Hi
Whenever I try to connect the phone to my computer using USB, it simply gives the 'connected usb device' sound and after that nothing, it says the device cannot be recognized or, on a very rare occasion.. It works (2 times in the past 2 months). I tried numerous things, but nothing seems to work.. I just want it to show up as a Diskdrive, nothing more. I run Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
I just tried connecting to another computer with Windows XP. Without any problems, it recognized and installed it in a few seconds. So there's nothing wrong with the device itself or the cable.
Thanks in advance

I'm running windows 7 x64, and Cyanogen's 3.9.7 and suddenly my computer stopped recognizing my phone, it didn't replace the driver with something else, when I plug my phone in it doesn't even communicate with the computer. There is no drop down to mount, and the computer doesn't even see it as being a connected device, I've tried USBDeview and it doesn't show up as being connected at all. I have no idea what to do. Help would be great.
Does it appear in Device Manager?

Nope, not at all.
Tried it with more then one usb cable? One of my cables went bad not too long ago... Also could try different usb port. If all else fails.. try it on the different computer just to rule out hardware issues. If it does not register on different PC then you may need to exchange you device...
Good luck
Hey guys I realy could do with some help here
When I connect my bran new x1 to my laptop (vista 32)
I get this message....
"One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows dose not recognize it for assistance in solving this problem click this message."
And then i get...
"This device has malfunctioned try reconnecting the device or replace it"
I sometimes had this problem on my last x1 but it worked after few reconnection's (my other usb devices allways work fine and so did my first 2 x1s). After trying over 40 times with different ports and different usb
Cables I assumed that it must be a problem with my laptop.
so I did a full destructive restore totally wiped everything off my laptop. Turned it back on and got a different message when I connected the phone.
"Windows mobile adapter has failed"
I typed this into google looking for a solution and found a few random forums that showed other people had had the same problem in Aug 14, 2008, March 17, 2008. a problem thats over a year old will have been fixed I thought. So ill have to wait for windows update to finnish.
After 16 hours of vista updating and resetting updating and resetting i plugged the x1 in and got this message
"usb devise not recognized. One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows dose not recognize it for assistance in solving this problem click this message."
And then i get...
"This device has malfunctioned try reconnecting the device or replace it"
iv updated all my drivers. iv tried Microsoft's fix it tool that scans your computer for errors and it came back with....
"No problems have been detected on your system."
Iv been on the tech guys website.
Iv tried different usb cables,
Istalling windows mobile device center makes no difference,
Iv even tried it on a different computer (running xp)
and still no joy! xp fails to find settings and asks for the cd that came with the device (I didnt get one with this phone (x1)so I used the one from the old phone(x1i) this didnt work and it also gave the option of searching for settings on the internet, this didnt work ither!
Surely theres something iv missed I cant have had 4 Sony Ericsson x1s and they've all been ****ed? each have had different problems. iv tried phoning Sony Ericsson support all they say is send it off for repair but how many times do I have to send these things off? its beyond a joke! I just want one that works!
Any help with my usb problem would be highly appreciated.
Is anybody els having the same problems?
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Generic roms don't need to be HardSPL'd to flash via Micro SD method.
Download one of the generic roms and extract the nbh file (if it's an .exe use winrar to extract the file), rename kovsimg.nbh, whack it on the micro sd card and put the phone into boot loader mode (hold vol down and power when turning on).
Once you have flashed the generic rom, check to see if the usb connection works properly on this version before making any changes.
You should try and get your phone back to stock before sending it away for warranty repair.
You are using Vista, what did you expect lol?
i gave up trying to sync with vista on my laptop. i use xp and active sync.
wish you good luck bro
quite shocked when saw a screen break xperia, lol
I had a Motorola MPx220 which had this problem (I was using XP at the time), the socket on the phone motherboard had gone bad.
If XP is asking for drivers, you need to install ActiveSync first. If you've had 4 X1s and they haven't worked on your Vista computer it is probably your computer. Go back to the XP computer, install ActiveSync (download it off microsoft.com) and try again!
Vista does work with the X1. I think I'm not the only person who can testify to this. It is possible that your computer is not supplying enough power through the USB port- in this case you need to disable charging over a computer USB port on your phone.
have you tried other usb ports? i've had no problems. even on vista 64 or win7 64. i did had problems once, my pc didn't recognize my xperia, but it was to a faulty usb cable, maybe that's your problem too.
Check the settings on your phone. Settings, USB to PC, uncheck that checkbox under ActiveSync. Oh, and switch to Windows 7, bro.
Every now and then (say once every 3 months) I get over-zealous with adding USB ports to my laptop. It comes with two ports standard but I have another two through the use of a PCMCIA extension slot. Say I have a 2.5 HDD, 3.5 HDD, printer and wireless router connected at the same time, most of the ports go bonko.
Thats the source of the "One of the USB Devices has Malfunctioned" warnings. I think its just collectively, there is not enough power to run them efficiently at the same time. Changing USB ports or disconnecting some of the devices tend to work for me.

