[Q] Xperia Z Won't Connect to PC

I currently have an Xperia Z (C6603) and whenever I connect it to any PC or Mac, it gives me the warning "USB Device Not Recognized." I have already tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them and it does not work. PC Companion will not detect my phone. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Download sony update service it has all the drivers needed.
You can try another ubs cable and port.

Have you turned on USB Debugging under Settings>Developer Options>Debugging ??
If you haven't, then turn it on and then try rooting :silly:

"WAITING FOR DEVICE" is sign u have to active this option SETTINGS -> DEVELOPER OPTIONS -> USB Debugging :highfive:

I did that, I'm not that ignorant.

Tried Connecting the USB cable to some other free USB port in your computer??
Or you could try uninstalling the drivers under Device manager...and then reconnecting the USB cable..:fingers-crossed:

By the way, i followed DoomLord tutorial to root the phone. Is it possible to "unroot" the phone then ? Without losing the change ?
In fact i needed to be root to change a system file to fix wifi

I have deleted your duplicate Q&A thread.
Installing Sony's PC Companion will automatically install ADB drivers.
Just download it from the Sony site and install it, then just connect your phone (while it is on) and the drivers should be installed.
Also FlashTool will also install the proper drivers.
Just remember to reboot your PC after install.
And only have 1 program using ADB open at 1 time.
Meaning that if PC Companion is running, it will interfere with flashtool working. They both connect via ADB and only ONE can be connected.
I hope it helps

just to cover the basics is USB Debugging is checked on the device?
And neither PC Companion or flashtools see the device?
Make sure there are no entries for sony in the usb section of the device manager in windows.
If you find some just right click and uninstall

i did this yesterday.
downgrade to 534 via flashtool with firmware from here. you can do this without unlocking your bootloader. ta partition will be intact. data will be gone however...
then use kingoroot to root your phone (or whatever you like) and backup your ta-partition. for this you need working adb drivers...
i did the trick with this tool. i've installed the tool, the tool has installed the right adb drivers and then i've removed it. working on win 7 64 bit ultimate
after that you can use this procedure to get a rooted 4.3 firmware.
worked fine for me

really thanks for your reply ill try it today
you are really genius you saved ma day
ive been looking for this **** 3 days and the pdanet saved my ass tanks alot

Hey..
Could you please elaborate your issue a bit? Have you enabled USB debugging? What happens when you run adb devices on your computer?

nothing happens..
actually in previous phone, when turned on debugging for first time it asks something which is not appearing in this phone. i tried flashing 4.2.2 stock and tried again. I got the same result. i reverted back to stock 4.4.4 and still facing the problem

no one to help me :'(

Check any antivirus is not blocking anything
Please run a command window from adb and run this
Code:
adb devices
Make sure you do not have any other adb devices running (Bluestacks etc)
Try a differetnt PC to check if its the phone or PC

Cant connect to PC and access my data

Hey guys,
long story short: I flashed my device and now my pc wont recognise the usb-connection between my phone and computer. The hardware-manager describes as if the phone cant tell the computer that it is a z3 compact.
Errormessage: Unknown USB-device (Cannot get the device description)
*something like that*
what I did to troubleshoot:
- reflash the device with firmeware: A.1.264 (without this strange script)
- reflash the device with the concept preview (without this strange script)
- installed PC Companion from Sony
- Linux cant see the phone, but can flash it
- USB-Debugging wont work as well
Nothing worked for me so far. Anyone an idea what to do?
thanks in advance

Some roms come with the usb functions disabled, removed as bloatware. So it's possible the first rom you tried didn't have the usb functions installed.
Do you have the correct drivers
Presumably flashtool can see your phone and it's still charging, so I'm sure the hardware is ok.
Did you try a repair with PC companion?
Do you have a different usb lead you can try?

Hey,
thanks for your answere. I found a "solution" to connect the phone via fastboot to the pc and with this I could do a complete reset with the PCC. When the phone is booted however I get the same error message over and over again: Cant get a device description!
Maybe you can look up the specific driver which is used in the device-manager so I can force windows to use this one?

Did you install the ADB drivers that come with flashtool? Look in the install folder for a folder called 'drivers' run the exe in there and tik the fist two and then Z3c.

Yep, all three unsigned drivers.
