Reinstall usb driver
I had same problem but it turned out that the best solution is to rely on Win XP where I installed the driver and it managed to fatboot successfully
my Win 7 OS didn't work correctly

Hi,
before you'll say something: i've done everything in every manual i've found, the Flashtool guide für noobies too.
My problem is, i can't root my X10, flashtool says and superoneclick (i have used every version i have found) said always that my phone is not plugged, but it is!!
At the moment i use the latest firmware, 2.1.A.0.435
So what can i do? Has anyone a simple trick?
greetz Cracker, and sorry for my bad english...
Are you sure you have connected your phone is flash mode....you have to hold the back button while you plug in your phone. The notification led will be green if you've done this right..

Flash mode wtf?
Make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging enabled then try again with flashtool

USB Debugging is on, and i tested it also on flash mode, but it doesn't helped.
So, i don't know where's the problem
Oops..my bad...he asked about root
Try changing the usb port and then try rooting... the usb port was the problem in my case, it was recognising other usb devices but not my phone.
Also try installing SEUS first so that it installs the x10 drivers onto the pc.
Thanks for your help guys!
I have tested it on an other PC from my friend and it works perfectly, don't know why
My brother had a same problem, and we spend 2 hours to solve...
The problem is: pc companion or seus not installed before...

Did you turn on usb debugging?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
yes sir i was able to turn on usb debugging evey single intruction on this link i was able to follow perfectly i ended up trying it 3 times now from re-rooting still no, luck :<
any one has an idea how to go around this?
I presume when you restarted the pc, your virus scanner was still off as well as the firewall? Make sure you totally disconnect from the internet when you switch those off. Check wireless as well as wired connections.
I would check in the system device manager of your pc and see if u have any unknown usb devices ahowing when your phone is connected. If so direct it to the usb drivers that comes with flash tool and see if that helps.
It worked for me

i have the same problem with my archos 80g9.
when i asked in here i was told that it was most likely a damaged cable.
not sure though as i dont have another cable to test this theory
Did you try to change from MTP to PTP when you connect your phone?
Connect phone notification connexion usb pc click on it and change to see if it works...
Every question should be on Q/A section.

Hi there,
I have problems with Flashtool version 0.9.13.0 (Latest) , so i tried to plug my phone with Fastboot mode / Flashboot mode and Windows says : "USB Device not recognized"
NOTE: I am using Windows 8.1
I tried going into advanced boot mode and i disabled that driver thing , installed drivers,still nope.
I tried front USB ports and rear USB ports (2.0 USB PORTS)
Still Windows don't recognize phone.
I Bricked phone and now i am frustrated that i cannot access flashtool and flash kernel. (I KNOW HOW TO UNBRICK IT)
Can anyone help , before flashtool worked like charm,and now i don't know why it won't work.
I am downloading Windows 7 and i will try it with Virtualbox , sure it will work but this is not solution.
NOTE: In 0.9.11.0v Flashtool on Win8 it worked.
NOTE: I searched on google but everything leads to that driver thing.

With Windows 8.1, I have two solutions for you.
1. Open a virtual machine.
2. Downgrade that piece of ****!

Nice, dude!
So much easier than Windows.
hello everyone. First time posting here. Im having a terrible time unlocking my bootloader on my tablet following sonys instructions. I get all the way to the part where sony has you download their usb inf replacement file for android sdk. I replace the file, go into fastboot mode on my tablet. the device shows up with the yellow exclamation in device manager but it wont let me update the drivers. I have also attempted to update the drivers through flashtool. nothing seems to work for me and Im at the end of my rope. it just keeps saying that windows cannot find driver software for my device. anyone have any tips or something that can get this working for me? im running android 4.2.2 with firmware 10.3.1.c.0.136 on the sgp311 wifi model. developer mode is enabled as is usb debugging. any help with this would be tremendous.
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?

Strange... It might sound silly, but sometimes people forget it: Did you rebooted after installing the drivers from flashtool?

ya, still not updating the drivers. and when its been connected to the computer and blue light is on not getting anything when I list my fastboot devices. Im wondering if I should try and downgrade to an earlier firmware to use the one touch rooter. is that even possible?
