Hey guys,
My lovely Xperia S just got here on friday and I've tried to root it. However, the problem is that when I plugged it to my PC, the SEMC driver wasn't installed correctly, and now it just won't no matter the USB port I plug the device into.
I've read here on XDA that for the driver to be installed correctly now, only by restoring the phone. And I really don't wanna do that right now... Is there any other way around? Does someone know where I can download the ADB Driver for the S?
Thanks a lot!
Download and install flashtool from HERE and install drivers in C:\Flashtool\drivers or your installed directory.
It didn't work. And I'm using the latest flashtool (0.9.9.0)..
As soon as I plug my phone to the PC and it goes trying to install the driver, the phone boots up to the charging image (the little battery). And I'm pressind the volume down key, the green light shows up and everything, but the phone starts and the process ends...
If you haven't installed pc companion yet, try that or Sony update service. They install drivers when phone is connected

Once with my x10 I had to install android sdk just to get the drivers to work. It is a big install but it might save you from resetting the phone

Check THIS drivers. Maybe the drivers from phone is erased. So try this drivers.
Android SDK os also installed with all the drivers.
I'll try this Sony one! Where should I put them?
Extract the file somewhere like desktop. Right click Computer on desktop > Manage > Device Manager Find there is something like "Sony ******" when the phone is connected. Maybe there is yellow mark. Right click it > update driver software > Browse my computer for driver software > Browse (Select the folder you extracted) and install the drivers. Do this and let me know whether it is working or not.

It says "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date. MTP USB DEVICE"
Try to uninstall it then re-install the drivers.

It's probably that. I just installed it on my notebook and it was successfully recognized.
Where are the drivers located, so I can wipe them all?
You can uninstall it by right clicking "Sony ******" And try to re install.

There's no Sony sa0103 on my device manager. I should manually delete the files (if there is any...)
It should be there when the phone is connected.

Hey all,
I am trying to update my father's phone to the 6.1.a.2.55 firmware update. But no matter what I do, it just doesn't go beyond this step in the jpg.
What can I do.everytime i connect the phone, it keeps saying I need the PC Companion. I have downloaded and installed the PC companion 6 times already. Also, when the phone is ON, I can see it. But the moment the phone auto shuts, the computer says 'USB Device not recognized.'
I have a Windows 8 HP AIO Desktop..what is the way forward...

Hello
thank you for your reply, but I did not find this driver for windows 7 64 ... at least a functional driver, what we find are outdated or for other versions, If any of you have this driver, thank you to send me a functional link.
thank you in advance
anyone have found this?
I ran into this driver problem with my Sprint Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900) running Kitkat 4.4.2.
I struggle for days/weeks to figure this out until I stumble onto this link
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f453/reading-phone-info-fail-problem-please-help-me-1856788/#post10545666
that have the code to get into the USBSetting..
Go to device manager and uninstall the "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" ports if any from your computer.
On your phone's dial pad, enter *#0808# -> USB Settings menu (Picture 1)
Select AP, this will show the menu on picture 2
Reboot and reconnect to the PC. That's it..
You know it works when the PC see the Note 2 as a Samsung device and not "Qualcomm.... MSM"
Make sure you have the Samsung's drivers for the Note 2 installed on your PC (Samsung Kies should have it).
Hope this help some one!

You fixed my phone! Thank you so much. Also Sprint Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900) & Kitkat 4.4.2. The phone's USB port seemed dead. It Charged ok, but no USB connection, no notification. Needed to set phone's USB options to MTP, but couldn't access that menu.
tuxmask's solution worked great. Adding a few details...
On PC, start by restarting..

Do this with the phone plugged in., so that the device will show up in device manager.

I also followed the instructions on howtogeek "remove-old-drivers-after-upgrading-to-new-hardware" to uninstall all of the instances of "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM"

After choosing AP, I left the second menu as "MTP".
Note that the *#0808# dial code works on the SPRINT Note II. Other carriers have slightly different dial codes., and other phones have a hidden menu under "settings".
Don't forget the STAR.

If you have the KitKat upgrade on your Note 2, then you want version THREE of Samsung Kies.

