I downloaded Bridge for Mac and used that to update.
It asked me about java since I have got that on my mac but it just didn't update. I had to use Windows to update my phone

I updated it through Bridge but after unlocking the bootloader, it is back to good old FlashTool for me.
I prefer FlashTool btw.
I did it with success only via Bridge...
I did it using Bridge for Mac as well

Works just fine ^^^^^
Hi,
just a curiosity... why if we use it we don't need to set the device by using the Windows' procedure?

My Bridge for Mac didn't even detect the Xperia ZU. I tried reinstalling it but nothing changed. So I borrowed a friends' windows laptop to update the software, successfully.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am trying to do some development work on Android, but unfortunately my X10 won't be recognised properly by my laptop (Dell / Vista).
All the other drivers have installed properly, apart from "X10i SEMC HSUSB Driver".
In my Device Manager it always has the warning symbol. If I update driver with any of 5? different versions I have downloaded from similar threads on this site.
Again, have tried Sony Ericsson's : GG, Update Centre and PC Companion..but nothing.
It's really starting to become hopeless!
Any ideas?

Try the drivers from SE dev website for x10 here: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/downloads/download/dw-x10drivers?cc=gb&lc=en
Did you install PC Companion or SEUS? It will work correctly if you install one of them then let Windows check for update of drivers.
Hes stated hes installed pc companion and had no luxk

Hi,
I am trying to use my SK17i as a dial up modem to use the GPRS connection active on my postpaid plan. however i havent been able to find the relevant driver for the same. Installed PC companion but it has been of no help.
Please provide me the link of the driver for the same or suggest me any means through which i can use it as a modem.
thanks, in advance

USB-tethering is only possible on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Linux.

That is for native android tethering. PCC should work on Windows XP for Sony Ericsson dial up modem.

I can't find any function in PC Companion for that, according to me there is no option for Android phones in newest PCC anyway, as Android already includes that.

I used the PCC included with my X8 and use it with a remote PC wearing windows xp. I had to keep USB debugging on. Well, that's an old story now I have Windows 7 & 8.
To OP, try PDAnet or similar to work
Thanks all for your replies ... i believe the usb tethering is possible with win XP, as when i turn it on, windows xp detects a new hardware. however since the driver is not available the modem cannot be installed.
with win7 its just a breeze...!
That's the thing, there are no proper drivers for Windows XP.

make sure u use latest version of flashtool, it should have fixed issues with windows 8. if it wont work try reinstall you device using Sony Ericson Update Service ( SEUS) or PC Companion. --- but Im not sure if they work on windows 8 too.

hello everyone. First time posting here. Im having a terrible time unlocking my bootloader on my tablet following sonys instructions. I get all the way to the part where sony has you download their usb inf replacement file for android sdk. I replace the file, go into fastboot mode on my tablet. the device shows up with the yellow exclamation in device manager but it wont let me update the drivers. I have also attempted to update the drivers through flashtool. nothing seems to work for me and Im at the end of my rope. it just keeps saying that windows cannot find driver software for my device. anyone have any tips or something that can get this working for me? im running android 4.2.2 with firmware 10.3.1.c.0.136 on the sgp311 wifi model. developer mode is enabled as is usb debugging. any help with this would be tremendous.
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?

Strange... It might sound silly, but sometimes people forget it: Did you rebooted after installing the drivers from flashtool?

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!
Win 7
Just tried Xperia Companion on Windows 7 Enterprise with the same results. It will not recognize the phone.
Not working for me.
Mac OSX 10.11, Verizon SIM card, Giga's 5.1.1 rooted, tried both USB connection modes.
