I'm following the instructions from the Sony site about unlocking the bootloader and when I hold the fastboot button and plug the phone in, I get no option to tell it where the driver is. This means the driver fails, any idea how to get around this?
I'm on win 7.

Does the computer make any noise? the usual "D Ding" that a computer makers when you insert a usb device? Also, does the LED turn blue when you plug it in?
And you are using the volume up button?

Yeah it made the ding and the first time showed that drivers failed to install, after that just the noises.
It does turn blue, then just shows the battery charge screen.

Then unistall everything and start again. Make sure you get the correct driver from the site and put it in the correct folder for the sdk.

Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.

I would ensure you unistall all adb, sdk and android related stuff.
Follow the instructions to install the sdk letter by letter. Make sure its in your root directory and that you run the sdk manager to install the latest google drivers..
Or see if you can borrow another machine to do it on.
Finally, try connecting in fastboot again and going to device manager and seeing if anything has a yellow exclamation mark or any devices are unrecognised...
When i download and extract the sdk i have an eclipse folder which I run to get the SDK and the install the driver and plug in the phone. I get a ding and then another as if it's unplugged. A bit stuck.

I have sorted it I think with info from this post.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/57427-having-problems-connecting-to-fastboot-under-windows-7-64/
That worked and then I plugged the phone in again using fastboot and it picked it up and unlocked the bootloader.
Thanks for looking at this for me, it looks like it's a 64 bit windows problem.
Turned phone on ready to copy rom files over and the phone has reset to factory after unlocking bootloader, is that normal?
Yes, in the instructions for unlocking the bootloader it says that will happen

That's the problem. Windows can't install them just when you connect the phone, you need to install them manually.
When you downloaded the Unlock Bootloader tool, there was a folder or a zip with the drivers. If it is a zip, extract it.
Connect the phone leaving up arrow pressed, the led will turn blue.
Go to device manager on the pc, look for Fastboot or something like that.
Select browse my computer for driver software and select the divers folder. It should install them right away.
Now you have the fastboot drivers installed and you can continue with the procedure.
Edit: You already have the KEY from Sony?

3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts
4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC

I do have my drivers updated and installed (no HTC Sync).
I have sdk-tools and everything as well.
here's what i noticed:
So when I have my phone at the bootloader plugged into my USB, it won't say fastboot unless I press the volume up or down keys and as soon as i do then it says "FASTBOOT USB".
On the computer however, it just says "<Waiting for device>" forever. weird
Any ideas guys?

I have a couple ideas, not sure if any work.
1) test with the phone in android to see if HTC Sync recognizes the phone
2) Re-download fastboot and re extract it to make sure it's not that
3) Boot into twrp and see if it recognizes adb commands. This one won't fix it, but I'm just wondering if could possibly be a problem with the phone not recognizing while not in system
4) Use adb to reboot to bootloader instead of using the apm or holding down volume. "adb reboot bootloader"

hey guys,
hopefully someone can help me, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader to install custom kernels.
here is when i think it goes wrong:
i'm using sony's official method but when i connect the phone in fastboot mode the computer doesn't ask for drivers like it should (says in instructions).
so i can't choose the modified driver that i've downloaded from the instructions.
thanks in advance!
you may already have it installed if you have installed flashtool.
I suggest deleting all sony/adb/phone applications on your computer, rebooting, and starting again

even after a fresh install of my computer i can't get it to work.
i searched on google and found out that there are some issues with windows 8.
but after following specific instructions on windows 8 it still isn't working.
then i took an old windows vista computer from the attic and tried it with that.
it atleast asks for drivers but when i get the option to select the drivers myself it instantly disappears because the phone only stays in fastboot for about 10 seconds.
only thing i can think of is installing XP on my old system but is it normal it stays in fastboot for only 10 seconds? then it switches to charging mode.
unlock bootloader allowed is yes!
Download and install flash tool.
Run drivers.exe from the install folder.
Choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
Then try again for unlocking

Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your device is connected properly.
there is no fastboot.exe in the tools folder of sdk..
there is one in some folder of flashtool, can i use that one to complete the last point of the instruction?

Hi Guys,
I currently have an Hong kongese version of our beloved xz1 compact but unfortunately the updates are painfully slow and i would like to change firmware with the tools posted on this forum.
I would like to change into a German one which seems to be one of the very first to receive updates.
I have a concern and a pair of questions for ya'll :
1. If i change the firmware to a region that far and different from the one i have already, will i have different data signal and possibly lower or much lower?
I ask this because i previously had the X compact and i tried to do the same and my signal was no where as consistent and full as with the original Firmware.
2. Is there a way to change to another firmware but maintain the modem settings or files or whatever to have the same signal strenght of the original Firmware ?
thanks fellas and i apologise for mistakes since Eng isn't my native language. I come from Pizza Land
[OT] I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but I have to say that your written English is better than that of most of my fellow Americans!
You should be able to flash almost any firmware version, I don't think there are different modem drivers for each region any more. I have tried several regions of firmware here in the UK and none have effected signal reception or strength.
You will need ADB drivers for the phone and beware if you've used your laptop/workstation for another model of phone as sometime this can interfere.
Start with Xperiafirm and download the most recent firmware build, which as I type is UK customised.
Download newflasher and unpack it into the same folder as the firmware.
Delete userdataXXX.sin
Turn off phone, plug it in, start newflasher, type 'n' to the first two questions.
This should get you the latest build phone with your data intact

From my past experience, the Customized NOBA region is usually among the first wave (if not the first) to receive new firmware. If you're betting on consistent bleeding edge updates, I'd go all in with NOBA.

