Hello Everybody,
I am having some issues with the drivers when trying to use flashtools on a Windows 8 64bit system. I have installed the flashtools driver with driver enforcement disabled and the drivers were all properly installed (as it claims). When I try to connect my phone in flashmode, I get a message saying USB device is not recognized however it is recognized when the phone is on.
After hours of troubleshooting and frustration, I decided to try to put my phone in flashmode immediately after I restart and I went to flashtools and miraculously it worked! This shows that my computer is able to detect the phone but only before it is booted.
Does anybody know how I can get it properly working without having to restart for every flash?
Regards,
MrAznJzn

Hi everyone,
i'm having difficulties to connect my sgs2 to a pc.
i have tried it on 3 different machines (win7 64, win7 64, winxp 32) with the same problem:
I works fine when i first connect the phone in download mode. But as soon as i disconnect the cable i can't connect it again. Windows sais that it doesn't recognize the device and that's it. The device manager shows an "Unknown Device" under USB-Controller. And i am not even able to install drivers by manually pointing windows to a file.
as already sais, i have tried that on 3 different machines. I have tried installing driver via kies and via the driver file that is available here in the forums. i have also tried different usb ports.
Any ideas?
Goddchen
EDIT: Maybe this is an important information: the phone connects fine as long as it is running (can be found via adb, logcat is working, etc...) it only makes problem when in download mode...
I had exactly the same issue yesterday on my Windows 7 box. In the end I connected the phone in normal (not download) mode. Into device manager and uninstalled the drivers through there.
Then I uninstalled Kies and reconnected the phone, I allowed Windows to search windows update to find drivers (not that it did as it couldn't find any and reverted to the local ones. Then disconnect the phone, re-install Kies, run the install drivers from the tools menu, close Kies. Run up Odin and the connect the phone in Download mode, low and behold 2 minutes later after a lengthy installation process the phone was picked up.
I tried a number of things but for some reason this specific order seemed to sort it.
Hey,
thanks for you hints. But they didn't work for me.
I found the problem: believe it or not, it was THE CABLE. I went and got another cable and this one is working fine all the time. The other one doesn't... Very strange...
I was following the exact step-by-step guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196808
and after I flashed the kernel downgrade, unplugged USB, power up the phone and immediately plug in after the vibrate, I never got the message in the next step that says "Connected Device: X10", and the "Root" button on the flash tool never became available.
Now my phone is permanently stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" black screen, it won't even turn off. I checked device manager and there are 2 hardware without any drivers. one of them says "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus", and the other says "SM bus controller". Does this have anything to do with my problem?
I'm running Win XP SP3, I tried to let it automatically search for drivers but it didn't find anything. I went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193066
and downloaded those drivers, but have no idea how to use them. Tried to use device manager to look for drivers in the downloaded folder and it doesn't recognize anything.
What now? At this point I don't care if I can still root my x10 or not, I just want to fix it so I can use it again. I tried PC Companion but it won't even recognize my phone, keeps telling me to enable USB when I can't even get past the SE screen.
You should try flashing a new ftf firmware bundle, then try the steps again.
ok finally fixed... had to use a friend's computer who is running win7 and actually automatically installed the drivers. everything went as explained on the guide... I guess the guide is not win xp friendly then
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.
Bumping for some help.

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
Windows XP
SE X8
nothing comes out even new verion s1tool use
Ok, this is getting annoying.
Every time I plug my phone to pc, I get "device ID was not found" message. It was like this from the very beginning.
Should I reinstall Samsung drivers, I can log into phone. But if I turn pc on and off - those drivers are forgotten, and phone is not recognized again.
I tried Kies, they do not recognize phone also.
When I reinstall drivers (from Samsung) message says I already have them installed. But the only way phone will connect is when I reinstall drivers again.
Any suggestions?
Just unplugged and replugged it again - logs in fine. But, like I said - turn pc off - those drivers are forgotten...
Sorry, ive found a similar thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2820018. So the situation:
1. Download PC Companion and pc companion tells me to update.
2. Download finished, and its asking me to hold back key and plug the usb simultaneously.
3. I know im supposed to wait the green led, but it doesnt stay on, it flashes about 0.1 sec then turns off.
4. It then showed SE logo and showed the battery charging.
5. Update Service also not working.
6. Flashtool: Not working.
7. I know that S1Boot driver is installed, because ive flashed a lot of phones over and over again, only this MT15i failed.
8. The phone is definitely UNROOTED and still on LOCKED. And i plan to let it stay that way until its been updated to stock ics .587.
How can i access flashmode / fastboot without pressing those keys?
No, adb not working.
And now, the phone seems stuck at that SE logo. Waiting for half an hour now, no reboot, just that logo.
Ive heard about the need to use OctopusBox, JTAG and the like, but i want to refrain from using them. (Paid service, not sure if it would work at all)
