Trying to unlock my Z3 compact bootloader and I'm stuck on trying to install the ADB Fastboot driver. I get the following error when I try to install through Device Manager:
"The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering."
I've tried searching the forums for info on this error but all I seem to find are posts from 2013 and earlier complaining about problems with Windows 8, and one suggestion to try turning off security checks for installing drivers which didn't work for me.
I'm using Windows 10, have downloaded and installed the latest Java SDK, Android SDK, and Google USB drivers, and I got the Fastboot driver from here on Sony's website. (Basically I've done everything this video describes up until the point the driver failed to install.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Edit: Solved - I'm an idiot and missed the instruction about rebooting after disabling security checks for drivers!

Getting my feet wet installing the android sdk and getting xml repository error messages trying to install into windows.
"Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings."
Nothing resembles the tutorial on the SDK setup. Have the contents unzipped and sitting in the folder. Is there another procedure for installing the usb drivers from the sdk? Would somebody mind posting alternative instructions?
*Edit*
Solved!
1) Forced the update by checkmarking "Force". Installed the preliminary files (USB drivers would not install).
2) Visited developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html & read about upgrading the USB drivers.
3) Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690362&highlight=installing+sdk and upgraded the USB drivers to version 3 (sdk).
4) Windows recognized the update and installed the USB drivers.
Was able to confirm the phones serial number with sdk!
I've searched and searched for a solution to this, nothing is working. Really need help guys.
Phone is on stock ICS rom, PC is Win8 Pro x64. All three files are in the folder, SDK is installed (x64 version), Google USB driver installed, Java for windows installed, and HTC Sync installed but not running.
When in FASTBOOT and USB connected it shows FASTBOOT USB. Device manager shows Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. Is this correct or should it show something else in device manager?
No matter what I've tried when running fastboot oem get_identifier_token in command prompt I get waiting for device. Also running fastboot devices returns nothing.
Don't know what else to try... Seems it doesn't recognize the device but it's in device manager.
Edit: have also tried different usb ports and I know the cable works.
Edite 2: I fixed it. Took me hours to get this working but for any one struggling like I was here is what I did.
Got rid of all the drivers and started back at Android 1.0 in device manager. Manually installed the official SDK google usb driver and selected Android Bootloader Interface for Android 1.0. Also boot the phone and manually install again and select Android ADB Interface.
Here is what really caused me problems. The HTC tutorial I looked at said to take adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and adbWinApi.dll and put them in their own folder. This absolutely does not work for me even now. I used the directory straight from the SDK (sdk\platform-tools) and added fastboot.exe from a previous sdk revision into that folder. Now everything works!!! Finally!

The Best Solution
this problem has also happened with me and i found a solution to this,
this usually happens if your system lacks fastboot drivers.
ADB drivers can only Run ADB shell so that is why you need to have fastboot drivers as well to use fastboot commands.
i think you must have tried this code:
"fastboot oem unlock"
then cmd may have got stuck on "waiting for device"
don't worry install drivers for fastboot then it should work.
google it then get it.
there is 15seconds ADB,fasdtboot installer available try that.
then give it another try.

Hi,
Current setup :
Xperia z1 C6903
Three UK
Version 4.4.4
Build 14.4.a.0.108
Rooted
Unlocked Bootloader
adb drivers installed (on xp)
Trying to install Cyanogen Mod.
Flash boot boot .img all worked fine and have CWM recovery screen up.
When I try to use either sideload or adb push I get the same error:
error: device not found
I've googled and searched here and seems to be a driver issue with adb?
I have android SDK (eclipse) and SDK platform tools installed
any thoughts please?

SOLVED adb driver problem xp device not found
OK, working using universal driver from
http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Absolutely no idea why XP stopped seeing the phone, and no attempt at driver/sdk updates worked, tried all the ADB drivers I could find including one above, nothing...
then changed usb post after i uninstalled the device from manager (for the 100th time) and ran the adb installer again. and tada there it was :/
hopefully link above might help someone on xp get adb connection working if they are having problems..
I just upgraded my computer with Windows 10. Everything seemed to work fine with upgrading but when I put my phone into fastboot,the prompt doesn't detect my device anymore (like it did with Windows 7)
Used :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
this...
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z1-c6902-c6903-c6906-c6943-driver/
and the Google USB driver from SDK tools but my PC still can't find my phone.
Flashing kernels won't help either.
Looked online but I can't seem to find an answer...any ideas to fix this?
you probably need to reinstall the drivers, you can use Flashtool-drivers.exe found in the flashtool/drivers folder.
but you also need to probably disable driver signature enforcement to install it, instructions can be found here:
