Compatible with windows 8

[mrjraider]

Hello,

This device has given me more problem than joy but whatever,

I want to repair my device with Sony Update Centre however the program misses the XSP (run it in compatible mode is the answer.. F*&% you Sony you need to fix this) but now my device is not recognized by my computer. I have PC companion and Sony Update Centre installed but when I connect my phone into either flash or fastboot my pc gives a pop up:

Windows does not recognize the connected usb device for F^#%# sake..

So I went to Sony website to look for proper drivers and what do you think there is no SP in the list, Really Sony? 

So my question is: How the F!@# do I fix this? 

I do believe that Sony is horrible with this device because nothing seems to work..

To solve the issue, open Device Manager on your computer to reinstall the driver for your device while your device is connected with your PC via a USB cable.

To open Device manager on your computer

Click the Desktop Tile to open the Desktop. 
Click >> at the bottom right of the taskbar. 
Select Control Panel from the Menu. 
Select Device Manager from the list of control panel items.
Note: If you do not see the screen with the Device Manager option, click the View by drop-down menu and select Small icons.

To reinstall the drivers for your device

Scroll down to the Universal Serial Bus controllers (USB section) of the Device Manager window. 
Look for an MTP Device: Media Device, Unknown Device or any other reference to your phone. Click on this entry and choose "Uninstall" whilst leaving the device connected. 
Wait a few minutes, and the computer will reinstall the drivers for the device.
Now, the phone is accessible via Computer/My Computer on your computer.
