Root Rooting disabled usb pc connection and charging

[DariusBreedt]

Hi i was trying to root my Sony Xperia Z (C3306), and it was not successful. If i plug a charger or USB cable to the phone it makes the connection sound but no charging, when my phone is off it charges. Any ideas?

Welcome to Android Forums!

Does the phone still boot up? Do you have Sony's PC Companion software installed on your computer, and if so does it detect the phone correctly?

it starts up correctly, im using it i build a dock charger out of legos to charge it, i instaled the Sony PC Companion software noting it says device not recognised i used divrent Pc's, USB cables and a even a Sony Xperia Z3 (my Pc reads the Z3)

Hmm, that's not a good sign.

All I can suggest is to download and install FlashTool on your PC. This can then be used to download and flash a stock firmware to the device which will (hopefully) solve the problem.

There are a few standalone rooting apps available, but tbh I always advise using a computer if available as it gives you a "get out of jail card" if things go wrong. The aforementioned FlashTool can root all but the latest 5.0.2 firmware, for example.

In any case, I don't advise proceeding further until the device is working correctly.

Too use the flashtool i must root my android phone

Kingo 4.1 apk worked for my phone even though it isn't listed.
I never recommend rooting without unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery but I don't have a PC so I just did it and I'll only root access for relatively safe operations/apps

Negative. FlashTool doesn't require root to flash firmwares.

Flashtool doesn't require root, it is what you will use to flash new firmware and possibly to root, depending what method you use.
I had a problem with my Z1 ages ago with the computer not recognising it. I think I just downloaded the drivers from Sony and that fixed it. Worth a try. Believe yours are here...

Hmm, did you select just up to "...\Xperia_Z_Driver" and include all sub folders?
It is just Xperia Z (assume was meant to read C6603 not C3306)?

My phone dont want to boot into flashmode

Did you install the FlashTool drivers when prompted during installation?

My phone dont want to boot into flashmode

If it won't go into flashmode then it'll be almost impossible to fix. Your only option may be a Sony Service Centre, I'm afraid.
