[Q] Fastboot drivers - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've tried to unlock my bootloader on SGP321. I followed the instructions on the sony website, but when I try to download the fastboot driver to replace in the android sdk, the downloaded file contains only a setup info file named android_winusb. No .inf file, so when I connect the tablet to the pc holding the fastboot button (volume+) I get a fastboot s1 device and Win7 cannot find any driver in the sdk/extras/google/usb drivers folder (as per sony's website instructions).
Does anyone know what's going on and provide some advice on how to perform the unlocking (my bootloader is unlockable, as I checked following sony's instructions).
Thanks for any help guys!
Luca

Hello, I am not sure if I got your problem right, but if you are searching for Fastboot drivers for the XTZ, then see this post. I just did this yesterday and went through the process too. For your convenience, I have packed just the installer file to a ZIP archive and uploaded it here: http://mysharegadget.com/333422488
And if you haven't done so already, do not forget to backup you TA partition before the unlock, see this topic. It will allow you to return back to the normal locked state with DRM keys.

I thought I replied to your message, but I guess I just hit the thanks button!
However thanks again for the useful information.

Click to collapse
try the instructions found Here at the top click captivate and vibrant instructions or just go here
if you have a root file browser such as root explorer (Not the file browser that comes with the vibrant) you can look for your efs folder using that app. (it should be in the root directory that opens up when you open your file browser /efs )
you can also use ADB to pull the efs folder.
adb pull /efs
or if you just want the nv_data.bin file:
adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin
if you need to see whats in it or back it up (which I recommend strongly weather you do it with a root browser or ADB)
Hello, i followed the exact instructions as said on this link:

One thing i should mention is that this phone i recently bought and it came with firmware "t959uvji6" i tried to use the one step unlock method here and failed then realized i should downgrade to "t959uvjfd" and i followed the instructions of of the xda website doing this using odin with both the pda and the pit file.

As far as I know the one click method will never work after having JI6 on your phone, you'll have to do it the long way.
if that link I sent you wont work, there is another thing to try, but its pretty complicated. heres my guide for the last person that asked this...
although most people have better luck doing it with that site I sent you to.
Dial *#7465256# and if it all says off then your phones already unlocked so ignore the rest of this.
Follow these instructions to unlock (specificaly by helroz, if you need to, read ahead and see what problems other people have had though)
dial *#7465256# in the dialer (as soon as you hit the last # it should work)
make sure everything says off (this means your unlocked)
EDIT: Make sure you have ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed on your computer before running the script.
Also make sure that you have USB debugging checked by hitting (from the home screen) Menu >> Settings >> Applications >> Development >> USB Debugging
You can download and install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) by following the instructions here
This will also install ADB.
another good idea is to make a backup of your efs file (I beleive this is in the instructions for running the script, but I thought I should say it again)
just in case something goes wrong.
this file is located in : the root of your data partition if I remember correctly, it should be labeled "efs"
you can use a root file manager (I use root explorer but it is a paid app) or you can use ADB to pull it.
you may want to download the drivers for your phone as well, if you haven't already that is.
you can get them here
thx for all reply tomorrow i'll try to follow your instruction and then let you know
hello i have tryied again with root explorer and and generator unlocker now seems to find the file but as you can see in the file attached let me know that found the code but don't display

[Q] Cannot unlock the bootloader: what am I missing?

I succeeded in doing the following:
1) downgrade my tablet to a rootable fw version
2) rooted with doomlord tool
Now I need to unlock my bootloader: I had requested the key a while ago, but never got around to using it.
I followed all the instructions and succeeded in connecting the tablet in fastboot mode to my pc (drivers installed fine and I receive a reply when issuing the trial command getvar version, meaning, I presume that the device is connected and able to receive commands and reply to them).
However when I issue the command in the instructions on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions and replace the final "KEY" with the key provided by Sony via email I receive a reply "FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)": what could I be doing wrong? I also copied and pasted the command in order to make sure that the syntax was correct and checked the code I input many times to make sure I did not miss or messed up something, but it all seems OK. I issued the command from within the same directory where the getvar command was issued, i.e. within Android SDk/Tools folder (the procedure on the website doesn't suggest to change folder, so I didn't!) , but no success at all!
Can anyone suggest some way out?
Thanks

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is bootloader unlocking allowed on your tablet ?
Some service providers have blocked bootloader unlocking.

