SEMC Flash Issue only when flashing

My PC and phone setup works as expected but gives error when booting in flash mode. PC Companion and other tools (Flashtools) can recognize device but holding back button while connecting to usb (when it is already OFF) makes "Device driver failed" error and makes yellow exclamation mark on device manager for "SEMC FLASH ...."
Win7 XP 64 Bit
Sony Experia X8
Latest PC Companion app.
What I tried:
- Disabled antivirus from beginning.
- Gordon's Gate Driver "ggsetup-2.2.0.10" and "ggsetup-2.2.0.11".
- Flashtools/Drivers/ "X8 ADB Driver"
- Another Win7 64 Bit Computer with disabled antivirus
It fails only when detecting the sim lock type with S1Tool. My phone led turns green as expected. I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693308

Now I get "Access Denied" error
I' ve copied "X8 ADB drivers" to somewhere and tried to update drivers by "Update Drivers" on device manager by choosing X8 ADB Drivers.
And now "S1 Tool" freezes or says
PLEASE ATTACH TURNED OFF PHONE NOW
llbug:[\\?\USB#VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE#5&30124de0&0&5#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}] open error: "Access is denied"
Elapsed:70 secs.
on the flashing screen.
I tried when AV is Off with no luck
I will try flashing in the safe mode as suggested on another post.
How to get X8 ADB Driver: When installing drivers from flashtool it will temporarily copy the driver files to "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\..." (ass seen on the install screen) . Copy the files from there before installation complete.

SuperOneClick
SuperOneClick was the correct way to unlock my bootloader. But know I can't install custom kernel. Because this time flashtool can't recognize my device in flash screen.
I will try with Flashtool 6.9.1 instead of 0.9

SuperOneClick won't unlock your BL, it will just root your phone...

Having trouble getting the drivers...

Hey everybody... I am trying to go back to 4.2.2 on my moto X.. There is a nice tutorial in this forum but I can't even install the drivers.. I have the latest "Motorola device manager" I have usb debugging enabled... but the device shows as XT1053 in device manager and won't install any drivers.. Does the device have to be in MTP mode or it does not matter ?
I tried reinstalling milion times nothing worked, tried on a different laptop as well nothing ...both running Windows 7/ 32bit
Any ideas ?

Try while connected to your PC switching from MTP to camera if that doesn't work. Try installing Motorola device manager while your device is connected to your PC. Also you might wanna try reboot to bootloaders. And run the Motorola device manager install while on boot loader.

[Q] Boot loop, no usb debug, no cmw

Hi all! like most I have joined with a problem
I Have an xperia SP-C5303
I successfully rooted the device with the Towelroot app, Then used the sony mobile flasher by Androxyde to flash cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my phone. This was all working fine.
I used CMW to install an update downloaded through cyanogenmod. When I rebooted the device it was stuck in a bootloop. The device connects top the computer in flash mode, but will not accept a flash because somehow "USB Debugging" is not enabled. It was obviously enabled before because I had already flashed the device.
ADB drivers are installed but to be honest Im a bit lost now. Does anyone have any ideas how to turn on usb debugging so that I can flash my phone again?

I can connect to sony mobile flasher in flash mode but flashing fails at the end with the program saying "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" how can I activate these when in a boot loop?

I would like to know if your Xperia SP has its bootloader unlocked?
The error most likely appear because you have no drivers for Xperia SP. Yes you might said that you installed it already but let's try again. Navigate to the Flashtool installation directory, which is C:\Flashtool by default. Then go into drivers folder and run the installer therein. Please tick fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers. Scroll down a bit and find Common drivers for Viskan board. Tick that as well and continue the driver installation.
After everything is completed. Close Flashtool and open in again (in case you've disabled UAC, please run Flashtool as an administrator). Then retry to flash a stock ROM's .ftf file.

[Q] Please help me, i'm giving up!! Nothing works!!

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!

Thanks, was able to install the drivers.
BUT, I followed the steps as shown in the linked post and followed the video instructions to use Flashtool. It showed "Device connected in flash mode" in the screen, but then when I turn it on, its not a fresh install and it still asks for pin (unlike in the video)
