Hello, since there is no workaround yet to install flashboot driver in windows 8.1 x64, so I thought if I can flash my XP in VMware.
I installed windows xp in VMware installed flashtool and drivers. but when flashtool asks to connect the phone, I connect it but Windows xp doesn't see it. The phone restarts almost immediately and boots up normally.
Now my question is, is it possible to flash my Xperia P from vmware? If yes, then what am I doing wrong?
Is there any way to flash my phone other than installing windows all over?
Thanks in advance.

U can install flashboot drivers on win 8 by these:
Disable driver signature check
Then install flashtool-drivers.exe :good:

Um ok did you install the files?

Yes. Disabled driver sigining verification and then replaced the files in C:\system\windows32 and then instaled the driver. It succesfully installed all three drivers (Xperia P, adb and flashmode). But when I connect my Xperia P, Flashtool says drivers needed to be installed.
I've installed resurrection ROM by Abhinav2. It is great but the phone app lags a lot. I mean really lot. That's why wanted to go back to darkROM. But it is impossible to install DarkROM without installing Stock ROM first. Kinda stuck in ressurection ROM.

Hello everyone
I have problem, which I didn't had before, I repaired my phone using SUS(Sony Update Service), flashed .562 Kernel, used DooMLord Toolkit for root, and after that when I try to flash back to .587 Kernel using Flashtool my phone wont go to Flashmode, nor Fastboot, this is not my first time to root my phone, I did this a lot of times, but now I have this problem, I'm using same files I used before, only newer version of Flashtool(0.9.10.1)
Any Solution?
I solved it by installing new ADB drivers for my Device and Flashtool
well since the only thing you changed is flashtool...try with the older version of flashtool..

I think that was the problem, probably something messed up when I installed the new flashtool, so I found installed new ADB drivers. Thanks

Try install flashtool's drivers? Drivers should in flashtool file.
Install the drivers in the /Flashtool/drivers directory.

I've got them installed and on stock system everything works well, but after installing cm9 flashtool said that I don't have drivers installed.
Install the drivers in the folder /Flashtool/drivers then while installing select your device from the check box and scroll down to the last for fastboot and flashboot drivers and it will be fine...

What?
I guessed that your PC was blocking the drivers, damn, if the F8 trick didn't worked.
Tried to run Flashtool64?
If that didn't work then I suggest to use other computer.

The problem is that everything works with stock sony rom, but after flashing cm9 my pc does not see my phone. I think that isn't pc related.
It can be, what CM do you use? Original or FXP?
Yes, but patched for locked bootloader - maybe this is the problem
If your computer can read flash drives or any other USB device, then I don't think that is a the PC, if in stock it can be read then it's about the ROM, maybe is a bug.
