how about ehternet adapter on the z3+? is it working with lollipop?

I'm not entirely sure that OTG is even enabled on the device kernel. I've tried several OTG devices and adapters, all of which work fine on my other android devices. But the Z3+ refuses to detect any of them. With my OTG flash drive, when I plug it in to other devices the led on the drive flashes for a second and then pulsates one the mobile devices has detected it and used the usb icon in notification. That same drive doesn't even flash when I connect it to my Z3+ so it's clear no power is being transferred at all.

hey if you have problem with(no usb detected) and there no problem with you phone. try use otg adapter without any cable. i have same problem before. my otg with cable working fine with my tablet but in sony somehow it very hard to detect it and if i move it will disconnected. lucky my new otg that dont have any cable working fine. it detect all usb device.(note:sony only accept it as usb if there any chip in device soo dont try to use otg as power source for lamp/fan/etc. it wont work)

What should be done to get access again in PC?
Set USB debugging on. Plugin phone. You should see a popup on the top of the screen asking you to mount your sdcard.
Those actions were done. As you could see from the screenshot, he was able to use adb shell via usb connection. But "ls /sdcard" shows nothing but returning to #.

Where is the screenshot?
From here the Post 1 shows a picture.
Anyway, I uploaded to another host.
Looks like there is nothing in the "sdcard"

i hade the same issue. i thought it was hardware, but its the rom. i had miui 1.9.9 and it wouldnt even charge via usb. so i eyeballed the usb port and it was fine, so i switched to LGB 1.whatever. then the usb mounting worked agian, but the charging still did not work so i switched to OMFG and that did the trick. then i charged my phone overnight on a 12v charger and my phone never booted agian. good thing im due for an upgrade!
Some times my phone don't access to the sdcard when I have activated usb debug

Request: [APP] [T] [ICS] SD Mounter as Mass Storage V. [-]

I know that this App is develped for the [P][ICS] SD Mounter as Mass Storage V2.0 {Dt: 01/July} by DooMLorD - / - Soheil_rf .
I would be nice if this could be made for the Xperia T for Linux users.
I also have a Xperia P and this App works great.
I asked DooMLorD - / - Soheil_rf for a custom version of the App for the Xperia T.
Looks like this App we need on the Xperia T with ICS.
Any one else here who can make this work?
Would be great.

TX have MSC & MTP options for USB connection.

have you installed kies? if not then first install that without the phone plugged in. once installed plug the phone and keep the usb debugging off
now its showing this after installing kies
sometimes it connects but after i try like 10 or 15 times
Switch to mass storage.
There are some apps on the market that do it.
Im using something referred to by galactus in the pa3 thread.
Search for ums there. Good luck.

What usb cable are you using? If you are using the one that came with the note then it sure is software problem. Otherwise it's your cable

Restart your PC. Install Kies. Connect you PC to the internet. Then plug your device in.

[Q] Windows cannot recognise my HTC when in bootloader

I am using the HTC One Toolkit but when I select the "Get Token ID" option, I am taken to the bootloader but I get the following message on my laptop...

I installed the correct drivers and have even followed this post with no luck. I also tried different USB cables but no luck there. I even formatted my laptop, re-installed windows 8 and installed all the correct drivers. But nothing seems to be fixing this issue.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
P.S. I have 4 USB ports and they all say "SS" above them (with one saying "SS" with a lightning icon next to it), so I'm not sure if they're USB 3.0 or 2.0.

If the USB ports are blue then they're USB 3 and which may be the cause of the problem you're experiencing.... SS probably means superspeed which is USB 3

Well none of them are blue but a Google search shows that they're ALL usb 3.0
I'm currently trying an alternative method I found in the link I posted in my OP.

[Q] [HELP] Does anyone know where the Testpoint is on the Z3 Compact???

Hey guys, I've tried looking all over the net but I cant find the Testpoint for the Z3 Compact.
My device is bricked I believe.
Im trying to recover my device with these methods:
-http://sony.yt/topic/7324-english-tutorial-how-to-unbrick-and-update-boot-in-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-c6616/
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646405
I also found this on the sony development site:
-http://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/how-to-access-uart-ports-on-xperia-devices/
It shows UART ports (dont know what there are) under the battery on the Z3 Compact but Im not sure if this is the testpoint?
Im also not sure if that UART connection can be used to recover devices....?
I get these symptoms:
-can't power on after flash,
-no lcd or led reaction for power button,
-no lcd reaction for charger,
- PC/flashtool can't detect your phone with vol-,
-phone does not vibrate when holding vol+ and power together.
-shows up in device manager as SOMC flash device
-flashtool shows device is connected with usb debugging off but no response with vol- and plug in usb to start flashing.
I also posted about my device in a previous thread I posted here and explains some more detail:
-http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/help-sony-xperia-z3-compact-unknown-usb-t3516887
That post kinda died and I dont really want to jtag my device because its just way too expensive.
I would like to try out other methods
Thanks in advanced!

SOMC flash device shows when phone can't read eMMC. If You didn't flash it with Nokia 3310 firmware or wipe whole eMMC I suppose it's hardware failure. It's common in SOny phones, I have many of those monthly and only changing eMMC is solution.

Hey thanks for the reply! I didnt get any notification that I had a reply to my thread, which is weird...
So is it possible to change eMMC on my phone to fix it? How can I go about doing that? Do you know of any videos/tutorials?
Thanks!
You can change eMMC IC but to do that You have to use Hot Air or BGA IRDA station.
