Windows 8.1 fastboot drivers

Hey there,
After upgrading windows 8 to 8.1, I cannot get my phone into fastboot. It seems that previously installed drivers on W8 are now gone.
Any idea how to fix this?

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"

Have you tried the drivers from flashtool (Not the sony one, the one by androxyde here on xda)

You have to do it safe mode or something similar

OK, not sure what the issue is then, can you get access to a win7 machine? There are no issues with drivers on win7

Hi,

Anyone with a solution already?

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
gooogle wubi (windows ubuntu installer)

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.

Nice share brotha.
I want to make it work for x32 bit

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..

have u tried other USB port ?

Drivers installed properly?

Remove Sonymobile drivers and reinstall them.
This should do the trick. I also advice you to restore your device on a Windows 7 machine. I am unable to restore mine on my Windows 8.1 machine and I have to use the one from my sister to restore my device.

Sounds like you are using Windows 8/8,1
Try again on a Windows 7 machine.

Windows 8 and 8.1 have problematic drivers. I suggest you use windows 7 to flash a stock ftf
Sent from my C5303 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Ohhhhh is there any way to do it?
Or need to restore windows 7?!

There is a way. Download stock FTF, install flashtool on a Windows 7 device and restore.
Windows 8/8.1 got problems with the drivers. These problems cause connection issues with your Xperia SP and Flashtool

On flashtool official download site, go to FAQ, it has instruction on how to install drivers on Windows 8.
http://www.flashtool.net/disabledrivers.php
*However, I tried it myself, but wasn't able to get it to work. (most likely because of my AMD USB filter driver problem)
You can check it out and try.

Are you using Windows 8.1 64bit? if that is the case, I can help...I have a solution. but first I have to go back to my home. the main thing is you have to uninstall USB driver from Microsoft and install modified intel driver for this purpose...

YUp! But im not home!
I will be there for 20 days and i need phone -.-!

Alright lets do the following things:
- Remove Flashtool and its drivers
- Reboot pc
- Follow this to install Flashtool and the drivers correct: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087 (only the drivers required for Flashmode and Fastboot)
- Reboot again
- Connect phone in Flashmode (dont open flashtool) and let it install the drivers
- Reboot again
- Connect phone in Fastboot (dont open flashtool) and let it install the drivers
- Reboot (last time) again
- After reboot, open Flashtool and connect phone in flashmode (dont do anything) and wait a few minutes. Via the log of Flashtool you should be able to see if the phone is connected properly and if the phone stays connected
- Try to flash a Stock ROM and see what happends
If above fails then you can try to use compatible mode (flashtool.exe > Rightmouse button > Properties > Compatible mode > Windows 7)

[Q] Windows 8.1 Asus Laptop wont recognise HTC One when in fastboot

Hi guys, i'm in the process of trying to go back to stock on my HTC One,
when my HTC is not in bootloader mode my computer recognises the device perfectly, so does HTC sync manager (my htc sync manager is up to date) But when i enter fast boot so i can change some settings i get the error message saying usb device not recognised, also in device manager it says adb title which replaces my HTC One when i go into fastboot mode has a yellow error message above it,
I can't for the life of me update the adb driver either, won't work. When i'm in command prompt trying to change some settings also when im in fastboot it says waiting for device.
any help would be appreciated

This is a very known issue, Windows 8.1 USB drivers haves issues with fastboot. Use windows 7 or 8.0 and it will work perfectly. I know there is a solution for windows 8.1 using intel usb 3.0 ports (you might want to search google for this). If you can't have access to a win7/8.0 computer, use a linux live cd as suggested by tobesedated.

Windows 8.1 also works fine if your on hboot 1.55.000 and up
The GPE android 4.4 update also included a Dark hboot 1.54.000 that also works fine in windows 8.1.

Usb issues

Hi!
My One "connects" to my PC when it's booting (that sound), but after that it stays disconnected. While booting it's being recognized as an MTP device. Recovery has the same problem: Until recovery starts it's kinda connected, but when TWRP is started, even sideload doesn't work. And in the booloader the "device enumeration failed". The ROM is ARHD GE 6.1
Does some1 know solutions to those probs?

You definitely have a driver problem. Install the drivers from this thread, that should solve your problems.
Make sure to uninstall all currently installed drivers for your HTC One. For this go to the device manager on your pc. (windows + x, -> device manager)

You can find your drivers here.
Uninstall your present driver through the Control Panel then reboot your computer. Now install the new driver.

error 43 is a windows error. no amount of reinstalling drivers will work.
if your using a laptop, remove all USB devices, uninstall the drivers you are trying to fix, shut down the computer and remove the battery for 10 mins min.
if its a desktop, do the same thing, but pull out the kettle lead from the back, hit the power button a few times to drain the PSU caps.
restart the computer and plug in usb devices one at a time making sure they work properly.
re-install phone drivers, I recommend downloading HTC sync manager for the drivers (never had a problem with them) and then remove HTC sync.
failing that a windows re-install or driver cache cleaner is required or try a different computer.
