[Q] My PC doesn't detect my arc s

Hi, I just bought this phone, yesterday I connected to my PC for the first time, and my pc detected it, but now my PC can't detect it.
Any idea? thanks

in which mode you trying to connect?

I don't know, i just connect the USB lol.

It's solved!
The first thing I noticed is that my other computer detect the mobile always without the software "PC Companion".
I downloaded PC Companion and I installed it in to the PC were the mobile can't be detected, then I turned off the mobile and connected it to the pc, after it I turned it on and I selected an option in the mobile to connect automatically, then the PC detected it and it's working really good.

[Q] Xperia S Bricked?

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.

C:/flashtool/driver
Open usb_driver.exe
Choose all the drivers you need (Xperia S drivers, flashmode driver & fastboot mode driver)
Your laptop should be able to detect your phone now.

can i connect my zenwatch with pc by bluetooth?

i want to connect my watch to pc because i dont have android phone

Boot your PC with android-x86 (from a USB drive)

You could pair it with a pc but all it would do would be connect and disconnect. No data will transfer between the two and none of the useful features of the watch will work.

Windows doesn't detect Z1C in flashmode

Hi
I want to flash a system through Flashtool to my Xperia Z1 Compact. I've installed the drivers and connected the phone in flash mode. But Windows says that "USB device is not recognized". In devices manager the Xperia is showed as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I tried to connect to another usb ports or with other usb cables. I also tried to update drivers of USB Hubs (by clicking on them and selecting Update driver). I also tried to install the drivers straight from Sony Developer Site. I also installed Xperia Companion. Nothing helps.
Repairing software via Xperia Companion is impossible because of that.
I tried to install drivers again for at least 5 times. After that installer says this:
Sony (WinUSB) sa0109AdbDeviceClass 05/13/2013 2.0.0010.30018 - Ready to use
Sony Net (5/13/2013 6.0.6000.16501 - Not need (no devices to update)
Google, Inc. (WinUSB) AndroidUSBDeviceClass (12/06/2010 4.0.0000.00000 - Ready to use
Sony Mobile Communications (ggsomc) USB (11/10/2014 3.1.0.0) - Ready to use
It's weird because my other Xperia (Xperia L) is recognized without any problems.
Is there any solution to that problem other than installing a clean copy of Windows?
Computer Specification (maybe useful):
Windows 10 Home 1803 64-bit
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GeForce 1060 Ti
AsRock B450 Fatl1ty Gaming K4
8 GB RAM

I installed drivers on Windows 10 as well. When I connected the device and entered in the power shell
Code:
./adb.exe devices
it answered: "List of devices attached", "daemon started successfully" and showed my device.
With
Code:
./adb.exe reboot bootloader
I put it in fastbood modus and the problems began.
If I understand correctly, that's the same state, you were in.
My solution was that the driver for fastboot was wrong. I downloaded an updated version for fastboot from Sony Website.
The driver was unsigned, therefor I had to go into Windows UEFI (new Bios) to enable installation of unsigned drivers... (at own risk)
When I installed this second driver, the device was recognised in power shell, when I typed in commands with:
Code:
./fastboot.exe
and also with flashtool.

Hey there, same problem with my Ryzen system as well. Something with the motherboard drivers or the USB drivers that are not updated to work with these new boards.
As you explained, adb and fastboot works, but flashmode detection is broken.
Flashmode still gets detected on my Surface Pro 4 and ThinkPad T450s.