I followed the procedure on the Sony website to check that and the answer is yes, it can be unlocked.
I tried some other tutorials and no results. It seems that it might be connected to the doomlord exploit (which I used to gain root access), but all the instructions on how to get around that have failed to allow me the unlocking!!!!

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader- Xperia M

I recently tried rooting my Sony Xperia M. The rooting process was successful but I soft bricked my phone when trying to unlock the bootloader following the instructions on SONY's site: (developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader)( I am posting the link this way as external links are not allowed currently) The instructions were confusing and unclear. I still haven't been able to understand the instructions, especially the part where it says to plug the device in flashboot mode after which it will ask where to install the driver(Such a driver installation request never came up for me). So I installed flash tool from a link I found in this site and installed the drivers (I had also downloaded the sdk package given in the instructions in SONY'S site). But after I ran the commands in cmd, the phone never rebooted(it was stuck in a boot-loop). So I took it to the service centre and now it's in the unrooted form. I really wish to install the custom fw but I dont wanna brick it again. Clear instructions for unlocking the bootloader would be highly helpful. (btw I am using windows 8 on my PC)

You can look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/huawei-honor-6-plus-root-tutorial-t2991788
Thanks but it looks like that account and link have been disabled
Use the inbuilt app center to download google play services, once installed, you can then access google play and off you go. The Chinese inbuilt app center does seem to be really good and enables you to download all Google apps and also it's app updates are ahead of Google play.
I just need to root mine now. Anyone managed it yet?
Thanks mate but it keeps saying its not supported by my device...am I downloading the wrong one?
Go to the in built app center, the blue icon, Huawei app center, Open it and the first tab should have a search page. Type in that Google play services and it should find it, if not search and then install from the link.
It installed fine on my PE-TL10 version that arrived yesterday.
Once that was installed, I could install play and the rest using the same method. No root access required to get them installed. It comes up with the accoun, new or existing page and once that's done, you can use it as normal as well as all your other Google apps.
Don't know why your having problems, this went well on mine. Just need to root it now.
I've done that but it only gives me the option to 'open' it rather than 'install' ????
Open it, it won't work without.
still can't get gmail to work. That's the on,y app that won't work.
Will have to wait for a root I guess then install GAPPS...
That should work shouldn't it?
Check out this guide to install Google apps. This exactly what I did: http://www.huaweimobileshop.com/blog/huawei-honor-6-install-google-account/
I hope it helps. I have now unlocked my boot loader but need cwm recovery for 6 plus to get root sorted as I cannot find any standalone root kit that works, so my task goes on still.
Thanks mate.
How did you get your boot loader unlocked? Will you let me know? And let me know if you find a root and GAPPS ?
Thanks
I am a bit busy today with Sunday jobs at homes but will send you all the guides I follwed and I will get the files on to a web site to download for you. The guide is around but the problem was getting the product code. All good now, so will let you have it all later today.

