Hello,
i got a little Problem with my X10 (2.3.3 - rooted) and my Notebook (Acer - Win 7 64 bit).
I tried all ways to install the driver to use USB-Debugging but it won't install. The Device-Manager still tells me SEMC USB as unknown
I tried the usual way, start the phone with holding 'back', install the drivers manually...
Are there any other ways to get it working ?
Same goes for me,
Device manager states that the device is unknown, flashtool not working, PC companion no hope (connected to different USB ports including those of the motherboard).
it used to work but no chance now.
it charges normally from the USB (Orange LED) but would not connect to the PC.
Details:
Windows 7 x64
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Bootloader Unlocked Xperia X10 with 2.3.3 ROM and Doom's Kernel (the latest one)
The guy here says it is related to either windows windows update or faulty cable

Didn't help...
But installing PC Companion did it
PC Companion install drivers automaticlly,that is the best solution.

I tried removing and installing PC Companion but it didn't work either.
Any help guys?
Changing the computer had no effect as well
You must install SEUS ( Sony Ericsson Update Service ). Only SEUS will install right driver. Problem with SEUS is that when you look on SE official site, they tell you that SEUS for X10 no longer persist, and they guide you to PC companion which is crap.
Try this: try to connect your phone with PC, in flash mode. PC will try to install your phone driver but it can't find it. Then in Action Centar, on PC, (a small flag in sys tray, right down corner of a screen) find solution for this problem, and windows will automatically find SEUS over net. Install and enjoy.
from X10i via XDA premium
tried that but no luck as well (even in flash mode SEUS can not detect the device)
Thank you
hello i found a way and it worked for me download flash tool and extract it look for a folder called drivers in there u will find something called ggsetup-2.2.0.10
run this install it and all done
@huzi7868 thank you for your help
However, that didn't succeed and I reinstalled windows and drivers again, but still not working
Even no luck when the phone is in flashmode
Just tried it on a third Computer and checked the cable but the cable is working on another HTC Desire but not on my Xperia X10 (I mean my X10 cable), however they are both charging
try flashtools, there's a folder called 'drivers' in it, open it and click on the installer

I agree, I also have solved in this way.
Download the latest version of Flashtool and after installing it you will find in the "drivers" folder the file "Flashtool-Drivers.exe".
Run it and select the drivers you need. Then connect again your Xperia X10
I really appreciate your help, but I had done that 3 times and on different computers but "USB Device not recognized"
As I sad before, use SEUS to install SEMC USB DRIVER. I have win 7 64bit, and I install driver on it. First, install Update service. When its finished, start Update Service and follow instruction (check "Licence Agree" button, and click next, then pick your phone, X10i I suppose, be carefull there is two X10, One is X10, and other is X10 SO-01b. I pick X10 for myself, and press NEXT. Turn off your phone, press and hold BACK button on phone while connecting with PC via USB. HOLD till you see message to release BACK button. Till then your driver will be installed.
Download SEUS from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBDVZ3DG
@Dzufa Thank you, but I had done that before and tried it again, whenever I connect the phone pressing the back button the green LED illuminates and "USB device is not recognized" appears and nothing happen after that, SEUS just behaves like nothing is connected.
Try with this one. And I think you must be online, because SEUS must download some files.
I really did that and of course updated SEUS, as I said green LED illuminates and nothing happens even in flash tool (it used to work for ages but suddenly it stopped, it only charges)
BTW, I had flashed many kernels and ROMs before it happened so I am quite familiar with flashtool and SEUS, I unlocked the bootloader using 9lucas method and it worked after that I installed XSP ROM and the USB worked as well, however after 2 weeks or so, one day I left it connected it to the PC and I found that the phone turned off and refused to power on, I left it for a while in the charger then powered it on and it powered on, then it has refused to connect to the PC through USB since then.

