Need help with Bootloader unlocking using Flashtool - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want to unlock the x8's bootloader using the flashtool but when i connect the phone to the computer, i can't access the 'plugins'(usb debugging on and drivers are installed) what am i doing wrong?

I had the same problem when I downloaded flashtools for the first time.
Try reinstalling driver's by running Gordon's gate app in flashtools/drivers folder

In the case installed drivers not working :-
That also depending up on ur pc OS
In windows 7 it will notify instantly(don't disconnect suddenly)
But in XP it will show new hardware found just ignore by cancle
let the phone connected for some time(atleast 2min) after notify ready to use ,connect again
Everything works greate

I used the drivers linked by DooM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
And have no trouble charging or accessing the phone when USB Debug is enabled.
Scroll down where you read:
"download the fastboot package with usb drivers (alternate drivers if the ones in package dont work OR this)"
He gives 3 diffirent options to install the drivers, Iam sure one of these should also work for you.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Try this

If Windows os is refusing to install them, disable driver signature check.

[Q] Sony XPERIA SP C5303 not detected in Windows 7 or missing Drivers

Hi All,
I attached the Sony XPERIA Phone to Windows 7. But Windows is not recognizing the phone. I can see in device manager C5303 is missing drivers.
Can anyone suggest me from where I can download drivers, please ?
I had this problem.
I installed PC companion and sus then once these were installed I could connect phone, I was still missing a driver when I put phone in flash mode.
Installed flashtools search xda this has drivers.
If after this Google the driver that is missing
Pc Device manager shows why is missing.

No Flashmode on win xp even with drivers

Hey guys, I could use some.help from some experts, I've seen information about Windows 7+8 but that don't help me here.
I can go into fastboot mode without trouble at all, but if I try to go into flash mode, the led just flashes up red, then green, within a split second and the pc tells me that the usb device cannot be specified or detected.
Any idea? I've got all drivers installed and just don't know what to do anymore?!?
All I want to do is flash the new 4.2.2 ftf. File via flashtool
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?
Any softwares like SPC interfering with the connections? Is the device showing up in the Computer window? What does it say in the device manager once you connect and do you here the windows alert tone when you plug it in?

Download flashtool. Go to the drivers folder located inside the flashtool 's installation directory.
Keep your device disconnected.
During installation, scroll all the way down and select flashmode drivers.
Reboot the PC.
Then connect your phone once it's done.
When you connect your phone to the PC, what does it show up as in device manager?
If it says unknown, then right click on it and select the option to manually provide the driver. Then select the flashmode drivers.

Tried That, just shows an "unkown" driver without certification!
I've never had this issue before!
It always depends on the phone! Had the same problem with the Xperia play, didn't have it with the T and now got it again with the Z:what:

[Q] unable to connect xperia z in flashmode

Hi
I'm unable to connect my xperia z in flash mode.
it is detected in fast boot mode but when i connect it in flash mode the green light is shown for one second and then not.
i'm using windows 8 with flash tool 0.9.11.0 .
I have tried everything re installing drivers formatting windows and all .
please tell me what to do?
Follow this guide to setup Flashtool and drivers - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
There's a specific section on installing the drivers under Windows 8.
If you still can't get it to connect in Flashmode, try a different USB port or cable or even a different PC.

Run a driver check on flashtool in settings which will tell you if drivers are installed. There are a couple of links in my sig which you might want to read.

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 pro 64
When I installed Sony official application the driver for my cs5303 is fine in the adb mode
But when I try to connect the mobile in fastbootmode or flashmod the cpu won't recognize the device
I've tried flashtool & it's drivers but no luck
Can someone help me with fastbootmode & flashmod driver for Windows 8.1

Isn't there any one having these issues too
Please I need help

Press winkey+C>config>change config>general>Advanced Initicialization;
It'll reboot. then select "disable bla bla bla signatura driver.
Then install flashtool again and the drivers.
I don't remember all path, it's in somewhere in the forum. If you're in a hurry,you can search it. Otherwise, wait till I get home
**Just remembered now: winkey+c>change pc settings>general>advanced startup>restart now>troubleshoot>advanced options>startup setting>restart>press 7 and install flashtool and the drivers again. Shoul be work
I tried that the drivers installed successfully but whenever I connect the device with flash or fastboot mod I get this message

In Windows 8 I didn't get this message it's like Windows 8.1 isn't recognizing the device & my device is automatically rebooting if it was in fastbootmode or flashmod when I get this message

tried to connect in fastboot while in "disable driver signature enforcement mode"?
It happened to me, and I did it. Works here.
I think there is no way to get flashtool working on 8.1, that's why I'm still on 8. I wish I could "downgrade" my VAIO to Windows 7

I agree you but I don't want to downgrade to Win 8

got the same problems...
needed to use win7 (!) and an usb2.0 port to get it running...
In Windows 8 everything would work perfectly you don't have to downgrade to Windows 7

Same thing happening here, Flashmode and Fastboot drivers don't work on 8, had to use my laptop which is still on 8 to flash.
