When I try z4 its not working , when I try superoneclick its stoping at searching device I maked all like its writed debuging etc but its not working I have 2.1 update 1 please help thx

Do you have superoneclick 1.7?
That worked for me.
Just open it, let it start daemon and adb and when ot says "waiting dor device" connect your phone to the pc,with usb debugging enabled.
That worked for me.

Install SE PC companion, it installs some ADB stuff etc.

i used SuperoneClick v2.1.1.0 and was the only that work fine on me!
the best drivers was SEUS(sony ericsson update service).

"USB not recognised", Odin download mode problem

Hey. Im brand new to this forum and to Android aswell since i came from Iphone. Yea im a noob and sorry if you notice bad english
So i received my SGS2 some days ago and after researching about root/custom roms and stuff, I decided to start with rootin my SGS2. i download Odin3 1.85 and superoneclick, i also liked litening rom v1.1 and downloaded that too.
So i turn on "USB debugging" and turn off the phone to enter "download mode" and when i try to connect to Odin, nothing shows up. And Windows bar tells me that usb is not recognised. But... flash drive/transferring files and connecting to Kies works just fine. Please help me, ive been sitting over 24 hours with this issue and ive restarted/uninstalled installed pretty much everything over and over again (kies/drivers/device) not windows though. Why wont Windows/odin recognise it in download mode???
And if possible, is there a way around to install litening rom??
Thats weird man....very very unlikely to happen...
Just tell us step by step with screen shots if possible then it becomes very easy for us to find where u r doing it wrong...ok ?
Turn off USB debugging .
reboot phone and PC .

While being in download mode on the phone, the pc/odin is not recognising anything
but everything works fine and recognises when i transfer files or use Kies

This is a driver problem. The Gadget Driver fails to get installed properly.
Make sure Windows Update are set to automatically find drivers for your devices.
I myself faced this problem. To rectify it I'd to try the same thing on a different machine and it worked flawlessly there.
The problem you're facing is that the Service Mode drivers are not getting installed, hence Odin is unable to recognize it.
Other possible fixes include, trying on different USB Ports, downloading Samsung PC Studio.
Thx for the replies everyone. Yea i figured its a driver issue, ill try the suggested actions incl samsung pc studio installing, and if its still not working i guess my last resort is using another pc or reinstalling windows on my own pc
In kies, i think in the tools menu, there is a install drivers option. This will fix the problem im sure. Not sure about pc studio having the same.

fyi, i reinstalled windows and updated everything and the driver connection issue is solved now. I should have done this from the beginning instead of freaking out for several midnight hours lol thx for the help everyone, hopefully the rooting and flashing process should happen painless now
if anyone has this problem too,
i had the same problem and for me closing kies helped.

[Q] Sony Xperia X8 root issue

Hello guys
I ran through n no. of threads
I checked the steps for rooting the phone
And i did it accordingly but the "waiting for device" issue still prevails
I downloaded SE USB drivers as well though i don't know how to install them
I've PC companion's 2.0.0 version
I've SuperOneClick's 1.7 version
I'll tell you the steps i followed
1. SuperOneclick started
2. Click ROOT tab
3. Starting ADB... Waiting for status
4. With Unknown sources ON and USB debugging ON, i connect the phone
Even then it says Waiting for device
I read in the forums that it needs Windows Vista or 7
I've Windows XP Professional though 2002 Service pack 2 version
Pls help me get through this problem
Sorry for creating a new thread but i've been trying to this since hours together
What is the exact problem? And how do i check whether I've latest Sony Ericsson USB Drivers?
When it says waiting for device when phone is connected try to turn usb degging off and on or try to root phone with FlashTool
I´ve rooted on XP 2002 Home Edition SP3 without any problems.
Try it the following way, it worked perfectfor my sister´s phone with SE 2.1 (because I don´t know what I did with my phone any more , and we both have an E15i :
First of all, be sure that you are using the computer where you´ve upgraded to 2.1, or download the X8-drivers somewhere (google is your friend!^^)
extract the attached SuperOneClick.
Run the SuperOneClick.exe.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, but do not connect it yet.
Click "root".
let SOC start the ADB and the other stuff.
Connect your phone when it says "waiting for device".
After a few seconds, you should have root.
Try to install Sony ericsson update service...it will install the latest drivers during the installation of the program..

Major issue here regarding the usb drivers..

Right, ive recently built a new system and it has windows 7 64bit on it, and im trying to get my phone in to flash mode, BUT windows 7 refuses to accept any drivers for the SEMC flash thing, so as a result i cant get it to work, everytime i try and install a driver it says something about not being the correct one..Anyone have any ideas why? or have any idea how to get it to work.

You would need to install Pc companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service in order for the drivers to work.
Maybe the reason why Win7 is refusing to connect ADB with your device.
Good luck

My Kernel is from nAa-10 and custom rom S-Rom
you tried to use on another computer?
This error means two things.
1) You don't have SEUS/PC Companion installed
2) Your USB/USB cable is broken.

Updating Yotaphone 2 YD201 ME Build

Dear all, I'm new here and just got my yotaphone 2 today, bought it locally from UAE, i beleive that the build ME refers to Middle East, got an android version of 4.4.3 YD201 model.
I thought that YD201 models are OTA updatable versions but seems not
Please can you guide me in a simple way how to update to lollipop? Noting that I've never flashed or done this before
Thank you so much..

You can follow this guide fully but you don't need to flash HK first, so you just flash RU 5.0.0 firmware directly.

Thank you so much.. Totally appreciate that.. But I don't know if it really matters as the tools relates to YD206 while I have YD201.. Should I proceed ?
By the tools do you mean YotaphoneFlasher? It works on both 201 and 206 since it's from official.
Thank you again.. OK I'm all set everything is ready but the only thing that's keeping me is drivers installation... Somehow the Google drive coming with the flasher is not being installed. I tried all ways possible, I.e. right click on the INF file and install but I get error message, and also tried to install it from device manager but couldn't. Can you please help with this? Thanks again
Btw I'm using Windows 7
Would you mind to post the srceenshot so I know your problem?

my dear friend, i managed to update the driver, thanks to you, but it seems that when i power off the phone and enter the "downloading " mode on the phone screen then connect it to the computer it seems the phone is not being connected.. i used the flasher chosed option 1 "flash the cellphone" then i get the message "waiting for device" on the flasher..
i had a screenshot just to show that i have done everything i should (i guess) .. i.e. copied the firmware.. etc,,,
mindyou, i think the problem is that when i conncet the phone to usb it goes under other devices/Android which is not being recognized..
you are the best and thank you for your help again and again!
Weird. Do you've already install both drivers and restart your computer?
If yes, how about try to plug another usb port?
I got both ADB and Qualm drivers installed.. but nothing happening! I tried the 3 usb ports already..
I don't know how to solve this.. I think I need to try it on another computer .. maybe it'll work out!
Your driver not properly install. Try reboot pc, enable usb debugging at phone, plug in usb. See if there is any changes at device manager.
There is yellow triangle. So it mean.. Oh.. Oo..
If stilk not ok. Plug out usb from pc. At device manager, unsinstall both yellow triangle. Plug in back usb. So it will detect device and windows trying to install it.
If you have Windows 10 you have to disable signature driver verification, entering in the advanced boot menu of windows. After that the .inf driver will install.
I got the update at last and it's working beautifully smooth I downloaded universal driver from adbdriver.com and it worked perfectly. Thank you all guys for your help and efforts
