i try to install it reports a code 10 could not start device problem.
and there is no phone entry for adb.exe and tryed to install driners again
and it go`s fine but still no adb or mtp drivers for recovery.

winxp sp3 sony tablet s when put in recovery mode for flashing the mtp driver
shows yellow (!).when i try to install driver manually it trys to start but comes
back with code 10.with tablet in normal mode winxp sees mtp & adb drivers.
the problem is only with recovery mode.tryed all i can think of and read all
solutions but driver still fails to start.so i can,t flash fw!. i really need help with
this one. please someone help i`ll give you a big thanks. i know i am not the
only one with this problem.i hope this is clear enough.
Same problem here:
Everything's fine in normal boot, but in recovery mode, I can't install the MPT driver. Win7pro. It tries to install, but ends up with a Code28 (something in the INF file is invalid, can't tell the english error message, because I have German Win7).
This seems to cause my problem flashing to R5a by AiO or the auto flasher by condi.
I get the exact error message on the tablet, as shown in post #72 in this thread:
[FW R5A WIFI/3G] NEW! custom preROOTed newest stock nbx03 R5A with R1A's recovery
Trying since four nights...
At least I managed to flash and root to 4.0.3 R2a from the "unrootable" 3.2 R10 by flashing via recovery mode to Sony original ICS R2a (downloadable from sony) and then using the AIO 5.3 to root. Don't know why this way is not published here... Tried updating to 3.2.1 etc, nothing worked... the found the links to sony's fw and thought "WTF! Let's try ICS R2a, worst case is an also unrootable Tablet but with ICS". Worked, and was rootable then.
Just ignore the problem. I believe seeing the alerted MTP USB Device in Windows Device Manager when your tablet is in Recovery Mode is being cause by your tablet's borked Android System Recovery Revision 36 (i.e., Rev.36). This problem did not occur with earlier revisions of Android System Recovery. Normally, no MTP USB Device (or Sony Tablet S) should be displayed or even installed for Recovery Mode because a tablet in Recovery Mode cannot provide MTP functionality. Recovery Mode only requires Android Composite ADB Device be installed. Normal Mode, however, requires both Android Composite ADB Device (but only when the tablet's USB Debugging is turned on) and MTP USB Device, which Windows Device Manager renames and displays as Sony Tablet S.
You are basically right... it was ADB drivers, not MTP.
I tried all possible drivers from the list, also some "phone" devices. And YES!! Windows accepted one of them...
After that, I had no problem flashing my tablet to ICS R5a!!
please, could somebody who has writing permission in the dev forums, tell Condi, that the AiO 5.3 tools tells you to check this driver ONLY AFTER you are NOT stuck in "status7" error!!!!!
You do NOT get the message in the terminal box, IF you are stuck.
That would have saved me one or two nights trial and error...
But, after all, I have a nice working ICS R5a on my tablet S
I will post a how-to for other 3.2 kernel10
that explains a lot. so i need to find another adb driver that works in recovery mode and
not worry about mtp driver?.

Right.
In device manager, it's "android phone" (?), when you select driver manually, then I think it was the same as on the first install, so the third ADB device in the drivers list.
Windows fools you, it installs an MTP driver, and thus keeps you from using your brain
Install ADB drivers, check whether your tablet will be correctly recognized in both modes... then at least the all in one tool with custom zip will work (hopefully).
Why the flasher did not work? Don't know. looking again at my error messages, I would guess, that the busybox was not working correctly. I don't know if you have to install busybox before, manually. I thought everything was integrated into the flasher...
android phone dosent show in device manager

But by manually updating the driver and choosing manually, you can assign ANY driver to any device - it may not work or even do some damage to the system, but basically, it's your choice!
Take the device with the "!" and give it the right driver...
"CAT" above is right with rel5 and 5a that they changed the recovery rev to 36 and this rendered the
tablet s from loading any mtp driver or seeing the android phone entry in device manager so no way
to install adb driver.this has killed conis AIO tool flashing firmware and roms until someone breaks
the lockdown sony put in.
Is it possible to install the USB drivers without NVFlashing again??? I have smoother_bean rom installed and everything works just fine, except that when I connect my gtab to my PC it only recognizes it as a APX device with a Yellow triangle with exclamation mark. Thanks for help!
Even out of APX mode you have to use the same drivers that are in the NVflash package. Just connect the tablet up and have it booted up in either the ROM or Recovery and then guide your driver installation to the same folder you used installing the APX drivers. In the ROM you will have to have USB debug turned off for some reason in order to install the generic MTP drivers explained in the DRH tread. Most of my transfers are done in recovery or via USB flash drives. Also I run Ubuntu and not Windows and the drivers are not needed. Last time I ran Windows XP I used those same steps, but couldn't get MTP to work until switch my OS to Ubuntu (Linux).

