, is there ANY other way to make this update work via USB 3? And preferably a way that is understandable for someone with minor knowledge about the technical aspects involved
Thanks
My laptop has 3 USB 3.0 Ports and 1 USB 2.0 port. I've been always using my Xperia Ion with the USB 3.0 port and it works fine with flashtool as well. Try a different cable.

Oh... thats nice (for you). However, it doesnt work for me, with neither usb port, as is the problem for a lot of other ppl appearently...
I only have 1 cable, so cant try another one, the cable is not the problem though I guess. Since in all cases the cable works fine and the phone is recognized by the computer, except at the moment it should reboot in flashmode when reconnectint it to the laptop (during updating). Googling the problem yields alot of ppl having this problem, only nowhere a clear solution...
I've been trying to go through the update process for 10 times now, just doesnt work
Hello.
I bought this OTG cable and it arrived today. My D855 is on stock 5.0 and usb debugging is turned on. I tried inserting a USB 3.0 pendrive, but it doesn't get recognized in the stock file manager. Am I doing something wrong or what? Do I need to download ES File Explorer? If possible, I'd prefer not rooting or placing custom ROMs on the phone as it's my dad's.
Yes it should work just out of the box, anyway, here are some steps that can do for you case,
1. That Otg Adaptor is for USB 2.0, it should normally work even for USB 3.0. (USB 2.0 has a 4 pin connector, where USB 3.0 has a 5 pin connector.)
Usually USB 3.0 devices are retrocompatible with 2.0, as you can see in the pins there are 4 pins at the beggining and 5 pins through the end.
So my advice is this, try another 2.0 just to be sure.
2. Usb debugging is not necessary, actually it can cause problems, better disable it
3. Use a file manager, Es file explorer used to be great, today not that great but still does it job
PM me if you need more help
I have a replacement cable.
I tried plugging in my device in my laptop using USB 3.0 port but it only charges my phone, it doesn't detect the MTP to transfer files. But when I tried plugging it in in the USB.. 2..0 port, MTP works.
My question is, is this because of the cable? Or is the A5 not supported by USB 3.0?

Mine works on a USB 3.0 port.
USB 3.0 should be backwards compatible to USB 2.0, so I think it's the cable. Maybe you could try again on a different pc? Just to be sure.
If you're using Windows check your device manager to see what it says, maybe a specific usb driver is needed?
i have same problem.

Had this issue on my previous PC that my 5T would only connect via USB in a USB 2.0 port. Thing is my new PC is 3.0 and 3.1 only. I've no 2.0 ports. How do I get it connected without going over network? All it does it charge. I've set to MTP in developer settings already.
Edit: Nevermind, got it working.

So ok, Odin is the only way to go. Everything you have to flash/upgrade, you do it by Odin. Ok...
But, Odin's compatibility? WTF !
I have a notebook with 3 USB ports. All of them are 3.0 USB. None of these ports works with Odin (apparently Odin does not support 3.0 USB ports).
Ok, no problem. My mother has an old notebook, with some 2.0 USB ports. It also doesn't work... Tested with three other notebooks and nothing...
But, my mom also has an old "All In One" computer, apparently with some 1.0 and 2.0 USB ports. This is the only computer that I have access that works with Odin.
So here I am, having to keep a huge box in my bedroom, with an old computer, in case I ever need to use Odin...
So tell me, is this normal? Are you guys able to use Odin with 3.0 USB ports? I want to get rid of this huge box and be able to use Odin freely, in any computer.
Also, I'm using the official cable, the correct Odin version (3.14.1 and 3.14.4), installed all the Samsung Drivers, uninstalled Kies, tried with USB-C to USB-C cable and got nothing...
Whenever I flash something, Odin detects my phone, but I get stuck in "SetupConnection...", with the error "Can't open the serial (COM) port."
The only computer that this error does not occur is in this old computer that I have..

Thanks...
Sounds more like you don't have the correct drivers installed on the other machines, it works fine on USB3.0 ports here
I use Odin with USB3 ports. Done it today and yesterday, using 3.14.1
