I need help! This is my first time I am doing this so I need all the help I could get!
I am planning to flash a custom kernel.(maybe later custom ROM,but for now only kernel) So, I know I have to unlock bootloader, install CMW and then flash. I see there are many tutorials so that will not be a problem(I hope) When I unlock bootloader I lose all my apps and data so I would like to backup it. I have TB but I am not quite sure how to operate it. Here is my explanation: I open TB, tick "Backup all user apps+system data", let it run and then what? Is there any folder on my phone that I should copy to my PC and then copy it back to my phone after I unlock bootloader? Question is, how do I backup and restore ALL of my data(apps,contacts,pictures,music,videos etc..)?
Second question is about ADB. I dont think I understand it fully. It says I have to have working and updated ADP and that is something I have to install. But I dont understand how to instal it. I got ADB in root folder for JB,someone told me that I could find it there. But how do I install it? In procedure for unlocking bootloader it says:"if you have the path to your adb defined" What does that mean? Question is, how do I install ADB and how do I use it for unlocking bootloader and flashing CMW,kernels etc..??
First part is ADB Driver

I followed the instructions and I think I already have those installed.. There was no yellow exclaimation signs, it recognized my phone as a portable device. Does this mean I have all drivers installed that are needed for unlocking bootloader?

you lose nothing by unlocking. unlocking means unlocking not wiping or reseting or formating.
adb is a mode you can enter the device. so the first time you do it , u need the adb fastboot files or the whole android sdk 32bit version. after that u can either enter adb mode from recovery option menu ,either again using adb fastboot.
the adb mode is a way to communicate with the phone using the pc. to do so , of course you need the pc to know when u enter adb mode. so for the pc to know that , just like with any device, it needs drivers. those are the adb drivers. u can either find the android drivers in the forum or download and install android sdk 32bit and inside the folder where you see the adb file ,create a cmd to easy open the cmd at that specific location.
you will need to bakup before you wipe or format all your data to install a new kernel + rom. if u only go for a kernel then u lose nothing, but u are not sure u will succeed in the first try , so .. backup them up to a cloud or external sd.
careful if u dont succeed with kernel , u will need lg support tool to restore the stock rom. if u go for a custom , u will just use same way in adb mode to install the rom.
edit: i dont know if u already have the drivers. open the cmd inside fastboot and write adb devices . if u see ur device then u r ok. try adb reboot bootloader and if it goes in adb mode then reboot and do the unlocking. dont forget the all in one toolkit. will help u now that u r a beginner in this.

I tryed to unlock with All in one tool.. I followed insructions, it started to do something on my phone and when I clicked "yes"(for unlocking) it said "download mode" and on my pc opened up a window that said found new hardwer and that I installed. I clicked cancel and in the bottom right corner of my pc it said "hardwer installation failed your device might not work properly". My phone just was stucked in "download mode". What now?

first thing to know , when u talk about a problem is to identify the problem and what the "machine" does. if u dont say that u followed this guide, you did that and now when u do that the machine does that... i cant say anything im not magician lol. so now whats the problem ? the phone is working and u just failed the unlocking ? u failed the kernel installation ? ?!??
u r slow extract adb , open cmd in there ( i dont know if mine works for u , because i created in linux, maybe u need to delete the cmd.exe and create new. )
open cmd there and write : adb reboot bootloader. it goes in adb mode ?!

:laugh: Ok,lets start again.. I downloaded All-in-one tool.. Opened it.. Connected my phone.. Press 2 for unlocking bootloader.. I was asked,on the phone, do I want to proceed with unlocking.. I clicked yes.. Red letters showed on the phone and they said "download mode".. At the same time, on my pc, window was opened that said "found new hardwer".. I clicked cancel and pop-up message appeared "hardwer installation canceled, your device might not work properly".. On the phone the read message was still there,nothing happened.. I took the battery out, turned my phone on and thats it. Nothing on the phone was lost but I didnt unlock bootloader.

if you dont find something or dont remember something then at least check out the complete folder before asking and you havent searched at all. i can say that because if you would have searched you would have come across this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17378137&postcount=1
and in that it is clearly written
" open the flashtool folder and open the drivers folder inside that. Double click on the .exe file inside and install your device's ADB driver (for W8 use the X8 ones) and the Flash mode drivers."