Thanks Nobe, (I did not want to clutter your ROM threat cause I have seen many complaints about ppl asking simple questions like this and do not really contribute to the development aspect ).... I will try to do this once I get home later tonight and hopefully it will work. will keep updated
As the title suggests, bootloader unlocked no problem, tablet was connecting to ADB at the time, tried to flash recovery which as far as I can tell was not successful (I can't boot to recovery, get the injured Android icon), now I can't connect to ADB (get the "List of devices attached" result). So I'm completely stuck, can't move forward, can't go back to stock, what do I do?
Edit: Apparently it's an issue with my PC, my wife's PC worked fine, why it worked to unlock the bootloader and then stopped I have no idea. Can anyone link me to a solution to get ADB working on my PC again? I tried removing/re-installing drivers, rebooting, you name it, no luck.
With your device booted into recovery or the system do you get anything in device manager? If you get a device with a yellow exclamation mark, right click it. Go to where it allows you to choose a driver from a list on your computer. Select adb android composite (or something like that)

Thanks for replying.
So before unlocking the bootloader, with USB debugging enabled I could get the tablet to connect using the ADB driver and could access it with ADB but could not access storage for file transfer, with USB debugging disabled and switching the driver manually to the MTP driver I could access storage but not ADB. I have had other device drivers installed on this PC for my Galaxy phones, I had issues initially with the tablet connecting but showing a yellow exclamation mark, then I removed all of the Android USB devices using USBDeview and installed the 15 second ADB tool to get it working, I'm on Windows 8.1 BTW.
After unlocking the bootloader, with USB debugging enabled I cannot get the tablet to connect using the ADB driver and but it does show as an ADB device with no yellow exclamation mark, I just get the "List of devices attached" result and anything that tries to access the device via ADB hangs or fails. I can still switch the driver to MTP and access the storage just fine.
My wife's PC is a Win7 box and has never had android drivers or ADB installed, I used the 15 Second ADB installer on her PC and the tablet works for ADB and storage access with USB debugging turned on, so there's something I'm missing that needs to be wiped out or reset on my box.
My end goal is stock lolipop rooted.
I botched a flash and now I cant get developer mode / ADB working.
When I started, my tablet was stock ROM, towelroot. I connect tablet in developer mode, flashed dual recovery and everything was great. I copied the pre-rooted lolipop ROM to my SD card and flashed it. HOWEVER instead of turning off the device, I selected reboot from recovery. This resulted in boot loop.
SOOOO, I figured no worries, just flash old ROM and try again. So did this:installed Androxyde Flashtool
opened XperiFirm
downloaded 1276-8392 and 1274-8801 (I've tried the rest using both ROMs btw)
Tools>Bundler>Create>Selected folder>selected SGP312 for device
For branding I entered the above ie 1276-8392
For version I entered the ver ie 10.5.A.230
Flashmode>checked boxes to wipe everything
The flash goes through without a hitch. Under about tablet, I see
Model : SGP312
Android Ver : 4.4.2
Kernel : 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454, [email protected]#1
Build Number : 10.5.A.0.230
I activate USB debugging and unknown sources, connect to USB and Flashtool returns: Device connected with USB debugging turned off
I went into device manager and found the MTP driver. Also of note, the device ID is: USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5194&REV_0228
I downloaded Sony's ADB drivers, tried to manually update device driver and windows7x64 kicked back driver is not for your device.
I edited the INF to include the hardware ID exactly as it appears in device manager and tried again. This time windows let me load the driver. It shows up in device manager as 'Sony sa0107 ADB Interface Driver'
HOWEVER, Flashtool is still giving me the same MTP message and if I cmd prompt "adb devices" I get nada.
Is there a way to verify developer mode on the tablet? What else can I try? The tablet gives me a notification when I connect 'usb debugging mode connected, ready to install software'
Thanks!

I had a very similar problem in 2014. I do not want to discourage you, but at the end I send it back to sony for a repair. They gave me a new tablet and said that the mainboard was broken.
Nevertheless, there is a thread in Sony cross device general, where people like you end up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
You can try and search for help there, maybe you have more luck then me.
Its odd... ADB was working and stopped after flash. Is this what you had or just no connection from the start?
Sorry, I misread your post. I thought your tablet would not start and you could not get flashmode working. Sorry for that.
What you could try:
1. Be sure you actually activated USB debugging in developer options
2. When you connect the device, you should get a prompt on the tablet to allow usb debugging from that computer
Maybe try "revoke USB debugging authorisations" in developer options and reconnect
3. Install the drivers from flashtool/drivers/ or install sony pc companion. Delete your old driver from device manager.
4. try switching between MTP and MSC mode in usb connectivity menu
Since ADB worked before it was probably no driver problem. Now you cannot be sure. Most probably you tapped away the said prompt of allowing usb debugging when connecting.
If none of this helps I don't know of anything more. Maybe try different usb ports or even computers.... Or try to flash again

Hi,
My Nord 2 have latest update DN2103_11_A.17, and I wanted to enable VoLTE.
My computer can't detect my phone in ADB when in recovery mode, it detects only when just powered on normaly and connected.
I have latest Android plateform tools installed on computer.
Any Idea of what's wrong ?
Thanks
Adb drivers and permissions.
Try in Linux, easier
I have exactly the same problem on my OneNeplus Nord 2. I installed the MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers drivers in auto mode and even in manual mode under Windows 10. When I type adb reboot recovery the smartphone reboots in recovery mode even if it tells me seems strange see photo (sorry very small text...) but then no other orders are accepted. Same problem in bootloader mode. So I can't unlock the bootloader. Any help is welcome...
Hey I had the same issue with fastboot device not showing up. Fastboot with other devices on my PC had never been an issue.
This Fixed it for me:
Open "Device Manager" from the Windows start menu.
Your device should be listed there as "Android Device" (with a yellow indication for missing driver)
Right click the device and select "Update Driver".
Click Browse my computer for drivers.
Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer.
From the list select "Android Bootloader Interface". It is possible that you need to deselect the "Show compatible hardware" button.
Good luck.

Hi, thanks I'll try. Any specific driver for Linux?
I've read that adb in recovery mode doesn't work since A.14 update, and I'm on A.17. Anyone Can confirm that?
