Oh okay, lets hope that someone helps us out here.

hmm..try using a virtual machine software(like vmware) with a win7 image!

It is a problem with Windows 8.1 there is no fix for now. You will need to downgrade to at least Windows 8 or previous

Try using SUS, youll need to run SUS in compatibility for windows 7 though to see the SP listed.

That's bull****. You only put the Sus in cm, not the whole windows. You simply can not upgrade the phone using w 8.1.

Hello,
I was able to update my phone using SEUS under Windows 8.1 x64, up to date.
I started SEUS using :
- "Solve compatibility problem" right click menu
- "Solve problem" (2nd option)
- "Application started previously under older OS"
- Selecting Windows 7 compatibility mode.
The Xperia SP re-apperared in the device list, and I was able to go through the whole update process.
Hope it will help other people to pass that frustrating moment :highfive:

Can you please tell me did you installed any special drivers, coz i tried with SUS and Flashtool and every time i turn my phone off and plug usb in windows shows a message that says unrecognized drivers for 2 second and then Xperia Sp appear but it is not recognized by any of those two programs. :/

No, I have only PC companion and SEUS installed. The phone was recognized without any effort on my side

[Q] MTP USB Device won't install on Windows

When I connect my Galaxy S to my PC it starts to install the drivers.
The driver consist of 3 parts, but the last one, the MTP USB device, fails to install. I tried restarting my pc after installing Kies and also tried alternate drivers for Windows 7 x64.
When I connect my phone in Kies mode I get an error saying:
FsUsbService64
Service Initiali Failed
(screenshot attached)
Anyone familiar with this problem and/or it's solution?

I have the same problem, however using Windows XP 32 bit SP3
And I get:
Try this, its good for win7 32bit and 64bit also. (My girlfriend and I both have our own SGS, and her win7 32bit is working flawlessly with this driver just like my win764bit.)

Thanks a lot! I will try this later on when I'm able to connect to my pc.
If this doesn't work, could it have something to do with the firmware version?

All I know is that this usb driver package helped me and my gf either, without this pack I got the same error like you did, and since then everything works properly. If this package cant help you then I have to admit this is beyond my knowledge.
Just found our that i left my usb cable at work
Thanks again for your suggestion. I will try this after the weekend.

Some more info.
The last one is from Event Viewer, where it claims that this version of Windows does not support Windows Portable Device drivers.
What a bunch of bollox, my HTC HD2 synced just fine. Must be Samsung crappy driver I guess.
And yeah, I got v 4.5 of windows installer.
update: after lots of googling, I've solved the issue.
re-installed Windows Mediaplayer 11 !

huh?.. mediaplayer? wierd solution ..
I had this issue too, on my moms pc.
I installed kies befor plugging my phone to the pc, it worked perfectly then, installed the drivers and all. could not see if you had tried that. so its worth a shot
another thing to keep in mind
open TASK Manager in Windows
and make sure ADB.EXE is not running
if ADB.exe is there just end task it
when ADB.exe is left in memory, it locks up the USB connection with the phone, and Kies goes into dumb mode

Not really, WMP 10 is the one responsible for the stock MTP driver.
My old computer worked fine with kies, but this new 64 bit one just wont insall the mtp driver, even if i try manually.
Just a quick note on what I discovered last night when trying to get my SGS connected.
Bluetoothe needs to be off
It has to be using the stock Home screen I was as ever using LauncherPro. As soon as I switched back to stock it connected.

try what I did, re-install WMP 10 (or 11)
I don't know if this is obvious or not... but if your running a downloaded Launcher such as Launcher Pro... make sure you revert back to the stock launcher when trying to connect to KIES. This has been my problem until I stumbled across it last week.

Use Flashtool 0.2.9.1 or switch to a more recent version of Windows if you want to run Flashtool 0.6.x.x

thanks for the reply cause i think the problem causing is due to driver
previously in my old machine i used gordon driver at that time every thing worked fine
lol, wtf do you mean, changed driver? you got rid of the driver?
meh, never mind.
ankitxperia said:
thanks for the reply and what about drivers should i install drivers which came from flashtool ot the gordon driver

Your call. Either install PCC to have the SEMC drivers installed or use the Gordon's Gate setup that comes with Flashtool.

Use Flashtool 0.2.9.1
Newer versions won't work with your crap of an severly outdated OS.

No!, Not flashtool 0.53, flashtool 2.9.1
Where the hell did you get 0.53 from anyway?

1st: Your computer OS is a bit old, outdated........That is one of the reason's why it crashes
I suggest you get a new OS or update your OS
I.E
LinuxMint (what i use, but im still unable to use flashtool at all LOL)
OR
Move to a newer version of windows I.E: Windows vista or Windows 7
Hope it helps

Most likely out of my "Flashtool" folder on MediaFire as I keep a collection of different versions there.

Im not sure. But if everything fails u can use the have disc method.
How to; google it. There is detailed instructions on the laptopvideotogo page. This basically forces install of a driver, it will work as long as the driver is installed at the right device, and at the right tine ( flash mode, bios and normal operating mode utilize different drivers )
I managed to sort my laptop in the end which already had the drivers installed. Ended up having to do a repair

i successfully launched flashtool the problem is in mozilla firefox plugin i guess. The only problem is my flashtool said No Device registered even if i installed all the drivers correctly. When I'm trying to sync in github it's just stuck on it nothing happens.

look I have windows 7 and I had problems with earlier versions of flashtool, what I recommend is that you make a test on another pc since apparently it is problem of your USB ports, or failing that should see if the USB port your phone works properly.
