Don't know what's happening, but my windows 8.1 laptop refuses to recognize my xperia mini pro when in fastboot. Literally had no problem when flashing kernels in my old windows 7 laptop. Tried literally everything I can think of.
1. disable driver signature verification in win 8.1
2. install all drivers from flashtool (interestingly I do not see sk17i in the device list maybe that's the problem)
3.install drivers from pc companion (connects normally in media transfer, but not in fastboot)
4.installed andriod sdk
5.modified win_usb file with sony's version (my laptop doesn't prompt me to install drivers when I plug my mini pro in fastboot)
6. turned off mtp mode and turned on debugging.
Additional info: my mini pro is running pac man 4.3
What else am I'm missing? This is basically my last resort after hours of searching. I will be extremely grateful for any assistance.

Well, I rooted, flashed, fastbooted (and everything else) my sk17i on my Windows 8.
I don't believe that they changed something as deep as the USB drivers/protocols whatever to 8.1
I takes many times dough, to make it.
1st. you should have the driver signing disabled on Windows
2nd. you connect the device and it asks for the drivers
3rd. you install the drivers while the fastboot ends
4th. you try again and it luckily will work.
As a tip keep "Device Manager" on Windows opened and enable "View\Show Hidden Devices" so that you can see the grayed uninstalled driver.

What I'm saying is that the hard part is to get the drivers working.
To install them you only have this "ghost" driver request on the device manager that you can only see if you enable the "show hidden devices".
It took me many tries and errors to get it right.
Another thing I just remenber: if you installed a bad driver it will also not work, so wen you want to install a new one you have do unistall the previous wtih the option of "deleting the files from your computer". This from device manager, of course.
If I could do it then it's possible, right?

Check in windows device manager if there are any devices with question mark icons when you connect your phone.
This usually indicates a driver problem, reinstall PC Companion and/or Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS).

Hi guys had the same problem. At first my PC Companion worked fine but later my laptop would not auto pop up the PC Companion when I attached the phone via USB. PC Companion even refused to open when manually clicked. I traced my steps on everything that I changed on my laptop (programs installed etc).

do you have all the required drivers installed?
somebody solved the problem? I cannot connect my x10 phone to my laptop as always, this happens since new pc companion arrived to arc and neo ..... please work on that cause its very frustrating
download flashtool, and in the drivers folder, you will find Gordons gate drivers, install it, then plug in your phone to the computer. if not, pull sd card, put it directly into card reader(if you don't have one, you can buy a usb one for like $5CAD) and put a different ROM on it, plug sd card back into phone, then flash via xrecovery, then try to plug it in. I hope it works. submit reply if one method works, so others can try

on both computers i've tested the samsung update service : nothing happens !
on both computers i've tested the last version of samsung companion : nothing happens
on both computers i've tested the usb cable, it works for other phones, but no more with the X10i

Not sure how it happened, but my PC doesn't detect my Ace when I plug it into USB. I have tried every possible solution I could find here but no luck: USB debugging ON/OFF, formatted SDCARD, factory reset, etc. I have Kies installed, able to detect other phones (SII, Xperia, etc.) but not this Ace. I have also tried other PCs but no success.
NOTE: I am now on Imaginary V3, and was on BehradGH Cyano-Ace ROM. I have tried restoring to older ROM but didn't fix this problem.
Thanks
Are you using win 7? If so go to start, plug in your ace, go to devices and printers and see if ' samsung cdma' is there. It may have a yellow triangle there. Hit uninstall drivers on right click. Then reboot and on kies "trouble shoot connection" it will install, your drivers and you will be able to mount USB storage from your device (a prompt should appear on your notifications bar)
Please note some (well, most) custom ROMs do not support kies. Don't update through it (kies), it makes a mess of it
Please hit thanks if I helped

Actually I was referring to the BehradGH custom ROM. I think the problem might have started when I moved from the stock ROM to the BehradGH ROM few months back, but I was not aware of it until lately.

