@Sam: Its not working...i uninstalled the drivers, waited for sm time with data cable still attached and nothing happened. I waited for around 30 minutes. Then i unplugged the cable, plugged it again, same problem.

@alexdon i tried both, with debugging on and off!!

That is different...in my casephone is acting normal towards charging...let it be using charger or USB via PC. It's just that I can not open my phone on PC as when i connect it, charging LED gets on but error comes on PC - "USB not recognized". There is no problem with charging.

From me,repairing the phone software or taking the phone to a sony center is the last option..
