USB Drivers on Windows 10
Greetings!
I have been playing around with my Xperia Z2 for a couple of days now, and I cannot seem to get the last remaining drivers installed, that is required for me to unlock boot loader.
I have tried the ways described on Androids "unlockbootloader" website, without succes.
Then I started googling around, and found a driver tool in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830) and when I run the program, and select the "Fastboot Drivers", it fails the installation.

When I try to install the driver manually from "Device Manager", where you select the driver for "S1Boot Fastboot" --> Browse my computer for driver software --> ~\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

So what could I have done wrong? Or could it be that the drivers just aren't compatible with Windows 10 yet?
Any help or guidance appreciated!

I was able to get drivers install with these instructions http://www.flashtool.net/win8drivers.php but still having issues
3/037/2016 20:37:15 - ERROR -
13/037/2016 20:37:15 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

13/037/2016 20:37:16 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
EDIT: I just went back through it. Flashtool running, tablet powered on, plugged tablet into USB, selected device type. Then select Flash, first flash option (not fastboot), waited until window popped. Then I unplugged USB, powered off, waited 5-secs, pressed and held volume-down button, plugged in USB

EDIT2: After several minutes, it finally said Flash was finished, unplug and power on. Then it booted two (or three?) times. I thought it was bootloop-ing, but it finally came up to "Android is starting, Optimization app ..."
I too am having big trouble getting flashtool work with win 10 and my z2. How did you get it to work. Which driver's did you use? Phone is currently dead and my daughter is desperate fur me to fix it.

I used the drivers from Flashtool. But you have to go through the steps on that page to the letter. They apply exactly the same on Windows 10 as on Windows 8.
Before, I would just get that they failed. After following procedure, when I used the Flashtool driver install, it then asks "do you want to install this unsigned driver", just as it's lined out on that page.
In Windows 10, you have to disable driver signature verification on boot.
To do so: Start>Settings>Update and security>restore>Advanced boot (or something similar):
From there, choose the Troubleshoot option>Then head into Advanced options>Then Startup Settings. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time. Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.

Hi everyone
i have a very rare problem with my x10 which is stocked at Sony Ericsson logo.
the problem is caused by flashing FeraLab Rom without flashing the FeraKernel before that. I didnt knew kernel is a most and should be installed first and that started to fuc my phone..
after that i tried everything in the net, installed everything that was related to xperia x10 drivers to get it detected by the PC but it just doesnt work and im still having the damn problem.
i tried using sony companion, sony update service ( which i guess doesnt support sony ericsson phones anymore ) to repair and anything els. but they're not helping me either.
I just need some help here to get my xperia x10 get detected by the windows 7 and flashtools/sony companion to repair it and reflash the roms.
right now when i connect it to pc it just says Unknown Device detected and by trying to updating driver with sdk tool and everything els, it still has problems. another message i get during this process is USB Device Not Recognized.
if any expert here have solutions for me, please give it to me, im stuck on this for about 1 week and you may know what that make me feel..
ok, first you must install SEMC flash drivers for X10, this are drivers that I used on my Win7 and Win8.1

can you tell me what should i exactly do with those files? i dont know how they work.
thanks for helpin!
you need to connect your device in flash mode in order to install this drivers. To do this, first turn off your X10 and unplug it from your PC. Then press and hold back button and connect the phone to PC USB port. You should see black screen and green LED on, and the PC should find a new device called "SEMC HSUSB Device". Now install on this new founded device drivers from above.

try to disable digital signature requirement using this method:
Method 1.
Go to Start Menu and type "cmd.exe" in the Search Bar and press <Enter>. (Remember you must be logged on as Administrator)
OR you can go to "All Programs", then "Accessories", right-click on "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as administrator".
1. Now type the following and press <Enter> after each line:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
2. Restart your computer
3. This will disable your Windows 7 driver signing.
4. Install the driver for your device (X10i)
If this did NOT work for you, here is another way to disable Windows 7 driver signing.
Method 2.
1. During boot-up, continuously press <F8> to get to Advanced Boot Options. Note: On some systems, you need to first press <F2> to go into Boot Menu, then press <F8> to reach Advanced Boot Options.
2. When the menu appears, use the DOWN arrow key to scroll to “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.”
3. Press <Enter>.
4. Continue the boot process.
5. After your computer has completed the boot process, try to install the driver for your device.
Hope this helps..

