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.

I'll try, just downloaded the sdk extracted it and run eclipse. Installed the usb driver in there and then copied the file. No fastboot in my tools folder though.

eclipse?
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.

Yeah it comes with a version of eclipse. I couldn't open the sdk manager from the extracted zip, had to do it via the include eclipse version. I installed the usb driver from there, v7.

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.

If you could viseo exactly what you are doing and upload it that would help....or at the minimum state the steps you have gone through and exactly how you did them.

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?

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

Hello all,
I have followed all tutorials out there to make my Xperia Z recognized in fastboot mode.
I am a developer, so the sdk is working, with all the adb stuff, I put the devices in fastboot mode with up volume button, and I tried to install the drivers provided on Sony website or on various xda thread but without success!
As you can see on attached screenshot, windows does not want to install the drivers.
Just as a note, I am not completely stupid and was able to select a directory (usb_drivers from sdk) where I placed the ini file.
Any idea on how I can fix this?
Download sony update service it has the drivers.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Just tried but still the same issue..
When Update service is running, I am able to use it (boot with down volume as requested by Update Service) but no fastboot (boot with up volume)
Have you tried drivers that come with flashtool (you need to tick them at install)

I installed flashtools from official Sony website : http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Same result:
^Just disable driver signature verification on your Windows 7/8.
I faced a similar issue on my W8 Desktop, disabling it did the trick for me!
I have had the same issue OP. Here is what you do:
Download and install flashtool.
Go to the flashtool directory and go into the drivers folder. After that you select the drivers you need
Personally I tick the bottom 3 and install. Windows will warn you about unverified drivers, but you click install drivers and it works.
I got this flashtool from xda. it should mostly work! let us know what happens

flashtools is fact called "emma" and does not have a driver folder.
Official Sony flashtool website said:
How to download and install the flash tool
The flash tool for Xperia™ is actually called Emma when you install it in this Beta version, and it runs on all Windows computers.
Default path in Windows 64 bit is: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma\”
Default path in Windows 32 bit is: “C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\”

Install the drivers again.
I've had the same problem in windows 8.1... Fastboot device cannot be recognized by the system, but i don't know why; the problem was "Error enumerating device id". If you see hardware id, it doesn't exists and the driver won't be found. I returned to windows 7.

Mind if you shared a way of doing that?
Installing the official sony flashtool with its drivers didn't help + every other way I tried (that worked when I had 8) also resulted in failure.
PS:When I connect it in fastboot, windows says that "drivers malfunctioned, unknown USB device"

load wubi (windows ubuntu installer) over the link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi
than install ubuntu, on harddrive C:// and reboot your Pc
Now you have a linux in your current system, you can remove ubuntu (linux) in Programms & feautures list in windows.
now reboot reboot the system and isntall in ubuntu fastboot.
you musst give in the terminal sudo apt-get fastboot
and now you can flash your bootloader in linux.
but you musst sudo bevor you type fastboot flash type sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
you say it is easy

im here.. me too facing the same weird problem.
in 8.1 os it worked at first but then it didnt recognizing my device. reinstalled the 8.1 os and tested and same result. worked at first then fu**ed up again.
hope someone will get ride of this prob in 8.1ois :/
Same..
Exactly the same problem here. On windows 8, no issue. After updating to 8.1, "Error enumerating device id". I've tried everything, but nothing.
I had my xperia without kernel, and I REALLY needed Fastboot, so I had to go to a W7 pc, and no issue then.
Ohh, and I can't disable driver verification on W8.1 . When i'm in advanced boot menu, I just can't press any key. The keyboard doesn't work, and I have to Hard Reboot. Any idea?
EDITED
This worked for me : http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
So now I can use fastboot/ flashmode, but only if I connect the phone to an usb 3.0 port. On 2.0 the issue is still there.

As I see the only way to get access to fastboot and flash mode is to use windows 8 or lower.
Here is the cause of our problem and there is no solution so far: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43.aspx
EDIT: I used the old XP machine of my parents to unlock the bootloader and everything worked fine
well w8.1 certainly cannot use fastboot if you plug it into USB 2.0 port..as microsoft has change it usb policies in w8.1, the only way to use fastboot in w8.1 is to plug into a USB 3.0 hub, and install your driver the same way before..
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]

Did you enable USB debug in the developer options?
