X10i Wont recognise Any PC ?!? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have been looking evryone for this problem and cant find the solution, hell i even asked my Provider but they couldnt help me either.
In a nutshell my X10i (Android 1.6 Vodafone) Wont recognize my PC (windows Vista latest, 32 Bit).
I plug in the USB cable and it wont show a usb connected in the notification bar, however the notification light turns green.
When i try to connect my device to PC Companion it wont register the phone or locate its there.
I even tried to update the phone using SEUS but it wouldnt recognise it whilst in the "hold back" menu.
I have already tried these but they havent solved the problem;
-uninstall SEUS and PC Companion
-Reinstall SEUS and PC Companion
-change USB ports
-Change USB cable
-Checked and Unchecked USB Debugging
-change computer (still no help)
-I cant find anything in device manager
The problem seemed to have arisen when i reflashed the phone, using SEUS Repair, because i had forgotten the patern lock.
I really want to flash Official 2.1 or the AOSP rom!!!
Any solutions?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT: Everything else works fine in the phone

[Q] Can't root my X10 - wtf?

Hi,
before you'll say something: i've done everything in every manual i've found, the Flashtool guide für noobies too.
My problem is, i can't root my X10, flashtool says and superoneclick (i have used every version i have found) said always that my phone is not plugged, but it is!!
At the moment i use the latest firmware, 2.1.A.0.435
So what can i do? Has anyone a simple trick?
greetz Cracker, and sorry for my bad english...
Are you sure you have connected your phone is flash mode....you have to hold the back button while you plug in your phone. The notification led will be green if you've done this right..

Flash mode wtf?
Make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging enabled then try again with flashtool

USB Debugging is on, and i tested it also on flash mode, but it doesn't helped.
So, i don't know where's the problem
Oops..my bad...he asked about root
Try changing the usb port and then try rooting... the usb port was the problem in my case, it was recognising other usb devices but not my phone.
Also try installing SEUS first so that it installs the x10 drivers onto the pc.
Thanks for your help guys!
I have tested it on an other PC from my friend and it works perfectly, don't know why
My brother had a same problem, and we spend 2 hours to solve...
The problem is: pc companion or seus not installed before...

[BRICK][BOUNTY] Help me unbrick my X10a!

So apparently no one on here wants to help me unbrick my X10a for free so now I am going to offer money, no specific dollar amount until someone can get it working again, even if it's only for a short period of time. The link to my original thread is linked above, whoever gets it working can request the amount they think it was worth spending their time. Good luck, for both of us. I have seen several others with this same problem, if they would like to join in the bounty for us, and future bricks, feel free to leave a post of PM me.
I only skimmed over your last thread so let me ask a few questions.
Flashtool doesn't work at all?
So what version flashtool do you have and has it worked previously?
Did you unlock your bootloader?
When you connect to flashtool do you keep the back button held the WHOLE time?
EDIT:
Read your thread. Looking at the flashtool screenshot it looks very similar to an error i was having at one point. Even tough i had the drivers installed they didn't want to play nice. I downloaded Flashtool 0.2.9.1 and reinstalled drivers. When in flash mode i seemed to HAVE to hold the back button down the whole time.
I have tried it both ways, to hold it the entire time, or until I get the error, and let go as soon as it starts flashing. Both have the same end result of the aborting of the flash. Also, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times as well as used Gordon's reset usb ids everytime I try.

Are you sure you have a stable connection with your data cable?!! (USB port and cable work fine, not lose or something!!)
Question: The Green Led (the light that comes "on" while you're in flash mode) goes off while you are flashing?
Sorry all, lost my isp for a bit. Yeah, I'm sure about the USB connection. I have gone as far as to taping it down to make sure it doesn't move. lol. And when flashing, the light does stay on but there have been times where the light goes off half way through despite not being moved since it initialized connection.
What where you running?? Did you try seus???

Okay i had your error message too a few times here is what i did i re installed the x10 drivers it was included in flashtool then i flashed stock 2.1 it worked like a charm !

Try this:
1- uninstall pcc and seus
2- run some aplication to clean the registry of the computer.
3- install again pcc and seus
4- connect your phone and let PC to install the drivers automatically.
5- use flashtool to flash a firmware designed for you baseband. Try android 2.1 first to test it.
If it still doesn't work try to do all in a computer with another windows version. Sometimes Windows 7 give a little problem to install drivers.
One computer that has never been used for this is excellent because there is no conflicts between applications and drivers

Also turn off UAC (user access control).
Don't know if this will help too but have the latest version of Java installed.
Similar problem
So did your X10 work?
I am having the following problem:
Mistakenly wiped everything using xrecovery, even system.
Now no computer recognizes device (10 different systems with XP, Vista, 7)
unable to boot into flash, stuck at SE logo,
already tried different versions of flashtool, tried all the drivers including gordon gate, android drivers, pcc and seus but device still not recognized
Now is my X10 bricked or what!
Any hope anybody?

