[Q] Xperia ZL (C6502) USB Debugging connection problem

[Ryzul]

Hi everyone.

I was having a problem regarding usb debugging connection of the Xperia ZL C6502. I was using Win 7 64-bit. My problem is that under Device Manager, it shows C6502 (refer to attachment below). I uninstalled it and let it reinstalled, but still windows was unable to find ANY driver for it. I already installed the Google Drivers and ADB Universal drivers, even had Sony PC Companion installed to latest version (to date) too. Even that do not help as it was still unable to correct the problem. But strange thing is, when connected with usb debug off, it was working with proper driver installed, displaying as Xperia ZL in Device Manager. The same with Flashmode (SEMC Flash Device) and Fastboot mode (Android ADB Interface).

I was wondering if it could be the fault of my Windows system or that there is some solutions that I've overlook. Hope any devs or gurus could help me with this. I really need to solve this problem ASAP. Thanks in advance guys!

Umm.. Anyone? I have searched high and low in the other threads even I tried Google, but still I can't seem to solve this problem. I've even brought myself into the solutions for Nexus devices, I tried the solutions but it seems that my problem is not solved. Oh please don't tell me I have to send it over to Sony

RE: xperia zl usb driver

I think that you have not done enough research...
anyways I got in the same problem today..
to solve the issue follow this steps:

1. download usb driver from this linkit is same for Z & ZL) [remove spaces it is not allowing me to post link]

h t t p : / / developer . sonymobile . com / downloads / drivers / xperia - z- driver /

2. unzip the drive file

3. right click on C6502 in device manager select update driver

4. n from that select file from my computer & select the driver folder...

5. go to eclipse -> window -> open perspective -> devices n check

Okay, I've did like you suggest, but Windows was unable to find any driver.

I've started up eclipse and do as you said, but (refer to attachment) I was unable to find the "devices".

What am I doing wrong? Arghh... I really need to root this phone, so that I can unlock the tracking feature or some security stuffs so that I can retrieve my phone when it got lost or stolen. Anyway, thanks for you help aks0020

re:ZL usb debugging

to see the devices you can also go to DDMS...

but first u need to install that driver successfully...

I suggest you to retry the driver installation keep phone connected with usb debugging & Allow mock location options on

After successful installation u should see new driver in device manager as shown in attached snaps....

Problem Solved, or so it seems..

Okay, stayed up whole night reinstalling a clean copy of Windows 7 64-bit, finally I am able to make Windows 7 recognize my Sony Xperia ZL (C6502) when connected in USB Debugging mode. Yup it is connected properly now, compared to earlier. Just a little patience and some determination

Apparently, I've followed aks0020's suggestion to turn on Mock Location as well, and perhaps having a 'clean' Windows 7 installation helped to correct this problem. Maybe earlier my Windows 7 has faulty drivers database

Anyway, problem is solved, I can finally root my Xperia ZL. And for those curious, can refer to the attachment below :victory:
