Hi i have just flashed my Locked BL Xperia U from stock ICS to Miui Locked Bootloader version.
After flashing, i cant use pc companion to restore my files i backed up prior to flashing. PCC is not able to detect my phone and i am not able to access my phone usb storage as well, eventhough i have activated the option on the newly flashed MIUI firmware.
Is this a problem on the part of the ROM or is it in general that PCC is not able to detect phones running on custom ROMs?
Many thanks is appreciated for advice/help!
Are you on MSC or MTP mode?

Managed to get the storage workin.
But Pc companion stil cant detect my phone, keeps askin mi to update to the latest pcc version (eventhough it is the latest.)
Reason, y i wanted pcc to work is i have backup my data at pcc (where the extension of the backup is .dbk) Now i wanted to restore those important contacts and sms messages, but not able to do so.
I also searched on ways to try to extract my .dbk files and convert them to format where i can use 3rd party apps to restore them without pcc, but to no avail..... :crying::crying:

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

Hi..
As it says, I was trying to unlock bootloader and turned out that Flashtool doesn't recognize my phone as rooted device at all, so why is that? I made sure that my phone is updated to the latest stock ROM, baseband..everything. And root works since I can access system files from root explorer (SU app is installed also)..I'm on Win8 and my phone was rooted using Flashtool 0.8.5 a long time ago..Any ideas?
I forgot to mention that "root" button on Flashtool is also grayed out.
Anyone?
have you tried latest flashtool ? windows 8 is new system with different structure like w7 or vista. however I have installed latest flashtool with PC Compaion on laptop with windows 8 and runs good. // the only think that I used there is flashing diferent kernels so I dont know if "root" button works or not.//
Yes I'm using the latest version with PC companion installed..
at my first try to flash I had several problems. One seemed to be caused by some kind of "wrong" root, means i could use all kinds of root apps correctly, but couldnt flash kernels etc... however, i used superoneclick and nothing changed.
As it didnt work, i repaired software via pccompanion and rooted with newest fllashtool (0.9) and all worked. I remember it because it nearly got me crying because i followed every step exactly.

have you tried run it as admin or trying compatibility mode? I dont have my laptop with w8 right now so I cant test it:/
Hi, I was using my phone and decided to restart it when some how, it went on a bootloop. My phone isnt rooted or flashed. I downloaded Sony PC Companion to restore it, but it only has the r800 not the r800a. I couldnt make it detect my phone and restore it. I also tried the flashtool but it couldnt detect my phone either.
Support would be nice.

Hi XDA Community,
I want to flash this Kit Kat ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603396
At the moment I'm running the Enigma ROM v4.1. on Stock Sony Kernel (at least I think thats the kernel I flashed most recently). In the Settings it shows following Kernel Version:
3.0.8+
[email protected]) )
#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 11:51:07 2013
Now my problem is that I can't get into recovery to flash the right kernel and the ROM afterwards. Fast- and Flashmode aren't working too (Loosing connection after a few Seconds, I can't even reinstall drivers. Windows says that there aren't any drivers into the fastboot driver package I downloaded today. I downloaded several ones, even a full fastboot driver package for almost all devices).
I have all necessary Data on my phone as well as on my PC, I only need to get them together... I tried to install CWM Recovery via Recover X and the CWM Manager App. But there is no Recovery on my phone (tried to reboot by Terminal Emulator Command into Recovery, only got a Error that there isn't a Recovery on the phone)
I can acces my phones storage by Using MyPhoneExplorer and I can acces these data with ES Data Explorer on my Phone. I'd basicly need an .apk file wich flashes the Kernel whilst running the phone. I think that this can't be possible but maybe someone has a workaround (maybe installing the Kernel onto another partition to not affect the running system or something like that).
The Reason for me to fllash another ROM is that theres basicly nothing working on my phone at the Moment. I can't do any downloads on it (Even Apps from Google Play, it only displays a dashed line where usually the progress of the Download appears). Allmost all preinstalled Apps are not working proper too (SMS crashes imedeately after start, having the same Issue with Calls, the alarm Clock crashes when it should ring (I only get a Notification, no Sound/Vibration. When I try to disable it, it crashes. It's going on like that for more Apps...).
The Important Apps such as SuperUser, Settings and Terminal Emulator are working. I have Root rights and my BL is unlocked (was able to look it up by typing *#*#7378423#*#*). Enabling USB Debugging is possible to.
Do anybody of you have any Idea to flash the new Kernel (I'd use the CM11 Kernel with working Recovery as mentioned in the Thread I linked up there)?
Kind Regards and thanks in advance

