Don't know what's happening, but my windows 8.1 laptop refuses to recognize my xperia mini pro when in fastboot. Literally had no problem when flashing kernels in my old windows 7 laptop. Tried literally everything I can think of.
1. disable driver signature verification in win 8.1
2. install all drivers from flashtool (interestingly I do not see sk17i in the device list maybe that's the problem)
3.install drivers from pc companion (connects normally in media transfer, but not in fastboot)
4.installed andriod sdk
5.modified win_usb file with sony's version (my laptop doesn't prompt me to install drivers when I plug my mini pro in fastboot)
6. turned off mtp mode and turned on debugging.
Additional info: my mini pro is running pac man 4.3
What else am I'm missing? This is basically my last resort after hours of searching. I will be extremely grateful for any assistance.

No...
It installs drivers if the device already has the same included...
Fit is not plug-and-play, which means you need to install drivers manually...or install kies...
Whichever you prefer...

Dont go for KIES .... !! It's a crap ..

You don't have to use it if you don't want. Installing Kies means you're installing USB drivers, you don't have to start kies everytime when you connect ur phone through usb. I've installed kies but never used it. I use it HIGHLY OCCASIONALLY.
Yup kies is waste of mem (if u ask me ) for drivers go to sammobile website registr n check our phn specific drivers its just around 25mb file dats easy if u dnt want kies
I found it easier to install drivers kies then uninstall kies

hey i am using the usb cable of galaxy ace. is it the problem? but i think these cables can be used on both the devices.
I use the same cable on 2 different blackberry's, my nokia 5310 and c3, samsung monte, and acer liquid metal...
So I don't think that's the problem...
Have you tried using a different computer?
yes i have triedon different computers also.. but its not working there too.
Hi.
I had the problem too. I did this to connect my phone:
1. Go in DownloadMode. Now, the computer must install drivers, like odin.
2. If the installation finished, hold down the Powerbutton for 10 seconds. It'll restart, if nothing happens try to start with holding the powerbutton again.
3. Then, if the phone is started, your computer finds the phone!
I'm not responsible for any damages!!!!

My NEXUS 4 did not need such drivers! Even though any link for the so called drivers?
Which system are you using? Windows? Linux? Mac?
Was it working before?
To get help, you need to provide some details...

Try this: http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver
Or if you prefer the drivers provided by Google, use this - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Go to device manager click the option to see hidden drivers and delete the old adb driver then get a fresh driver like the ones that have been posted. I had a similar problem as well.
Hey guys,
I'm having a big issue with flashtool - even tough I installed all the bundled drivers, and have the latest version of Flashtool with the patch, whenever i try to flash my Z5, i get a message that tells me the drivers are missing for this device.
Where can I get these flashtool-specific drivers for my Z5, or is there some other issue? I've searched online and no one seemed to have had problems flashing their Z5.
Thanks
Drivers are in the flashtool folder
If you're on Windows 8 they're probably not installing properly, look at the faq on the flashtool download website

Thanks, but as I mentioned in the post, I HAVE installed all the drivers that came in with the flashtool. Still no luck.
I have the same problem, do you find a solution?
PC Companion installed? Drivers come packaged with this as well. Never had a problem flashing and I'm on Windows 10 64 bit fast ring.

Do you use only Sony PC companion bundled drivers and Flashtool works whitout his proprietary drivers? T
Be sure to disable "Driver signature verification" before installing the drivers (if you're using Windows 8.1 or 10), otherwise they won't install properly and Flashtool will report that the drivers aren't installed.
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Once it's done, you'll be able to install the drivers provided with Flashtool, and be able to flash your ROM

Just found that we can use the drivers from Sony Companion software. Power off the phone, hold volume down and connect the USB cable.
Start Sony companion software and click on Repair my Software. Drivers will be installed then.
Hi,
I've been trying to flash a non-carrier firmware for my new Xperia Z5 but have had 0 luck - every time I get to the point where I need to connect the Xperia Z5, flashtool tells me I need to install the drivers - I've installed the drivers from the Driver folder in flashtool, and other than that I have no idea what to do.
I never had such issues with the Z3.
Anyone else had this problem? Can you share how you got past it, or where you found this magical driver?
Thanks
Did the drivers actually install? Initially, I would get install failed in my windows 10 box because the drivers are unsigned.
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
I really can't remember if there was any kind of pop up when i first connected the Z5 to my pc. Is there a manual way to install it? I assume they were installed when I installed PC Companion.
The path is: *:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe
You need to deactivate drive signature enforcement by the way.
Do you have pc companion installed? It has the drivers needed.
When u connect your phone in flash mode the driver will install automatically.
By the way which windows do you have?
Well, I have pc companion installed and flashtool still says i have no drivers installed. Windows 10

Most probably you have to start windows in a mode that allows unsigned drivers installation.
Click restart button while holding shift key, choose troubleshoot, then advanced options, then startup settings and then press F7 (disable driver sign enforcement)
Edit: just to clarify a few things. You might have the Sony pc companion installed, make sure you connect at least once your device though and the connection works, such as have it backup your settings for instance.
Other than that, from flashtool's drivers only need to install the first 2 if I remember correctly, the android fastboot and the internal flashtool driver as well.

Hii there my device was working well and getting connected to pc in flash mode as well as fastboot mode before . Now i'm Able to connect my phone as mass storage but it is not recognized when I connect in flash mode or fastboot mode. I am using d2212 variant xperia e3 dual India. And my pc has Windows 7 home Basic. When I try to connect it as fastboot or flash mode it always shows somc flash device drivers installed sucessfully then it gives error that USB device not recognized or USB device you're trying to connect is mulfunctioned. I'm only facing issue while connecting as fastboot or flash mode.
I am using stock rom. And hybrid kernel. Please don't suggest sony pc companion cuz I don't have broadband So it wont Work I also downloaded sony drivers from developers.sony.com but still it is not helping. I also downloaded latest flashtool uninstall, re install flash tool still nothing helping
