usb driver installation fails (bootloader unlock tutorial) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi,
I decided to unlock my bootloader following the guide from the sony website (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792) but when I try to install the S1boot fastboot drivers (step 13, which other number could it be ;-)) Windows does not find any suitable drivers in the usb_driver folder. The inf file is in there as well as the rest of the driver, but selecting "install" from the context menu doesn't work either (installation method not supported by this inf file).
Phone: Xperia mini pro SK17i with latest 4.0.4 stock rom (aka pile of s...)
PC: Win7 Pro x64 with latest Android SDK and Google USB driver version 4. Restarted PC as well, more than once.
Any ideas?

Xperia U adb devices not showing on Windows 7 x86

I've got an Xperia U (st25i) unbranded firmware 6.0.B.3.184, but my Windows 7 x64 doesn't show adb device at all, I have a working mtp device (that looks like it cannot be disabled). Same device works fine in adb on linux, even passing the usb device to a vmware machine with linux.
I've tried with Xperia_P_Xperia_U_Xperia_sola_drivers.zip and install PC Companion, but the adb devices still does not show, if I force add the adb interface from inf, windows 7 says it cannot start, there is same problem on windows 7 x86. Windows xp x86 instead automatically installs mtd devices but prompts for the adb device drivers, so I can give him the drivers. Any clue?
Make sure PC is connected to internet then connect the device in fastboot mode. Win7 downloads and installs drivers automatically.

I don't need fastboot drivers, just adb to develop, I'm always connected, but adb interface does not show at all in device manager, I don't have unknown/failed devices in device manager

You have the "wrong" drivers installed. Use the drivers provided with c:\flashtool\drivers
-> then turn off internet on pc before connecting phone. <- prevents windoze from auto install via update

The only driver windows automatically install is the mtd (that doesn't need internet because is in win), I don't have the device VID_0FCE&PID_5171&MI_01 but only VID_0FCE&PID_5171
It's a bit strange a common developer should download a non sony tool to develop with a sony phone
I had a similar problem with my XS, I get around it by enabling 'install PC companion' in connectivity settings under 'xperia'. Then when you plug the phone in, on your phone select install. It should then appear both as an MTP device the PCC installation, just cancel that latter.
I've used the wrong thread title, it should be x64 not x86, I've just verified that windows 7 32bit downloads and installs the adb driver, I had similar problem with gt7500 on windows xp 64bit, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434319
I've solved modifying the inf file, I think I cannot change inf on windows 7 x64 because the driver becomes unsigned. Perhaps gt7500 works fine on windows 7
Heh... You stiill refuse to listen.
Install drivers provided with flashtool. Just doit and report back

tested with internet disconnected and drivers pack in flashtool-0.9.1.0-windows.exe, same thing, windows shows only mtp device

Tell Me how Please....:crying:
I just solved this issue for my Xperia S.
Here are the steps:
1. Install driver on flashtool (I also install the pc companion)
1. On device manager, open the MTP device, and select reinstall device driver
2. Choose install the driver manually and list the compatible driver
3. It would only show one "USB Composite Device" for this device and install it
4. After the driver installed, the adb device just shows up!

[Q] Problem with Odin.

Hi, frist post here.
I'm from Venezyela, sorry for my english first to all.
My problem is that: I want the ClockRecoveryMod for my Samsung Galaxy 550, but I can with Odin, because my PC (Windows 8.1) dont run the Drivers on the "Downloading Mode", The Kies recognizes the phone and I made the Root with SuperOneClick, but with DonloadMode the PC just say me "Windows dont recognizes" so, Odin dont recognizes it too.
If someone can help me or maybe know another way to install a RecoveryMod to the Phone, I will be grateful
Waiting for your help, bye bye.
Google "Samsung drivers", download them and then right-click the (driver's) installer and go to properties -> compability and select windows 7. Finally, install them.
That should do it.

