Trouble with fastboot drivers - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Sorry if I'm being a noob here but I seem to be unable to install fastboot drivers. I've tried pointing driver installation to the usb folder I've downloaded and unzipped but in device manager the device just appears for a few seconds then goes off. I tried using flashtool and installing the drivers from the drivers section, as it told me but even though I completed the installation a couple of times it still tells me everytime I try to enter fastboot in flashtool that the drivers are required and that they can be found in the drivers folder and I'm getting a bit of tired of this. I can't root, unlock bootloader or do anything worthwhile without the fastboot drivers it seems.
Sorry again if I'm being noob I came from a galaxy ace and over there it was a lot simpler and the process of rooting, installing CWM and flashing a ROM did not even warrant the use of a computer so I'm pretty confused.

first check whether you checked the fastboot and flashtool drivers and installed.............if yes then try restarting your PC and then try again....... The problem u mentioned happens a lot(it happens to me)...... just be patience.......

Also try toggling between mtp and msc mode.

It's possible that your operating system (Windows 7 or 8) is preventing unsigned drivers to install. I've had the same issue and I could install the drivers successfully after disabling "Driver Signature Enforcement" on your Windows operating system. Reboot your PC and press F8 while booting. Then select " Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Then install the unsigned driver.

Thanks. If that's the case I think I'll try it on my older Windows XP com.

PDANet ADB Driver Failure

I was trying to install PDANet yesterday onto my laptop, I follow all the isntructions during installation and allow the drivers to be installed. I choose Samsung as my phone. At one point it asks me to connect my phone to my PC, which I do. It proceeds to dl 4 things, 3 out of the 4 download and install fine, but the ADB Driver installation fails every time (this is windows downloading drivers, not the installation itself). I have tried finding ADB drivers on my own with little success.
to confirm before the question is asked, yes the USB debugging option is turned on. ADB driver just keeps failing to download and install using windows.
same issue with my HP laptop
Driver name is S3c6410 Android ADB

Windows 7 64x drivers

Hello,
This must be a dumb question because all the guides seem to skip over this part but I'm having trouble installing the Windows 7 drivers. I downloaded the drivers, connected via USB, right clicked on the Android 1.0 in the device manager and updated the drivers. Everything seemed fine. Then I boot into fastboot and get a "Drivers were not installed successfully" pop-up.
I thought maybe I messed up and was supposed to install the drivers while in fastboot rather than while the phone was all the way booted up. So I rebooted the phone, uninstalled the drivers, booted in fastboot and tried to install the drivers while in fastboot. When I try it this way I right click on Android 1.0 in the device manager, go to the update driver option, select my file (there are two files in the driver folder I downloaded, androidusb and htcrndis, I tried them both) and I get an error before it can finish installing the driver. It says:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when trying to install it:
HTC Remote NDIS based Device
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
I'm sure it's something simple but I cant figure it out. Thanks for any help.

[Q] usb debugging not working!

today i reflashed my phone with stock 4.0.4 french ftf and it is working fine with usb debugging off but with debugging on, my computer doesnt see the phone! what should i do?
i have reflashed it but still usb debugging mode is not working! help! please what can the problem be?
plz help !
im stuck on stock! no root! nothing good!
First: Don't Panic.
Second: Check your drivers. If not properly installed, try one from sony (just google your device together with "adb driver").
Third: after a complete flash it's like you've never touched your device, means you have to re-root your device normally.
i hope this helps.

no its not working!
ive installed a new windows on virtualbox but there also no usb debugging is working!
and how do you install the adb drivers in the zip?
even though it is in debugging mode..when i try to root, it says please connect your phone in debugging mode
Can't say if it generally works with virtualbox. try to get drivers for your native system.
So the question is now: What's your host system?
If it's Windows, get Flashtool and install included driver (found in <FlashtoolInstallDir>\driver) just for rooting the device.
If you're using linux you can look if your device was recognized properly with lsusb it should be listed there.
You can try it too in virtualbox, but i don't trust the USB-driver (i would not flash or so through it) and do not recommend it.

