Hey guys, i`m trying to unlock my Neo V bootloader, following Sony Ericsson`s intructions: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But i`m stuck on step 15:
15- Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

When I do this, a "waiting for device" message appears, and nothing happens.
What do you guys is happening? A blue light appears on the Neo, so it seems it`s already on the correct mode...
Is your phone SIM locked?
type '*#*#7378423#*#*' in dialer and go to service info->configuration
what does it says under rooting status?
It says Bootloader unlock allowed: yes

do you have drivers installed?
I'm trying to install the drivers, but it seems that`s exactly the problem, windows doesn`t find it when searching online and the drivers provided by SE don`t install correctly, i select its folder and windows says no drivers were found...

Not sure, but download flashtool from the sticky threads in the dev section and use those drivers. They are in a folder in flashtool
Both links on the official site seems to require a premium account, do you know somewhere else to download it?
EDIT: Got the download, just have to wait now, lets hope it works...
download latest flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
install flashtool, install drivers from drivers folder (inside flashtool folder)
start flashtool
turn off phone
hold menu key and connect cable, post the log
EDIT: lol that's what happen when you have opened few tabs and you post after some time you miss few posts gregbradley was faster
btw. both links can be used free, no premium account needed
Yeaah, it seems it worked! If those drivers are needed, why doesn`t SE post them on their official unlocking guide? This is so strange...
And now, what do I have to do to install a custom ROM?

Goto the OP (Opening page or first post) in the thread of the ROM you want to flash and follow the instructions.
More detailed instructions are in the sticky threads.
To choose which rom you want, read the features/changelog of the roms and decide yourself.
You could even try each one for a day or two untill you decide which one to have has your main rom.
Do I have to use the Flash Tool?
When I try to open it (the one you provided the download link), I get this error:

Hmm, make sure your PC is fully updates and java is installed and updated...
But you dont need flashtool to flash roms, just use recovery.
I have o problem on step 12. The led is blue the pc does the sound that a usb device has been pluged in but when I go to My Computer, Devices it says "S1boot fastboot" and not something like "sony neo v etc".
Anyway I try at the S1boot to update the drivers, I locate them and the I get the message that "The windows can't find the drivers..."

Have you set up Android SDK? That's necessary! And install the drivers provided in flashtool (flashtool installation folder>drivers).
Just check out my signature, there's a tutorial with pictures based on the sony guide, for unlocking the bootloader

Hi. Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/help-bootloader-unlocking-t2891214 which points to Unlock Bootloader using Flashtool.
Hi, I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Neo V following the official guide from sony's website but at step 13 when it says that I have to point to the driver manually the computers seem unable to find the drivers
Do you have any solution?
Yep you have to download the adb drivers and manually install them..
Head into the dev section in the noob thread for unlocking the bootloader, there you'll find the drivers!

If you have difficulty In adding the drivers Go to to fastboot mode.. and later go to control panel>device manager There you find the yellow mark for the device.. there choose your driver folder

You need to install fastboot drivers. When you are in fastboot you need to go 'device manager' or something like that on PC. Find android and use update drivers bottom option (install manualy) and point where your fastboot drivers are.

Hello there
My name is Kareem and I'm using a Sony Xperia U 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.1.B.1.10.
So the thing is that I want to update my phone to 4.4 Kitkat and I'm following this thread.
I rooted my device, and I'm now trying to unlock bootloader. My devices says that I'm able to bootload but I still need to unlock it. So I googled around and came across this video which shows me how to unlock bootloader. First I had problems with installing the drivers because I am using windows 8.1 64-bit, but after I disabled “Driver Signature Enforcement” I managed to install the drivers.
And here the problem starts... I have to press the up volume button while plugging in so I can start fastboot. As what I was told, I did and the blue led on the left side turned on. But when I look on my desktop I get a notification that my usb device is not recognized.
Can anyone tell what causes this issue? Otherwise, is there another and maybe an easier way to unlock bootloader?
Kind regards
Kareem
P.s. I'm using that flashtool software to unlock bootloader. It's called "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
I prefer to use this.
Is the official method for unlocking the bootloader, includes the drivers and stuff, just follow that tutorial and you're good to go.
Also you have to make sure that your phone can have unlocked bootloader first, if not, then, you have to stick to locked bootloader ROM's.
Now, sorry for saying like this but Windows 8.1 is such a pain in the a**, it always gives error because the drivers isn't signed, if you get problems with that again use this.
USB not recognized, well the solutions for that problem can be:
Use other USB port, if still doesn't work on any of the ports, then can be the slots or bad placement of pins in the motherboard, almost never is a problem of internal dust in the computer but you can try these.
Try other USB cable, may be the cable is failing, try other from another Android phone to complete the process.
Try using other computer with WIndows 7 or Ubuntu.
If you were not able to get working, then tell me.
Thanks for your reply. Both links are the ones I came across too, I used the first one but not the second one. So I'm trying the 2nd link, but I'm troubling with
browse from disk and select "android_winusb.inf" from "...\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and select "android bootloader interface.

There is no android bootloader interface in my usb_driver folder. Do I need to get it from somewhere like the SDK manager or a website?