Well, USB tethering does show as an option in the settings but I can't enable it: it says "no USB device connected"! Does this mean that the ROM does not support tethering?
I forgot to mention that the phone is not detected by the PC even when I'm in the download mode. That's why I couldn't use odin to flash stock firmwares. I assume this has nothing to do with a problem in the current ROM, right?
Yeah, BehardGH is ancient but I bought this phone several months ago as a gift to my dad so he is not after changing ROMs. And I must solve all phone problems! That's why I need your help guys...

Well in my rom which is cm7 by fat USB mode appears automatically when I connect my phone to a PC .. no need to tick that option
So I have the OTA ICS update now. I want root again (didn't have it previously on this phone), so I decided I would try one of the "1-click" scripts. My problem now lies in my PC (win 7 64bit) and drivers I think. Downloaded the motorola utility to get all my correct drivers. When I plug up my phone, my pc downloads all the drivers, but it never downloads the Mot ADB interface one. I'm stumped. I've tried it on all 3 machines. I can transfer files and the phone mounts ok OTHER THAN the adb interface.
When I run adb shell it says "error: device not found"
Here's what I have done.
1. Uninstalled all my drivers
2. Re-installed all the drivers
3. Tried every USB port on the computer
4. Made sure USB Debugging was checked
5. Made sure my phone was in Media mode
6. Wiped cache and data
7. Tried it on other machines
8. Re-installed windows on 1 machine.
When I put the phone in AP Fastboot, then and ONLY then will the PC see the phone as an adb interface.
Any thoughts?
I think you need to switch it to a pc mode other people have said.

tried this and still failed. I've done it now on 5 machines. All have the same issue. None of them ever prompt me to install drivers for adb interface. terminal emulater doesn't do anything on my phone either. Bout to take my phone to verizon.
OK I am running emulator on my phone, and when I enter command "adb shell" adb starts and still says "error: device not found"
gonna throw this phone to the wall. Thanks for all the suggestions and help thus far. If I can't get it fixed by tonight, i'll take it to verizon tomorrow and have them send me a replacement.
EDIT: Plugged in my wife's razr with usb debugging and everything worked correctly. DEFINITELY the phone! Can't believe I have wasted this past 2 days on this!
I am having the SAME EXACT problem running the same version of Windows. I'm guessing you haven't found a work around as of yet, eh? I still have been unable to get Windows to recognize the ADB interface. Whenever I connect my Bionic, it finds/installs it just fine, but not so much with the Razr Maxx.
Have you attempted a factory reset at all? The issue began with me because I rooted the device, used OTA rootkeeper, installed the OTA, but then Rootkeeper was unable to restore root, so I also tried to use the 1-click scripts.

I had the same issue.. You need to download Matts utility 1.7 and then extract the zip into an (empty) folder. Then click the first file in your folder and click on the 64 bit. Let it install then run the utility.. Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode and that you have your storage device set to mtb.. Then click the root android 4.0.4 option and let the program to the rest! I hope this helps it sure helped me.

I had a very similar issue that was stopping me from re-rooting after I pulled the official OTA. At the end of it, my problem seemed to also center on not having the Mot Composite ADB Interface driver install when I connected the device by USB. I was running Moto Drivers ver. 5.7.0 (current) and successfully connected on other RAZRs, just not my current one. Same 'device not found' errors.
Connecting my device as a camera (PTP) fixed the problem (settings -> storage -> press the menu key and choose Camera (PTP). After doing that, windows installed the additional devices: USB Composite Device, DROID RAZR, and Mot Composite ADB Interface and I was back on track. Regardless of what I tried otherwise (including a wipe data) the ADB interface just wouldn't install until I connected as a camera.
My post is here:

EDIT: Just re-read the OP. Not just close. Sounds like you're having the SAME problem. Hope this helps.
At first I could not get this script to work. Apparently I had no ADB interface installed. What did the trick for me, was switching off the USB debugging, plugging in my Droid 4 a few times in camera, MTP and mass storage mode. That made my computer install all the necessary drivers.
Having done this, it all worked perfectly. Thank you very much! I am completely new to Android and XDA, and this almost foolproof script is excellent. :good:
So simple..
Had same problems with my new phone as everyone else, PC not recognizing ADB .... tried downloading a couple of different things from other advice as I don't know much about computers this just got confusing. All I had to do was turn off the USB debugging, plug in under the different USB computer connections and ta da!
No Storage Drives Show
Hi everyone.
First time I post on the forum, although I've been using it for quite some time.
This time I'm experiencing an annoying situation with which I spent many hours of my last two days.
Turns out my Windows (7 64-bit) won't display the mass storage drives from my Droid Razr (XT910 Model, Brazilian Carrier OTA).
The funny thing is that all Motorola Drivers are shown on Device Manager and when in AP Fastboot Mode, RSD will recognize the phone as connected and flash normally.
I am really out of ideas here. Did religiously everything written on this forum and many others:
Tried different cables and pcs
ReInstalled ICS OTA
Wiped cache/data
Factory Reset from Android
Tried to connect as Camera, Media and Mass Storage
Tried with USB Debugging both on and off
One thing that may have caused the problem, from what I recall, is I am running without the cid file, as I deleted it to install JellyBean through the steps suggested by "TheRazRGuy" here on xda.
Thing is, as I don't have the cid, I must boot through BPTools on bootmanager everytime the system is turned on. After I downgraded the JellyBean to ICS OTA again, I went on to root the device but forgot about the boot requirement I described.
After the easyroot first reboot, the screen went black as always when normal reboot without cid. Even though easyroot still rebooted 2 more times and displayed the "your phone is rooted" message, I thing something may have gone wrong on this process.
It is worth saying that with JB the mass storage was being shown and before the easyroot process too..
I am really out of clues here, hope someone can help!

So on multiple PC's it will charge my DNA but it will not detect it in device manager, like it's not plugged in at all. Almost like it's not seeing any RX/TX Just VCC and Ground. I've tried 3 different Pc's and probably 10 different USB cables. Multiple roms and it will not even see it in bootloader. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, it's been going on for months, I can do pretty much everything without USB access to my phone but if I want to RUU I'm going to be SOL.
Any thoughts?

What operating system are u using? I started a thread about windows 8 not seeing the dna in bootloader. it happens because htc has not updated the drivers for windows 8
heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521504
Win7 and linux... Think its a phone issue. Well I'm 99% sure

Do you have drivers installed and can you boot into recovery and mount ur device? You may need adb installed. Do you have SDK drivers installed.
Another good way to get ur computer to see ur phone is to download pdanet and it will install the needed drivers to see ur phone.

Not quite understanding, it's not a driver issue... The PC it's self will not see the device. Not even in device manager as an unknown device, the phone it's self will not say, "Hello PC I am here, do you have my drivers?" I plug it in, get nothing as if I am using a charging cable with only VCC and ground, without RX/TX. I'm pretty positive that it's a phone issue, not a PC/Driver issue. Even if it was a driver issue I'd be getting the MTP device showing up.

Actually it could be a driver issue. There has to be a driver installed for something to notice something.
Go to device manager and look at the very top when you connect your phone does it show this?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Or the driver could be corrupted and you tried to uninstall and reinstall

I find that to be very rare but okay best the luck to you.
Hello, I'm having a few different issues when I go to install the latest 4.4.3 (or any for that matter) RUU. I've connected my phone to my laptop and downloaded HTC sync and have automatically updated the drivers. However when I go to actually install the ruu, the usb disconnects and I'm forced to hard reset the phone to get it unstuck. I've tried this with two different USB cords and two separate computers. Any advice? Stuck without service and I'd really like to see UPSM and boomsound improvements. This is completely stock. Thank you
What OS. USB 3.0 ports or 2.0…?
Win 8.1 with USB 3.0 ports can be finicky to get it to work just right.

Both are running Windows 7. I'm not sure on the USB ports, I believe they're 2.0
What hboot numbers is the phone currently on?
It is the AT&T branded version M8, correct? I only ask, because folks sometimes come on here trying to flash an AT&T RUU on another version device.
Any error messages when the RUU fails?

