Sony Xperia M2 (D2303) NEED FLASTOOL DRIVERS - Sony Xperia M2

I've a big problem with flashtool. I want to flash a rom (sony official 4.3) with flashtool, but when i plug on my phone it says that: The drivers need to be installed, and i can found it in the drivers folder.
I go there and open the drivers.exe and i don't found Xperia M2 in the list.
Then I install all of them and try to flash the rom but it says the same. Please help me I NEED THE DRIVERS. :crying:
(Sorry for my bad english)

First of all are you using windows 8 or 7? If on 8/8.1 you need to disable driver signature enforcement. Second, there is driverpack provided with the flashtool in separate folder, install them. Install the following drivers: Fastboot, Flashmode and every driver that starts with Common (Common Blue 1.0, Blue 3.0 etc.). Also you can download PC Companion which automatically installs the drivers for your phone.

I use win 8.1. I do it all but i get the same message.

Yesterday I try to flash it on Win 7 but it was the same

The phone is detected but somethings wrong with the flash drivers. Do you hold the volume down button for a long time or press another button along with it?

I press the volume down and the power button at the same time.

That's the problem. Press the volume down and while pressed, plug it in PC. It should blink green and leave it to flash the firmware

had the same problem with my Xperia e even with the fastboot mode selected in the flashtool.
uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the drivers helped.
Also for some strange reason if mouse was plugged in the laptop, it didn't work too. Hope this helps.

Hm...
Try connecting the pone to the USB cable holding vol+ and in the same moment u connect the phone press power button (just click it, don't hold it more than 1 second)
boot it in system if you can and reboot it from flashtool? -> select fastboot and then reboot to fastboot via adb

yes i want fastboot and i pressed vol+
If your bootloader is not unlockable,
Then your device will not allow fastboot.. Fastboot can be accessed only by devices with unlockable bootloader.. Verify if you can unlock your bootloader..

flashtool need proper driver especially for windows 8 to detect Xperia L (google it for installing driver for windows 8)
just flash tft using flashmode, then plug usb device and press power + volume down
yes, but i can't put it in flasmode because i have the volume's buttons broken.
there is another method for put it in flashmode?

HELP! Xperia C Stuck on Sony Logo
Hello guys, can you help me fix my Sony Xperia C 2305 stuck in Sony Logo.
I'd already tried the Sony Companion but in the middle of installation it stopped.
What should i do?? Please! Thank you!
Sony Xperia C Unbrick
Hi... I came across this problem recently while installing CWM using MobileUncle Tools without changing the Boot-version. If your Boot-version is not supported, then you need to first convert it to the suitable Boot-version. There is a seperate Xperia C XDA thread on install CWM on both the Boot-versions. Now in your case, you have flashed a wrong recovery which has bricked your device.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to un-brick your Xperia C. This worked for me. Hope it works for you too...
1. Firstly, remove the back-cover of your Xperia C and remove any sim or memory card, if connected.
2. Now, search for a small hole with "RESET" written below it.
3. Use a pen to press it. Hold it there for a minute. Then leave it and put the back cover back.
4. Charge your device for about 10 minutes.
5. If you do not follow the above steps, you won't be able to repair your device through PC Companion.(The update stops showing "Download error or error 1200). This is because your device still has MobileUncle Tools and unsupported Recovery image installed in it which does not allow the stock Recovery to be installed. When you reset by following the above method, only the stock apps are left in the device, deleting every other app.
6. Now download and install the latest Sony PC Companion from the official site, to your PC.
7. Open the PCC and click start in support zone. Let PCC download and install the required files.
8. In the next menu, select the software update option. Instead of clicking on install, select "Repair" device which is highlighted in blue.
9. Follow the steps until PCC starts to prepare your PC for software update.
10. In the device selection menu, select Sony Xperia C C2305 and click next.
11. When the next menu appears, disconnect any USB or multimedia drives attached to the PC. Now, first connect your original Sony USB cabel to the PC. Then, turn off your device(If the device is not turning off i.e. switching on after connecting the USB cable, read the instructions given at the end). Wait for five second. Press and hold volume down button of your device and connect the USB cable to your device. A green led appears on your device if the device is connected properly.
Note: If a continous red led appears instead of green, do not worry. Keep the device connected to PC intact for about 5 to 10 minutes. It will turn green. This is because, bricked devices take some time to be recognised.
12. Now the update process starts. If all the above steps are performed correctly, then surely the Device Software Update process completes without any errors or stopping in between.
13. Then click finish in the last menu after Device Software Update Completes.
14.Disconnect Xperia C from PC and press the Power button.
15. Xperia C boots up. Do not worry if your screen isn't the way it should be(e.g. whitish at the edges and the Sony Wave logo lagging). As this is the first boot-up after software update it takes sometime to recover to it's earlier charm. After about a minute or two, your device will be perfectly all right.
Note: The first boot-up takes some time(about 5 to 7 minutes).
16. So, this is it. You will have your Sony Xperia C perfectly working if you follow the above steps cautiously.
Hint for step no. 11: Follow this only if your device turns on after connecting the USB cable:
1. First, let the USB cable be connected the PC.
2. Force switch off your device by pressing Power + volume up buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds when it is stuck at Sony logo.
3. When the device turns off, immediately leave the two buttons and press and hold volume down button and connect the USB cable to the device, before the device turns on.
4. Now your device would be properly connected and the green led appears.
Hope this helps you. If you have any other queries regarding the same, please do inform.

