I guess you use flashtool here...

Have you installed the drivers for it to work? They are under C:\Flashtool\drivers (default path).
Make sure you install the Xperia P's, Flashmode and if you want the Fastboot too.

Also for a weird reason, after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable many times it shows the device as unknown. Disconnect the cable from the computer and the phone and plug it in another port (guess it doesn't matter if it's 2.0 or 3.0, it should work).

Hope that helps!

Yes I have Tried to do that!
But in the process when the Hardware Wizard starts, some of the things get a REd CROSS mark at the end!

Last time when I flashed my phone USB wasnt working on 3.0 but when i Put it to 2.0 It worked but this time its not even working on 2.0

I have also tried XDa! they were saying the problem is with the windows 8
