I did, but I don´t know if they´re working.
Didn´t notice anything different in the device manager.
The first time I connected my device windows couldn´t install them, but it did not ask for them again.
How are them suposed to be installed?

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?

Win7?
Can you attach some screenshots of the device manager page?
Yes. You need to power off and connect the device holding up until led turns blue.

If I install the fastboot drivers through the flash tool should it work?

How?
Thanks!
think this is it
1. download flashtool and install
2. type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in cmd and restart PC
3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts
4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553484(v=vs.85).aspx
EDIT:
Also this might be handy if you are planning alot of adb usage
Got it!
Usb debugging was MST and not MCS... duh...
Unocked...
Recovery...
Rooted...
THANKS!
Hi all I have just bought my xz and I'm trying to root 4.3 but my computer won't see usb debugging the root tools just says device not connected even though I can browse through my address cards I have installed flashtool drivers and adb drivers that. Way because the prompt never popped up when I first connected my phone but still can't see usb debugging. Any ideas. Thanks
Unplug the device from the computer
Download latest adb, which is most likely outdated
Turn off USB debugging and turn on again
Connect it to the computer
Accept the key popup
Run adb
Google will help you more than me, as I did this from memory and used Google a few days ago with the same problem.

If your on windows 7 you can use the guide in post 2 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
If you using Windows 8.1 you can use the Driver hack I use
posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49131915
The file you use is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2500592&d=1389122072
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

if you are now certain that the connection between your PC and phone is now stable, do step "D) Recovery showing 'unable to mount /data' or 'internal storage'" to cleanly reformat your partitions.

Hey XDA.
For long i have been trying to get a custom ROM for my android, but to be able to do that, i need to unlock bootloarders for my device.
I have been trying for a couple of months now, and everytime i try, i hope that it will work this time... but i always end up quitting, because i always encounter some problem, i cant seem to resovle.
I was wondering if anyone would like to help me through, step by step, until it actually works.
This is what i have tried
- I have entered the system configurator, and it says yes to that my device can be unlocked.
- I have enabled all the developer options descirbed everywhere
- I have downloaded the Android SDK, with the google USB drivers.
- I have gotten my unlock-code from Sony
But everytime i try to follow the steps from Sony, I get an error when coming to install the drivers.
The tutorial says, that when i plug the usb-cable to my computer, i would be prompted to install some drivers... I dont, it automaticly installs something called "S1Boot Fastboot".
Then i enter my device-manager, finds the device, and updates drivers manually from my computer.
But when i point to the downloaded drivers, i get this error:
Windows found a driver-software for your device, but encountered an error while trying to install it.
Windows ADB Interface
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalogue file. The file is probably corrupt or has been tampered with.
The files i have downloaded are all those Sony told me to download, from the official distributors... I got no idea how to solve this issue!!
Can anybody please help to fix this issue, or guide me through another way that works?
I have given up trying...
Download flashtool, and instal drivers from his directory (flashtool and fastboot) drivers.
Also instal PC Companion, but restart pc after instal (PC Companion also installs drivers)
Also, you might turn of driver signature checking if you are on windows 8.1, google it.

I agree with this. I just did it the other day.
I'm using a Win 8.1 laptop and it was driving me mad. I followed the information regarding changing some of my start up settings on the laptop and flashtool installation of drivers worked. Follow this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913245&page=6
In my case i had Flashtool installed, but when i went to install the drivers for my z1 , the windows installer would always fail. After using the information on that page I Linked, it worked straight away!
Good luck .
Thanks alot!
Thank you very much guys, that was just what i missed!
Glad you finally got it!

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.

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]
