how can i install the drivers? where are drivers files?

This is how you flash software on your phone:
1. Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
2. Connect a USB cable to your computer.
3. Phone: Turn off your phone.
4. Connect your phone to the USB cable while holding the flash key (for example Volume
down). The flash key varies between models.

i have done it first but same problem
is that worked by you (in windows 8)?

For PC companion, your phone doesn't need to be in flash mode, just connect it to your computer. Make sure you can install unsigned drivers in Win8.

Guys, the drivers need to be installed after disabling driver signature checking;
1. Hit Windows key + i
2. Navigate to the link on the bottom 'change pc settings'
3. Go to general, and scroll to the bottom and select 'restart now' at the bottom.
4. Hit troubleshoot, it will list what you can do (but you don't select an option yet).
5. Once the reboot happens, you will be prompted to select an option... select # 7 IIRC. (it will say disable driver signature)
6. Run driver install
7. Profit!

ADB Driver installation issues Windows 7

Hello,
I wanted to root my new Sony Xperia T and I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
However I needed to install the ADB drivers and I am having extreme difficulties in doing so. From my limited knowledge on the subject I guessed that the ADB drivers are installed when I plug my phone into my computer. When I plugged my phone in windows installed two drivers. When I then went into device manager to see if my phone was registered as an android device but it wasn't. It was instead listed as a portable device. I also tried running
Code:
adb devices
but this ended up with an empty list. Despite this my phone appears in My Computer and I can transfer files to and from it easily.
After looking on the internet for a while I found I needed a few things installed. So I removed the drivers, installed the Android SDK with SDK-tools and the Sony PC companion as well as turn my phone to USB debugging. I then retried windows installed the same two drivers and it again was listed as a portable device.
I looked up this issue and found suggestions to restart the SDK-tools ADB server, restart my phone, update drivers, unlock my phone and install PDaNet. These all ended with the same result. I also found a suggestion to update the drivers by going into the Android SDK and using the driver in there. This didn't work though as Windows said the current version of the driver is the most up to date. I tried various techniques suggested to get around this but I was unable to.
Any help on how to install these drivers is greatly appreciated. My phone is about a month old, unrooted, Sony Xperia T (LT30p). My computer runs Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
Thanks,
JamesStewy
(I may have forgotten some of the things I tried to get it to work yesterday so please suggest anything )

It was kind of nightmarish to get the phone recognized for me as well. I managed to solve it (after may trials and errors) by manually "updating" the phone drivers once it was connected with the ones in the pccompanion folder; specifically the ones called sa0105...

Is there another way of installing the driver? I also previously tried getting windows to not install the drivers when I plugged my phone in but nothing I could find on the internet worked.

Sorry for being a bit of a n00b but what is a flashtool and where do I get it? Also, same as previous, I can't find anyway of overriding drivers (I have gone through about three pages of google but can't find a solution that works for me).

Flashtool is THE tool for use with xperia devices. Look in the first thread of the development section.
It should be the first thing you download when you get an xperia device.
EDIT
No need to post your thanks. If you feel the need to express gratitude to anyone on xda just their thanks button

The way I did it was to plug the phone in, wait till the automatic driver installation failed, and then in the device manager I selected the phone and went thru the "update drivers" procedure. You must select the specific folder where that driver is, not the parent, or windows won't detect it. In my case that folder is named
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Sony PC Companion\Drivers\{2CD1390C-A74E-434A-B652-73D3683B3BEF}
which is quite a weird name; just look for the folder with sa0105* drivers inside, and that's the one.
By the way, I never had a "WPD composite device". This is how it is shown now in device manager:

I saw this method on the internet but the weird thing is is that the drivers install correctly, first time, every time. See attached pictures.

¿Could it be that you have two phones detected?, as my pc only shows "Xperia T", no trace of "LT30p"; and the adb driver is in a category of its own.

I have no idea. I only have one thing connected to my computer which is my phone. I don't have an adb, Sony or android node in device manager at all.
JamesStewy

I don't know what else to tell you then. You might try uninstalling the LT30p, and forcing the upgrade to the pccompanion drivers I talked about before. But this is a wild guess, I can't really help you any further.

It's your adb installation correct. Have your added it to the path in environment.
Do you have usb debugging on in settings on your phone.
What was the error when you installed the flash tool drivers
What dies flash tool say when you attach the phone whilst it is open.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.
I have never heard of this issue and just installing flash tool and/or pccompanion is enough to install all the drivers

I am not sure. Is the adb installation part of the Android SDK platform-tools? If so I think it is. I can use all the commands such as adb devices but this returns and empty list. And yes it is in my PATH environment variable.

Is the flash tool called EMMA or something? I downloaded it of Sony's site here: developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/. If so I can't get in because I am still waiting for a confirmation email.
As the post above says, you could uninstall all phone/Sony/adb software and drivers and re install them.