Hello,
I would like to root my Z5C, but I can't load the phone in fastboot mode.
I tried the following :
adb reboot bootloader (with my phone one, with usb debug)
the phone shut down completely, but nothing is displayed on the screen
power up + volume up (from my phone shutdowned)
there are three vibrations, and sometimes the logo Xperia appears for a few second, but then the screen show the charging icon
power down + plug usb (from my phone shutdowned)
nothing appends
each time, I tried the following command to check if the phone was indeed in fastboot mode :
fastboot devices
but I get nothing (empty list).
Could you help me please?
thanks in advance.
As far as I know, only the led will light up. The display stays black. Have you looked in the device manager if your device is recognized there. Maybe as an unknown device etc?
then I probably don't have the correct driver. I installed this one
developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z5-compact-driver
Do you know where I can find the correct driver?
In device manager, I see a new item when I plug my phone :
USB mass storage device
I tried to update the driver with the one mentioned before, but it says that it is already up to date.

You've got some commands wrong. Volume up plus power is hard reset. You get 3 vibrations then phone is off.
To get into fastboot mode or flash mode you do not use power button and phone needs to be off. Simply hold volume up and plug in USB for fastboot mode, or hold volume down plus plug in USB for flash mode. Blue LED for fastboot and green LED for flash mode.
This is the best option for install and drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
I became a lot more understandable, thanks you.
I tried to install android driver from the topic you suggested (I know I should post in this topic, but I have not enough privileges to do so), but I have the following issue :
after the installation of the drivers, I followed the howto_driver.zip (the device is not recognized), and in step 5, I don't see the "android device" driver.
As suggested by

I tried to install KB2917929 but during the installation I got
The update is not applicable for this computererror. After a bit of googleing, I found this

Hi ,
The Best Thing To Install KB2917929 Is To Remove The KB2919355 Update
To remove the update, follow these methods:
Press Windows Key + X.
Click on Programs and Features.
Click on View installed updates on the left hand side.
Find the update KB2919355, right click on it and Uninstall.
After That Re Install The KB2917929 Update And It Will Be Installed

But when I tried to uninstal KB2919355 I got this error :
An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalledI gave up and tried to install the usb driver from a folder. I downloaded the following driver : developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
but when I tried to update the driver, I get a message error saying
windows could not find driver software for your device.I run out of option (I might try this with linux, but I have no machine running under linux right now).
try forcing install of the driver by selecting the unknow device/detected phone and update/install driver by "find software driver in pc" then "choose manually driver from a driver list" then "driver disk" button on the right, "explore" and go the folder and select the downloaded driver. Be sure to install the correct driver described in the guides.
I get the following after selecting the "driver disk" :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I suppose that by explore you mean Have disk.
I tried to select the usb driver directory, and I get the following error :
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systemThe folder I selected is the unzip of the driver from developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

Hi, I am trying to root this phone using the guide here: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9919-1-1.html#.WGr04lzUHIU
However in Windows 10, nothing happens when I hit the download button, and in Linux this error happens when using the files I got from the guide:

this is the same PC, with Ubuntu and Windows 10 dual boot
I have tried the fastboot method, but I can't get my bootloader to unlock, the vol up button simply doesn't register on the phone.
So is there any fix? Or am missing something?
Problem solved! Windows 10 doesn't like the drivers provided. However Windows 7 does, so I advise that you keep your Windows 7 install somewhere
Follow this it will explain what you need to do. I had same issue with Windows 10 but rooted my P9000 no problem. I used FlashTools - all the info you need here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
I gave up following tutorials on elephone.hk forum & just followed tutorials from here, but whatever your personal preference - hope it helps ;0)
Need my elephone back
Not sure if this is best placed here???
So....tried to flash my Elephone P9000 using the SmartPhone Flash Tool and all the steps provided tutorial at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
Using Win10 so it took me a while to disable the driver signature enforcement option to get the drivers installed. Got that done and all..so far so good.
Download all the files as the tutorial says...clicked download and connected the phone which was powered off. Up pops a messages "PMT changed for ROM; it must be downloaded."
Google search for this and came across some pages that informed me to click on the 'Format' section in the Flash Tool
Did this and then went back into 'Download' and hey presto, the flash worked and I got the big green tick.
Lovely stuff...until I tried to power on my phone....dead in the water. Power+Volume Up does nothing, power on its own does nothing. I've downloaded loads of instances of the Flash Tool, tried the elephone stock ROM scatter file, recovery image files etc and still nothing. Read loads of similar pages where it's happened to others but just wont work for me!!!!
Can anyone help?

