The topic tells the story I guess. On Windows I have no problem with connection no matter USB debugging is on or off. However under Ubuntu, I can not connect the device. It just not recognized. I have never had such problems with any of my android devices in the past.
I Googled a little but nothing I found helped. Hope there are other people using their computer with Ubuntu 14.04.
Ps: I am not an expert on Linux but I was able to solve some problems.
Thanks

I messages sony about this, their automated service said to update my device to the latest firmware
(every automated service does this to me)
I think they did this intetnionaly to force use of windows 8
Its fairly stupid if you ask me, doomlord has some apps on the playstore
I cant remember its name but it is a paid app and may help you now and later
I remember there used to be an issue with mtp, I thought it got fixed.

I never use windows and I never had a problem with Ubuntu. I've always been on 14.10 since I have the Z2 but I has another Xperia before which worked fine on previous version of Ubuntu (since 13.04 I think)

So, if understood correctly you can connect your Xperia Z2 device to your Ubuntu 14.10 PC without making any workarounds?

Exactly, I just plug it in and it always worked. Maybe it is because I have adb and fastboot installed, I think they come in an android pack (I don't remember the package name).

I did not install them this time but my Nexus 7 2013 just works. So I am not sure if it's a add related problem.

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
Hey all,
I've searched through forums for an answer but nothing has been of help yet. I've been unable to connect my tablet with my pc for a while. I tried reinstalling the drivers, using another pc, even I updated to official R5 via recovery, thinking it would solve the problem. However not only it didn't solve it, I'm also stuck now without root. Strange enough, the pc recognizes the tablet when on recovery, but nothing happens during normal startup, no popups or anything. And I couldn't root it while on recovery. So what would you advice? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Strangely, there isn't even an option to set it to MTP. There are no USB options at all.

I had this problem too. I could not enable debugging it would always default back to unchecked. A factory reset actually worked for this issue.
Tried drivers etc.
Was annoyed that was only option left. But it worked.

Hi,
Thanks for this andyabc. Helped me a lot.
On my windows 7 64bit PC the tablet all the time showed up as MTP device, but did not work at all. (ADB is working all the time) I could not get the drivers to work. MTP is a M$ invention, it is supposed to work out of the box since Vista.
Funny enough it did work on other PC's, so I assumed it's a problem with my PC. I was just so annoyed that there is no way to change this to any other setting not even PTP, just to copy my pictures at least. I have the same Android version on my Mobilephone, since the setting was on another spot on my phone, I simply assumed there is no way to set it on the sony tablet.
I've been working to solve this for almost 3 weeks by now
Then I saw your post.
First I changed it to PTP. Dis- and re-connected USB, and voila at least PTP worked. Then I changed this back to MTP and OH-MY-GOD-WAS-I-SUPRIZED to see that MTP NOW also works !
MAN THANKS, A LOT !!!
Thats what I do

Hi there,
I have problems with Flashtool version 0.9.13.0 (Latest) , so i tried to plug my phone with Fastboot mode / Flashboot mode and Windows says : "USB Device not recognized"
NOTE: I am using Windows 8.1
I tried going into advanced boot mode and i disabled that driver thing , installed drivers,still nope.
I tried front USB ports and rear USB ports (2.0 USB PORTS)
Still Windows don't recognize phone.
I Bricked phone and now i am frustrated that i cannot access flashtool and flash kernel. (I KNOW HOW TO UNBRICK IT)
Can anyone help , before flashtool worked like charm,and now i don't know why it won't work.
I am downloading Windows 7 and i will try it with Virtualbox , sure it will work but this is not solution.
NOTE: In 0.9.11.0v Flashtool on Win8 it worked.
NOTE: I searched on google but everything leads to that driver thing.

Hi there
I have seen some posts where users are having difficulty connecting Xperia to their PC or ADB. Therefore, I am writing this guide to help you all.
The guide was prepared using Windows 7 Ultimate but should work with Windows XP and Windows 8.
Firstly, Sony uses a different driver for their Xperia devices and therefore, sometimes you are unable to install drivers for your devices especially for ADB commands.
IF YOU ARE LUCKY
There are few ways to get around to install drivers for your device. The most convenient and easy is you plug in your device and wait for automatic detection of your device. Make sure you have USB connected as MTP in MY XPERIA in SETTINGS of your phone. The device drivers would be automatically installed by Windows update.
METHOD
If suppose you can not install your drivers, connect your xperia and then on your PC, go to My computer > Properties>Device Manager.
You should see an undetected hardware with a yellow exclamation mark over it. Open it and click on update my drivers. Then choose GOOGLE DRIVERS by choosing hard-drive. This should install the drivers for you. If this doesnot work. Try the attachment with the post where the drivers are modified to work with Sony Xperia Devices.
Follow the same steps but this time choose the attachment folder to search for drivers. It might say, the drivers are not verified. Just Ignore it and carry on installing them. You will need to unzip these files.
IF suppose you do not see any exclamation mark while you connect your xperia. Just go to control panel and add new hardware. Select, I will choose my device and then install from hard-disk. Select the folder where you have unzipped the files and you are good to go. The name of new hardware is not important as windows will read the drivers files and install drivers for Xperia.
This will install all drivers for your device. If there are two or more drivers while installing them. Redo the steps and install all of them individually.
Suppose your ADB still doesnot work, then
FOR ADB DRIVERS :
Download the ADB Universal Drivers and connect your device. Then hit install. The ADB drivers will be automatically detected and installed.
Further, if these tricks fail, you can delete the unknown driver from your control panel and then try finding it again by using refresh button(scan for new hardware changes) in device manager.
Another trick is to click on unknown drivers and delete them. Connect your phone to the PC and restart your phone. Then scan for new hardware in device manager. The drivers should be installed for your device.
If still there are some problems, I will try to help you out.

nope, windows 8+ is different
I'm getting a lot of problems with drivers for this device, seems Sony's guys did it just to say:
"Ok, now this device got some drivers, lets play poker :"
It's serious. To get ADB driver working was a lot of work, just got it working because our friend Ashu1307 posted this link for me ( maybe it can work for ya= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552505)
Ok, that's nice since it was the only driver that's not working on windows 7.
I said windows 7
Now I'm on windows XP, tryied 2 machines already, and this goddam piece of **** don't have any driver working. Nothing, neither MTP, nor fastboot nor ADB nor flashmode (mass storage works, the ones I've quoted are detected, but don't work)
PC companion is another thing I'm hating. First I have to download the Web Installer, 27MB of nothing, since after the download it has to update because the sony's website offers outdated file. THen I download support zone, which detects phone but not the model.
What do I do? I'm going weird just about to break this phone on the wall, I never had so much problems on motorola's or samsung's or enen old sony ericsson's devices.
Before,my PC used to display an error whenever I tried to transfer files from my pc to my Xperia Sola.But after changing the kernel,I could transfer files with ease.So,do you think the problem in the kernel is related to this error?
I never had problem with drivers.
Trying another computer, still having the problems, I use the DoomKernel, do you think it has to do with it ?
finally !!!!!!!
the z3v get recognized by PC Companion

Won't Recognize
I Have z3v D6708 on windows 10 and i can't get sony companion to recognize it either. PC keeps installing MTP USB Drivers and I also downloaded other drivers from XDA specifically for this phone and it still won't recognize. Tried unisntalling all drivers and seeing if the Sony Companion would find the phone and it wont. It always installs and recognizes the phone as an Xperia Z3v and shows up in the windows 10 phone companion but not with sony.
From that point I'm pretty much unable to get anything to flash or work. I'm stuck on Kitkat 4.4.4. I just got this phone and updates straight from verizon don't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