When I uninstall them and plug my phone back in the drivers on the phone install to my computer. Pictures attached. These drivers have nothing to do with ADB and only allow Windows to transfer files to my phone.

No, flashtool I'd found in the first post in the development section.
Please download it, install it, and ruin the driver.exe found in the driver folder of flashtool in the installation path.

Xperia T - adb problems
I also tried all sort of things until this:
- you must put your phone in Mass Storage mode, as default is MTP mode.
As simple as that.
On your phone (unpluged) - Settings / Xperia / USB Connectivity / USB Connection Mode - and select MASS Storage, not MTP. I did uncheck Install PC Companion. Plug USB back, put your phone in debugging mode - It work right away. No need to Update drivers, no need to change the android_winusb.inf. You may need to kill adb.exe before trying again adb devices.
That was it for me

Hi laplada27,
Thanks for your reply. When I get home today I will give that a go.
Thanks,
James

Installing drivers 8.1
I am trying currently to update my T, it has an unlocked bl that I did when I first got it in Dec 12.
I am running w8.1 64 bit.
Tried both mass storage mode & mtp mode.
I have the latest 64 bit version of flashtool installed.
I am trying to flash the 295 generic ce ftf android 4.3 update, no problems with the ftf itself.
The error flashtool spits out is that the drivers are not installed, either the adb or flashmode drivers.
I have repeatedly tried to install the drivers that come with flashtool, and it appears that they install, but
there are a few that won't, I think namely the above.
I note that when I have device manager open, it detects the T, when plugged in in flashmode (i.e. turned off, with volume down)
as an s1boot device. I have intercepted device manager several times when it does this, in order to try and update the drivers
by hand, but no luck.
When I first plugged the T in in flashmode mode, it installed some drivers automatically, however, not ones that will allow flashtool
to work.
In truth I am now scratching my head as to what to do next.
I never had any problems with w7 64 ultimate flashing the T, solid as a rock, all the drivers would install as required, and I am
thinking the easiest way to update my T would be to use a w7 based machine, however, if anyone has any more ideas as to
what might help me flash it using 8.1 then I would be very grateful to hear them.

I think there is a patch for Windows 8.1... Search the forum and you will find it.
Good luck!

Windows will install adb drivers automatically once the phone is connected (depending on what mode).
Give time and let the "Windows Device Manager" do the rest.
If you want to try to unlock bootloader, thats another story...

Try to let the Windows re-install the correct drivers.
Go to the Control Panel and open Device Manager (your device should be connected in charge mode only and debbuging ON),
you should see something like "ADB Interface" and "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface", right-click on it and choose "Update Software Driver"
(something like that, mine is in portuguese...). If it doesn't work, just uninstall it and "Search for Hardware Changes". Let Windows install it
from the Internet.
BTW, the driver location should be: "x:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\lgandnetadb.sys"

another way that maybe works but is more like a "pro" way , is to install to your pc the whole android sdk. this will search for drivers on its own and install them. it will install the latest google adb which is also working. if u dont make it to force the drivers in, let me know to show u link to the android sdk ( easy to find though ** if u end up to sdk careful to download the x32 version even if u are on x64 and double check that u have installed the latest java jdk also x32 even if u r on x64 ! )

i have sdk already, it dont matter which adb interface i want to add from google it always has the exclamation
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917.zip

in your case i cant help any more. i told you exactly what to do. next step is if i was there to do it myself. ill try make some images to show you how i installed the drivers but it will be in greek. button and everything are in same place, only language will be different.

I got mine working with the following steps, but I had it working on Win8 before updating to 8.1 so it may or may not work for you:
Right click the xt1058 option that shows it has a problem
Select update driver software
Select browse my computer
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Select ADB interface and hit next
Select Mot Composite ADB interface and click next
After that I was able to get it to connect with mtp, get fastboot responses, and use the adb commands again properly

It works like a charm!

TY SO MUCH, WAS LOOKING FOR FIX FOR HOURS. I didnt notice that option at the bottom im so stupid..

How to get MTP and PTP working
I know this is an old thread. But after an hour of research I figured out the real problem.
You simply can't install the MTP or PTP driver properly because you may have Windows 8.1 Pro N
N is a special version used in Europe where there is no media player and software around it installed to give 3rd party media players a chance.
Howerver, to solve the problem and get the phone found you have to install the device drivers AND the Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 .
I'm sorry. I would post the direct link to the microsoft download site. But I have never posted in this forum till now and so I'm not allowed to post outside links yet.
But if you copy & paste the following in google you'll be fine and find it in no time: Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1
After you have installed it and rebooted your system the drivers are found and you can see your phone (or camera) in the device manager.
Hope that helps some ppl.
