Android seems to be corrupted - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

My Sony Xperia M4 aqua seems to be corrupted. It does boot but settings, internet, network, contacts doesn't work. I tried to use the factory reset method ( volume + power) but it doesn't seem to work. I had not previously enabled usb debugging and can't access settings now. And my pc doesn't seem to show the device in explorer or in Sony companion app. Any help would be appreciated.

try flashtool and see if it recognizes the device in flashmode

else use the official xperia pc companion
it's recover option should be able to bring you back from just about anything
there is also pc drivers to +$?#@ with...

As the pc (in windows 8.1) doesn't recognize sony phone , it doesn't show up in pc companion either.
I would try flashtool then.

SEMC USB Driver won't install

Hello,
i got a little Problem with my X10 (2.3.3 - rooted) and my Notebook (Acer - Win 7 64 bit).
I tried all ways to install the driver to use USB-Debugging but it won't install. The Device-Manager still tells me SEMC USB as unknown
I tried the usual way, start the phone with holding 'back', install the drivers manually...
Are there any other ways to get it working ?
Same goes for me,
Device manager states that the device is unknown, flashtool not working, PC companion no hope (connected to different USB ports including those of the motherboard).
it used to work but no chance now.
it charges normally from the USB (Orange LED) but would not connect to the PC.
Details:
Windows 7 x64
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Bootloader Unlocked Xperia X10 with 2.3.3 ROM and Doom's Kernel (the latest one)
The guy here says it is related to either windows windows update or faulty cable

Didn't help...
But installing PC Companion did it
PC Companion install drivers automaticlly,that is the best solution.

Sent from my xperia "z10i"
I tried removing and installing PC Companion but it didn't work either.
Any help guys?
Changing the computer had no effect as well
You must install SEUS ( Sony Ericsson Update Service ). Only SEUS will install right driver. Problem with SEUS is that when you look on SE official site, they tell you that SEUS for X10 no longer persist, and they guide you to PC companion which is crap.
Try this: try to connect your phone with PC, in flash mode. PC will try to install your phone driver but it can't find it. Then in Action Centar, on PC, (a small flag in sys tray, right down corner of a screen) find solution for this problem, and windows will automatically find SEUS over net. Install and enjoy.
from X10i via XDA premium
tried that but no luck as well (even in flash mode SEUS can not detect the device)
Thank you
hello i found a way and it worked for me download flash tool and extract it look for a folder called drivers in there u will find something called ggsetup-2.2.0.10
run this install it and all done
@huzi7868 thank you for your help
However, that didn't succeed and I reinstalled windows and drivers again, but still not working
Even no luck when the phone is in flashmode
Just tried it on a third Computer and checked the cable but the cable is working on another HTC Desire but not on my Xperia X10 (I mean my X10 cable), however they are both charging
try flashtools, there's a folder called 'drivers' in it, open it and click on the installer

I agree, I also have solved in this way.
Download the latest version of Flashtool and after installing it you will find in the "drivers" folder the file "Flashtool-Drivers.exe".
Run it and select the drivers you need. Then connect again your Xperia X10
I really appreciate your help, but I had done that 3 times and on different computers but "USB Device not recognized"
As I sad before, use SEUS to install SEMC USB DRIVER. I have win 7 64bit, and I install driver on it. First, install Update service. When its finished, start Update Service and follow instruction (check "Licence Agree" button, and click next, then pick your phone, X10i I suppose, be carefull there is two X10, One is X10, and other is X10 SO-01b. I pick X10 for myself, and press NEXT. Turn off your phone, press and hold BACK button on phone while connecting with PC via USB. HOLD till you see message to release BACK button. Till then your driver will be installed.
Download SEUS from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBDVZ3DG
@Dzufa Thank you, but I had done that before and tried it again, whenever I connect the phone pressing the back button the green LED illuminates and "USB device is not recognized" appears and nothing happen after that, SEUS just behaves like nothing is connected.
Try with this one. And I think you must be online, because SEUS must download some files.
I really did that and of course updated SEUS, as I said green LED illuminates and nothing happens even in flash tool (it used to work for ages but suddenly it stopped, it only charges)
BTW, I had flashed many kernels and ROMs before it happened so I am quite familiar with flashtool and SEUS, I unlocked the bootloader using 9lucas method and it worked after that I installed XSP ROM and the USB worked as well, however after 2 weeks or so, one day I left it connected it to the PC and I found that the phone turned off and refused to power on, I left it for a while in the charger then powered it on and it powered on, then it has refused to connect to the PC through USB since then.

