Hi everyone
i have a very rare problem with my x10 which is stocked at Sony Ericsson logo.
the problem is caused by flashing FeraLab Rom without flashing the FeraKernel before that. I didnt knew kernel is a most and should be installed first and that started to fuc my phone..
after that i tried everything in the net, installed everything that was related to xperia x10 drivers to get it detected by the PC but it just doesnt work and im still having the damn problem.
i tried using sony companion, sony update service ( which i guess doesnt support sony ericsson phones anymore ) to repair and anything els. but they're not helping me either.
I just need some help here to get my xperia x10 get detected by the windows 7 and flashtools/sony companion to repair it and reflash the roms.
right now when i connect it to pc it just says Unknown Device detected and by trying to updating driver with sdk tool and everything els, it still has problems. another message i get during this process is USB Device Not Recognized.
if any expert here have solutions for me, please give it to me, im stuck on this for about 1 week and you may know what that make me feel..
ok, first you must install SEMC flash drivers for X10, this are drivers that I used on my Win7 and Win8.1

can you tell me what should i exactly do with those files? i dont know how they work.
thanks for helpin!
you need to connect your device in flash mode in order to install this drivers. To do this, first turn off your X10 and unplug it from your PC. Then press and hold back button and connect the phone to PC USB port. You should see black screen and green LED on, and the PC should find a new device called "SEMC HSUSB Device". Now install on this new founded device drivers from above.

try to disable digital signature requirement using this method:
Method 1.
Go to Start Menu and type "cmd.exe" in the Search Bar and press <Enter>. (Remember you must be logged on as Administrator)
OR you can go to "All Programs", then "Accessories", right-click on "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as administrator".
1. Now type the following and press <Enter> after each line:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
2. Restart your computer
3. This will disable your Windows 7 driver signing.
4. Install the driver for your device (X10i)
If this did NOT work for you, here is another way to disable Windows 7 driver signing.
Method 2.
1. During boot-up, continuously press <F8> to get to Advanced Boot Options. Note: On some systems, you need to first press <F2> to go into Boot Menu, then press <F8> to reach Advanced Boot Options.
2. When the menu appears, use the DOWN arrow key to scroll to “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.”
3. Press <Enter>.
4. Continue the boot process.
5. After your computer has completed the boot process, try to install the driver for your device.
Hope this helps..

Hi buddy
Here U R
the link you want it
as I'm new I cant send link in form of Url
follow this ht tp://w w w.mediafire.com/download.php?y89fff6mc8hblia
I had a similiar problem, though not the same. It was fixed after a reboot of my Windows 7 x64. I think my computer had problems dealing with the USB being connected and disconnected an awful lot. I have no idea if this is where your problem comes from, but it might help if you're like me and prefer leaving your computer on at all times.
Also, if you're quite new to rooting and flashing, and aren't that interested in learning the ins and outs of it, I recomend using Flashtool [1] for flashing to an earlier version of stock Android, rooting your Android, easy booting in fastmode and flashing your kernel. The only use I've found for fastboot.exe is to unlock your bootloader [2] (official guide by Sony Mobile), though I might be missing out on something (while I actually do not believe I have).
Please keep us posted.
As I'm a new member, I can't link directly to outside sites, but I'm going to break that rule to try and help you even further (ie. I did the Googling for you). Replace the spaces below with periods. Links:

thanks but actually i have unlocked bootloader.. and i have some xperience because i had x8 and i have tweaked it full
Had similar problem!
First couldn't get into fastboot, had problem installing S1 driver. Changed the USB port on my PC and it asked to install the S1 again. Chose the directory where it was and voila.
Now I have to use 2 different USB port for fast boot and flashmode. Little annoying but I got used to it.
Try it, it may work for you.
Reinstalling Windows should be your last step, especially a stable OS as Win 7!
P.s. Why don't you use Flashtool? In it's newer version there's a *.exe (under drivers folder) file that automatically install all needed drivers.

thanks for yur response.... its start charging!
try to change the connection mode from MTP to MSC or vice versa.
make sure you have the latest pc companion installed. if it is there try to re-install the pc companion. also try to be connected with the internet while connecting the phone.
if your phone is able to charge it self, then the phone & cable is fine. its an issue with your pc / drivers installed in PC.
you also try to remove the pc companion, & let windows detect itself the phone as media device & then install the pc companion

USB Drivers on Windows 10
Greetings!
I have been playing around with my Xperia Z2 for a couple of days now, and I cannot seem to get the last remaining drivers installed, that is required for me to unlock boot loader.
I have tried the ways described on Androids "unlockbootloader" website, without succes.
Then I started googling around, and found a driver tool in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830) and when I run the program, and select the "Fastboot Drivers", it fails the installation.

