As stated in the topic, I have a problem with PC Companion.
The installation is ok, my XPS is detected, but when I try to use anything in it (Support Zone, Contact Setup, etc.) it says : Application not installed. Impossible to install this application, please try again later.
Totally useless as it is.
I'm on Win7 x64. I already uninstalled/reinstalled PCC, reboot my comp, but nothing helps.
I tried with a virtual machine (XP mode) and everything is ok, except that the phone is not detected.
Any hints ? Thanks.
I Just updated my phone with PC Companion. For some reason, the install wizard did not appear so I downloaded and installed it from a Sony site. I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit so it has got nothing to do with the version of windows. Your problem seems unusual. Perhaps you can try installing it on another laptop or desktop.
I downloaded PCC from Sony website too, and I don't have another computer to test. I tried SEUS, but says my phone is up to date with .62 firmware, where others in my country are in .67 (unbranded sim free phone)

Hi everyone, I have an X10a and managed to get upto step 3 without any drama. Once I try to do step 3 however, it says that the device wasn't found. USB debugging is enabled and everytime I plug the phone in, the windows device manager thing comes up and tells me my phone is an X10i. Then it says there is an error and the new hardware might not function correctly.
I have the latest Pc companion and everything. Any ideas?
Phew never mind.Just needed to let windows do it's thing
Can you elaborate how did you overcome device not found problem in Step 3?
I have the same problem and tried with re installation of PC Companion, SEUPS and doesn't work.
After Step 2 both of my computers can't install proper drivers for the phone even though the SE PC Companion and SEUPS detects device.
For some weird reason Windows detects my phone SO-10B (or X10) as X10i in Device Manager and don't know why. I tried to install manually drivers through Device Manager but it wouldn't let me. I tried Step 3 procedure on 2 Windows 7 computers 32bit and 64bit.
I rebooted, I changed USB ports.
It just doesn't detects it
Help, please. I'm quiet desparate
Install PC Companion then it will work its got some needed drivers
If the device manager pops up and asks you what to do, let it install drivers. Just let it search automatically and as thor said, you need pc companion.
EDIT: What I did exactly was go into control pannel -> Printers and other hardware -> add hardware -> yes I have already connected the hardware. Then let it search for updates. It took a few minutes for me until it managed to find the drivers. I'm on 32bit XP by the way.
Guys I already wrote that I already reinstalled PC Companion and SEUPS.
I do have PC Companion installed and even updated to the newest version.
The device is now detected and installed correctly.
The only problem that Step 3.cmd still can't detected it on both of my computers (win 7 32 and win 7 64).
I even started the whole process from the beginning and I'm again stucked at step no.3
Here is screenshot.

Some other advices?
-USB Debuggining is enabled
-USB Storage is enabled (I tried with disabled)
-Both computers and phone were restarted between tries multiple times.
What should I do?

Need a little help setting up my dev environment on Windows 7.
I had it working perfectly on my old PC running XP. I have since bought a laptop with 7 and am trying to set up a dev environment on it but am having issues with the drivers (at least as far as I can tell).
I have:
Android SDK installed - including all available components
Java 1.6 SDK and JRE installed - environment variable is set
SEUS and PC Companion installed
Rooted my phone to 026 using the original method - done on old machine
USB Debugging switched on on my phone
When connecting my phone, I get no option to install the driver. My SDCard also automatically mounts itself, which i'm not sure if that's related to my issue. Any ideas how to stop it from doing that?
When I try to update the driver software via Device Manager (browse to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER), I get 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
I've read through a few threads, particularly the rooting issues thread, and googled it in quite a few different ways with no luck. The closest I could find is XperiaX10iUser's post in this thread. Running USBDeview as mentioned, i can only see 'SEMC Flash Device' and 'Sony Ericsson X10i' that would be relevant. However, when I try to uninstall selected devices it does nothing (no error, just doesn't uninstall).
Running 'adb devices' returns a list of devices with nothing in it.
Any help/ideas would be much appreciated as i'm going insane here!
Are u maybe running 64bit win7?

Uninstall your Java and start from scratch using the 32bit versions of Java, and run USBDeview without the phone plugged in if you haven't done already.
Yes, I'm running 64bit Win 7.

I installed 32bit Java (1.6.0_20) and reinstalled all the Android SDK components. No change in symptoms.
I have run USBDeview with the phone plugged in and without.
i'm running win7 x64 and it works normally.
another day i tried install a theme (without have seus or pccompanion installed on my pc) and i had the same problem. after i installed pccompanion, it worked normally.
remember that you must have usb debugging on, to adb devices show your phone.

I definitely have USB Debugging on and PC Companion installed.
Where do the drivers for the X10i actually come from? The phone, SDK Drivers component, SEUS or PC Companion?
What am I missing?
Does anyone else's SDCard mount itself when plugging the phone in? It didn't do this on my old machine.
EDIT: I was able to remove USB devices using USBDeview. Just need to right-click and 'Run as administrator' (which is odd given that my user is admin). Didn't help me installing the driver though. Still can't find anything when pointing to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER.
My <sdkdir> is C:\Android\SDK. It shouldn't matter that it's not the default path should it?
EDIT2: Apparently, DoubleTwist has an auto USB mount option. Doesn't make a difference to the driver issue though.
Ok listen to this, it will seem a little crazy but i wonder if it will help
Install pdanet the desktop version ( its a program used for usb tether ) the idea is that this program installs the sonyericsson drivers with it, just follow the instructions of the installation process and tell me how it goes..

Hi sir, do you have time? I cant figure out what is wrong with my x10. When i try to flash those Generic Stock Rom, i get to have errors flashing. It aborts sometime when flashing system.sin and other sin depending on the tft file... i dunno what version my phone is but my pc detects it with flashmode. When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power
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 !
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
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.

Hi there. Sorry to bother, but I've been for a long time on GB, build 0.42. Everything worked flawlessly.
Some time ago I updated to build 0.62. Again, everything's alright. Or at least, that's what I thought.
Today i tried for the first time to connect my phone to PC Companion. Couldn't do it. I switched to MSC mode, and the connection worked. I switched again to MTP, and then again it didn't work. I closed PC Companion, and realized my phone didn't appear among the connected devices.
I checked and found out that the device is recognised, but my PC can't connect to it.
I tried updating drivers. Drivers were already updated.
I tried uninstalling drivers, then I plugged the phone. Now Windows can't install proper drivers, as you can see from my screenshot.
How can I fix this? Is it possible to manually install those drivers?
Thank you anyway!
EDIT
Now drivers have been installed again. But the device doesn't work, so......
You didn't mention which OS are you using...and whether 32bit or 64bit.
The problem is, that there are no official fully working drivers released for Sony Ericsson Android MTP mode.
Win 7 64 bit.
Never mind, just downgraded to .42 again
Thank you anyway!

Also got Win 7 64bit.
There are no working drivers for 64bit systems, so can't be used.
Strange, since my .42 GB works well in both MTP and MSC mode. Thank you!
As i find yesterday, when i tried to install pcc on my home pc with xp sp3 not working anymore. Today ive tested again on another pc with xp sp3 with same results. Works fine on my work pc on win7. After some research, found a PCC changelog saying that xp is no longer supported by pcc. Stupid thing to force people to buy new pc.
