Z5 not recognized by PC via USB - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been trying to charge my phone through the USB cable that came with the device. It works with the charger, but once i plug it into my pc it doesnt work. When I open Sony PC Companion it doesnt recognize a device either. Now when I enable USB debugging, it works for 2 seconds and then it goes back to non functioning. What i mean by it works for 2 seconds is, the device gets recognized by sony pc companion but then gets unrecognized immediately, i get the charging icon for 2 seconds en the device says its connected to the pc via MTP. But then I can't do anything with it. In device manager it has 2 unrecognized devices: ADB interface and MTP.
What is wrong here?

Try another cable if you have one.
Also install the drivers for your phone from this site.

without recognizing charging function must work!
but test this >
uninstall PC companion > then go to drive C/Program Files and Files x86 and delete Sony and Sony Mobile folders (if exist)
then restart and Install it again.
If doesn't help
Read this carefully

Last week I found a solution, the universal adb driver from Google fixed my problem. The driver from Sony doesn't work, but this one does!

No...
It installs drivers if the device already has the same included...
Fit is not plug-and-play, which means you need to install drivers manually...or install kies...
Whichever you prefer...

Dont go for KIES .... !! It's a crap ..

You don't have to use it if you don't want. Installing Kies means you're installing USB drivers, you don't have to start kies everytime when you connect ur phone through usb. I've installed kies but never used it. I use it HIGHLY OCCASIONALLY.
Yup kies is waste of mem (if u ask me ) for drivers go to sammobile website registr n check our phn specific drivers its just around 25mb file dats easy if u dnt want kies
I found it easier to install drivers kies then uninstall kies

I have installed the drivers which were given in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380) but still it is not recognized by windows 7. it still starts charging. i have tried even toggling the debug mode.
but still no luck. any other option guyz?
thanks in advance.
Install kies then...

Even after installing kies it is still charging. Device is not connected to kies.
hey i am using the usb cable of galaxy ace. is it the problem? but i think these cables can be used on both the devices.
I use the same cable on 2 different blackberry's, my nokia 5310 and c3, samsung monte, and acer liquid metal...
So I don't think that's the problem...
Have you tried using a different computer?
yes i have triedon different computers also.. but its not working there too.
Hi.
I had the problem too. I did this to connect my phone:
1. Go in DownloadMode. Now, the computer must install drivers, like odin.
2. If the installation finished, hold down the Powerbutton for 10 seconds. It'll restart, if nothing happens try to start with holding the powerbutton again.
3. Then, if the phone is started, your computer finds the phone!
I'm not responsible for any damages!!!!

Root without PC/USB

Hi,
Have a TF101 tablet here stock rom, stock recovery...
However it seems the USB will not detect on a windows PC tried multiple cables multiple PC's tried from recovery nothing is detected in device manager at all. Tablet doesn't even detect that its connected to PC either.
Is there anyway to root this thing without USB??? I need to root it so I can install recovery and flash another rom.
Thanks,
Which Windows version are you running?
If you use Win 7 and prior you should be able to connect with the universal naked drivers manually installed from device manager
Win 8 and above need driver signing disabled or they wont install the driver and the PC wont see the TF
If you have already tried the above, you might need a new cable

Thanks. Well i tried windows 7 x64 and windows 8 x64, neither showed any device or unknown device in device manager... Tried multiple cables as wel, no dice...
Shouldn't MTP work regardless of drivers installed in windows 7/8 ?
Are you putting the TF into APX mode?
Connect TF to PC USB > Power Off TF > Hold Power & Volume Up until the PC recognises it (Only takes a couple seconds, nothing appears on the TF screen) then install drivers
You need APX mode for Easyflasher
For normal media transfer, it will still need to install at least some USB type driver, as do all USB devices to function, possibly not the APX drivers
Check in Developer Options > USB Debugging mode
Try it enabled and disabled with the TF plugged in
But really the MTP drivers are not what you need if you want to root. you need APX mode to work (As above)

Doesn't seem to do anything when I hold power vol+, the screen of the tablet (blank/off) and on the pc nothing is being detected.
I can get to the bootloader/recovery via holding power vol- though. Also tried USB debugging mode... nothing is detected whatsoever... ordering another cable on ebay will see if that works but I doubt it since it seems to be a common issue with this tablet (port not working with pc)
I edited my post
Nothing will appear on the TF screen in APX mode until data transfer begins
The cheap non genuine cables are renowned for data connection failing, genuine cables are recommended
I still have my original cable and it still works 100%

