http://www.4shared.com/file/QGwDZw8R/Gordon_Gate_Setup-2201__usb_fl.html
Do you downloaded flashtool? Then there should be a folder called drivers. Inside there is one setup (execute it) and three archives (unpack them). If he asks for drivers use the ones out of the unpacked archives. Try that

All you need to know an do and with videos. (link below)
Also make sure that you are in (run as administrator)
Make sure you have the updated Sony Ericsson PC Companion/Update Sevice.
All the drivers are there in the software and Get the right Flashtool/Firmware/Baseband.
If you have the Apps/APKs that you want on your phone you can put them in the Flashtool too, they go in:
Custom/Apps of the flashtool AND THEN AFTER you flashed/rooted/Xrecoveryed the phone just plug in the usb an go for it.

Hi all,
My XPERIA U cannot get into fastboot mode even though I plugged the USB cable with holding down Volume Up Button.
I also tried it with holding down Volume Down Button.
I cannot have the bootloader unlocked.
My XPERIA U says its bootloader is allowed to be unlocked, and it is SIM free.
Please give me an advise to me!!
Thanks!

Same problem here
Anyway I try downloading flashtool and in the driver folder ( inside flashtool folder) there is an installer try install it when there are check box check them all and install
After that fastboot mode should be working
This is the easiest way to install fastboot driver, I think
It works for me
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Just get the flashtool from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
Install it (make sure you disable your antivirus while downloading).
Open C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the drivers.
Its the easiest way as Theonlyzii mentioned.
Theres workaround in general forum.
You must FAST!
Open device manager first
When you plugged in ur device with fast boot mode there should be a new driver detected on device manager,. Right click and update driver( you must fast before its disappear). After you succesfully install the driver now you can reconnect ur device in fastboot mode.
Hope this help. You might want to search that workaround im talking about for clearer instruction.

Nah mate...
I had failed. Windows just couldn't find the right drivers from doomlord's thread
Anyway, flashtool is the easiest, and pain free method.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Thanks all!!
Finally I could succeed unlocking the bootloader with the way of installing the driver from flashtool that you advised me!
I was not able to this method on my Windows8 RP PC, and I did not find the reason why I cannot. And I succeeded this on another Windows 7 PC! Thanks to you, I could notice that.
And for you, ankh.red,
I was trying it many times because my Xperia U turn off the blue LED soon(around 3 seconds). But it was always failing detecting any driver after I catch my Xperia U on the Device Manager. Of cource I had a driver from Sony's official page.
I think windows8 will need some change to do this. I have found on web someone who succeeded it on Windows8...
Anyway, I was helped by you! Thank you!! I will search next interesting things on the rooted from now!
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yeah I have the same problem before... Blue LED 3 sec,
I have to install the fastboot driver ( not the Sony one but the one in fastboot USB folder) before it disappear on devices manager..
Anyway, I glad you're able to unlock your bootloader now .
Happy rooting lol

Dont wanna start another thread so im just going ask here:
1. Why the speaker is so quite or is it just me?!
2. How can i root without unlocking bootloader since i dont wanna loose drm files( did they even important?! )
3. If there be some forum just for xperia U/P or we need to post in this ection....
P.S. previousely iv had xperia x8 so im new with this xperia, and sorry if this questions are already answered....
1. Enable xLoud in Settings>Sound
2. Not yet possible. I believe DRM is some protection given to music files bought legally. I think you might not be able to play such files (correct me if I'm wrong)
3. Not yet. Many have requested mods. No seperate sections

thank you sir. perhaps someone can upload the latest one to a more useful temporary upload site, like yousendit perhaps? i am trying that older version though... i just need it for the drivers due to the fastboot won't activate the driver search and the XperiaU just continues to charge instead of remaining in fastboot.

For Windows 8 users. The drivers cannot be installed because of the driver signature enforcement.
This is how to disable it.
First, press win + I to launch the charm bar, and click Change PC Settings at the bottom.
Then, go to General, and scroll to the bottom of the page, click Restart Now button under Advanced Startup section.
The computer reboots to a startup menu, in which click Troubleshoot.
And click Advanced Options at next screen.
Choose Startup Settings next And click Restart button.
The computer reboots and prompts another menu to choose. One of the items is to Disable driver signature enforcement. Press number 7 or F7 to continue booting to Windows 8 with digital sign enforcement disabled.
Hope that helps

can you please explain it, step by step,
because im a newbie, i just studied this rooting and custom ROM things in two days
i think its not enuf huh.
thanks for the suggestion
Download mode can be achieved by first
power off your device
Try a combo of power and one of the volume buttons
When the buttons light up keep holding till you see a yellow triangle
From there plug into your PC
Then attempt to "flash" back to a working ROM with your PC
For my device(s) download mode is found by using the #1 button on the hard keyboard and the power button at the same time (epic 4G) and for my (my touch 3G) other device it can be found by pressing volume up and the power button.
For your device try the following Google search, just replace the bit between the "<>" with the name of your device and it should pull up a solution by page two of the Google search
"how to"+"download mode"+<name-of-device> similar:XDA
oh and the issue you're having is called a "boot loop" and is usually fixable by going back to stock and re-rooting after.

what the above poster saying is applicable to samsung phone... no yellow warning sign on sony phone.... what we call is flash mode.. power button+volume down.. but as ur xperia is older model it could be a power+back button... check whether ur phone is compatible with flash tool by Androxyde and Bin4ry... search and you need ur phones firmware as ftf format....

sad to say but it does not boot to recovery or anything,
it just shows the sony logo over and over again
i downloaded the flashtool, already in my pc
currently downloading the ftf files- i guess this is the "stock" build, or ROM
a while ago i tried it with the flashtool but
the flashtool says device disconected everytime the SONY logo disappears
is there any possibility that my phone will be back?
thank you
AND another thing!!
i installed the CWM with my BootLoader Locked
Next time post in your device section and if its a question in Q &A section...

its appears to be a soft brick.... i havent seen/used Xperia Neo b4.. just looked @ pic.. i think 4 ur device it will be power +back button for flash mode and soft reset.... check ur device forum for more details... if i'm correct... press and hold power button +back button until u get one vibrate and let go.. then flash the ftf using flash tool.. usually ftf file are of stock firmware

thank you, but sadly again it doesnt boot
i guess i lost my ROM and drivers
PC companion cant even detenct my device, even the flashtool too.
it just charging when i connect it to my PC
and has this battery image with a single blue bar, no animation whatsoever
do you recommend sending it to the SONY service centers??
i did this things only this time because the one year warranty already expired
thank you again, for your help
just a theory
i think my problem here is that, i lost my ROM together with the usb driver
because even flashtool cant detect/read it.

Hi, Do not panic. I faced a similar problem today, and the best solution for it is using FLASHTOOL to flash the stock .ftf firmware.
From the sticky threads, download the stock ICS firmware for the phone. Also read up on how to use the flashtool.
Try and follow the solution given in the below thread, hit THANKS if it helps!