It's so easy to fix it.:thumbup:
You've entered in something called "bootloop".
Now how we can fix an xperia device from bootloop.
What do we need:

Now follow these steps and they will bring your phone to the safe:
1,turn off your device and keep it off and don't forget to charge it well before this process.
2,Replace the stock firmware.ftf to firmware folder in the flashtool folder in the place you installed in (usually in c:\\flashtool\firmwares)
3,Now open flashtool and click the flash icon then select flashmode then OK.
4,Now select your firmware from the list and if you don't want to lose your data just uncheck the box of wipe data in the top right corner.
5,click on "flash" and wait because it's preparing.
6,Then after this it will show you a window request to press the back bottom (the volume down bottom)
And connect your device, do it and Keep pressing until the window disappear.
7,Now the tool is flashing your phone DON'T touch the cable until it's finished.
8,when it's finished wait for 10 sec and unplug your device.
9,Now wait for about one min if it doesn't turn on automatically turn on it will about 3min to boot wait and don't worry.
Congratulations your phone is well know.

Flashmode

Hi,
I have tried booting into flashmode > 20 times now, but can't get it to work.
I am doing the following:
- Disconnect USB-Cable
- Poweroff Phone
- Press Volume Down Button
- Connect USB-Cable
Now the LED blinds red/green very quickly, but then the phone just boots normally, beginning with the white screen with the Sony Logo and the Xperia Logo. If I keep holding the Volume Down Button, it boots into safe mode.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong going into flashmode? Is there another way to get into flashmode?
The device is encrypted, maybe that has something to do with it?
Is it at all possible that this is because of a missing driver? I did install the flashmode driver using flashtool.
Thanks
Yannik
It does sound like a driver issue.
Make sure you have the Latest version of Flashtool installed, and try the driver installer again.
On your phone, in Developer options (enabled in the Settings main menu by going to Settings > About phone > and tapping Build number 7 times) , make sure you have USB debugging turned on, and I also allow mock locations. You must have Unknown Sources ticked in Security settings too.
I have successfully flashed mine this way.
Before you start Flashtool, turn the phone off, hold volume down, and plug in the USB lead to your computer. The LED on the phone should turn a solid green. The computer should sort out the drivers itself.
If you're above Windows 7 then there are other things you have to do to get the drivers to install properly, or so I've heard, but I don't know for sure as I refuse to leave 7 behind. I hate the tiles in Windows 8, and I guess in 10 too.
Once that's done, you're good to go with Flashtool.
Guessing the encryption has something to do with it.
It actually seems to have been some kind of driver issue.
The flashtool drivers are installed (activated the non-signed driver installation), as well as the sony pc companion software. Unfortunately, I could not resolve this issue and get flashmode to work on Windows 8.1 x64.
However, flashmode did work (without any driver installation!) on a Linux Mint system.