The # is 3.16.0.000. The errors I receive are 170 & 171, something about the usb disconnectingand to check it and try again.
Sounds like a driver issue. Uninstall HTC related drivers and install the drivers from adb or the google drivers.

Just tried this as suggested abd still getting the same error. I get far enough that I can accept the version update on the ruu, the phone displays "HTC" against a black screen, and the usb disconnects. I uninstalled all the drivers and after I plugged in the cord, the sync manager said it was updating the drivers. Should o uninstall sync manager and try again?
Yeah get rid of sync manager. After its gone try the alternative drivers and make sure the phone comes up correctly in device manager then try RUU again. It might be a matter of trying a few different driver vs RUU combinations.
If the system only has USB 3.0 ports and its an Intel chip set then you might also try and go install the latest Intel USB port drivers directly from their website. If the USB port drivers are outdated or if Microsoft has their drivers in for USB instead of Intel's (on 3.0 ports only most of the time) what will happen is everything will look fine with connection to phone via USB from computer but once you are in recovery or fastboot mode the connection will be lost.
I can give more specifics if you want to go down this route much later in the evening with screen shots and driver locations if needed, I'm just on my phone ATM on my way to work. So it would be much later tonight. Let me know...

I uninstalled sync manager and the phone proceeded to Download the drivers again (in addition to an older sync manager driver for some reason) but still no avail. The laptop is definitely an Intel powered one, I'd greatly appreciate if you could post those screenshots when you get the chance
is fastboot enabled? If stock it is not enabled by default...enable it and try again. If you do not know how to enable it follow this:
Settings>About>Software information>More
Tap on build number 7 times repeatedly developer options will be enabled
Go back to settings open Developer options, make sure USB Debugging is enabled
WNC - Good point.

I tried installing it in fastboot usb but It didn't even detect the phone. Is there another type of fastboot or is that the only way?
Only one fastboot. Sounds more and more like a driver issue,be it a usb system driver update or htc driver update...something is amiss on that end.
Apologies for not getting back to this thread. Started a new work assignment this week causing my commute to significantly increase (along with a nasty storm yesterday resulting in power outage). I'll get back here this weekend when I have some time to login from home computer...

So, there are a few ways to check if you have USB3.0 drivers
One, is to look at the USB ports on your laptop/computer - unless it's a custom gaming rig, the USB2.0 ports plastic tabs will be black, while the USB3.0 ports will be blue - if all of your little plastic tabs inside the actual USB ports are blue, then sounds like you have USB3.0 ports only.
The other way is to go into your device manager and look at see what it lists under USB - refer to the below image. Should look like something similar to as follows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, provided that you have an INTEL chipset AND these 3.0 extensible drivers are currently using Microsoft drivers, then what you may want to do is replace the Microsoft Intel USB 3.0 drivers with the INTEL drivers themselves.
What you would look for is your chipset version of the intel chipset (e.g. C220, C217, C270 etc) you should see other areas in your device manager that will refer to your Intel chipset type) then do a search on Intel's website for "USB 3.0 driver C216" (or C220, C270 etc) and download the drivers for your version of Windows (Windows 7 64bit? probably)
The download center for Intel is here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
The original article where I ran into this same situation was located here - for some reason I still have it book marked. I was trying to update/root an HTC EVO LTE about two years ago and ran into this issue on Windows 8 - I imagine a similar issue exists on Windows 7 USB3.0 only systems. This allowed me to keep my connection to my EVO while in fastboot mode (no USB disconnected) on Windows 8 and do what I needed to do to root my phone. It was my first root and folks were saying it was impossible to use Win8 with USB3.0 only ports to accomplish this task, but using the method at the link I was able to : http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers
Here's to hoping you are running into something similar. If not, the next area I would try is just going to Intel's website and download there own driver check utility which should search your computer for all of their own drivers and download install the updated ones. You can try that out too.
Let me know how it goes.
