i didi it ..... tanQ

cant find a word to thank you enough, i am so grateful

I did everything and it didn't work
I'm on windows 8.1

Yap - in win 8.1 RTM - this trick didn't work - still "enumeration failed".

Anyone found a solution for Win 8.1 RTM ?

me to waiting for 8.1 otherwise have to go back to previous version

I need this for Win 8.1

i have revert back to 8. but just now saw a post in xda below. can someone try and post feedback here?
" I think I found a solution, at least for my case with a Rockusb device and windows 8.1:
It seems that there is a usb root hub driver for every usb connected device. after I connect mine and disable driver signature it says device not recognized, so I uninstall the corresponding "USB-Root-Hub" under "USB-Controller" in device manager. my corresponding "USB-Root-Hub" was, for some reason that I don't know, the 3rd one from the bottom. as soon as i deleted it, it recognized the device normally and I can use fastboot again with windows 8.1."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44288852&postcount=24

ok good new guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did install 8.1 and tried the method i have posted above. and it did work not the 3rd USB-Root-Hub worked for me but i did uninstall several and even mouse stared not working but then it did work. so i repeat what i did..
first thing after flash 8.1 was i went to disable driver signature . then went into device manage and turn off my phone and connect it. as usual message came "device not recognized," so i did uninstall the Usb controll. u can see triangular mark there. then uninstall USB-Root-Hub. i didn removed several then i install flashtools and then installed drivers inside flashtools. yeahhhhhhhhhh and all works now
try your self guys

I tried the above method.
Phone is connected in flashmode but not in fastboot.
Am I doing something wrong ? Is there any way to flash kernel in flashmode ?

u need fastboot to flash kernel. are u sure u installed fastboot drivers??

Yes , I installed flashmode and fastboot drivers , from drivers folder of flashtool directory. But , my phone is only recognized in flashmode , even if I connect it while pressing up volume button ( that is fastboot for xperia ray).

Well i know this is some confusing. anyway my phone is RAY too. after doing above mentioned method mine is working fine. by the way i did it in a fresh install of Win 8.1. and the first thing after install i did it to check if it work or not. so i dont know if u can do the same.
suggest you to try again. if u can post a screen pic of you device manager

When I connect my RAY , is always recognized as flashmode (SEMC flash device at device manager).
But in win 8 , there is a Sony Ericsson seehcri Control Device at device manager when in fastboot. So , I think that is the river i'm missing.

guyss help... i have successfully flashed the mobile.... but when i try to switch it on.. the red led blinks but the mobile doesnt start up... when i put it in charge, green light is on.. i tried powering on while charging still no luck...

[Q] alcatel one touch 906 ROM

Hi to all. I just recently rooted my alcatel one touch 906. Is there a compatible ROM for my device. Here is my device info, for reference.:
Model: alcatel one touch 906
Processor: Qualcomm msm7227
RAM: 512
Android 2.2.1
Build: fsr.1.3.6.0_t10.16
Thanks in advance. I hope you can help me..
thread updating..anyone?? thanks..
My Alcatel T906 (Martini ?) dead after reset factory
I search on net and found firmware for this
http://www.mediafire.com/?1phq58wf0z0t19n
(Recommend using on Windows XP)
# INSTALL DRIVER
1. Remove battery and connect phone with PC
2. Insert battery
3. PC will detect and request for driver (follow guide in BRCM_PC_USB_Driver folder)
4. Change COM port to 4 (at this step I don't know why this device disappears quickly, so you must open device manager windows and change as quick as this device appear, but maybe this strange issue lead to bug that I will refer at the end of this)
# FLASH
1. Remove battery and connect phone with PC
2. Run download_froyo_1_3_6.bat
3. Insert battery
At the end, I saw error message as below screen, but finally it shows "Program Android New Image suceed"

}
But I remove battery and insert again and power on and wait for more than 10 min. but phone only show "Join our Android"
Can anyone help?
I tried the procedures above. It is working. Actually this one is to unbrick/ firmware flash your alcatel ot-906. Although I didnt get the error message mentioned above because i think the issue was the usb driver was not installed correctly. Here is what i did:
1.download the file ot-906.rar. save and extract the file.
2.install the broadcom usb located in your extracted file named BRCM_PC_USB_Driver.
3.make sure your phone battery is charged atleast 50%, or it wont flash.
4.connect your cable to pc, not yet to phone. remove your battery, then insert it back then plug the usb. your phone should be datected by your pc as usb to serial device.
5.now open the batch file named download_froyo_1_3_6.bat.it will begin the flashing process. wait untill it says finished or success.
6.unplug the phone.remove the battery, insert again. power the phone on. now just wait 5-10 mins before you phone completely boots up.it takes sometime to boot because your phone still configures the software.
Now your phone should work fine.

You have to change the com port (set to com port 4). sorry i forgot to mention that step in my post. after you insert usb cable to pc, make sure you can immediately access the device manager because the comport will hide itself after 2-4 secs. to do this, you shoul open the device manager before conncting the usb cable to your pc.

jup. Turn off your phone. Press vol down + power (hope you have some custom recovery) and try to plug in to your computer.
Before that you could search in device manager for unknown devices...
I just use the Google Driver for everything, works fine

Confused
Hello,
I am confused on this part of the steps:
6. Press 2 Download
7. Once pressed connect the terminal to the pc "OFF"
I press download, on the step 7. does that mean connect the USB cable from the PC to the phone? What does it mean by "OFF"?
After I press Download and have the USB cable plugged into the phone with the phone on and unlocked nothing happens Please help!
(USB Debugging enabled, device is listed in adb devices, and I can access storage and SD card)
Install any drivers, okay?
Select only the recovery in flashtools. Tighten download. Then connect the phone off the usb. The flash will install the recovery. Then see if the recovery has been successfully installed. And install the root by recovery.
Drivers installed ok. I selected only recovery in flashtools, and clicked download, and then plugged in USB.
Should I use USB debugging?
Should I use "USB Storage" or "Media device (MTP)" or "Camera (PTP)"?
Thank you!

Got it!
I figured it out
Here's the steps I did:
1. Install ADB from here rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
2. Install drivers provided in the original post here.
3. Reboot PC.
4. Open command prompt with administrator privileges, and type: cd c:\adb
5. Then type: adb devices
6. Open flashtool provided in the original post here.
7. Select scatter file as described in the post here, and clicked download.
8. While flash tool is running the "download", plug in phone with USB cable and restart the phone and it will work, with an OK window at the end like described in the original post here.
9. Unplug the USB cable, reboot phone and hold volume up key as described in original post.
10. Install SuperSU as described in the original post here.
DONE!
Anyone try this successfully?
Thanks for the guide.
It worked for me smoothly, many thanks!
Connect your phone off via USB, after pressing download mode.

Nope, no impact on data.
Actually you don't see a difference except that root apps ask for permission (SuperSU pops up)
Btw: I just installed supersu via recovery, not busybox as described sometimes.
Sucessfully did it just yesterday.
Bluboo Xtouch doesn`t turn on after trying root
Hi,
After I've tried to root nothing happened on the flashing tool, so I've tried pressing volume up + power button and my pc just did a sound of plugin a cable and nothing happened in my phone, so I've tried to turn my phone on and it didn't work. I've tried pressing a lot of combinations trying to turn it on with no success. Can someone help me? I don't know what to do anymore since my battery is no removable.
Don't work
I try to flash TWRP and to root but after pressing download button and connect phone, nothing happen.
(adb drivers are OK).
Edit : Procedure available with last rom (Jan 12th 2016) ?
Some help ?
/system/xbin/su how to remove this
Hi
I'm trying to install a enterprise app but during the install I got a "policy violation", because my device is considered rooted, since under /system/xbin there is a "su" file.
I already did a upgrade to last version from (room) Jan 12th 2016, but the /system/xbin/su persists... I think this is because it is a maufacturer built room from Bluboo but the true is I'm unbale to install the enterprise app. I already try to delete / rename/ move the su file, but I don't have permissions...
I don't want to root the device.... maybe install an official "android 5.1" but I'm afraid to do it, and I don't know how to do it...
so anybody have a suggestion how to fix this issue ?
Many thanks

I want to flash 41.3.A.2.58 with flashtool. If I use old version of flashtool v0.9.23.2, I can connect my phone flash mode, but I can't flash last oreo update from Sony I get "NULL" error.. If I use newest version of flashtool 0.9.24.2, The FW was preparing to flash but my phone doesn't connect with flash mode so this time I get this "ERROR - Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old". I installed driver which is in the folder of newest Flashtool.I didn't understand what I did wrong. I am using Flashtool many years but I can't solve this problem. Please check the pictures.

There is an update for flashtool. I suggest you update and try again

Oh nevermind I now see your second screenshot is from the latest version.
Have you tried reinstalling drivers?
And have you tried redownloading the firmware or a different firmware maybe?

Bro I tried to install again and again Flashtool and drivers. But no luck...
Best to use flashtool version 0.9.24.2 to flash version 41.3.A.2.24_R3E(or equivalent) and then wait for an OTA to the latest version (41.3.A.2.58).

