I'm trying to root my Sony Xperia P with the standard manual from Sony.
But when I'm trying to reboot the phone I see a new device "S1Boot Fastboot" in the device manager in Windows 7 x64, but after a few second the device is disapeard and the phone boots normal. Is there a way to do this with an application instead of using the Android SDK?
Why this on development section? Go to Q&A section
dude you need drivers, you need Android SDK, than Gordons Gate Flash Drivers, Sony Update Service, and Flash Drivers from the flash tool
From the Sony page you need the latest Android SDK a custom android_winusb.inf file from Sony to enable Fastboot for this phone and Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher. I've got al these components installed on my machine.
this can be a simple driver issue, install drives manually
go to Computer, and go to Manage

Hi, so I flashed Advanced Stock ICS Kernel on my Xperia S, but my phone isn't rooted, or isn't giving root access to any apps. It was rooted for a while, but for some reason, it's no longer rooted...
Can anyone help?

Ok, I've installed all the drivers that come with flashboot (xperia u, flashboot and fastboot)
ST25i
firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54
ics 4.0.4
Says in the settings that it can be unlocked.
Gone all the way through the official method, at the end it just says "root failed" (rechecked both modes multiple times.
Installed flashtool, tried that method, root fails.
Run "root many android", also fails.
I am running everything in admin mode, the phone stays in fastboot and driver is recognized... I just have no idea.

better unock through flashtool
u trying to root or unlock bootloader??
I think he wants to root it...You have to flash .B.1.10 kernel as first. After that you can root (by any method, but I strongly recommend latest Flashtool). And after rooting flash back kernel B.1.54
Where do I get the kernel and how do I flash it? Thanks!
I've tried using this, but get the error "the device must be rooted 1st"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926387
Now following this guide, gets stuck when it tells me to unplug the device, hold the back button (up arrow) and plug in the usb, phone comes on, computer recognises, phone stays with blue led lit... nothing happens..
Use flashtool to flash stock kernel. Search for. 10 and. 54 kernels on forum
Sent from my Xperia Sola (XDA for Android)
Flash .10 kernel first. Root your phone with "root many android" trheads method and watch the tut vid. Then flash. 54 kernel. I couldnt find "root many android" topic with my phone, so just search for it. When using flashtool to flash kernels, first install drivers from drivers folder, then boot your phone in flashmode. Hope this helps

i had the same problem when i tried the first time.
Download flashtool and flash .402 ftf or similar. would recommend .402 though.
That helped me. It deleted everything on the phone except for the SD card, but a small price to pay for a quick fix.

First of all thank you very much for the reply!
By flashtool you mean the official flashtool of Sony or any other?
Because in the original application i'm getting error that i have to open my bootloader. But I can't because of the ADB issue.

The one i used is flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows. get it here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByK8JL7P6wDTMXRvcTdjMzVuNFk/edit
then visit http://www.flashtool.net/index.php for more info on how to proceed with install etc. also =)
also download ftf from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934 i recommend the .402 so you can use easyroot to root!
You should just be able to flash the corresponding kernel for your firmware via flashtool/adb to get it working again
I've connected my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact ES823 to the computer, but it doesn't detect the device. I've downloaded Xperia_Z5_Compact_driver.zip but no luck.

well to be honest I never used this method to install drivers to my device for couple reasons: ( i do use this method to other devices some times though)
1) there is no need to do this if you are only planning to be able to see the folders and files in your computer (connect in MTP mode) it doesnt require driver -> windows should automatically do it whether its windows 7 or 10. check your wifi or some thing.
2) I use sony PC companion , now they call it "Xperia companion" it installs drivers once you install the EXE file so yah...
try to right click on it and update via windows update (install drivers using windows update option) and if still didnt workout, delete the driver with the warning sign next to it and disconnect your phone and reconnect it again and clean install the drivers.
tell me how does that work out for you
Can you help me with something, i want to put new firmware on phone, what to select or not to select a thing, i want full wipe of everything

as you see there are two colums with 2 windows each
left colum is what to wipe
right colum is what is going to be installed
so when flashing ftf you need to wipe every thing which means the left side options should all be ticked in both windows except master reset I guess but once I tried 2 times to tick it and not to tick it, i havent seen any difference but i perfer ticking every thing
Hi everyone!
Not sure if this is in the right category so i apologize..
I've got Marshmallow (rooted, xposed..) and before i wanted to update it to Nougat i made a hard reset so i start from beginning with Nougat.
In Flashtool while flashing there was error and there was one info that said USB debugging must be on.. Great, now i can't even boot my phone.. After some tryings there is no more Update failed message while trying to boot it but just Sony logo stays forever...
Please help me coz i don't know what to do anymore, i need my phone ofc... Thank You!..

download the latest flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
use the built in xperifirm button to go grab the right software for your phone, then flash it in flashmode. The tool tells you when it's ready and tells you what to do. (phone powered off, connect usb cable while holding vol-down WHEN PROMPTED)
You can leave all the options default on the firmware selector screen, though you may wish to tick the "USERDATA" box under wipe if you want to start fresh.

Hey,
I want to install a costum rom to get a free of bloatware system, but I have problems with rooting my device and installing TWRP. I tried some tutorials today, but none worked for the same reason. For example this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-t3421932 I have a e2303 so I downloaded the e2303 file and went into the adb folder opened cmd connected my phone with pc while I pressed volume down. after that I copy pasted the command "fastboot devices" but it didn't show me any phone, so I went to the next step and copy pasted the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" , but cmd only said <waiting devices>, so I did that what a different guide said (connecting the phone with volume up), but even that didn't worked. I installed adb with adb setup 1.4.3 and answered every question with "y".
I unlocked the bootloader with Flashtool, and it worked. I even relocked and unlocked the phone again.
My phone is a E2303 with build number 26.3.A.1.33 on android 6.0.1, which should be marshmallow.
That is the adb folder where I tried it:

yeah, I used that tool but the phone didn't use the drivers automatically. which rom has the fewest bugs and no bloatware and is optimized?

No one. But you can install stock, root it, install one of the bloatware-deleting scripts (I can provide you one), install SMK and then it'll be fine )))