this usually happends when your flashing with old preloader... try installing CM13 with updated preloader, it should work.
Thanks Ruben, I managed to get the green tick in the sm flash tools using the 'Elephone P9000 Preloader_Lk_Boot_Recovery update' scatter text file.
Phone still wont power on at all and i can't access the sd card to copy across any ROMS so I'm back to square 1 by the looks of it. I'll keep pluggin away at it.
Heyo
Following situation:
I tried to root and flash my old Sony Xperia Z3 compact which I have been using as an mp3 player. I successfully did so (I think), however when I wiped my data to flash to linage os, it gave me error 7. I assumed it was because my TWRP version was way out of date so I updated that, and hit "reboot into recovery" to activate the new twrp version.
Unfortunately the phone didn't boot into recovery and just wound up stuck at the sony screen without anything else since no OS is installed.
I can't boot into recovery manually either, it just boots into the sony logo and gets stuck there.
I do have a backup in twrp but I can't install that since I can't get into recovery, and I can't manually access the storage since usb debugging is not active while on the sony startup screen.
Is there anything I can do or is my z3c rip?
I can connect the phone in fastboot and flashmode and flashtool does recognize it, however I can't really seem to do anything while in flashmode and fastboot mode doesn't work since flashtool tells me I don't have the right drivers for the device, however when I try to install the driveres it hands out an error message

If your using Windows 10 you'll probably need a Windows 7 virtual machine if you don't have a physical PC with Windows 7 already installed. That or you'll need to turn on test mode for Windows
But if I may ask what fhe error(s) output whwn trying to install said drivers?

I've attatched 4 screenshots in my OP, thats all I see, it doesn't actually state what the error is, just that it didn't finish.
Will it go through with win7? Actually that aside, is there a way to force a new os onto the phone via the flashtool to begin with?
Since your Windows computer needs to recognize the Xperia z3 based on Qualcomm chipset once connected, the PC should have installed proper USB drivers. which in no case depends on Windows version or Windows edition. You have to obtain the USB drivers and also the ADB / Fastboot drivers from OEM's / Carrier's website. It's never a good idea to install the ADB / Fastboot drivers elsewhere offered on WEB.
And once installed, restart the PC.
If successful then use

My carrier doesn't offer any drivers whatsoever.
But all of that aside, even if I do get fastboot running, is there even a way to force a new OS onto the phone via some tool?
Hello. I recently brought back my x820 to life. I need a phone.
It had TWRP and a custom rom. I tried to wipe and I actually wiped too much. So I had to install stock rom again because for some reason, lineage gave me an error at install (like it wasn't the right rom but it really was since I found it here https://download.lineageos.org/x2).
So I try to install TWRP again: twrp-3.7.0_9-0-x2.img found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x2/
I launch ADB on a cmd prompt
- adb devices (List of devices attached e816a730 device). Super it's working and recognized
- adb reboot bootloader (phone miraculousely reboots in fastboot mode - YAY)
- fastboot devices ....... goes back to c:\ADB .... no devices found
So I reinstall ADB (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/). Y to all, reinstall drivers and everything. Reboot PC. Do everything again.....still the same weird fastboot < waiting for devices >.
Devloper options are enabled.
OEM is unlocked.
USB debugging is ON.
Cable has been changed.
Cables have been plugged on USB 2.0 ports (in the back), on 2 different computers.....still the same thing.
*#*#76937#*#* typed in and AT ports enabled.
Could someone have the kindness to help me figure out what's wrong with what I'm doing? I'm usually pretty comfortable with rooting, flashing etc....but I'm clueless here.
Thanks for any help or input.
First off, please install the Android SDK Platform Tools [instead of 15 seconds ADB installer]
Once done, install the Fastboot Drivers on your PC.
The ADB Tools [Platform Tools, 15 seconds installer, etc] don't have Fastboot binaries, so you will only be able to execute ADB-related commands and not the Fastboot ones.
Thanks.
I downloaded the fastboot drivers. But I can't seem to install them. In fastboot mode, I see this in my device manager:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
I follow instructions from here: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-fastboot-drivers-in-windows-11/ (your link). Although I'm on windows 10.
When I try to update driver, whatever I do, I get this error:
Which means "the folder doesn't contain any compatible driver for your device. If it contains a driver, make sure it can work for x64 computers".
So I'm pretty sure it's a driver problem. Is there a way to completely uninstall previous drivers and go from scratch again? Or any cleverer solution?
Try removing the faulty device then disable driver signature enforcement and install drivers.

Thanks to both of you. Especially to you binary who pointed me on the right tutorial. I was doing something wrong when updating drivers in fastboot mode. I chose a device before locating the .inf file.
YES
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The bottom screen was taken from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
"Show all devices" MUST be selected before going a step further apparently. All 3 drivers were installed flawlessly. TWRP was flashed successfully. I just need to figure out why it's still the old stock recovery showing up when I VOL+ and POWER start.
Cheers guys.

Glad that you were able to rectify the driver issue. As far as TWRP is concerned, as soon as you flash it, boot straight to it [without booting to the system] and then check out the result.
In some instances, the device tends to replace TWRP with stock recovery upon boot. So avoid booting to the OS and use fastboot reboot recovery to straightaway boot to TWRP after flashing it.
Thanks. Working great