I used the drivers from Flashtool. But you have to go through the steps on that page to the letter. They apply exactly the same on Windows 10 as on Windows 8.
Before, I would just get that they failed. After following procedure, when I used the Flashtool driver install, it then asks "do you want to install this unsigned driver", just as it's lined out on that page.
In Windows 10, you have to disable driver signature verification on boot.
To do so: Start>Settings>Update and security>restore>Advanced boot (or something similar):
From there, choose the Troubleshoot option>Then head into Advanced options>Then Startup Settings. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time. Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.

Hello,
I would like to root my Z5C, but I can't load the phone in fastboot mode.
I tried the following :
adb reboot bootloader (with my phone one, with usb debug)
the phone shut down completely, but nothing is displayed on the screen
power up + volume up (from my phone shutdowned)
there are three vibrations, and sometimes the logo Xperia appears for a few second, but then the screen show the charging icon
power down + plug usb (from my phone shutdowned)
nothing appends
each time, I tried the following command to check if the phone was indeed in fastboot mode :
fastboot devices
but I get nothing (empty list).
Could you help me please?
thanks in advance.
As far as I know, only the led will light up. The display stays black. Have you looked in the device manager if your device is recognized there. Maybe as an unknown device etc?
then I probably don't have the correct driver. I installed this one
developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z5-compact-driver
Do you know where I can find the correct driver?
In device manager, I see a new item when I plug my phone :
USB mass storage device
I tried to update the driver with the one mentioned before, but it says that it is already up to date.

You've got some commands wrong. Volume up plus power is hard reset. You get 3 vibrations then phone is off.
To get into fastboot mode or flash mode you do not use power button and phone needs to be off. Simply hold volume up and plug in USB for fastboot mode, or hold volume down plus plug in USB for flash mode. Blue LED for fastboot and green LED for flash mode.

Hi ,
The Best Thing To Install KB2917929 Is To Remove The KB2919355 Update
To remove the update, follow these methods:
Press Windows Key + X.
Click on Programs and Features.
Click on View installed updates on the left hand side.
Find the update KB2919355, right click on it and Uninstall.
After That Re Install The KB2917929 Update And It Will Be Installed

But when I tried to uninstal KB2919355 I got this error :
An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalledI gave up and tried to install the usb driver from a folder. I downloaded the following driver : developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
but when I tried to update the driver, I get a message error saying
windows could not find driver software for your device.I run out of option (I might try this with linux, but I have no machine running under linux right now).
try forcing install of the driver by selecting the unknow device/detected phone and update/install driver by "find software driver in pc" then "choose manually driver from a driver list" then "driver disk" button on the right, "explore" and go the folder and select the downloaded driver. Be sure to install the correct driver described in the guides.
I get the following after selecting the "driver disk" :

I suppose that by explore you mean Have disk.
I tried to select the usb driver directory, and I get the following error :
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systemThe folder I selected is the unzip of the driver from developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

Heyo
Following situation:
I tried to root and flash my old Sony Xperia Z3 compact which I have been using as an mp3 player. I successfully did so (I think), however when I wiped my data to flash to linage os, it gave me error 7. I assumed it was because my TWRP version was way out of date so I updated that, and hit "reboot into recovery" to activate the new twrp version.
Unfortunately the phone didn't boot into recovery and just wound up stuck at the sony screen without anything else since no OS is installed.
I can't boot into recovery manually either, it just boots into the sony logo and gets stuck there.
I do have a backup in twrp but I can't install that since I can't get into recovery, and I can't manually access the storage since usb debugging is not active while on the sony startup screen.
Is there anything I can do or is my z3c rip?
I can connect the phone in fastboot and flashmode and flashtool does recognize it, however I can't really seem to do anything while in flashmode and fastboot mode doesn't work since flashtool tells me I don't have the right drivers for the device, however when I try to install the driveres it hands out an error message

Is there anything I can do or is my z3c rip?
I can connect the phone in fastboot and flashmode and flashtool does recognize it, however I can't really seem to do anything while in flashmode and fastboot mode doesn't work since flashtool tells me I don't have the right drivers for the device, however when I try to install the driveres it hands out an error message

If your using Windows 10 you'll probably need a Windows 7 virtual machine if you don't have a physical PC with Windows 7 already installed. That or you'll need to turn on test mode for Windows
But if I may ask what fhe error(s) output whwn trying to install said drivers?

I've attatched 4 screenshots in my OP, thats all I see, it doesn't actually state what the error is, just that it didn't finish.
Will it go through with win7? Actually that aside, is there a way to force a new os onto the phone via the flashtool to begin with?
Since your Windows computer needs to recognize the Xperia z3 based on Qualcomm chipset once connected, the PC should have installed proper USB drivers. which in no case depends on Windows version or Windows edition. You have to obtain the USB drivers and also the ADB / Fastboot drivers from OEM's / Carrier's website. It's never a good idea to install the ADB / Fastboot drivers elsewhere offered on WEB.
And once installed, restart the PC.
If successful then use

My carrier doesn't offer any drivers whatsoever.
But all of that aside, even if I do get fastboot running, is there even a way to force a new OS onto the phone via some tool?