Reinstall Windows and then:
1. Download the latest PC Companion from SE site.
2. Install it on your PC then open the programm and choose the "update service" there.
3. Then you'll find there a phrase saying "repair phone".
4. Then only follow the instructions of PC Companion to repair your phone.
And ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read FAQs, Guides, and Tutorials.
Format PC and install SEUS and PC Comp....
Disable UAC in windows 7
Restart PC
Follow procedure for flashing,with Flashtool 0.2.9.1...
Wait for drivers to be installed (must have internet connection)
Use Stock 2.1 Firmware file first!
Run it As Administrator
Change USB Cable, take shorter one and plug in in the back of PC (directly on motherboard)...
I had already tried pcc but I tried again as you said.
Formatted new PC with windows 7, turned UAC off.
Downloaded new pcc and ran the program.
After hitting the update link it says to connect the usb cable but after connecting usb cable it does not install the drivers. It says to disconnect and reconnect if nothing happens for 30 seconds so I did that and upon connecting usb cable it says unable to connect to the phone. I think the phone repair link is after the phone is connected to pcc but I can't connect to pcc.
And how do I connect the usb cable directly to the motherboard? Do you mean to open my desktop cabinet and locate the usb port on the motherboard, disconnect the already connected back and frontpanel usb headers and then connect the usb cable to the usb header on the motherboard?
Also tried flashtool 0.2.9.1 but no success, keeps trying to connect but to no avail.
I tried SEUS awhile ago, it's in the original post. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them several times as well as uninstalling Windows drivers and only using Gordon's drivers and that did not work. I taped the back button down on the device but that still did not work. I'm at a loss...
About installing the drivers, how about this:
Download the standalone drivers: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U2PY6QOR and read these instructions provided from SE Support:
First, it is important to install drivers properly.
Start with the SEMC drivers.
When X10 is connected to the computer you should use ADB for X10 not ADB that comes with Googles SDK since it is not compatible with X10, yet. Use ADB for X10 included in attatchment, and write adb devices.
If you get something like CBxxxxxxxx then ADB works with X10. To kill old ADB server you can use adb kill-server command.
Good luck
(Note: i found this info over the net, it's kinda old, May 2010 but may works, who knows!)
Another option to install the drivers is to download and install this software: http://www.mediafire.com/?pq0idzzyasmzui0 This is the Unlock Software provided from cellunlocker.net which i used to unlock my X10, it has the option to install the drivers for you on the software folders (in windows start menu).
Try again after installing these, specially the second option (Unlock Client), who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!
Hope this helps!
How bout this. Start fresh from another PC.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I have updated everything, I have actually started fresh from my Laptop to see if it had something to do with my home PC but it does the same thing. As far as ADB goes, you cannot access ADB if the phone is net set to debugging mode, adb will not recognize the phone, even in flash mode.
Will you can try this it has worked for a few others and if it does work JUST the thanks button is good for me. And just Be Patient go slow and it will get fixed if it's not already. And after you get it working then you can update too what ever Rom you wont.
Have Fun

You said that you tried to root but quit.Hope you didnt try to root with a i9100 kernel on your i9100G cos i dont think they are compatible.Re-install the latest version of kies and if that doesnt work then re-flash your firmware and try again.
well... I have this problem before, me just trying using other port the problem was sloved... (tips: do you unlock you phone before connet to pc?)
Other answer from other forum
Fist:
I) restart you pc,
II) on you kies
III) turn off you phone
IV) connect to pc
V) got driver now?
if still cannot.. try
a) wipe data and cache on recovery mode,reboot and try connet to pc agian. (warning: make sure backup you phone fist)
Hope this will helping you xD
by the way.. i did tried to root my phone.. but end up failed.. so i cant do stuff like flashing.. those rooting step for is was too hard for me to understood..
To fix this problem (Your Windows 7 PC Not recognizing your Galaxy S2)
1: Try another USB Cable (my original cable doesn't work, a generic one I had does)
2: My Computer Properties - Device Manager - Uninstall EVERYTHING from the Universal Serial Bus controllers list, then restart. - This fixed the issue for me, my external keyboard and mouse stopped working but I'm using a laptop and once I restarted everything works fine
3: Update your phone's baseband radio (I was on XXKI1 and my PC would only recognize my phone when I was using VillainROM, nothing else, until I updated the radio to XXKI4).

