Sony Xperia M2 (D2303) NEED FLASTOOL DRIVERS

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

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:
1,A computer with flashtool installed on.
2,A good USB cable (because we don't want the dvice to disconnect in the middle of the flashing process ).
3,download c2305 stock firmware .ftf (stock rom.ftf).(from the link below)
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.

[Q] xperia z3 fastboot mode problem

I wanted to wipe user data , so I googled for that to make a hard reset from bootloader and I found some steps :
1) Turn Off handset .
2) Press Up volume and connect to the computer through USB .
My mobile led went blue , but the computer gave me "device not recognized " message .
so I pressed Power Button to exit this mode , The led went off but the mobile didn't responde.
the screen is black and the mobile not responding Since then .
When I connect it to the computer it recognize that a usb device is plugged but with the message " device not recognized"
Tried many things , like press down volume and connect , or down volume and power , down,up and power ... etc , and nothing works .
Can any one help please

Hey did you even install the fastboot driver for xperia z3?

yeah the one that called Emma .
and another one called (Flashtool) but still my windows can't recognize it .
windows 8.1 by the way .

u might need to install the driver provided by flashtools.
installing non certified drivers are bit tricky on win8 & later which u need to reboot in special mode.
or maybe pc companion include that driver.

EMMA is not non certified.
But the drivers can also be found on internet in a form of an .exe application.

I did installed the drivers in windows test mode , Still the same it can't recognize my phone .

Now I need to reset the phone and normal factory reset don't delete every thing (pics, sms ... etc) still exists .

[SOLVED] Soft bricked Z5 - Require Assistant

So, i havent been modding Android phones in a long time and when I wanted to flash MM on my Z5, i forgot that i dont have the Z5 drivers. Now, based on what i know, i did have SONY PC COMPANION installed prior to soft bricking my device, so i would assume the drivers are installed. My current situation is as follows:
-Device wont turn on, switches between RED/GREEN led with error message of "update failed, please connect to PC etc..."
-Sony pc companion doesnt seem to recognize the phone as i cant repair it
-Cannot flash FTF through as it keeps failing to flash at different points, do not know if not having the Z5 drivers play a factor here. I got the drivers from there but i do not know what to do with it as it is not .exe file, i also have the latest flashtool installed.
-I backed up my files prior to this, so i am willing to wipe everything.
Thank you, i would appreciate if i can get some assistant on this. Stupid me for making this mistake in the first place.
Regards,
Litoni

Use PC Companion repair option (marked with a red box on my screenshot).

As mentioned, SPCC doesn't recognize my phone. It somewhat does but doesn't give me the option to repair. There are these other screens which i think are prior to the repair page (hopefully) but i was stuck at the page when it asks me to remove the battery or skip if built in. It asks me to press ok to skip but hitting the ok button didn't do anything.

The drivers from flashtool does not include any xperia Z5 series.
Thank you guys for the quick responses, I managed to reflash the .200 through flashtool without any hiccups. which is weird that it didn't work for .163 earlier. I didn't wipe anything, so after flashing .200 i updated the SDK stuff from Google SDK.exe which i think it solved some, from there I flashed .163 (MM) again and it worked. Kept all data intact, even my encrypted Class 10 SD card worked without any issues. So far so good, haven't really encountered any errors, fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: once again thank you for the quick responses.

No green android when using flash or fastboot mode

Hi,
First of all the bootloader is already unlocked.
Two problems:
1. - I was trying to flash twrp.img on my mobile but I am not getting that green android to show up in my screen all I get a black screen with blue led light, I usually power off the mobile, hold volume up and then connect the USB cable to my mobile.
2. - Can't find mobile device while using flash or fastboot, my mobile Developer option and USB debugging are turn on, mobile drivers and adb-setup-1.4.3 are installed, I have access to my mobile on my PC , when I do the process of flashing or fastboot I turn off the mobile and I unplug USB cable from my mobile, I press the keys to do flash or fastboot (I don't see no green android just a led light turn on) and connect the USB cable, problem is my PC can't find the mobile device, I use adb function eg. adb devices or fastboot devices I get nothing no device no info.
Is this problem with Win 10?
Was my problem understood in 2. - ?

Most likely a drivers problem, Windows10 fails to tell you that it's not installed the drivers that you pressed the install button on. It also fails to assign the right drivers when you add the phone in flashmode/fatsboot.
You will need to add them manually.
Go into safe mode and use 'driver signing disabled', try adding the drivers again. Then plug in you phone in flashmode/fastboot, then look in the device manager for the phone and change it
Several people have reported success with Zdiag drivers