You not realy a hacker are ya?
To begin with, untill you had your flash/fastboot mode working don't attampt install anything, because when things get sour, and they will, you will be left with a brick.
You can install CWM recovery from here.
Now to get to the root of your problem, what was changed since the last time you have used flash/fastboot mode?
Is it the same computer/OS you have been using before or maybe you have made a foolish thing like upgrading to windows 8 or above?
I only changed ROM and Kernel. I did no Hard- and Software changes on my PC. Used and Using Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium Service Pack 1. Hopefully it won't ever be necessary to do that foolish thing with "upgrading" to win8 :fingers-crossed:
I don't know last kernel with working Fastboot anymore. The only thing I know that I had been running Paranoid Android (Android 4.1.2, don't know the Version Number).
I tried to install the Drivers on 2 other PCs, running Win8.1 64Bit and Win7 32Bit, as well, nothing worked. Maybe I need to reinstall Windows all the Way from the beginning to clear all drivers and that stuff. As this would take really long I'd prefer a "normal" solution for sure.
The Link you posted is for locked BL. Will it work with Unlocked BL too?
Thanks for your answer, I hope I could give you some further information wich gives you the opinion to give me a solution.
EDIT:
My PC just reminded me that theres another Info that may could help:
Sony PC Companion get's that there is a Sony phone plugged in. It can't get further information so it notifiys me that My (zero) is connected. If I want to sync anything It's not possible because it can't install any drivers or any other necessary software.

So what happened between the time it worked (you had to have fastboot to unlock bootloader) and now?

Maybe try to reinstal PC Companion though I am not sure it installs fastboot drivers.
Did you install the drivers from flashtool drivers folder(Xperia P, flash mode, and fasboot drivers)
I tried to reinstall Fastboot drivers because I had troubles with normal fastboot flashing (sending boot failed after displaying the speed of transmission). Sorry I totally forgot to mention this... My Problem with reinstalling drivers is that I can open the window "properties" of S1 Fastboot, but I can't install drivers (I'm navigating to my,downloaded FB drivers but Windows only says that there are no drivers in the folder. They are the right ones and I didn't forget to unzip them etc.).
Don't know how I can install them alternatively so I tried to find a App wich installs the Recovery so I could flash Kernel and Rom there.
Tried to flash Recovery with your linked .batch, did not worked to. It only displays loads of Error messages. Can't upload the log at the moment. If needed I'll do round about 5PM GMT+1.
I don't think that PC companion contains FB drivers but I'll reinstall it.
I'm not sure if I installed the drivers of Flashtool and as I'm not on my PC atm I can't look it up. Will do that too when I'm back at home.
Thanks for all that tips, I think the Flashtool drivers will be the key...
To install CWM you need to have USB debugging enabled in developer options.
I know that I need to enable it. It was enabled when I tried to install the recovery. I can push data on my phone with my phone explorer, it needs usb debugging activated and it worked so it wasn't the reason for failing of recovery install.
I'll try to install the drivers of flashtool in a few minutes, hopefully it works then.
It failed. Still no FB- or Flashmode for more than a few seconds. I saw that there is a TWRP App. It's not compatible with SXP, but with Z, Z1, T and S Xperia Phones. As they have other hardware as the P I'll probably brick my device with trying to flash one of them. Is there another way to install any Recovery without using FB? ADB Tools could work too for that right? Or could I flash a Kernel with working Recovery by a Terminal Emulator command?
Installing Recovery with the CWM Recoverymanager .apk doesn't work because the SXP is not officially supported by CWM.
instal recoverx from playstore
I've been using flashtool to update phone since Xperia Companion doesn't work with custom kernels and so I want to have it stock with stock kernel and everything but I always get the drivers error in flashtool even though I already started windows I installed drivers and keeps telling me I haven't installed them yet. Also I can't access my phone via usb, I dont know what happened it just dont appear as an external usb storage as before
please help me:crying:
