I'm in CWM, and I can't sideload because it says "error: device not found". Running "adb devices" shows nothing. I see that Xperia Z2 is not recognized (yellow exclamation point) in device management.
The Google USB drivers aren't recognized. The Google USB drivers with the updated android_winusb.inf I downloaded from Sony in order to fastboot aren't recognized. The Xperia Z2 drivers I got from Sony aren't recognized.
So, could anyone please tell me where I could get some drivers so I can sideload this POS? Or does anyone have any other ideas for why I can't sideload?
I already tried searching for answers and drivers, and checking the sticky, but nobody else seems to be having this problem. Thanks much.
PS: I can't use my sdcard because my sdcard to usb dongle thing just broke. I can't download the zip I need directly onto the phone because it won't boot as is.

Try flashing TWRP, For some reason the CWM drivers for any Xperia just doesnt exist.
TWRP though on the other hand works perfectly fine after you insall the drivers
you can use flashtool to flash TWRP If you have a unlocked bootloader which im asuming you have?

Yeah, I've unlocked the bootloader. I'll give TWRP a shot, then. It's weird that CWM drivers don't exist. Thanks.

Once you connect your phone via usb and while you are pressing volume up button, on windows go start-> right click on computer->devices manager. Now you should see your device. Right click and install drivers manually from the folder of the drivers you downloaded.
Notice that you have to be fast since and that maybe you will have to repeat this procedure several times since firsts times phone remains on fastboot for really few seconds.
You can also try another way. Download and install latest flashtool. After that go to Computer-> C:/-> Flashtool-> Drivers-> run Flashtool-drivers. Install the drivers for your device.

Why don't you flash stock ICS firmware in flashmode(via flashtool)??
Have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?
You can also try (re)mounting sdcard in cwm recovery or with adb.
In cwm it's located in mounts and storage --> mount sdcard.
When you connect your phone to pc, do you see that "usb debugging enabled" notification?
If not you have to enable it from developer options. And when you try to do something with adb, does it give any error message, such as "device offline", "device not found" or "waiting for device"?

your problem is that ur drivers are crashed because of some weird reason..
Download usb deview at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html#DownloadLinks
unplug your phone..
now unzip the app and run it..
in the vendor id tab search for drivers having id as - "0fce"
Select ALL of them and uninstall them by right click --> uninstall selected.
remove sony pc companion.
restart your pc..
download latest adb and fastboot drivers here : http://rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
simply run the installer..
default install directory is C:\ADB
now turn off usb debugging and then connect your phone.
let it install mtp drivers.
now download flashtool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
install the flashtool.
(optional but still recommended) disable antivirus and firewall of pc
go to install directory of flashtool and locate folder "drivers"
open it and run the installer.. you will see a window asking which driver to install check the following items:
-xperia p, u, sola, go, drivers,
-fastboot
-flashtool
when its done unplug turn on usb debugging and go to installed directory of adb, press and hold shift key and then right click anywhere in that folder..
select open command prompt and pass this command:
adb devices
you should see at least one device connected.
if yes you are succeeded and fastboot will work too.

bro i cant find those sony adb in device manager im using windows 7. i have installed everything but in uninstall and remove tab i cant see sony adb
This may sound silly but two things,
have you tried a different usb port
and is the sdcard mounted in cwm.
I have to make sure the sdcard is mounted before i can connect mine.
Do a hard reset hold power and up till the phone vibrates 3 times then try to connect to flashtool by holding power and volume down.
Hello,
I'm trying to connect my Samsung GS3 to my computer to use with the Android SDK Manager and the ADB console, but when I connect it to my computer it recognizes it as a Camera and ADB doesn't recognize it either, how do I fix this?
I'm locked out of my phone and trying to unlock it using methods from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456. So I have no interaction with my phone beyond the locksreen to change from PTP to MTP as I've seen people with similair problems suggest. Is their a workaround?

Since you're already looking in the right place, consider installing a custom recovery (such as philz) with odin and then flash the zip.
Thanks for the help. I was finally able to get my computer to recognize the GS3 (Installed Samsung USB Drivers from their website instead of Kies). But now after it recognizes that I have new hardware installed, when I try to use the Wizard to automatically install the drivers I get the error: "The required section was not found in the inf", did some searching and realized that this is due to not having the wpdmtp.inf file on your computer. I've checked and it is indeed missing, does anyone now of a way to install this file?
I'm still locked out of my phone. And I don't have an SD Card to install recovery and flash the zip as dxppxd suggested.

Take another shot by booting into a custom recovery, most give you adb access while in recovery.
If the phone is locked with usb debugging disabled you won't be able to get adb access.
The device works properly. I was able to unlock the bootloader using flashtool. The problem is, I can't get it into fastboot mode. I hold volume up, plug in the usb cable, it does a quick flash from amber to green, then nothing. From what I'm reading, it's supposed to stay lit blue. So something isn't right here, but it doesn't seem like the steps can be screwed up.
As a point of reference, I tried re-flashing the factory FTF, and even installing a different one. The results are the same. Device boots fine, but I can't access recovery or bootloader(most importantly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on a mac, I got my unlock code from sony, and the last line says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"
I can try it on a pc, but the problem isn't the method, it's the device. ADB correctly sends the reboot-bootloader command, it just doesn't get to the bootloader. I get a black screen. Same for when I try and access recovery. It's just really odd that the device still works this way.
Would trying this on a pc with the drivers listed be any different? I'm at work now and I can use my PC instead of my macbook if it'll yield different results.

What were you expecting? There is no bootloader screen on the phone. You get a black screen when in fastboot mode, all commands are done from a command window on the computer.
Have you installed a recovery? If not then you cannot enter it. There is no factory or stock recovery accessible on xperia phones.
I would suggest using a Linux or windows machine, I have heard of nothing but problems using macs.
Is there any way I can reflash the factory bootloader with an ftf? I've done two so far and it hasn't seemed to help anything.
To my understanding, when the device is off, you hold volume up and then plug the usb cable in. This should make the led stay solid blue, but mine just blinks amber then green real quick, and nothing happens.
Can someone confirm that I'm not crazy here? It's not like this is my first time modifying an android device. I've been using android since the G1, I work as an IT manager, I use windows, mac, and ubuntu linux regularly, I've compiled my own roms from aosp...So this is really making me nuts!

The entire process worked fine up until trying to get into fastboot mode. Everyone is saying I should see a blue led, but that's not happening, and it doesn't respond to fastboot commands on my mac, and the pc installer doesn't install the drivers. I've tried searching for the driver files, but I'm not having any luck. I don't want an installer, I just want to manually select the windows driver files and force it to install.
Windows 8.1, latest version of flashtool, my device just shows up in device manager as c6833. When I tell it to search for drivers, it doesn't find anything even after having run the driver installer. Is there a website or a thread on xda that has just the driver files for the z ultra rather than a full installer?
Progress: I've pulled the driver files out of the installer. I'm going to try and get the device recognized on my pc in a bit.

Not sure what you mean, you have not altered the bootloader, just unlocked it. Also, flashing FTF's do not touch the bootloader

Yes, phone off, keep volume up pressed and attach USB cable (Volume down would be for flashmode) I think you have issues with the drivers on a mac

The installer with flashtool is quite good, you can choose which files to use,
Just pick the fastboot, flashmode and Z drivers

Just curious did u manage to make ur phone work cuz I got similar problem with recovery(TWRP) it sometimes only show it rest of time it's black screen and in that black screen I can tap on reboot to system or poweroff. It's annoying sometimes cuz I need to flash some important stuff.
Hey, I am new here so sorry if I'm posting in wrong board.
I rooted my P70 a while ago and everything was fine. Now I decided that I want to flash 5.1.1 on it. I proceeded to flash TWRP.
I tried it with SP flash on pc, I checked that my scatter file and recovery.img was correct. I opened the scatter file in SP, connected my phone and clicked download, but nothing happened. Only the phone started charging, I have enabled USB Debugging and developer mode. The bootloader was still the stock one. Why?
Next thing I tried is to put the recovery.img on SD card and downloading Uncletools, I flashed it and it asked me if I want to reboot in bootloader, so I did, but it was still the stock bootloader.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for any response.
Anyone got any idea?

Hey,
I have the same issue. The phone is rooted but the SP flash tool will not do anything. I've read that it's because the USB drivers are incorrect. However I am unable to install the drivers as the phone does not show up under other devices but rather under portable devices. I tried to install the android sdk and use those drivers or ones I found on the web but none of them will take. I found the ADB device signed driver under USB devices in the device manager.
I am honestly at a loss here. Would be grateful if anyone has ideas I could try!
Thanks