Incorrect. You shouldn't mount the Phone for flashing. There you need to be in Flash Mode (Pressing the back button while powering on the device).
I'll go for the obvious, have you tried reinstalling PC companion? If is says device not recognised it could either be damaged (phone or usb port) or the drivers haven't installed properly (more likely).
So try a different usb port and go though the steps on PC companion and connect the phone only when it tells you to and it should install the drivers correctly or try going though the repair phone procedure without the phone connected (gives instructions). Think it installed different drivers for flashing.
same problem do you find solution
try this
try to download a driver named SEMC_Signed on your pc
after that connect your mobile
before you install this driver go to Mycomputer right click choose Manage then from the new screen choose device manager after that choose Universal Serial Bus, Uninstall any driver related to SE
Hope it works with you as it works with me
i dont know hoe to upload the file SEMC_Signed here
I've got the very same problem, although a bit more advanced. It started out this way then the phone stopped being able to charge too.
It's the USB port and something to do with the solder joints not being very good/strong enough to the main board and pulling off, especially on earlier models of the phone.
It seems to be a very common problem too with the only options being repair to the port and mainboard or replacement of the phone.
I'm awaiting my new phone right now.
Hi Guys!
My original x10a was sold to a close friend of mine, whom accidently accessed the xRecovery menu, and select to delete the SYSTEM and DATA partition.
Now he is stuck on a endless loop of being on the Sony Ericsson boot logo text screen.
Only way to power off the phone is to physically remove the battery.
Anyways, I am trying to complete a factory reset with the 2.1 firmware, so far, I am out of luck.
I have WIN 7 x64 running, with both 32-bit 64-bit JAVA SE and development
I also have installed Android SDK, wit all the possible packages, including USB Driver Revision 4
I also have Flashtool downloaded from this website, which included the SEMC drivers.
Problem is...I cant get the computer to recognize the phone at all.
I tried even Sony Update Software as well as Companion software, with no luck.
I am physically in flash mode ... solid green LED, but the computer is not detecting the phone at all.
Flashtool is advising to connect my Xperia phone, when clearly my phone has the solid green LED with black screen (hold down back button and connecting the USB)
First I thought it was the cable, which I replaced with a OEM one, still no luck.
I removed the SD card, 16gb from the phone, and connected through my computer for flash memory sticks drive (all in one), and the card was blank.
I am presuming my friend would have deleted SDCARD data as well
So, now I am stuck in a limbo, how do I fix this?
just to give you hope, if you see the se logo that means that your phone isn't bricked.
it's probably some driver that's not installed properly. I'll let someone with real knowledge explain whatto do.
Something like this happened to me. I know it sounds stupid, but have you tried rebooting your computer?? I did that, and it worked again.
Uninstall SEUS,PC Companion and then reboot the PC.
Then download SEUS and install it. Start SEUS , go through the process. It should detect it now.
Can you access xrecovery? If you Can, download a custom ROM, follow the instructions to install.
Don't forget to extract your ROM to sdcard.

Hi All!
Thanks for the input, I do appreciate it.
I am at work right now, but will try it this evening and let you know how it proceeds.
Just as an FYI, I did restart my computer once the Java, SE Companion, SEUS, and Google SDK were installed, still had no luck, but I will try again
To access the xRecovery, it is pressing back button couple of times right?
But the SD is blank, should I use a PC to initialize the SDcard with Xrecovery and everything?
Try this steps...
1-Download a custom ROM to your sdcard and extract. (Use your PC)
2-Reboot your x10 and press a back buton many times.
3-Make following in Xrecovery
*Factory reset
*Wipe cache partition
*Wipe dalvik cache
*Wipe Battery stats
*Install custom ZIP
*Reboot
*Let the phone 5 minutes alone please...

you gotta uninstall seus and pc companion, and uninstall all the x10 drivers, then reinstall seus and pc companion
Hi why don't you use flashtool to flash a new rom? I had read in somewhere else here about this tool and seems to work flawlessly to recover bricked xperia..
End of Life ....
Hi Guys!
Sorry for the late reply,
Been extremely busy with work.
Anyways, it seems I got myself a malfunctioning motherboard or broken/damaged usb connector.
Thus, I can't do anything, it is going to cost me $150 bucks to repair.
I cant get into flash mode, as soon as I do that (the green led), windows states that USB device has malfunctioned and my Xperia continuous to the boot logo screen and stuck there.
I tried just about everything, unless anyone else knows better way?
Just to prove the USB connector is damaged, the wall-charger is not even working when the USB is connected
This sounds really extreme. Can you charge the phone? Can you connect the phone to the computer and get a solid green light - ie - flash mode?
I've encountered a similar problem, the battery is completely drained, so much so that it can not connect to the wall charger, can not connect to anything at all.. just gives three flashes of red led then stops.
The only solution is to charge the battery for a few minutes in another X10 and then with enough power, get back into the phone for long enough to re-establish charge being sent to the battery.
IF you have charge and are able to get to the white SE logo, you just need to use the SEUS software to force restore of the stock firmware.

Just one more question, have you tried changing the USB port? Sometimes the device ID gets messed up and the only way is to switch to another USB port and make sure the phone connects to the computer with the USB cable and that you have a device id.

Problem is I am not sure what your exact problem is as I would like to help more!
The newest version of Flash Tool has drivers package included, it worked for me without installing (or reinstalling) SEUS or PC Companion. Look for a 'drivers' subfolder inside the extracted files.
Can you charge the phone?
My USB port has completely died and I've not a working phone even, so I'm unable to work on custom kernels or anything - I don't have an X10 any-more until this USB port on the phone gets re-soldered
Wellall started when I was trying to install Cyanogen mod into my U20a, I started reading the wiki, installed ADB, and other stuff, my personal hell started when I had to unlock the bootloader for my device. I have read many threads about this but I haven't found answers for the the issue that I'm getting.
First of all:
Device: U20a
OS: Windows 7 32
The problem is that when I run s1tool following the instructions that I have found in other threads (turn off the device, press the 'do the job' button, press the back button and plugging the USB cable) I do not receive any outcome from the s1tool, (I have waited 3 minutes waiting for any outcome but nothing happens), I have searched in the xda forums but I have only archived to get more and more frustrated with the s1tool.
So here I am looking for some answers and guidance.
Thanks.
have you got the SEMC driver installed?
you can obtained it within SEUS or install gordon's gate (inside flashtool package).
maybe it can sort out your problem.