i am using windows 7 32 bit
ive already have flashtool and have tried to install the drivers but nothing works!
Ok, you've installed (i assume) the right adb drivers for your device through the installer located in <FlashtoolsInstallDir>\driver.
So is there any Android/Sony (Ericsson) named device in your device manager? What does Flashtools write if you connect? If your device is listed in device manager, does it show an error, if yes which error?

in flashtool it shows the same thing in on and off
the 2nd one is debugging on and 3rd with off
Please post output of "adb devices" (if not recognizing, try again after "adb usb"). If no serial number/device is shown then do following:
There is a newer version of Flashtool available, update to 0.9.11, http://androxyde.github.io/
check after reinstallation (of drivers, too)
Maybe you have to try sonys driver from the zip. So extract them (all files).
right click at your device in the device manager
click to "update driversoftware" (or something like that, i don't have english windows)
click "search on my computer for new drivers"
choose from list
display all devices
click the button below the list (i have no idea what there could be written, it's not "windows update")
search for the inf-file extracted and choose the "sa<somenumbers>adb.inf"
if not already installing, choose "Sony Ericsson saXXXX ADB Interface Driver"
reboot (pc)
check again

WIN 8.1 + flashtool problem

Hi,
i'm trying to flash kernel to my st15i under win8.1.
Application and drivers are installed corectly, but after connecting phone in fastboot mode there is a message:
"USB device not recognized"
Under win7 there was no problem (the same procedures, the same PC, the same phone, flashtool 0.9.11.0)

Windows 8 has new type of security, that disallows installing unsigned drivers. Thereby fastboot drivers are not installed.
Follow this guide to install fastboot drivers: http://flashtool.net/disabledrivers.html

I'm affraid that your guide helps in win8 not 8.1, where there is no problem with installing drivers. Drivers are installed without any problems like in win8. Problem appears while you try to connect phone in fastboot mode.

Same applies. Drivers are not installed, otherwise it would detect your device.

Yes, you are right, something is wrong.
But drivers are installed correctly, becouse of lack problem during installation, and final windows info.
It seems that win 8.1 must have new flashtool/fastboot drivers.

Because you have win8.
In 8.1 there isn't active option "Driver signature enforcement" - there is no need to disable it.
.. and "PC settings" are different - this manual doesn't fit.

I seriously doubt, that 8.1 does not have such option.
I will try to look further into that, will update once I find anything.

I've tried this manual, uninstalled/installed few times flashtool/flashtool drivers - nothing changed... please help
This is weird, I am running out of ideas.
One of the last possibilities is that the drivers are not compatible with RC version of 8.1.
i also have the same issue..the pc doesnt recognise the device in fastboot or flashboot mode..
as for my idea, 8.1 is just a preview version..
i have 8.1 installed in pc and 7 in laptop.
so better work in 7 pal.
whenever i need to flash i use 7..
i think there is no solves for this issue..it has to be fixed by microsoft i think..
better you ask the questions to the windows support pages, genius people are waiting out there to help you..
anyways.. cheers!!

[Q] help no fastboot

i had a fresh install of windows 7, evn prvsly i was on windows 7 and somehow i had managed to install all drivers for xperia p
but after this fresh install i am unable to go to fastboot , somehow i installed flashmode drivers
i evn installed the drivers from fastboot-drivers.exe but no use when i start flashtool and try to enter fastboot mode i get an error message saying the device drivers are not installed , install these drivers from flashtool folder
what do i do ? evn in device manager when i update it doesnt find any software.. when windows try to install s1boot fastboot drivers it shows not installed
where m i wrong? please help me
I think i had that same problem too, and took me some time to find the right answer, it is probably windows that won't install unsigned drivers, so try reboot, and press F8, and allow installation of unsigned drivers, though i just wrote a CMD code at that page i visited, but i can't find it now lol.
Well try here http://www.techspot.com/community/t...signed-drivers-in-windows-vista-7-x64.127187/