First, bit of background: I am not an Android developer or even a computer geek in any way but I can follow precise instructions to a positive result. I have for instance had in the past the following devices and managed to root every single one of them sometimes in 10 minutes, sometimes with a lot more difficulty: B&N Nook, Samsung Galaxy SII, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, Chuwi Hi10 Pro.
Now, I have just purchased a Pixel C and I have been tearing my hair out for the best part of 48 hours just trying to install the Google USB driver and fastboot bootloader driver on it. I previously had my Windows 10 PC set up with working ADB and fastboot (sdk tools only, no Android Strudio). As proof, I recently rooted my Nexus 9 on it. With the Pixel C I tried:
-Nexus root toolkit and every single method of driver installation possible
-I then downloaded Android studio - didn't change a thing
-I then try to unlock the bootloader the manual way (command prompt inside of platform-tools - fail since the driver won't install.)
-I even wiped out my Windows install and reinstalled it fresh with Android Strudio
- I do get the device seen as an mtp device
-I do get adb function (I can reboot the device to bootloader)
-Yes I did enable usb debug and 'oem bootloader unlock'
-when I try to install te Google driver to the tablet as mtp device in Device Manager I get the message "the best driver is already installed" (no matter what Google usb driver I use, the one downloaded by Android Studio or the one I downloaded separately)
-I have also always disabled driver signature enforcement in Windows before trying to update the driver.
I am extremely puzzled and feeling defeated. If someone can tell me of something that passed me by, please tell me. If the Pixel C can be rooted on a Windows 10 PC, please tell me something I don't know...
Please note: I made the possibly mistake of letting the Pixel C update to 7.1.2 before doing anything.
Please Help!
This may or may not be a helpful response. I had the same problem and never, ever solved it. I read a gazillion articles and all sorts of detailed instructions about how to remove and update drivers. I tried for days and nothing ever worked. That's not to say that it can't be done, but I had to give up.
Do you have access to a Windows 7 computer? That will get you through the unlocking process and initial installation of TWRP. After that you won't need your PC for anything except transferring files so the drivers won't be a big issue.

Thanks, so it would be a problem with Windows 10? And you manage to solve it with Win7?
I don't have a Windows 7 PC but I tried to run a Win7 virtual machine, and it can't recognise the tablet as an mtp device. So, fail.
I can't believe we're the only 2 who've had that issue and that this is not generating more help and tips. Nevermind...
Try the skipsoft tool kit thread.
I am not an expert, but the thread offers many insights into this problem. I got the drivers installed properly after some thorough failure too. Keep at it. I did it successfully about 9 months ago - long enough for me to completely forget how I did it. The answer will be there.
nexus root toolkit by wugfresh supports pixel c. good info on drivers found there.

First you have to disable the use of unsigned drivers as indicated and then install the drivers manually from nexus root toolkit. If you read your message and I did it in that order. a greeting

Thanks again. But that's what I did. Didn't work...
I always have this problem, and it always comes down to me forgetting that the device needs a different driver in ADB mode than it does in fastboot mode. Or, at least, it needs the driver installed in each mode. If you haven't already, make sure you get it working in ADB, then go through the steps again while the device is in fastboot mode. Maybe you've already made sure of that, but the last time I needed to do it, after hours of pulling out my hair, I realized that I wasn't doing all the steps of removing drivers and then installing the correct ones while the Pixel was in fastboot.
when using device manager , left click on action then select add legacy hardware, then next, then install hardware i manually select from a list, then next, hopefully android device is at top of list, if not look for any adb/fastboot , like portable device but the point is to find a adb/fastboot early legacy device and select that, then next, then select the driver from the list and hit next. should be done.
let me ask you when you installed android studio, did you go to sdk manager and select usb drivers then install. then go to users/username/appdata/local/android/sdk/extras/google/usb_driver and right click .inf file and select install and let windows install the driver(s)?

Hi. Yes I did but it keeps saying there are no suitable drivers in the folder. When I check myself there is indeed no .inf file in it.
I have had no luck. Using both the skipsoft and the wugfresh tool.
My pixel c is locked asking for a pin and I never put a pin lock into it. What a piece of $h!t this tablet has been.

Your drivers are not correct, that's why the pc is not detecting the phone, try downloading MI Flash Tool, it has all the necessary drivers for Z2 Plus, google it

Connect your smartphone to PC
Make sure the USB debugging is enabled and revoke all debugging history(the option below the enable debugging)
Now install the drivers that appear on the screen as ZUK z2 drivers or something like that.
Install it .
It should take some time.
Then try the following command line"adb devices"
Now a prompt should appear
Click always allow and then on allow.
Now you should be able to connect your phone to the PC.
I just unlocked my bootloader on a win 10 machine
Like this if this works for you.