Windows key + R, write devmgmt.msc, enter.
Plug your phone and look if some device is recognized in the list, it may appear as Android or something like that, if you got it, then follow me.
Right click to it, Update driver, select from computer, use a list from the PC, and "Use disk", see if there's something that says like that because I got Windows 7 in spanish so it's different.
In that browse for the folder that has the .inf file and open it, it returns a list that you have to select the interface, next and your driver may be installed.
Understand? I can explain more but I have Windows in spanish so I don't know how is in english.
Okay.
So I got to Device Manager and when I plug my phone when going in fastboot mode it first appeared as Android but then later on it appeared as Other Device(s) and after a split seconds it goes away. That's because the fastboot doesn't last long since fastbood isn't unlocked yet (and yest bootunlocker:yes is stated on my phone when dialing a code).
Secondly to your explanation. So when I still try to update the driver I can choose to let windows find a driver a use my own software to update it. So I clicked on use my own software, chose the path where the usb_driver is located. But only the folders appear, I can't see the ini or inf. files.
Edit: I'm actually going to downgrade back to windows 7. Since I went to 8.1 it gave a lot of troubles like unsupported screen resolutions and this.
Update: I managed to borrow my sister's laptop for one time, her laptop contains windows 7. So I got on her laptop and took my usb with flash-tool on it and a kernel. I connected my phone with cable while holding the buttons to get in fastboot mode, voila it got recognized by flashtool. I'm one step closer to unlocking bootloader with only one trouble a head. So when I try to unlock my bootloader with a kernel I get an error that my phone needs to be rooted first. The thing is that my phone has been rooted already, plus I just test if it is rooted and the test said that it's rooted. What can be the problem? Not having the right kernel? Not having pc companion on that pc?

Okay I'm going to try it right now, at least I want to but there are some steps very confusing for me.
Sony website said:
9. Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
10. Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
11. Turn off your device.
12. On your device, push and hold the Fastboot button at the same time as you connect the device to the computer with a USB-cable. The Fastboot button may differ between different device models. See the Fastboot buttons page for more information on what button use on your device.
13. On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
14. Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
15. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your device is connected properly.

13. Well when I connect my phone in fastboot mode it doesn't ask for driver installation, it happens automatic i guess. No problem, right?
14. Do I have to do it like the screenshot?

13. If your phone is recognized in fastboot mode then continue, if not, update the driver.
14. Know the command "cd"? Is for accesing directories, you can use "dir" to see whats in the folder. Example, you downloaded the Android SDK bundle in the Desktop, then "cd" to the "tools" directory, that contains the binary to unlock the bootloader. That's in cmd.
Like:
Code:
cd /SDK/adt-bundle-blah-blah/sdk/tools
And, you're using Windows 8, again, your device is recognized in fastboot mode?
Thank you for the clear explanation, makes sense now ( already knew that cd thing, wasn't sure though).
Uhm don't mind me using windows 8 atm. I'm downloading 32-bit sdk so I can use it on my sisters laptop.

In this post, there are a list with all stock and custom ROM's available in XDA forum, you should download stock and if anything goes wrong then flash the stock ROM with flashtool. You know, flashmode, select kernel, connect to green led, let it boot, and you have stock.
By now, try to unlock the bootloader, if you need help with the flashing then you can ask by here or create another thread.

So for the past week I've been interested in unlocking the bootloader of my D6503 Xperia Z2 running 6.0.1 Marshmallow. I've taken all the necessary precautions to do so.
(Apparently I can't post links since this is my first post, sorry!)
Using the Sony "unlock the bootloader" page, I've been able to get into fastboot mode- however the driver for fastboot that Sony provides doesn't work (They give a link to the altered drivers in the tutorial). The "S1Boot Fastboot" comes up as not recognised on my computer. I've tried updating the driver using the device manager and pointing to the location where I have Sony's driver installed, then it says "installing" for a while before giving a warning that it was unable to install the driver because "the system cannot find the file specified". I have definitely followed every step that Sony has put on their unlock the bootloader page.
I've looked everywhere but cannot find a solution. It appears that many other Xperia users have had the same problem as me in the past but none of their solutions worked for me. So far I've tried:
Force updating the drivers
Downloading Sony's flashtool to manually install drivers, but the driver folder doesn't include the driver installer .exe file.
Manually setting the device driver to "Bootloader interface" and "Android ADB interface" in the device manager
Using the Android SDK manage to install the drivers
Downloaded third-party drivers from here by DoomLord (However there wasn't a driver available for my specifc device, the Z2)
The command "adb devices" recognises my phone when it is fully turned on, but the command "fastboot devices" never recognises my phone whether it is on or in the fastboot mode.
I'm thinking of just downloading a Linux VM and trying it on there, since apparently no extra drivers are needed, but that will mean downloading the Android SDK and Java JDK as well....
Can someone please help me out? I'm really interested in unlocking this bootloader... Thanks in advance

Download Sony AIO flashtool by androxyde and unlock bootloader with it, it reduces much effort and time you need to spend.
I am having the same exact problem. I have already tried a half dozen variants of android_winusb.inf to no avail. Either gets accepted but end up with a "cannot find the file specified" error, or simply doesn't get accepted. I am actually quite experienced with android modding (using both windows and linux) but I am on my new laptop now trying to set it up to fix my Xperia Z1 (flashed it with c6903 stock and now it has no baseband - because in reality it's a c6902) but windows10 (which I actually really like) is really giving me a hard time getting adb working!

I also struggled with same issue trying to bootloader unlock my Xperia X F5121. I eventually succeeded in getting fastboot working on win10:
1. Download as zip: google search github androxyde flashtool (i am not allowed to post links) and extract zip.
2. Restart windows by holding shift down while clicking restart. Windows will boot into a mode where you can disable driver signature enforcement.
3. Run as administrator DPInst64.exe from the drivers folder of Flashtool. Press "install anyway" on every popup where it says drivers origin cannot be confirmed.

1. Download as zip: google search github androxyde flashtool (i am not allowed to post links) and extract zip.
2. Restart windows by holding shift down while clicking restart. Windows will boot into a mode where you can disable driver signature enforcement.
3. Run as administrator DPInst64.exe from the drivers folder of Flashtool. Press "install anyway" on every popup where it says drivers origin cannot be confirmed.

Thankyou, Legend!
