[Ray] S1Tool with Win8.1 or XP (with VMware) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

So I got Xperia Ray, but it is simlocked to some carrier. I would like to unlock it's bootloader. As it is 11W37 it should be possible with s1tool.
But how to make this program work with Windows 8.1 (x64 if it's important)? Once per ten tries s1tool's window blinks and that's all I can get
Tried to start it as admin and as Win7 and Xp, but it didn't help...
Both OSes have all the drivers installed, except Zeus on Win 8.1 as it just installed it as some Qualcomm device, however as s1tool didn't work on this OS I just didn't bother with the drivers.
So I booted VMware and Windows XP SP3. There I was able to start s1tool and had no problems till app asked to PLEASE ATTACH TURNED OFF PHONE NOW. When I connected it with or without battery it wasn't recognised either as how (8.1) or as VMware XP...
So I'm stuck as I cannot launch s1tool on host and make guest to see turned off device
Any idea?

bootloader unlock on win7 x64, possible?

I want to unlock bootloader of my st15i, but the driver wont install, it says that I need 64 bit version of package,
but when I connect testpoint to USB cable shield, I hear the same sound as i hear when i connect my USB mouse (i.e. hardware connected) but I dont get any new hardware found wizard.
extra information- I have installed SEUS and pc companion both
anyone?
Just try to install XP Mode, if you have an W7 Ultimate (or Win XP Pro in Virtual Machine).
Install All drivers and soft you need to unlock to XP.
Then assign USB device to Vitrual Machine, and try.
It should be to work.
In that way i am rooting\flashing my phone.
Sorry for my english
I unlocked the boot-loader of the phone on my Windows 7 64-bit just fine and I also installed PC Companion / SEUS and the Google USB Driver (which can be found in the Android SDK) before connecting the phone. Try the Device Manager if your phone driver has been correctly installed or remove to re-install it.
google USB driver isn't that driver which is used when we use zergrush method for root, I think I alreadyinstalled it when I rooted, I dont know where i'm going wrong, did you get the error while installing drivers that came with S1tool? or can you share the S1tool you used along with drivers if possible?
or maybe I'm using wrong point as testpoint, can you show me the testpoint?
anyone??
don't be lazy pals

Xperia U adb devices not showing on Windows 7 x86

I've got an Xperia U (st25i) unbranded firmware 6.0.B.3.184, but my Windows 7 x64 doesn't show adb device at all, I have a working mtp device (that looks like it cannot be disabled). Same device works fine in adb on linux, even passing the usb device to a vmware machine with linux.
I've tried with Xperia_P_Xperia_U_Xperia_sola_drivers.zip and install PC Companion, but the adb devices still does not show, if I force add the adb interface from inf, windows 7 says it cannot start, there is same problem on windows 7 x86. Windows xp x86 instead automatically installs mtd devices but prompts for the adb device drivers, so I can give him the drivers. Any clue?
Make sure PC is connected to internet then connect the device in fastboot mode. Win7 downloads and installs drivers automatically.

I don't need fastboot drivers, just adb to develop, I'm always connected, but adb interface does not show at all in device manager, I don't have unknown/failed devices in device manager

You have the "wrong" drivers installed. Use the drivers provided with c:\flashtool\drivers
-> then turn off internet on pc before connecting phone. <- prevents windoze from auto install via update

The only driver windows automatically install is the mtd (that doesn't need internet because is in win), I don't have the device VID_0FCE&PID_5171&MI_01 but only VID_0FCE&PID_5171
It's a bit strange a common developer should download a non sony tool to develop with a sony phone
I had a similar problem with my XS, I get around it by enabling 'install PC companion' in connectivity settings under 'xperia'. Then when you plug the phone in, on your phone select install. It should then appear both as an MTP device the PCC installation, just cancel that latter.
I've used the wrong thread title, it should be x64 not x86, I've just verified that windows 7 32bit downloads and installs the adb driver, I had similar problem with gt7500 on windows xp 64bit, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434319
I've solved modifying the inf file, I think I cannot change inf on windows 7 x64 because the driver becomes unsigned. Perhaps gt7500 works fine on windows 7
Heh... You stiill refuse to listen.
Install drivers provided with flashtool. Just doit and report back

tested with internet disconnected and drivers pack in flashtool-0.9.1.0-windows.exe, same thing, windows shows only mtp device

Tell Me how Please....:crying:
I just solved this issue for my Xperia S.
Here are the steps:
1. Install driver on flashtool (I also install the pc companion)
1. On device manager, open the MTP device, and select reinstall device driver
2. Choose install the driver manually and list the compatible driver
3. It would only show one "USB Composite Device" for this device and install it
4. After the driver installed, the adb device just shows up!

Flashtools Windows 8 Issues (Works When Restart)

Hello Everybody,
I am having some issues with the drivers when trying to use flashtools on a Windows 8 64bit system. I have installed the flashtools driver with driver enforcement disabled and the drivers were all properly installed (as it claims). When I try to connect my phone in flashmode, I get a message saying USB device is not recognized however it is recognized when the phone is on.
After hours of troubleshooting and frustration, I decided to try to put my phone in flashmode immediately after I restart and I went to flashtools and miraculously it worked! This shows that my computer is able to detect the phone but only before it is booted.
Does anybody know how I can get it properly working without having to restart for every flash?
Regards,
MrAznJzn

[Q] Problems Installing ROM from VirtualBox

Hello,
my laptop has the operating system GNU/Linux (Debian Testing) and I installed Windows XP Professional on VirtualBox. Virtualized XP recognizes USB devices mounted on the host. After, I installed the drivers for my smartphone Star S7589 and it is recognized by XP.
The problem begins with Flash Tools. When I want to start the process, after giving the button "Download" and I insert the phone without battery, then VirtualBox not recognize it and It doesn't start the installation of the ROM.
How could you recognize the phone connected to USB when it's turned off?
Thanks.

I had a very similar problem. Ubuntu 13.04, virtualbox and Windows Vista. My tablet could be recognized as a mass storage device but I could never get it into APX mode because it wouldn't recognize it.
I ended up finding flash tools for my tablet for Linux.
I would suggest you see if there are flashing tools that work on Linux instead.