Using the original cable, I still can't tell if its in APX mode, installed all the drivers provided by asus, nothing is detected in windows device manager. I'm 100% its not being detected ie. no connection. I ran easyflasher anyway both sbk1 and sbk2 says it flashed recovery but it never did still the stock recovery is on the tablet.
Will try again once the new cable comes in, thanks.
Forget the ASUS drivers, use the Universal ones from the Easyflasher thread
Here's what will happen when its working as intended
When you plug the TF into the PC, no matter what mode it is in, the PC should sound the USB connect sound
When you power off the TF, then put it in APX mode, the PC will again sound the USB connect noise, then it will fail to install the correct drivers
That's when you open Device Manager, find the ! missing driver ! exclamation mark, and update drivers manually pointing it to the extracted Universal drivers
Once you have installed them, then Easyflasher should work as normal
So unless you actually have a hardware fault on the TF, or the USB ports of the PC, Id hedge my bets on the cable
Have you tried a different PC?

Ok, well ya thats the thing no sound or detection of anything when plugging it in, or going into apx mode, rebooting etc...
I tried 2 cables and 2 different PCs. Will try a new cable but I betting that is won't work either... we'll see.
Thanks again
No need to bother with cables and drivers, just download Baidu Root: https://app.box.com/s/pyehf9fh4xem3hy50dot
EDIT: The app has built-in su access management, but I'd recommend installing SuperSU from the Play Store.

[Q]Phone not detected by computer

Hello everyone, it's been about two weeks since my beloved nexus stopped working with my PC, and I don't know what to do anymore, except for an RMA.
USB Debugging is enabled as well as MTP, i tried with PTP too: results are the same.
I tested on all USB Ports on my computer with 4 cables other than the original one: when connected, the phone does not appear on device manager in windows or in lsusb on linux, except when it is in bootloader mode. It works fine on other pc's, and other Nexus 5's work perfectly fine on my computer (drivers are installed). I formatted my pc and flashed all the available factory images: the problem persists. The only thing i didn't try is connecting it through an usb hub, since I don't have one.
Do you have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated!

Have you checked device manager for an acer device connected? A windows update a while ago seemed to cause this issue
Sent from my Android M Nexus 5 yo!
Yes, i checked with an USB sniffer too and the phone does not generate any events when connected to USB :/

Try using Wugfresh's toolkit.
http://www.wugfresh.com/
Follow the guide to fully uninstall drivers/etc and follow the guide again to install the needed drivers. DO NOT skip steps. If u encounter any problem mid way do post here :good:
Device is not detected. Anyway i don't think it's a driver problem (it would otherwise work on linux, and other nexus 5's wouldn't work with my PC too). Could The phone have "blacklisted" my computer, somehow?
My computer's USB Voltage is 5.04V (checked with a multimeter, my usb chargers have 4.95-5.16 so it's perfectly fine, I guess)
How can i check the data lines?
Down load "Googles" USB driver for windows and install on your pc.
Confirm that you have USB debugging set to "ON" and switch from "MTP" to "Camera" via a search in settings for MTP
Finally check that your Phone is able to recogonize that you have a USB Cable connected...
Keep us posted on how you get on
That's exactly what i did after reinstalling windows on my pc, and as i said in The op, phone works fine on other computers.. I even re locked the bootloader and resetted the tamper flag. Should i contact google for an rma?

Apologies, I missed that.
It doesn't appear on lsusb on Linux? :\ No error/warning message on dmesg/journald?
Nothing, it's as if i didn't connect it... about a month ago i had a problem where while the phone was charging it said no sim card until i unplugged it from AC & rebooted. Could things be related?

Bricked Phone USB not recognized by PC

Need help. I was using Miracle Box to flash stock ROM, I don't know how but the phone (Micromax E453) is bricked now. I tried to start phone in Meta Mode (swiched off phone connected to PC by holding volume up button), it worked once, then following some tutorials I uninstalled (and checked, Delete the driver software for this device) MTK USB COM driver under port. Since then phone is not turning on and PC is not recognizing the device. Tired changing the USB cable and even tried it on another laptop, but no go. Kindly share what else I can try. PC has Windows 10 64 bit and MTK preloader vcom driver always has yellow exclamation mark (always installs with error code 10). I have disabled driver signature verificiation.

Did you have USB debugging enabled in the device's system settings before it got bricked? If not, you might not get it to connect via USB and be recognized.

Thank you for your response. Yes, USB debugging was enabled before it got bricked. I was able to successfully see my device when I ran adb -devices command. I was also able to run fastboot commands. Now its completely dead.
