Eclipse is not able to detect my phone xperia C2004 device. I have installed sony PC companion. The PC companion detects my phone and I am able to transfer the media .

-I have enabled the debugging mode on my device . -USB connection mode is Mass Storage Mode (MSC). -running adb devices in cmd does not show up my device. -in device manager other device option only shows up Android -In portable device my phone shows up.

I have done all the above but still I am not able to detect the device on eclipse

I've had this before (quite a few times) - There's a nack to it! What you'll need is some kind of usb device listing program, something like "lsusb". Then:

  1. Run lsusb in a command prompt (It'll output something like below):

    C:\Users\Loki\Downloads\lsusb>lsusb lsusb VendorID:046d ProductID:c05b
    "USB Input Device" "Logitech" "USB Optical Mouse"

  2. Get the vendor id from the output, for your device.

  3. Next, navigate to: "C:\Users\.android" (I'm presuming a windows environment, sorry)
  4. Inside there you may/may not a file called: adb_usb.ini (if not, create it, it's fine). If you do have it, open it up.
  5. Inside this file you need to ensure that each vendor ID (for problematic devices) is listed on a newline: So once, you've got your vendor id, type: 0xVENDORID (so in my case it would be: 0x046d and save the file.

After that you should be good. This works for me all of the time, but I have heard of some other odd devices that wont be seen even after this either. Hopefully this helps you out!