AdriaMRios,
This is the link to download for drivers.
http://d-h.st/iPk
As you use windows 8.1 then you will have to extract the file you download from the link above and then right click on the .exe file and go to 'properties', in that go to 'compatibility' and in that choose your operating system as "WINDOWS 7" and check the option below 'always run as administrator' and there you go. Double click on .exe file and follow steps. Install drivers. No need to restart the pc also. (if your phone also do not detect after installing these drivers only then restart). These are the most stable and perfect drivers I have found.
If these drivers Don't work...! Then...read below.
Windows 8.1 has a bug in the Microsoft USB stack affecting many devices using Qualcomm chipsets. The bug prevents the OS from being able to enumerate any of these devices in download mode (fastboot, Odin, Sony flashtool - they're all buggy).
You can downgrade your PC to Windows 8.0, flash on another PC, or wait for Microsoft to release the fix. See here:

Don't spam their comments section. They have the information needed to fix the Galaxy 5 already, so just be patient.

LG Optimus L9 II (LG-D605) unroot & unbrick

Hello,
after a few days I successfully unrooted & unbricked my LG-D605. I read a lot of articles and asked lot of questions and tried a lot of unsuccessfull ways. Here is my successfull solution.
My PC configuration
HP 650 (2,4 GHZ, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB drive)
OS openSUSE 13.2 64bit - software.opensuse.org
Oracle Virtualbox from oracle official repository - www.virtualbox.org
Downloaded Windows 7 home premium EN 32bit (very important - it was unsuccessfull with xp / 8.1 and czech localization xp / 7 / 8.1) - Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium x86 English on techverse.net
LG-D605 preparation - HARD RESET (form off-state Vol- & Power, when prompted Power, when prompted Power), next off
Needed downloads - tested
LG mobile drivers - attachment
LG Flash tool - attachment
ROM in .bin and LGUP_L9II.dll (extracted from kdz file) - file in google drive
Install process
Unpack and install LG mobile drivers
Unpack and install LG Flash Tool without run it
Overwrite file c:\\lg\lgfllashtool\megalock.dll with file megalock.dll in archive lg-flash-tool.zip
Connect phone in download mode (remove battery - connect phone to usb -> hold Vol+ -> insert battery)
After phone detection and installation in PC run Windows Device Manager and set LG device to port COM41
Run LG Flash Tool
Mark checkbox "Manual" and set in Model Config path to LGUP_L9II.dll and *.tot file (archive extracted kdz)
Click on OK
In PortSetting window leave marked only port 1
Click on Right Arrow
If you see in small window Port 1 "Ready", disconnect phone on 5sec and reconnect (if you on virtualbox, remember on reactivation usb port)
Done
hi, other flash metod is turn phone in download mode, and flash the kdz file with KDZ_FW_UPD.exe.
also downgrade or upgrade firmware very easy, open the software, select tipe 3gqtc, mode diag, open te kdz file, conect the phone in download mode and launch software update.
Note: in windows device manager disable lg modem device.
no problem in win xp.
sorry for my english.
I tried this metod but it gets stuck at 54%, jumps to 100 and it gives me a download failed error. What could it be?
Thanks man! It worked for me.
I had a slightly different configuration though...
Host OS: Fedora 21 64bit
Oracle VirtualBox 5.0
Guest OS: Windows 7 Professional EN 64bit with corresponding VirtualBox Additions installed
Installation of LG drivers and Flash Tool went well. But after connecting phone in Download Mode it took long time time install drivers which ultimately ended with fail - "drivers were not successfully installed" in yellow bubble. But the phone was shown in device manager so I continued.
Another thing is that I do not have enabled reactivation on usb port so I quickly pluged it in manually after phone rebooted. It worked too.
Only bad thing is that now I have Android 4.1 and have to upgrade back to 4.4. But this is much better situation than bricked phone so thanks again.
When I click right arrow, nothing is happening

1. install xperia companion and make successful connection with your device (enable usb debugging also)
2. install minimal adb and fastboot also
3. install latest flashtool and on the download page of the webside, x10flasher.jar are give and must be replaced from c\flashtool
4. drivers.exe given in the flashtool folder must be install (atleast all drivers for devices having "COMMON" mentioned + z series drivers (ALL ) ) ---- if your windows is w10, you must disable digital signature verification (google it)
5. after all this , you must make first connection with your windows! by switching off xperia X and plugging usb in X while pression (1) volume up key (fastboot mode) -- windows will install some driver (somec) --- (2) then unplug usb and replug, this time volume down key, (Flashmode) -- windows will install some driver! -----
6. NOW try flashing!
