Hi.. Today for the first time i have experienced some strange problem.. When i connect my phone to PC via usb cable, the battery starts charging but my phone doesn't give me the option to mount the SD card.. It doesn't even see the pc it only charges the battery..
I've figured that out by accident, when i tried to use "adb" to connect to my phone, adb couldn't see the phone even though it is connected..
I'm using froyobread rom, and have used it for a couple of days and everything was fine until now.. Any suggestions? Might this be a hardware issue?
Change rom, if it remains then it is hardware problem, if it is solved then you have to reflash the rom or try another..

Kernel?

I am almost sure that this is a ROM problem.
Did you full wipe ?
If the problem persists , try opting for another ROM
Hmm try different port on your PC. BTW what kernel do you use, stock? If stock then you might want to try re flashing the rom w/out wiping data and see it still persist if still persist try a clean flash, if still persist then ya might be problem with your usb cable/port or the PC or phone itself.
I've got the same problem but im using LinuXperia Yoper V1 , i did full wipe and install ROM over again , install diffrent ROMs,try plug in the other USB port and all of that ... BUT i dont have the original cable which SE gave us ... mine its not original ;/ but it was working , now its not ;/ same problem as OP ..
Mount via CWM...
In CWM, under Mounts, try connecting phone to computer and mount USB storage. If this can be accessed, then it it likely a rom issue.
Also, when you connect USB to computer, is there a "device software driver installing" notification (on windows) and then does it install driver successfully? If there is no driver installed, the comupter cannot read anything
Thanks for all the replies.. I'm using stock kernel.. I've tried to revert the backup made with xrecovery to the earlier stage when the USB was still working.. And it still doesn't work.. Can't figure this out..
I'm using USB cable that came with the phone.. Original SE cable.
The trick is, after flashing the rom for the first time, it worked great, but a weat or two later, i couldn't use usb.
Tried connecting it to other usb ports, tried connecting it to other PC's.. Doesn't work..
@yusiang1998
I've tried under xrecovery the same option, still doesn't work, I'll try now with CWM and will get back with the results.. If everything else fails, I'll try to revert to a stock backup made with xrecovery.
Okay, just to update.. Mounting the USB from CWM failed.. PC still can't read my phone.. I'm not sure if even my phone can see the PC..
I've noticed another problem - don't know if it's related..
I had FTP Server on my phone and SSH Droid so from time to time when i connect my phone over wifi (on local network) i use my pc to wirelessly download/upload files on to my phone. Now, when this usb problem started to appear, i can't even use those apps.. The service starts sucessfully, but my PC can't connect to my phone address...
And reflashing the rom failed.. And i can't use the flashtool to restore it to factory default settings because of the usb problem :/

Nope.. I havent experienced that. But i don't even charge the phone when it's off.. But what i do experience is sometimes.. After unplugging the charge cable, the led diode still lights in green.. :/
Still can't figure out the usb problem.. Anyone has any other ideas.. Or this is some global X8 problem after a while and has nothing to do with using custom roms xD

When I had this problem turns out it was the Sony Ericsson USB cable as dodgy. It was only after 2 weeks aswell.

What about wall charger? Maybe it is the same? Or maybe it's not even related to the issue and was only temporary. oO
Hey everyone, I need your help and I haven't been able to find the solution through searching.
I had installed CM9 Nightly with no issues except for horrible battery life (having to charge twice a day from my usual once every two days on the stock 2.3.3) so I decided to try out CM7 and apparently that was a huge mistake because now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I get the Galaxy S Cyanogen screen, then it quickly goes through like it's loading something, then flashes the Galaxy GT-I9000M screen then starts all over again.
I can get into the downloading screen with Vol-, Home and Power so I tried using Odin to reflash but when I plug my phone into my computer I get "USB not recognized."
What else can I do?
try download USB driver for samsung galaxy S first, it help me in my case when I soft brick my phone.
1) try using cable to charge the phone, if it does, but does not connect , check cable, or try using another samsung usb cable
2) check micro usb slot for damage or misaligned pins, and also clean
3) try switching off WIFI, reboot phone and try to connect
4) try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
Hello. I've had an X8 for a while, and I got tired of the MiniCM9 and wanted to go back to Eclair. So I downloaded an original firmware (my backups are lost in a damaged computer), got the last Flashtool and installed the " X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf " to my phone. But, now it only loads the Sony Ericsson screen and nothing else. I tried to flash it again several times, but I don't seem to be able to get into flash mode. I press the Back button while connecting, but nothing happens (until I release it, which is when the SE logo loads).
My phone is still responding to the charger and charging the battery with USB, but I can't do anything else.
try repairing using pcc or seus.

Both PC Companion and SEUS require me to press Back while connecting USB (flash) to proceed.

Follow the steps from here. Also download the correct .ftf file(2.1.1.A.0.6), not the baseband ftf file.
got an broken D5803 and hoping to fix it with your help.
(i have no clue what happend to the phone so far)
if i power it on, the notification led is red the sony and xperia sign shows on the screen, but after a short time it restarts.
i can turn it into flahsmode and fastboot mode also.
if i turn it into flash mode and try to flash a firmware with flashtool it goes through the process. but when it restarts, nothing have changed. even the version number havent changed in emma or in flashtool.
any bets what it could be?
i am almost shure its an hardware defect. most propably the main board. but i ask myself what exactly could be broken?!
thanks in advanced for any help.
and sorry for my bad english
oh, and i do tried to search for the same problem and had no success to find the same problem.
EDIT: something new happend. i tried the repair function in the pc companion. flashed again. after restart the battery symbol showed up. battery level low and red. but when i connect it to my charger. the "bootloop" restarts...
I had a similar problem.
My phone went to the bootlogo (blue waves) and started to buzz for five till ten seconds and went to a restart (bootloop).
I am not sure, why that happened, but I think, it was because of a russian firmware (downgrade to Android 4.4.4 for flashing a custom recovery and root).
At first, try to fully recharge your battery (recommended for a firmware flash).
If your phone restarts into bootloop after you connect your charger cable, try to hold the power button until you feel a three-times-vibration. Now your phone should be absolutely powered off.
Download following firmware to your computer: "D5803_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_GLOBAL_1286-9917" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56138053&postcount=27 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58418863&postcount=358)
If your phone is fully recharged, open flashtool and load that firmware into the flashtool.
The system will now ask you to connect your phone in flash mode with your pc.
Now connect your phone with your pc in flash mode.
I am not sure, but flashtool is asking you a question after the flash mode is recognized. I answered with No.
The flashtool should now install the Android 4.4.4 firmware to your phone.
I hope the steps above may help you.
hello. I was using an xperia zr with a ported slim rom which was working just fine except for an earphone problem related to roms above jeallybean 4.3. So in order to give the phone to a friend to use i tried to revert back to stock rom using flashtool which i have done a lot of times. There was no error. i booted into jellybean stock rom and the factory startup service message kept popping up so i went with the use the phone option. The phone was working fine for about an hour then while i was updating apps from google play it just switched off.when i rebooted it the phone would boot up till the sony logo and then power off. The phone gets detected in androxyde flashtool and i tried to flash other stock roms but i am facing the same issue of booting up to the logo and then switching off.
Anyone ever faced similar problems ? ANY IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS ?
Did you tick wipe data and cache in flashtool before flashing the rom?

Use different rom(Kitkat/lollipop)
take the battery out from phone and connect the micro usb to the phone.(do not plug the usb cable to computer now)
start the flashing process .
when it says to connect the phone by holding volume down button
insert the battery and plug the usb to computer by pressing vol down button.