Thanks mate :good:
I still do not have root as I need a valid EMUI 3.0 CWM or TWRP recovery but I do have an extracted EMUI stock recovery that I have been using while testing various supposedly Honor 6 Plus Recoveries!
So here is the Bootloader unlocking instructions taken and modified from here
Introduction
Bootloader unlocking works by using the fastboot command line utility and executing a specific command containing a ‘bootloader unlock code,’ which is unique to each specific device and must be generated based on the IMEI and serial number of the device. Once the bootloader is ‘unlocked,’ this gives us permission to flash (or overwrite) sections of the phone memory with code of our own choosing – allowing us to install recoveries, gain root access, and utilise custom ROMs (once they are available).
Huawei provide a website to generate bootloader unlock codes , but this unfortunately does not list the entirety of the Honor 6 Plus, so we have to get creative. Fortunately, there are resources available us to generate a ‘fake’ product ID for an existing model number which can trick the unlock code generator into providing us a valid code for our Honor 6 Plus, and therefore allow us to execute the bootloader unlock successfully.
Generating a Product ID
If you visit the bootloader unlock generator page (this is a page setup by Huawei themselves), you can see there are a number of required fields; namely product model, product serial number, product IMEI and product ID.
However, after selecting smartphone, you will notice that there are no Honor 6 Plus devices present in the model list – and therefore we need to generate our own product ID. To do this, download the Huawei_Product_ID_Generator (Windows only, I’m afraid) file and extract it to your machine. Please note that we did not develop this application and have no knowledge of any malware it may contain – please use your best judgement and always use antivirus when installing unknown software.
Once you have extracted the application, execute it by double clicking the .exe file. When the window appears, select Y300-0000 from the model list, and enter your devices IMEI in the field below the selection box. You can find your device IMEI on the box your Honor 6 Plus came in, or alternatively navigate on the device to Settings > About Phone > Status and your IMEI will be listed.

}
Selecting Y3000-000
After selecting Y300-0000 and entering your IMEI code, your newly generated product code will be visible in the lower box. Save this number or write it down somewhere safe, and move on to the next step, getting hold of the bootloader unlock code itself.
Getting a Bootloader Unlock Code
At this point, we need to go back to the official Huawei bootloader unlock code generator page. Now that we have a product ID, we are able to generate an unlock code quite easily. First of all, select Smartphone for device type, then select Y300-0000 (about halfway down) for the product model. The remaining fields should be fairly straightforward – fill in your IMEI and serial number (either from the box or on your phone in Settings > About Phone > Status) into the appropriate boxes.
For the product ID, enter the one you generated with the generator earlier – not the one of your actual device. Once all fields have been filled, complete the CAPTCHA at the bottom of the field and click ‘submit.’
If everything has been completed successfully, you will now be in possession of your unlock code. Congratulations!
Driver Installation
Now that you have an unlock code, we can move forward with unlocking the bootloader. First of all, you’ll need to download the package containing required drivers and utilities for the phone, extract it to your computer, and navigate to the resultant directory.
You will likely need to install drivers for your device, so do this now – extract the Drivers file and navigation within, then execute DriverSetup.exe and allow it to complete. When this installation has completed, restart your computer as advised by the driver installation wizard. The requisite software for the bootloader unlock and recovery installation should now be prepared and active on your computer.
Bootloader Unlock
You will need to get and down and dirty with a bit of command line magic in order to actually unlock your bootloader. The simplest way to open a command prompt in the correct place is to navigate into the adb_tools folder or somewhere you have them, and open a command line window and cd ****** to this folder. Your should have fastboot etc in this folder if correct.
The first thing to check is whether or not our device has been detected. Within the command prompt in the tools directory, enter the following command and then hit enter:
adb devices
If you don’t see any output after this, you probably need to install drivers. Install the included driver package, restart your machine, then try again. On the other hand, if you see a device listed, then everything has been detected correctly and you will be able to unlock your bootloader straight away. You then need to put your Mate 7 device into bootloader mode. The easiest way to do this is to enter the following command into the command prompt and hit enter:
adb reboot bootloader
This will get you into the bootloader mode of your device. You may have to press ‘okay’ on a phone screen popup to allow the adb command to connect properly. Once in the bootloader, we can perform the bootloader unlock. To do this, simply enter the following command and hit the enter key – replacing YOURUNLOCKCODE with the code we generated earlier:
fastboot oem unlock YOURUNLOCKCODE
If everything works correctly, you will be given a message in the command prompt, and the phone bootloader screen will now stated ‘PHONE Unlocked.’ Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader.
I have added the adb set up file to get your tools folder and also a copy of the generator file
Can those with the 6 plus tell me what the pros and cons of this phone? is the camera really good or not?