This is the most complete answer I could ever receive.
Unfortunately , I have had another problem.
I downloaded the ADB Drivers but I can't install them.
When the phone is on (I activated USB debugging as well) I can get ADB to work on my Computer.
I run the CMD Shell and input "adb devices" and the smartphone is recognised automatically, however when I switch off the xz1c and press volume down and plug it to the PC to activate the "FLASH MODE", the phone isn't recognised at all.
I went to "Device Manager" and saw "Android" with a yellow exclamation point next to it so I clicked and selected Update Drivers.
I chose the folder where I unzipped the one you asked me to download and selected the subfolders.
Once proceeded, I got a negative response from Windows saying that" Windows could not find the drivers for your device".
So I am stuck here and I can't use newflasher at all.

You could download and install flashtool. Although you cannot use flashtool to flash your XZ1c, once it's installed there is a 'Drivers' folder in it, inside that is a very handy .exe that installs all the drivers you need for flashing and ADB.
Otherwise a quick search found this
Edit: I don't think you have to hold the volume down to use newflasher. All I did was turn the phone off, plug it in, start newflasher.

If you are using Windows 10 then the drivers won't have installed properly.
You need to hold 'shift' while restarting the machine. Then when it starts in safe mode, look for 'disable driver signatures' or something like that, in the advanced menu.
Then try installing the drivers again.

If you open device manager on the PC and then open up USB devices, you should see the phone listed, with a warning.
Update the drivers in the USB section with the ones you downloaded from Sony, just point to the unpacked folder, you don't need to open any of the folders, it should work with the sa0117adb.inf file.
This is while your phone is turned off and connected, not turned on.

Update the drivers in the USB section with the ones you downloaded from Sony, just point to the unpacked folder, you don't need to open any of the folders, it should work with the sa0117adb.inf file.
This is while your phone is turned off and connected, not turned on.

I read the guide but these steps are exactly the ones I followed already.
I'm very unlucky.
Probably something I did in the past or my OS doesn't allow me to do what I wanna do.
I try the last option with my wife's laptop with Windows 7.
If it doesn't work, I'll wait for the update to come naturally which will probably take some months [emoji854]

Did you enable USB debug in the developer options?
Hi guys,
I need to unroot my RP2 to send it in for repair, but I can't for the life of me get my fastboot drivers working in Windows 10 2004. I've tried various versions of the stock Google USB drivers (bootloader, of course), but the phone still shows up as "Android" in "Other devices".
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, fellas.

Try Samsung USB Drivers. Sometimes theirs work when Google's doesn't.

I downloaded their driver pack, but couldn't find any Android-specific ones. Any idea which one would work?

The issue is with the newest version of windows. I haven't tried the Samsung drivers. What worked for me was making a live usb install of FWUL. Then I could boot from the USB and everything worked.
I have Windows 10 Ver 20H2 installed and can confirm I have gotten ADB and Fastboot drivers WORKING, following the original installation instructions from Razer. It's not very clear, but be SURE to EXTRACT the files AFTER downloading from Razer. Follow the instructions CAREFULLY. I can't tell you how many times I've had to go back and re-read the directions to get it right. I went so far as to reinstall Windows 10 v.1909 on an external drive and issued commands that way, as a work around. Today, I decided to take a chance, and got everything working again.

What errors are you seeing? No communication in fastboot mode? If so, your driver is not properly installed. Your phone MUST be in fastboot mode when installing the driver. If your phone is booted up, you;ll only be able to install the ADB driver.
Additionally, I should have gone back and edited this post. The issue I was facing "back then" was that I didn't follow the driver installation directions EXACTLY. It's a bit confusing, but if you follow it step-by-step, it'll get you there. Also DO NOT use a USB C to C cable or a USB-C port. USB-A 3.0 or slower is a must with this phone. Fastboot mode is VERY picky about which USB protocol and cable you use. Recently found this out with my Surface Pro7 and had to use a regular usb a-c cable going through a 4-port hub to communicate properly and get the correct fastboot driver to install.
so i turn off the phone. plug in to the pc, power on then volume down. i downloaded the drivers from the link, but if i trie to install the drivers(browse in the folder where thr driver is) windows says there are no drivers found for this device.

Open "device manager" with the phone in fastboot mode. Scroll down to "other devices" and you should see "Android" or something of that nature. Right click it and select "update driver" follow the steps on PG 3 of the PDF I sent you and follow them exactly. NOTE where it says to click "Have Disk". Most people click "Android Bootloader Interface" then click "NEXT" at the bottom, DON'T do that. You must click "Have Disk" and then follow the prompts that follow.
Also, did you make sure to set your "environment variables" in "windows adv. system settings? This is so windows knows where to find adb.exe and fastboot.exe to execute commands.

I'm having the same issue with my Sony Pro-I (just here scrounging the webs for clues in other forums)
Got adb to work but windows refuses to recognise my sony driver folder as a valid driver for the device. Did you get past this point or give up? If you solved the issue, what helped?

Okay, simple mistake. Just had to follow the installation instructions more carefully, and not click "next" here, but go to a device list. I think this is where some of us think they know what they're doing and click forward

this didn't work for me
i tried on multiple windows 10 computers and mine just won't recognize, the driver just doesn't work. i tried on linux and i was able to get fastboot devices to recognize phone but when flashing, it just gets stuck on "sending boot", any ideas?