tried too but isn't really working..
What root method did you try?
I think you can try by type
*#9090# and select "via UART"
then type
*#7284# and select "UART MODEM" and "USB PDA"
Connect your USB cable and it will auto download the new driver to your computer.
p/s: Need internet connection
sorry all.. finally fix the usb thingy.. i think the problem started with the update i download from samsung.. after i download the DZKJ2 firmware.. my pc unable to detect my phone.. now i switched back to DZKJ1 firmware and now its fixed.. though some function may lost but better than nothing.. thanks for your answer too

Computer dies when I connect the phone

Hi.
I wanted to update my x10 mini pro to the latest firmware. It didnt work throught the updater, it said I had the latest but I didnt (i had Baseband 006 - kernel 2.0.A.0.504). So I followed this rendeiro2005 "[FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies" I downloaded the nordic version, but nothing happend, tried to update it but still said there where no updates. So then I downloaded the UK version, then It found the new update, it worked halfway through the update and then the computer died.
Now either nothing happens, I mean it doesnt find the phone via usb, or the computer dies. I tried to uninstall/reinstall PC companion with revo uninstaller, didnt work. Then I tried to start the computer in safe mode and that didnt work either. And I have tried all three different ports. I tried to turn of the phone and connect it and then the computer snap shutdown. (the usb worked fine all day today before I tried to upgrade).
Thanks
Now I¨ve tried to uninstall flashtool and the drivers installer that comes whith it, also uninstalled PC companion. And used the guide "how-to-remove-old-unused-device-drivers-in-windows-7" to deleted some drivers that I suspected have something to do with the phone. At least the computer doesnt die now. But still it doesnt find the phone when I plug it in. I tried the "silent mode trick", but didnt work either.
I dont think theres something wrong with the phone. I did a backup with titanium before but I cant get to it now since the phone isnt rooted anymore after the FW update.
Do you have the Debugging mode enabled? if you have it, try disabling.
Ya tried that to. No success. Even formatted my computer. Nothing. Then I wanted to charge the phone, ordanary rechargeching, that didnt work either. So it must be something with the phone. Have no clue how to get around it. Tried hard reseting it also. Nothing. I guess is something with the new firmware upgrade. Is there any way to go back without using usb?
Is there a way to update/downgrade it wireless?
If the usb is broken, can I send it to SE and have it repaired? (The phone is secondhand without reciept)
You can send it to the SE care centre to get it repaired but you will have to pay because it is out of warranty.
regarding your pc, does usb work other than your phone? im wondering how a connection like that to the phone makes the pc go dead!
There maybe something with the pc or the phone. check with the hardware wires are connected properly and try some other usb device (pendrive etc) and check if the usb works well. then you dont need to doubt about the pc next time.
if pc works then you have to check with your phone and see if that doesnt work.
Other than that i dont know if it will be software (windows xp,7, or other s/w) matter but something on hardware. doubting the phone. so please check it out.
Thanks and good luck on your search!
Do you know how much it can cost to get it fixed?
Ive tried to reinstall windows, didnt work. Tried linux, didnt work. Ive tried other usb devices and they work. After reinstalling the phone doesnt kill the computer anymore atleast. So I guess its the phone. I wont charge when its of either.
Everything worked fine halfway through the update with pc-companion. After that the phone lost connection and never got it back since. What do you think, any chances?

[P] USB connection problem

First of all - sorry for bad english.
Few days ago I've found a problem - I can't connect my phone to PC via USB cable. When I connect - phone is just charging but no debug, no usb-sign in statusbar, no reaction from PC companion, nothing except charging.
When I trying connect with SEUS - I need to go in bootloader-mode, but I can't do this because PC doesn't see my phone anyway...
I've tried two usb-cables and three different laptops with Win 7, 8 and XP - result was same - nothing.
MicroUSB looks like new one. I can't repair software because can't connect to PC, I've already make hard-reset with android settings - no results.
Someone know what to do? In my town no Sony service, may have a solution that does not require service? Some hidden setting or whatever else..
Firmware ICS stock CE (.544)
Try clearing data and cache of mtpapp in settings-applications-management application -all
Then reboot, wait for 5minutes(literally) with locked screen and then retry connecting with pc...
Make sure u first connect usb into pc and then in your phone..