I have found a that now roots the 6Plus. Mine is now rooted and original recovery back on.
I used the Honor 6 Multi-tool from this thread in the XDA pages.
I am not sure if the bootloader unlock works or not, so if you can get it unlocked as above or try this tool.
The tool is for the 6 not especially the 6Plus but using the install CWM recovery works, then I used the boot to recovery and then selected root by sidelobe (install zip/install zip by sidelobe menus). SU was installed permissions set. As I wanted to ensure that the correct stock recovery was used (my EMUI3.0 extracted before) I selected to reboot the phone by exiting the (recovery) and it then asked me if I wanted to fix root, I selected yes, rebooted the phone. Checked that root was working and then went back to bootloader and fastboot flash recovery (my recovery) to get it back to stock.
I am now a happy Man, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Hopefully you will be able to as well mikejasonsmith.

This is cool mate - thanks so much!
Going to try and do it over the next day or so. Really appreciate your hard work on this.
What ROM are you going to stick on it?
I am using the ROM that came with the phone from Pompmall and it updated a small update once turned on. The current ROM is marked as CUSTCHNC00D112SP05, Build Number: PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B112SP05.
I take it that you are going to put GAPPS on while you have CWM recovery fitted? Don't forget that unless you flash back the stock recovery, you wont be able to use their update files and have to get a zip file of the ROM. But now we have a working CWM Recovery, it can be flashed easy by using fastboot if needed.
The owner of that multitool has said that he will add the 6Plus to it, so that will be good. I have provided him with my stock EMUI3.0 recovery to add in to the process.

Ive already got GAPPS on it via Nova but this now opens up more possibilities.
What are you going to be doing to yours???? Must admit Im liking this phone so far - battery life is awesome.

Can't Unlock Bootloader HDX 7 4.5.5.3 (Unlock code is not correct)

I read other threads with the same issue, before post this , but i cant solve it yet
Rooted HDX 4.5.5.3 -Check
Set developer mode on the Kindle -Check
Allow USB Depuration before proceed -Check
Downloaded ADB Composite Drivers / Unlock Bat's / ADB Interface- Check
I run as admin both files without problems, abut the error appears when kindle reboots "Unlock Failed- Unlock code is not correct"
(The files are placed on the correct site,by the way)
I tried
Download again ADB + Fastboot
Reinstall ADB Composite Drivers
Reboot Kindle
Download again Unlock files from original thread
Erase mutiple times unlock.code
No sucess at this point
Any suggestion its apreciated, serial number seems ok
I dont try downgrade yet , because someone post recently he bricks his device using this procedure, so i prefer stay away if is possible.

You need to install a vulnerable bootloader before unlocking. See step #2 in OP of linked thread. Scroll to the end of that thread to secure the referenced files as links in the OP are dead. Proceed with caution; a simple mistake can yield a world of hurt and potentially an unrecoverable device.
If your device is rooted you do NOT need to downgrade.
Yeah im following the steps correctly, i try again on my desktop tonight with Windows Vista , i think its some issue with W10 FCU on the laptop, when i tried unlock bootloader on my Blu Life One X2 on w10 , the system show excatly the same issues with unlocking tools, i repply the results

Can you boot into TWRP after completing step #2 of the unlock procedure? If not it is likely the vulnerable bootloader (ABOOT) was not properly installed.
Step #2 can be performed independent of steps #1 and #3. IMO it should be the first step taken after rooting. There is no need to generate an unlock code (step #1) prior to installing and testing the vulnerable bootloader and TWRP (step #2).

Sucess on my desktop PC , i have fully working TWRP and unlock code at the first try, dont know why fails on my laptop every time i tried, on the Blu Life X2 the bootloader and TWRP needs be patched to work on W10 , probably some issue with drivers or something weird, if someone have this issue try on other computer with old OS, thanks for the assistance
what should I do when vulnerable bootloader (ABOOT) was not properly installed