Did you tried this method :
Go to your flashtools installation directory for me :
C:\Flashtool
after that install drivers right here:
C:\Flashtool\driver
in installation tick the x8,fastboot,and flashmode buttons and install after that reboot if it isn'T work check your cable and disable antivurus it maybe ignoring the adb.exe GOOD LUCK and press thanx if i helped u

@IWRH
X8 does not need fastboot drivers. X8 does not have fastboot mode
If you get the message of flashing aborted then simply retry the flashing process..
My friend also getting flashing aborted on his xperia P everytime
wanna thank xda? here
mainly flashing aborts when we try to be oversmart and put the phone in flashmode and plug it in the PC..
So as for the flashing to happen normally just plug the phone into your pc normally and thed do whatever the application tells you to do..
Even if the flashing aborts then close the app and then retry again..

Tried the flashtool method... Device not found...
I don´t know if I´m getting the fastboot drivers right or not, the does turn blue when I connect it to the PC in fastboot mode...

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?

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

At the momment only CWM works and it rarley even works not to mention aroma installer SUCKS ****ING BALLS the 50th time I sideflash a rom and the phone restarts when the installer reaches 10%!
Unfortunately I don't know as in CWM, in TWRP there is such feature as ADB sideload , by means of it you will be able to load and flash the file saved on PC to phone.
And second one, you can connect your flash card with OTG-cable to phone.

dont worry, if you have a nandroid everything can be fixed.
First you need to check if your computer recognizes your phone, go into recovery, and then in command on your computer type "adb devices" and see if it shows your phone. If it does, youre fine and you just need to "adb push (nandroid name) /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/(nandroidname) and then you can flash it.
If it doesnt see your device, read on.
The reason your computer doesnt read your phone is normally a drivers issues. Heres what you can do to get your computer to notice your phone.
download the file from here and extract the whole FOLDER to your desktop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
1. boot into recovery
2. connect your phone to the computer
3. go to device manager, just search for it
4. In other devices, there should be something called android phone, open it, and choose update drivers
5. instead of letting the computer search for the drivers, choose the second option to choose your own
6. choose the folder, the whole folder, and your driver, and click install
Now your phone should be recognized by your computer, and you can go ahead and push the nandroid to your phone.

hey guys,
hopefully someone can help me, i'm trying to unlock my bootloader to install custom kernels.
here is when i think it goes wrong:
i'm using sony's official method but when i connect the phone in fastboot mode the computer doesn't ask for drivers like it should (says in instructions).
so i can't choose the modified driver that i've downloaded from the instructions.
thanks in advance!
you may already have it installed if you have installed flashtool.
I suggest deleting all sony/adb/phone applications on your computer, rebooting, and starting again

even after a fresh install of my computer i can't get it to work.
i searched on google and found out that there are some issues with windows 8.
but after following specific instructions on windows 8 it still isn't working.
then i took an old windows vista computer from the attic and tried it with that.
it atleast asks for drivers but when i get the option to select the drivers myself it instantly disappears because the phone only stays in fastboot for about 10 seconds.
only thing i can think of is installing XP on my old system but is it normal it stays in fastboot for only 10 seconds? then it switches to charging mode.
unlock bootloader allowed is yes!
Download and install flash tool.
Run drivers.exe from the install folder.
Choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
Then try again for unlocking

W8 is a known problem with drivers. That's why is was failing before. Vista or W7 should work fine.

in the mean time i've read somewhere to use flashtool indeed.
got the drivers installed on my w8 system with flashtool, now the phone stays in fastboot (blue light)
then my next problem :laugh:
Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your device is connected properly.
there is no fastboot.exe in the tools folder of sdk..
there is one in some folder of flashtool, can i use that one to complete the last point of the instruction?
Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK

That is from step 8.
Did you download the google bit of the sdk?
EDIT
You could try this as well
minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe - 2.12 MB

it took a while and some extra grey hair but it's done..
i guess... it restarts and the phone went back to stock.
first i'm going to watch LA Ink on tv and then going to try to restore my backup and flash a custom kernel.
many thanks for your help! we got it working!
:good:

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 sure that's the device, then uncheck "show compatible devices"
why don't you uninstall the driver, unplug phone, reboot PC, plug phone in, see what it gives then

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.
