Do the drivers work?
Now is the problem updating the firmware?
If that is the problem now, can somebody with an 800i help out, i have the 800x and we don't have such things as MTP

Extracted = installed? Cuz you need to install them on your pc.
Some people have had issues connecting in MTP mode. If you have installed the drivers then try to unmount the sdcard prior to connecting the phone to your pc.

Sorry man now it recognized like a camera dammm android drivers. Any suggestions?

@fast_forious69 i just reread your first post. If you just want root then you should use flashtool to flash the UK generic .184 FW. Then root with gingerbreak and then without doing anything else update OTA to the newest 4.0.A.2.368 (2.3.3). The only way to preserve root when updating is OTA.
Further more you won't be able to root the new firmware if you upgrade without doing the above, unless you also unlock you bootloader. If you just want root there's no need for that imo. You can can always unlock later if you want to do other mods like custom Rom/kernel etc.
Anyway download flashtool and extract it to your desktop. Then install the drivers that comes with the tool (ggsetup.exe). Then download the UK generic .184 FW, extract it and put it in the firmware folder that came with flashtool. Hit x10FlashTool.exe. In the window that opens press flash and choose your FW and then tick 'wipe data' and then ok and just follow the instructions. This will wipe all userdata on the phone apps, bookmarks, sms, saved games states etc.
If you're already on .145 or .184 (2.3.2) then just download gingerbreak and root and then strait after boot update OTA. (I take that you bootloader is locked otherwise don't do any official updates hence it will brick your phone).

Lol then it must be me. Well I'm a guy aswell...
Anyway mate you'll end up with the newest FW update if you follow my guide above (xLoud, themes etc. You won't loose warrenty for using flashtool on the other hand afaik you will when rooting or unlocking bootloader. That can be ereased by unrooting and locking again. Then nobody should know. Atleast i got my device serviced under warrenty that way
Either way you're welcome and you choose what you'll do. If you can't make pc companion work then you'll have the flashtool way to do it...
Regards Dousan...

Hi mate Dousan, i've read your advice but not sure if i'll try to do it the phone is about one month, i've try the firmware way with Pc compainon it says my phone is with the latest update firmware ?!?!?! 2.3.3 wich i confirm in the menu of the Xperia now i'm in a dilema if is really necessary to flash it with the tools you recomend and loose my info contacts, etc... because i cant update the damn phone with sony ericsson OTA backup ! it only backup the bookmarks !!! don't backup my contacts calendar etc.
i've even reinstall Windows XP nothing now is a digital camera (MTP mode) only works acess the phone in MSC mode so only acess the SD card, a bit weird this android phone i've talk with some other guys in another foruns they say windows 7 it's better but my money now is not enough to buy a new pc, just don't no what to do .... maybe take the mobile to the store a see what's better.
by the way is the new things good Xloud new themes etc. ?
thx mate

The xloud is cool, the speakers are nice, loud and crisp now. Good sound. About the themes.. Meh, I only se the background change really, it's not like cm7 theme chooser nor the one I know from HTC. There's some other stuff too, apps and small tweaks. Haven't really gone through the phone and compared.
Well the work lies in flashing with flashtool, then root and then OTA. For me it's no biggie, but then again I've flashed my phones for the last three years now and things has been more complex than this and also easier. All is relative and what is easy for me could be difficult for and vice versa
If you don't feel comfy about doing it then don't. Take it to a certified SE shop and let them do it for you.
Regards Dousan...
Ohh and always glad to help out where I can

Man you are a very good help and a good friend... If one day u come to portugal algarve i buy u a beer....B-)
Or maybe when i go to denmark we go to hard rock café and have a lager..... Eheheh

I know and in the thread are drivers.
If you don't get it - here.

maybe I'm wrong, by phone off, connect the USB while holding the back button, automatically installs the drivers, right?

I don't know that, but look in the device manager if it did.

yeah, ok, the procedure enables the search of the Internet adb drivers (Windows Vista), but these are not found in databases of Microsoft.
So the only way is to install them manually as specified above.

I can tell you tomrrow as it's with my friend now

Were you able to root you device

htc desire 820q dualsim
No this method not work, i tried 3 times.

No rooting guide yet
One on my friend's tried every possible method to root 820q and it always failed. So it would be better to wait until lollipop is released.

Has anyone found a way to root this device???