I have already installed the last gordons gate avariable, maybe I should uninstal precious drivers and try again? If there is a way to do that.

i'm on e10i but,
something that could have happpend : "faulty" usb connection...
did you tried with other USBcable/PC ?
Try having a scout about in Windows Device manager for the semc drivers.
I had a small issue when I first tried s1tool, Holding the phones back key and plugging in kicked the phone into 'flash' mode as a USB device, but I didn't have the drivers installed. (PC companion was installed, but that only seemed to contain the drivers for the phone when it was in normal (non-flash) mode)
When I tried to update driver in device manager, after downloading the usb drivers, they wouldn't install. I simply uninstalled the flash usb device in device manager. (It'll show up when the phone is plugged in, in flash mode)
Once removed, unplug the phone and turn it off. re-start by holding back key and plugging back in. Windows re-detected it and the second time around, installed the usb drivers.
Hope this helps
I also had the same problem.
I installed Gordon drivers from flashtool.. but still not able to detect the phone in flash mode.
me too, same problem

Try unticking "Enable USB Debugging" and then connect your phone to your PC. With PC companion installed your phone should normally be recognised by Windows.

Install XP drivers from Flashtool. Also install fastboot drivers from flashtool.
Here's the steps:
1.) Open Flashtool
2.) Open Fastbootmode in FLASHTOOL, (from the thunder icon)
3.) Connect your device in fastboot mode
THIS STEPS SHOULD BE DONE FAST
4.) After connecting your device, select Reboot into fastboot mode (via Fastboot) from the Fastboot Toolbox, (right side)
5.) Congrats, you are now in fastboot, flash any kernel you want with autoroots.

I've seen at least one forum member that reported to fix his port by pulling the contacts with a needle, though I would not recommend it at least untill you have confirmed this is in fact the problem, at service or lab/store.

My Phone is connected to pc.No driver installation what is the problem?
Hello,
I have an Xperia P and since yesterday I have been having the very same Problem!
I can connect the phone via USB with my computer but the only thing it would do is: CHARGE
no data connection via usb.
I tried everything i know, like rebooting, entering fast boot mode, installing Sony Companion, enabeling / disabeling usb-debugging, deleteing old junk-data to decrease the amount of elemtents on sd-card... but nothing happens. neither windows nor ubuntu-mint will recognize my phone except from charging.
has anyone of you found a fix for the problem?
i run: nemesis kernel v.6.3 and Honami MoonWalker HD V6 (but i think its not a problem of kernel / ROM because i've been using this combination for a while now and it always worked!)

Any news about this problem? Im facing exactly the same problem.
The phone works, but no USB connection. I cant enter in fastboot, nor flashmode, or whatever.
Tried all trick described in XDA, (rubber band, full charge, full discharge, etc...)
Factory reset doesn't help too.
update:
I have been using the phone without usb Connection ability for a while now and transferred data files via wifi-app on my computer when I needed to.
Eventually the phone died yesterday, because it is not charing anymore ;(
First it started like this:
I had the charger plugged in and it recognized it, showing the flash icon within the battery icon. But nothing actually happened, in fact, the battery kept draining.
So i tried differend chargers and cables but nothing worked. I wasnt able to prevent the phone's battery from completely depleting. Now, the phone won't turn on anymore and when I plug in the charger, the red Status LED will turn on for about 5 minutes, then it turns off again and nothing happens. I can repeat that but i figure, the battery is not getting any energy from the charger
Does anyone know how to fix this, yet?
The phone is slightly over 2 years old...
Right, been trying to enter fastboot/bootloader. The phone is completely standard/locked at the moment.
I've press and held the volume button while connecting the USB cable. I'm running Windows 7 64bit and have PC companion installed. Windows sees the device is plugged in, and attempts to install drivers - it fails. In device manager is shows S1 service without drivers installed.
I've downloaded some drivers from the Sony site here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/ but when I point the PC to the directory, it says it can't find drivers?
I'm confused! I've got all the ADB stuff installed already and can successfully connect my HTC, so I assume it's just the Sony driver I need?

Make sure you install flashmode / flashboot driver on flashtool driver pack... run flashtool xperia driver setup and under choose component make sure you tick flashmode / flashboot box... hope works friend....
my device is stuck on s1 service mode when connected to pc
Easy way to get it is by... Going to Sony's site, downloading their software and then installing it. Next run the software and select the repair option.. After a while it will download the SOMC driver and install it. You can CTL ALT DEL and kill the Sony app if you don't want to take repair matters further.. And there is your driver! Go and back it up or check the install cache for the installer and save this. Choice is yours.
NOTE: Make sure your firewall is not blocking any of the directories it requires for operation. If so just open control access to these and you're good to go.

Been a bit of a while since I had to deal with Sony phones. If I remember correctly it was either companion or another restoration application available from Sony and not 3rd party.
Was that message for me? Do note that the Trim Area for the same is corrupted. @noidodroid Could you please elaborate the above procedure? Also, if it's about any Sony tool, those won't recognise the device since the trim area also holds info and DRM's for device iirc.
