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 I assumed it was because my TWRP version was way out of date so I updated that, and hit "reboot into recovery" to activate the new twrp version.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?

Which OS you are using ... just keep the windows update on the drivers will be downloaded automatically .. Get some more details of your computer
It seems you have driver problem.
try 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version'
if it returns something like 0,3 it means drivers are installed correctly.
if stucks on waiting for device, reinstall drivers =)

I had a similiar problem, though not the same. It was fixed after a reboot of my Windows 7 x64. I think my computer had problems dealing with the USB being connected and disconnected an awful lot. I have no idea if this is where your problem comes from, but it might help if you're like me and prefer leaving your computer on at all times.
Also, if you're quite new to rooting and flashing, and aren't that interested in learning the ins and outs of it, I recomend using Flashtool [1] for flashing to an earlier version of stock Android, rooting your Android, easy booting in fastmode and flashing your kernel. The only use I've found for fastboot.exe is to unlock your bootloader [2] (official guide by Sony Mobile), though I might be missing out on something (while I actually do not believe I have).
Please keep us posted.
As I'm a new member, I can't link directly to outside sites, but I'm going to break that rule to try and help you even further (ie. I did the Googling for you). Replace the spaces below with periods. Links:

thanks but actually i have unlocked bootloader.. and i have some xperience because i had x8 and i have tweaked it full
Had similar problem!
First couldn't get into fastboot, had problem installing S1 driver. Changed the USB port on my PC and it asked to install the S1 again. Chose the directory where it was and voila.
Now I have to use 2 different USB port for fast boot and flashmode. Little annoying but I got used to it.
Try it, it may work for you.
Reinstalling Windows should be your last step, especially a stable OS as Win 7!
P.s. Why don't you use Flashtool? In it's newer version there's a *.exe (under drivers folder) file that automatically install all needed drivers.

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.

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.

I accidentally flashed wrong ROM on my Xperia Tablet Z.
I own a SGP311 device and I flashed ROM for SGP321, from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/stock-10-7-0-222-customizedde-t3201224.
I successfully installed it with TWRP and after clicking reboot to system the tablet is not responding. Now I can't power on the device, cannot connect it in flashmode, it doesn't charge and so on...
I can only get led to flash after pressing certain key combinations.
Is there any solution?
Thanks for all your help!

Switch it off by holding VOL+Power for about 10 sec.
Let it charge for an hour or two, while it is charging check for all necessary drivers installed on your PC and then flash firmware via Flashtool or restore via pc-companion.
Oh, I just left it charging for a couple of hours (though there was no led on) and then I was able to connect in flashmode (vol- when plugging usb to pc). I then flashed firmware via flashtool. Thanks!

install all the necessary drivers for FlashTool or use PC-Companion to restore your device.
I have the same problem I accidentally installed a SGP-321 costum rom on my SGP-312 and now it doesn't boot anymore. I've already charged it for a few hours and then I tried to repair the software via PC companion but when I connect my device it doesn't recognize it. The Flash Tool doesn't recognize it either. I tried to install the flashtool drivers but it didn't work. I selected the following components to install: Flashmode Drivers, Fastboot Drivers, Xperia Tablet Z drivers SGP311, SGP312, UsbD and Xperia Z3 Device Driver. Some of these drivers couldn't be installed.

Check manuals how to properly install drivers (on Win 7/8.1 and especially 10 if you're on it). Also two last drivers from the list are not needed for tablet z. Without properly installed drivers, it's useless to try to restore/reflash tablet. It will not work.

Hi,
I am experiencing issues with my Poco M4 Pro 4G and trying to unlock the bootloader. What I am currently doing is the following;
I enabled developer options, enabled usb debugging and OEM unlocking. I went to unlock status hit agree and hit pair and have waited 7 days for the timer to run out
I shut down the phone and then enter fastboot by holding the volume down button and the power button at the same time.
I downloaded the mi flash unlock tool from here and I logged in using the same account as on the phone, and got up to this screen.

I then connect the phone which currently has the fastboot logo on to the computer but the button stays grey.
The following is what I have done;
I have installed adb tools. When the phone is booted and is connected to my computer I can see it via "adb devices" in CMD as admin. I can even send it to fastboot mode by "adb reboot fastboot"
I have installed the qualcomm drivers but I am unsure if they are the correct ones.
I have tried with different cables.
I have tried with different PCs.
The computer that I am using mainly to try and unlock the bootloader is a laptop and the specs are as follows;
Model: GP72 2QE Leopard Pro
Intel Core i7 5700HQ
16GB RAM
The other systems that I have tried are almost identifically specced both are AMD based on X570 Mobo and a Ryzen 7 3700X
There does seem to be a known problem with the Mi Unlock tool not being able to communicate properly with the system drivers. There are some tips for getting it working on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ol-cannot-detect-phone.3663139/#post-73566526
If that post doesn't solve the problem then try reading through the later posts in that thread.
Sorry for the late reply, I did the suggestion and it worked! Thank you for the help.
My goal was to flash the indonsian rom of the device onto and I had a bit of a problem last night I ended up sending it into a bootloop because the connection wasn't stable from the computer to the phone, I just woke up today and tried it again on a different computer and a brand new cable and the connection wasn't cutting out at all. I put it in fastboot and succesfulyl flashed it. I can't thank you enough for the help.
I just need to know if I need to close this thread or something now that my issue is complete. I'm new around here so I don't know if I shoudl do that.

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:

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