Pretty sure it's a problem with WMDC caused by a windows update.
You have to delete the device, uninstall WMDC (fully) and reinstall. I'll see if I can find the instructions again.
EDIT:
Uninstall WMDC and WMDC driver update and reinstall the latest WMDC.
OR
Try:
1. Keep your device connected
2. Press START+r and enter "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotation marks).
3. Look under the "Network adapters" node for "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter". If this is not present, skip to step 4. Otherwise, right-click "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and choose to "Uninstall"
4. Look under the "Mobile Devices" node for "Microsoft USB Sync". If this is not present, skip to step 5. Otherwise, right-click "Microsoft USB Sync" and choose to "Uninstall"
5. Disconnect and reconnect your device. Your device driver will re-install and Windows Mobile Device Center will launch.
Then:
6. restart your PC
7. uninstalling (make sure you click the box to remove associated software) both WMDC and WMDC driver update
7. install the latest WMDC 6.1 from link above.
8. restart your PC
I seem to be having a very annoying problem with my Galaxy S when i attempt to use it as "PC Internet" when i plug it in via USB Port.
I plug it in via USB and select PC Internet but after random times its as if i unplugged it and re plugged it back in. I hear the windows sound that you get when you unplug a USB device. So basically for some reason i cannot seem to maintain a connection through USB. Sometimes it works for 10 minutes, sometimes it works for 1 minute ect.
I have tried to set my usb's power save feature off and still getting an issue with it. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to no success.
Not sure if this could be the problem but im running windows 7 64 bit. Hoping that its not a 64bit related issue.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
thx.
forgot to mention im running the stock 2.1 update 1 on the bell version of the phone.
Ok I know this problem has been highlighted several times but I cannot get to the bottom of this...
I'm having problems when the phone is connected to the PC. This only started happening after I unlocked my bootloader. When the phone rebooted after this, the phone made the noise that it was connected to the laptop, followed by a disconnection sound a few seconds later with a message that the MTP device driver could not be installed. I am using Windows 7 x64. Prior to this my phone worked fine with the laptop
After this, I uninstalled all the drivers including HTC sync followed by a restart
I reinstalled all the drivers - still didn't work
I tried 3 different USB cables - still nothing. I also tried these all in different ports
The phone registers in bootloader as fastboot usb. Once in recovery adb no longer works and the device disconnects again
Anyone want to shed some light on this? It happened me before and it somehow seemed to rectify itself
Anyone help me on this?
Tried 5 different USB cables. Also tried on another laptop with windows 8 installed. Still no luck. One of the USB cables charged the phone but did not register under device manager and ADB still did not work...
I am completely at a loss as to why it is doing this
Also, when I connect to a charger, the Car app opens....so I think it may be a voltage problem...

try a windows 7 or xp machine if possible or try a bootable linux distro like unbuntu and see if that can see your device, if it can then I would say your HBOOt on your phone is too old for windows 8+, if none of the above works then its possibly the charging port in the phone itself.
