[Q] Flashtool error? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi guys, so basically I installed a new rom on my Xperia U but I found another great rom but the thing is, I have to flash C10/B54. and I recently made a clean install of my W7, so I had to install all softwares again, so I installed flashtool and my flashtool driver, and everything was succesful.
But when I tried to flash a stock rom with flashtool and connected my device in flashmode I receive the following error :
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device."
I installed my drivers like 6 times and the installation was succesful but yet I get the same error.

It fails the first time.
1st.connect your device in flashmode then try flashing the ftf..
Press thnx if I helped.

Didnt work, tried it aswell :l

Try using different usb port
Just once or twice connect phone in flashmode and let windows install drivers by itself
Make sure ftf file aint corrupted or damaged while downloading

as for a fresh machine just install drivers and reboot the system and then connect your fone in flashmode and then let itself install drivers and then start flashtool and then proceed further....... and also try different USB ports as mentioned by sanket........

Hi I tried everything I can think of and still getting this error, anyone has some more ideas?

Ok and then I do procedure again but without installing any drivers? Just use the flash tool?

assuming u had the drivers installed in normal mode.. going in safe mode will prevent the driver installation failed error. try if the other method didnt work.

check the drivers for your phone and also flashboot,flashmode drivers
happy flashing

I had that error too. I solved it changing usb port and install the driver there. However have you installed the driver of xperia u in flashtool?

Install PC companion if it doesn't work install drivers manually

ok , thanks bro
No way to change kernel except flashtool or repair with SEUS/PC companion. If SEUS/pcc says your software is up to date, click install anyway.

You can go to stock ics with cwm but it will get stuck in bootlogo. Cause u don't have a stock ics kernel.(fxp is not a stock kernel)
U must flash a stock kernel 1st.

Bro that means fastboot & flashtool drivers are not installed or not installed correctly..
Do this go to C:/ Flashtool /drivers/drivers.exe and install this exe file
Warning pop ups will be given by window but you will choose "install drivers anyways "
Reboot Desktop and phone then try connecting in fastboot or flashtool

have you tried fastboot another kernel and flash another rom via cwm?
or if youre on fxp kernel, just flash some other fxp based rom?
I can't fast boot anything because my PC does not detect my phone. Thanks for reply.

I had similar problem with all drivers properly installed, i tried everything and nothing... until i uninstalled the "DroidExplorer" .
Probably it was some kind of driver conflict or something, so if you are using anything like that.. uninstall it and try

can you tell me where droid explorer is located i cant find it with root uninstaller. It will be an honour if i fix this problem.:crying:
Its not in your phone, its a windows application for managing an android phone.
My point was to see if you have any drivers conflict...
When you plug the phone to your PC, what does it show in "my computer"?? When i had the problem.. in mu computer my device showed as two devices with different names.
all fixed
thnx guys the prblem is fixed all i done was enter fastboot and sony adb drivers installed thnx for your help guys. i have removed cm9 now hooray!
Prob is fixed

Plug usb cable on pc
Press volume up key while plugging usb on your phone. You will see that the led bar becomes blue.