Have you booted Windows in “Disable driver signature enforcement” mode?
From: http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
Note: To install the Flashtool drivers for Windows 8/Windows 8.1, please follow the steps below.
1) Press the Windows key + R and in the run box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
2) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machine

Haha I forgot that you need USB debugging and unknown source on, when I did flash with flashtool it stops half way saying USB debugging and unknown source to be turn on, kinda soft bricked my phone had to repair with pc companion oooops
mine just turns green for a fraction of a second and then boots, while flashtool tells me i should be in usb debugging mode, even thought it is set as such from the dev options.
Any suggestions? I keep the vol down button pressed until about 1 second after plugging the cable. i tried even for a longer period, the led turns green for half a second and then nothing.

Driver
In my case, it doesn't show up the driver for Xperia Z5, just until the Z3, not even for Z3+, and I dont know where to find the correct driver for Z5, and I have downloaded the lastest version of Flashtool.
Does anyone know what can I do?
I've got the same problem as yours. I wanted to debrand my xperia z5, I created the ftf file to flash with flashtool but I can't get the flash mode... going in the flashtool download page I've noticed that it says: 0.9.19.0 was valid for ZL,Z1,Z2,Z3,Z3c,Z3+/Z4,Z4Tablet,E4,E4G,M2,M4 because of new FSC feature added --> our device doesn't appear in the list so I think we have to wait for a little. It's my opinion...sorry for my bad english, I'll stay tuned for further information
Flashtool latest version is 0.9.19.10 and does support Z5 once you patch x10flasher.jar:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
To apply the 0.9.19.10 patch, you must be on 0.9.19.2, 0.9.19.3, 0.9.19.4, 0.9.19.5, 0.9.19.6, 0.9.19.7, 0.9.19.8 or 0.9.19.9 and replace x10flasher.jar with the one from the patch.

Install Sony PC Companion and connect your Z5. Normally drivers should be installed now. There not included in Flashtool yet.
anyway I wanted to flash a stock firmware (since I'm branded). I've downloaded the firmware, created the ftf file with flashtool, downloaded the drivers ( with pc companion and also with the .exe inside the flashtool directory) but wen it asks for holding the volume down and plug the device it boots (as the problem the others has). Any Ideas? I've tried to hold the volume up and then plug the phone but it doesn't work, flashtool don't start the process
try flashing on a linux system.
I'll try (I have to find a pc running linux first) but I think that should be a problem of the device, I maen the buttons combinations seems inappropriated on this terminal since it restarts...It's my honest opinion (and I seize the moment to remember you of my bad english)
I had the same problem, for me trying it from linux (you can dual boot) fixed the problem. Must have been a problem with my windows installation.
Do you suggest to full wipe or not?
I didn't perform a full wipe and didn't have any problems.

Phone doesnot turn on

I tried flashing phone with custom ROM ([ROM][XL] StryFlex™ Marshmallow v1.0 | Official Sony Xperia UI) .
But phone didn't boot for 2 hours and I removed the battery and tried to turn on but while pressing the power button , it keeps on vibrating for short time in certain intervals.
No Sony logo comes and No recovery menu pops up.
Also Sony companion also doesnot recognized the device. But Blue light keeps blinking while pressing Up + Power button while plugging in USB cable but nothing happens.
Try pressing volume up when plug in usb cable and see if blue led glows?
Yes It does.
Yeah , It does change into blue.

Does flashtool recognize the device?
Driver issues
No it doesnot , It says driver not found. In device manager it shows something s1boot device or something like that. I tried installing different drivers but didn't work out.

I think I had your problem once but I can't remember how I fixed it. I think it has something to do with windows updates, like you need to disabling it. I'm not sure, I hope it will help you. If not then there is nothing I can do.

Try to use flashtool 0.9.11. And install drivers for "taoshan board". They are in the flashtool`s installation directory. If the blue led still flashes that means you connect it in flashmode which is a good thing.
Everytime I try to install the that driver , it says Install failed.