I have unlocked bootloader So I think I can't use OTA update
boot ur phone in to download (flash) mode, go to device manager, expand universal serial bus controllers, then find somc device. "uninstall" delete the driver software. than unplug usb and repeat againg, boot into flashmode (not need flashtool any time) go into device manager, expand universal s b c, look for somc devices, or "semc device" if find delete again, if u see in un/recognized "android" u are done. now go to drivers from flashtool and install flashmode... i was installed flashmode and fastboot. while u installing that drivers look at "Android" now is again "somc device" and already version like a last flashmode driver. but different now is, now u can flash ur phone with latest flashtool by "ANDROXYDE" sorry about bad english, but i hope u understand me.
As G-Un1t say, start in flash mode and unistall all "semc" devices, and do that until u get the "semc" unrecognized, then disconnect, reinstall the flashmode and fastboot drivers again and then once again connect in flash mode.
Works for me on triying upgrade a Sony C5 Ultra(for latin america) From Lollipop to Mashmallow.
U have to repeatedly uninstall the SOMC devices, then SEMC devices till you see an "Android Driver" with a yellow ? mark..... Your are good to go after that...... thanks G-UN1T
Try this one
1. Download the relevant driver package from developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/. Make a note of the package folder name and of where you unzip the files.
2. Open Device Manager. You can do this by clicking Start, and then typing device manager. Then click Device Manager.
3. In Device Manager, right-click the name of your computer at the top of the device list, then click Add legacy hardware.
4. In the Welcome to the Add Hardware Wizard dialog, click Next.
5. Select the Install the hardware that I manually select from a list option, and then click Next.
6. Highlight Show All Devices and click Next.
7. Click Have Disk....
8. In the Install From Disk dialog, click Browse, and then find (see your note from step 1) and select the driver file ending with adb (written as xxxxxadb, where xxxxxx is the unique file name). Click Open.
9. In the Install From Disk dialog, click OK.
10. Highlight the Sony xxxxxx ADB Interface Driver file, then click Next twice. The installation starts.
11. Click Finish and then restart your computer.
hope this one help you guys
on this thread i finally found my problem solver for Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old, thank you
i just deleted SEMC driver on Device Manager of my 7-64bit, install driver from the folder of Flashtool,
Checklist Fastboot, Flashmode Drivers, and also Xperia Z3+ drivers, followed the instruction about 2012 method, and its worked
mine is E6553 Single...almost lost hope and thinking about suicide.
solved my undetected Sim Card problem too, after trying many Custom ROMs without any luck..
but some problem of noise sounds like sound of mouse while accessed internet or transmitted data was still unsolved
im using this one..E6553_32.3.A.0.372_R3D_Customized RU_1295-0592.ftf
all Nougat custom roms that i found cannot solved my undetected simcard was RR, and LA
now im going to put TWRP and root this one...
btw, i found that this Stock Rom made my Z3+ coolest that any Nougat Custom Roms, is so conform like never before
I had similar issue last week, turns out the cable was connected to the usb3 port on my laptop. once I plug it into usb2 port then it was fine.

Hi dear friends. I have a interesting problem with Flashtool and Sony's last OREO update.
I want to flash 41.3.A.2.58 with flashtool. If I use old version of flashtool v0.9.23.2, I can connect my phone flash mode, but I can't flash last oreo update from Sony I get "NULL" error.. If I use newest version of flashtool 0.9.24.2, The FW was preparing to flash but my phone doesn't connect with flash mode so this time I get this "ERROR - Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old". I installed driver which is in the folder of newest Flashtool.I didn't understand what I did wrong. I am using Flashtool many years but I can't solve this problem. Please check the pictures.

I have the same issue! ERROR - Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old.
Flashtool old drivers fix
I had the same problem with latest flashtool tool 0.9.24.4 but was fixed. Just go to Sony developer page and download and install Sony flash tool (emma), as simple as that and that error is gone
https://developers.sony.com/file/download/flash-tool-for-experia-devices/
Same problem (ERROR - Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old) with flashtool-0.9.24.2, I will try flashtool-0.9.24.4 today.
Thanks.
Hi, I had the same issue. I solved it by plugging into a USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0. I 'm not sure why but this is what works for me all the time. Hope it works for someone too.

OnePlus 8 T-Mobile Conversion Problem

Hi all,
I am trying to convert my T-Mobile IN2017 OnePlus 8 to have a global rom. I am currently on 10.5.7.IN55CB and I am following this tutorial here. My bootloader is unlocked (by using the official binaries I got emailed from OnePlus). My PC has driver signature verification off and is in test mode. It seems that my installer is stuck at this point:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
because the driver is not installed for recovery I think:
I have tried installing/reinstalling the OnePlus drivers to no avail. The installer runs perfectly fine while in fastboot mode, but does not work once rebooted into recovery. If someone can send me the driver or show what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated!

See my post here:

You're having the same issue I had. You need to install the fastboot drivers while it's connected in that state from your screenshot. Grab the drivers from Foxy Drew's post (linked in mine above), run the installer until it hangs, then update the drivers on the PC. When I did this the flash-all installer immediately kicked back into gear and finished the process.
The problem, I, think, is that you need to install adb drivers and fastboot drivers while the phone is in 3 different boot modes: normal, fastboot/recovery, and bootloader. So you need to get the phone to be recognized in all of those states so you can apply the drivers to the device the PC "sees" when it's connected in each of those states. Every boot mode basically presents itself as a different device to the PC, and that 3rd fastboot mode is hidden until you get to the spot you show in your screenshot.
Hope that works for you.

Thank you so much for your help! I was actually able to get it to work by doing something really similar. I'll post what I did just in case someone runs into this exact issue:
1) I made sure that I had all the drivers installed
2) I did the entire process over again until I got to that part where my device was no longer recognized
3) I went into device manager > IN2017 > update driver > drivers installed on this pc > chose from a list > Android phone > Android bootloader interface
I did this all while the converter was running and my phone was plugged into my pc. Once I did this, the program continued and I was able to finish the install.

Yep, I think that's exactly what I did. I can't remember which fastboot drivers I updated to bit I'll bet they're both the same, and that's the point in the process where I updated drivers as well.
Cheers!
