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

Sorry for asking this stoopid,noob question,but I never used PC Suite.
So,I just re-installed Windows XP and all is quite smooth. So,since I have a stable Windows OS now,I'm willing to flash the new baseband (finally,huh? ).
Do I only need to install LG PC Suite and all drivers will be installed(For using KDZ/LGMDP),or I need external tools/downloads/etc.? If so anyone kindly post a link here.
Only the drivers should be adequate.
But sorry I forgot the url where I got them.
I didnt use LG PC Suite, coz then I dont need it
PS. I admire your great work Ciaox

Make sure you disable LGE Modem on windows Device Manager, right click on it should do the work.
Don't know about that but seems being plugged in while the LGE Modem is still active could interrupt the debugging process.

Driver Issues
I am having trouble installing drivers for my P500 on Windows XP using the B2CApp.
It installs 3 of them:
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.1.exe
LGSmartPhone_ModemlinkDUNDrive_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe
LGWindowsMobile_USBDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe
But even then, my phones not detected on the PC.
Btw, I must mention that I am stuck on the fastboot screen, while trying to do a NANDroid backup, after ROM Manager screwed up with my Custom Recovery installation.
Any idea if the above 3 are enough for me to proceed with the below link, or is there another LG fastboot driver that I might be missing? :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046
When I connect my phone and hit the first command on cmd prompt:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
I get the following:
Code:
< waiting for device >
UPDATE:
I have fixed the issue. Got the drivers mentioned in this thread:
Anyone else stuck with Windows XP not recognizing the device even after the B2CApp installation, try these drivers:

So apparently no one on here wants to help me unbrick my X10a for free so now I am going to offer money, no specific dollar amount until someone can get it working again, even if it's only for a short period of time. The link to my original thread is linked above, whoever gets it working can request the amount they think it was worth spending their time. Good luck, for both of us. I have seen several others with this same problem, if they would like to join in the bounty for us, and future bricks, feel free to leave a post of PM me.
I only skimmed over your last thread so let me ask a few questions.
Flashtool doesn't work at all?
So what version flashtool do you have and has it worked previously?
Did you unlock your bootloader?
When you connect to flashtool do you keep the back button held the WHOLE time?
EDIT:
Read your thread. Looking at the flashtool screenshot it looks very similar to an error i was having at one point. Even tough i had the drivers installed they didn't want to play nice. I downloaded Flashtool 0.2.9.1 and reinstalled drivers. When in flash mode i seemed to HAVE to hold the back button down the whole time.
I have tried it both ways, to hold it the entire time, or until I get the error, and let go as soon as it starts flashing. Both have the same end result of the aborting of the flash. Also, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times as well as used Gordon's reset usb ids everytime I try.

Are you sure you have a stable connection with your data cable?!! (USB port and cable work fine, not lose or something!!)
Question: The Green Led (the light that comes "on" while you're in flash mode) goes off while you are flashing?
Sorry all, lost my isp for a bit. Yeah, I'm sure about the USB connection. I have gone as far as to taping it down to make sure it doesn't move. lol. And when flashing, the light does stay on but there have been times where the light goes off half way through despite not being moved since it initialized connection.
What where you running?? Did you try seus???

Okay i had your error message too a few times here is what i did i re installed the x10 drivers it was included in flashtool then i flashed stock 2.1 it worked like a charm !

Try this:
1- uninstall pcc and seus
2- run some aplication to clean the registry of the computer.
3- install again pcc and seus
4- connect your phone and let PC to install the drivers automatically.
5- use flashtool to flash a firmware designed for you baseband. Try android 2.1 first to test it.
If it still doesn't work try to do all in a computer with another windows version. Sometimes Windows 7 give a little problem to install drivers.
One computer that has never been used for this is excellent because there is no conflicts between applications and drivers

Also turn off UAC (user access control).
Don't know if this will help too but have the latest version of Java installed.
Similar problem
So did your X10 work?
I am having the following problem:
Mistakenly wiped everything using xrecovery, even system.
Now no computer recognizes device (10 different systems with XP, Vista, 7)
unable to boot into flash, stuck at SE logo,
already tried different versions of flashtool, tried all the drivers including gordon gate, android drivers, pcc and seus but device still not recognized
Now is my X10 bricked or what!
Any hope anybody?

Reinstall Windows and then:
1. Download the latest PC Companion from SE site.
2. Install it on your PC then open the programm and choose the "update service" there.
3. Then you'll find there a phrase saying "repair phone".
4. Then only follow the instructions of PC Companion to repair your phone.
And ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read FAQs, Guides, and Tutorials.
Format PC and install SEUS and PC Comp....
Disable UAC in windows 7
Restart PC
Follow procedure for flashing,with Flashtool 0.2.9.1...
Wait for drivers to be installed (must have internet connection)
Use Stock 2.1 Firmware file first!
Run it As Administrator
Change USB Cable, take shorter one and plug in in the back of PC (directly on motherboard)...
I had already tried pcc but I tried again as you said.
Formatted new PC with windows 7, turned UAC off.
Downloaded new pcc and ran the program.
After hitting the update link it says to connect the usb cable but after connecting usb cable it does not install the drivers. It says to disconnect and reconnect if nothing happens for 30 seconds so I did that and upon connecting usb cable it says unable to connect to the phone. I think the phone repair link is after the phone is connected to pcc but I can't connect to pcc.
And how do I connect the usb cable directly to the motherboard? Do you mean to open my desktop cabinet and locate the usb port on the motherboard, disconnect the already connected back and frontpanel usb headers and then connect the usb cable to the usb header on the motherboard?
Also tried flashtool 0.2.9.1 but no success, keeps trying to connect but to no avail.
I tried SEUS awhile ago, it's in the original post. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them several times as well as uninstalling Windows drivers and only using Gordon's drivers and that did not work. I taped the back button down on the device but that still did not work. I'm at a loss...
About installing the drivers, how about this:
Download the standalone drivers: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U2PY6QOR and read these instructions provided from SE Support:
First, it is important to install drivers properly.
Start with the SEMC drivers.
When X10 is connected to the computer you should use ADB for X10 not ADB that comes with Googles SDK since it is not compatible with X10, yet. Use ADB for X10 included in attatchment, and write adb devices.
If you get something like CBxxxxxxxx then ADB works with X10. To kill old ADB server you can use adb kill-server command.
Good luck
(Note: i found this info over the net, it's kinda old, May 2010 but may works, who knows!)
Another option to install the drivers is to download and install this software: http://www.mediafire.com/?pq0idzzyasmzui0 This is the Unlock Software provided from cellunlocker.net which i used to unlock my X10, it has the option to install the drivers for you on the software folders (in windows start menu).
Try again after installing these, specially the second option (Unlock Client), who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!
Hope this helps!
How bout this. Start fresh from another PC.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I have updated everything, I have actually started fresh from my Laptop to see if it had something to do with my home PC but it does the same thing. As far as ADB goes, you cannot access ADB if the phone is net set to debugging mode, adb will not recognize the phone, even in flash mode.
Will you can try this it has worked for a few others and if it does work JUST the thanks button is good for me. And just Be Patient go slow and it will get fixed if it's not already. And after you get it working then you can update too what ever Rom you wont.

I have looked for debug drivers for my Xperia X10 on Windows 7 but can't find any.
Windows sees the phone and I can use the USB storage option.
However, I can't get it to connect to ADB for debug in Eclipse.
Have no problem on my (old) XP machine.
The drivers on the Sony-Ericsson site don't seem to support Windows 7.

hey did it really work for you?? i'm still in trouble....when i connect my xperia x10i the notification for "USB debugging on" comes up on the notifications bar...and phone asks if i want to connect to the computer or should just charging....
in PC the sony pc companion software comes up saying "sony ericsson phone detected"...but nothing after that...phone is not listed in the eclipse avd list...
note: i don't have a memory card in the phone...is that the problem??
So, trying to install the driver exe file from Samsung's website and it won't work. Keeps saying that it failed to install drivers. And, if I have the phone as USB Debugging enabled, it'll pop up with 2 out of 4 that says it failed to install.
My roommate was able to install the .exe file on his Windows 8 beta laptop (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit) without a problem. And, the phone installed fine on his laptop as well. For me, no.
If USB Debugging is not enabled, then yeah, the phone is fine. But, since I want to root this thing, it won't accept the drivers. And, nowhere on Google, searching or Samsung's website provides me any answers whatsoever.
I've done:
Going through regedit and deleting all things Samsung related
Deleted every Samsung folder on my hard drive
Rebooted the computer
Uninstalled the drivers
Reinstalled multiple times
Downloading and installing Kies (did not install any drivers, still failed)
I've done everything I can possibly think of. Couldn't find any answers on here, either. And, doesn't help that the search function is broken.
So, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And, please do not say "Reinstall Windows" because that's just ridiculous and I shouldn't have to do that for a simple phone driver install. I had my Epic 4G before and that all went smoothly.

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 ?