Pc companion sees my x10mp like "big"X10

I have problem Pc companion sees my X10 mp like "big" X10 and installing X10 drivers. I can browse my files on card etc but I can't flash kernel in Flashtool I have error no drivers installed.When I pick up my phone in Flash mode my PC freeze and I mus restart PC . I haven't got this problem earlier. My x10Mp is running on nAa 11 kernel.
EDIT
OK I know solution of PC freeze I must run PC in safe mode But Pc companion detect big X10 not x10mp and when I turn phone in flash mode phone is in flash mode about 10 sec then phone normal starts
EDIT2
Sorry for my bad English
try the repair option in PC Companion, it will let you select your model, instead of PC Companion detecting it, you can get to it without even attaching your phone to your computer, just plug it in when it asks you for it (which is the connect in flashmode stage). maybe that way it will work
You will be back on stock firmware, but i guess that can be fixed again.

[Q][HELP] Xperia P won't connect with PC (Charging only)

My Xperia P just won't connect with PC, it just behaves like its on wall charger when I connect the cable,
no notification about storage mount, not even a sign of phone connected to PC. Neither on Phone or PC.
No driver install on PC, no notifications about device connected. Not a single error notification on PC. Even cant find phone in device manager.
PC companion cant find the phone, even flashtool cant find the phone, I cant get into fastboot mode too (installed flashtool drivers).
Tried every driver, cable, usb hubs, other PC, Windows 8, 7... nothing.
USB Debug is ticked in phone, PC Companion install too (still didnt start), tried hard reset too.
Its same problem as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837977

Xperia P
6.1.1B.1.54
Bootloader unlock possible but still cant get into fastboot so no way to do that.
Bought in Poland (T-Mobile PL branded, probably sim-locked?. But I'm using Slovak T-Mobile and it works)
Please help, I dont care about USB Storage now (I can get to it by Airdroid) but I want to root my phone and Im not able to do it beacause of this.
Try unticking "Enable USB Debugging" and then connect your phone to your PC. With PC companion installed your phone should normally be recognised by Windows.

Install XP drivers from Flashtool. Also install fastboot drivers from flashtool.
Here's the steps:
1.) Open Flashtool
2.) Open Fastbootmode in FLASHTOOL, (from the thunder icon)
3.) Connect your device in fastboot mode
THIS STEPS SHOULD BE DONE FAST
4.) After connecting your device, select Reboot into fastboot mode (via Fastboot) from the Fastboot Toolbox, (right side)
5.) Congrats, you are now in fastboot, flash any kernel you want with autoroots.

i had the same problem... when i try to connect it says no device detect. i was using go launcher but when i used the original xperia launcher and closed the go launcher.. the pc companion detected my phone.. not really sure how that worked.. but it did.. >____< it was hard to follow the technical solution in the internet.. so im glad my problem was simple as that.. just check if you had the original xperia settings.. and try to connect to pc.. hope it works for you too!

You should choose "Let me pick a list of device drivers from my computer" and find your phone driver that you installed before.

The port is where you plug the USB cable into. It's probably damaged.

Unfortunately the port is part of the main board and cannot be replaced
I've seen at least one forum member that reported to fix his port by pulling the contacts with a needle, though I would not recommend it at least untill you have confirmed this is in fact the problem, at service or lab/store.

My Phone is connected to pc.No driver installation what is the problem?
Hello,
I have an Xperia P and since yesterday I have been having the very same Problem!
I can connect the phone via USB with my computer but the only thing it would do is: CHARGE
no data connection via usb.
I tried everything i know, like rebooting, entering fast boot mode, installing Sony Companion, enabeling / disabeling usb-debugging, deleteing old junk-data to decrease the amount of elemtents on sd-card... but nothing happens. neither windows nor ubuntu-mint will recognize my phone except from charging.
has anyone of you found a fix for the problem?
i run: nemesis kernel v.6.3 and Honami MoonWalker HD V6 (but i think its not a problem of kernel / ROM because i've been using this combination for a while now and it always worked!)

