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.

It works fine for XP SP2 on same machine (dual boot). It was working before on Vista too, but failed after system restore.
It still works in Vista via Bluetooth. Does any one know what happens? Thanks.
I got this problem once... but I forgot what I did to solve it. How about uninstalling Windows Mobile Device Center and reinstall it again?
Same problem after reinstallation. What a pity!
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?

Hello,
I am having the following problem. A friend of mine just bought a hd2, secondhand. He wants to run android on the phone so now i have been trying for about 4 hours to get the phone connected to my pc. I have been searching all over hte net for answers to my problem, but nothing i found helped.
Problem: when i want to connect the phone to my pc it is found, but cannot be installed. I only get the message unknown device and ther it stops. I have tried all the solutions that can be found on the net but nothing hepled.
HELP
Have you installed ActiveSync (till Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (since Windows Vista) on your PC, before you connected the HD2 to your PC.
...and just out of curiosity: If your friend wants to run/use Android, why he bought a second hand HD2 instead of a second hand android device?
Good question. He was offered the phone and thought why not. Reaaly thnking about it came later. Oh well.....
WMDC is installed. I am using win 7 ultimate x64. I also tried it on another machine with xp and active sync 4.5. Same result.
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 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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!