What exactly do you mean?
Do you want to know how I installed it on the phone? Then you should look for some tutorials, there are plenty.
Or do you want to know if it is actually working? I can tell you, it is, don't know why you wanna get a video or screenshot, because its actually not really realated to the thread's topic

same thing happening with my Xperia S :crying::crying:
if u find any solution plz tell me
Any news about this problem? Im facing exactly the same problem.
The phone works, but no USB connection. I cant enter in fastboot, nor flashmode, or whatever.
Tried all trick described in XDA, (rubber band, full charge, full discharge, etc...)
Factory reset doesn't help too.
update:
I have been using the phone without usb Connection ability for a while now and transferred data files via wifi-app on my computer when I needed to.
Eventually the phone died yesterday, because it is not charing anymore ;(
First it started like this:
I had the charger plugged in and it recognized it, showing the flash icon within the battery icon. But nothing actually happened, in fact, the battery kept draining.
So i tried differend chargers and cables but nothing worked. I wasnt able to prevent the phone's battery from completely depleting. Now, the phone won't turn on anymore and when I plug in the charger, the red Status LED will turn on for about 5 minutes, then it turns off again and nothing happens. I can repeat that but i figure, the battery is not getting any energy from the charger
Does anyone know how to fix this, yet?
The phone is slightly over 2 years old...

there is an option in SuperSU itself to unroot
or you can flash stock.ftf using flashtool..
but i think first you should give a try with your USB drivers..
just try to reinstall your phones drivers....
if you have flashtool installed then You need to go- C:/Flashtool/Drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe (assuming that you are using windows)
and install drivers for xperia p,u,sola....
OR for drivers you can go here:

Root won't mess with flashmode/fastboot.
And unrooting in a situation like this would be plain idiocy (no offence)

I suppose is not the right choice, i know is very risky because if the problem stay, i cant any longer root the phone, but i dont know what else i could do.
This is the backstory: I did a flash with an official firmware to my Xperia P, the point is that after making the root the phone is not connected to my PC via USB, only charge. For those who tell me to try on USB Debugging mode, I already did, and restart several times, I did factory reset, and nothing. I installed drivers from XDA forums, the drivers from Flashtool, from the Sony Official page, from SUS, from PC Companion. Then i posted this in XDA, i dont know what to do.
- The PC Companion does not detect the phone.
- The computer does not recognize the phone as a mass storage or media device.
- The Sony Update Service does not detect it. (using the volume - key combination)
- GPS with Google Maps never connected (if it does Waze, but this not happen before).
- I cant install new firmware because Flashtool does not detect it. (using the volume - key combination)
- I have a OTG cable that work fine before the root, and now the phone dont recognize.
What can i do?
Sorry for my English, i used Google Translator
Setting>storage. Press menu button and make sure mtp is checked.
Is it being detected by the computer in FLASH mode?
Which method did you use to root it.

If the PC is Windows 7 or 8 you should see a USB connection.
Any USB 2.0 MicroUSB data cable should work.
When you plug the USB data cable into the PC and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i phone, do you get an LED light indicating the phone is being charged(powered) via the USB port? You should see an LED power light.
On the phone you can enable USB debugging ( Settings ► Applications ► Development )
This won't 'enable' the connection but it does:
a) Provide an advance software connection between PC and phone for software updates and etc.
b) Displays a little Android icon on the phone to show something is connected.
When the phone is connected in USB data mode, you should see a new drive appear on the PC.
These are just very basic things but just covering them as we progress through to a solution.
PC Companion is a good app to start with to restore the phone back to stock firmware.
Another Sony Application is Sony [Ericsson] Update Service(SEUS) Sony Update Service
Sony Update Service just focuses on the firmware update and does not have the PC suite and Tools of the extended PC Companion application.
SEUS may provide the 'kick' the PC needs to request access to look for SEMC USB drivers to establish phone/PC connection.
There is also Flashtool.
This will still need the PC to provide USB drivers, which is should prompt for, but could require manual driver configuration.
In the Flashtool folder there is a driver install app that prompts for drivers of a given phone, but this is not always a 100% sure fire solution.
So, I'd check using SEUS to start with and see if things improve.
Thanks mate.
I did SEUS and it said the phone was up to date.
I tried again to use Sony pc companion.
I get to the part where it says drop down the menu and tap usb then mount.
The phone does not do that.
When I drop down the menu all I get is usb debugging.
When I plug into pc via usb lead I see an icon which says cd drive I but I can not open the drive.
