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.

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.

Hi! I have a problem with the drivers in the flashtool. I installed all the drivers from the drivers folder, but when you connect your phone to install the firmware flashtool indicates that there is no driver.
Ps.In the Device Manager Universal Serial Bus Controller with an exclamation point next to the stamp.
Ps. I can not turn the phone apart recorvery mode
Ps. PC Companion tells the modified software or can it miss?
manually download and install adb drivers and fastboot drivers via android sdk...
if this doesnt help then...i had all the drivers installed separately like adb drivers from screen lag fix pack by dragoboss(look in apps and themes section) and usb drivers with pc companion. fastboot drivers via android sdk....still i installed drivers provided by flashtool never got any problem hope this helps hit thanks
USB Drivers are let your PC communicate with your device.
If you are executing some ADB Commands, you will need USB Drivers installed which will let the ADB server on your PC communicate with the ADB client on your device. If there are no USB Drivers installed on your PC, you will not be able to perform activities on your device via the PC.
First of All I would recommend you to install Universal ADB Driver Installer.The Universal ADB Driver installer detects your phone and installs the ADB drivers for it.This tool developed by drsmart is your solution to the “device not found” error you might get on executing ADB commands.

MORE DEVICES WILL BE UPDATED
Thanks for the info. I tried the univ adb driver installer but it showed I already had the right driver installed. Windows explorer can see my phone but other apps like HTC Sync or myphoneexplorer can't. This only happened after I rooted & installed a new rom. Maybe the rom is faulty...

No access to USB debug
I give up and need some professional help...Ya both kinds.
Here we go, I have the Galaxy 3 d2att I747
Rooted
I was running CM 10.2 with latest nightly, I think 20131208 and decided to update to CM11 via my Cyanogenmod updater but before I did I had read somewhere I should change from CWM recovery to TWRP so I downloaded Goomanager and updated to the TWRP version for my phone then went for the KitKat update and thats when the trouble began.
I am now stuck in a boot loop even if I try to boot into TWRP all I get is the TWRP boot logo then straight into boot loop again. I am almost positive I did a factory wipe as well as cache/dalvik.
Not being able to use TWRP to get into recovery I thought I would just use Odin but I can't get any of my laptops to recognize the phones USB, I just get the windows usb driver error and have tried to install the drivers manually via device manager using my samsung 7 chronos with windows 8.1 and my acer with windows 7. I updated drivers using Samsung Kies and from the website, no luck.
I also ventured into an area that I have no expertise in but I guess thats how we learn so I downloaded the Android SDK thinking I could use it to download and install the google USB drivers that way, but I can't get out of boot loop to make sure USB debugging is checked. The only thing I can access is the stock download mode which would be great if I could use the USB connection.
What am I missing? Any suggestions?
USB Not Recognized Error
I noticed that my phone suddenly stopped being recognized on both my Windows 7 and Win8 laptops. I have been trying to fix it with the drivers but to no avail. However, I plugged my phone in with a different USB cord and voila it was recognized and working. Maybe this could possibly be a simple fix.
My computer stopped recognizing my Skyrocket
Hi Everyone,
I also am having trouble with my win 7 computer recognizing my Skyrocket suddenly. I have been using several KitKat roms and they have been working just fine, except for some reported bugs that the CM devs are working on. I even was able to connect to the computer and explore both my internal and external drives. Then suddenly that stopped and the computer gave me a need to get drivers warning. I've tried to download drivers from Samsung and the computer says they are already installed. I also tried the universal driver download and got the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Like the others on this forum, I wouldn't be able to odin if I got in trouble.
Thanks for your concideration,
drewfs7270
I switched to a different rom and now it's working again !

Also, any mobile manufacturer website has guides or direct downloads for drivers. Otherwise uni drivers suffice.....

soft brick
I face bad experienced, the tablet can not boot ( after install TWRP ) but enable to enter the fastboot mode and can be detected by the computer as android adb interface but adb can't communicated with the tablet. (list of devices atached)
I do have a backup file ( I make it before soft brick, I make backup using dd command, because I don't have cwm/twrp recovery ).... but how to flash it ? Tablet chipset is wonder media 8980 OS android 4.2.2
I can not flash it by adb/fastboot.
Maybe someone here can give me a little guide for how to....
I really appreciate for your kindness
Hey, I made an expirience, which might help other users as well.
I have a Sony device (Z1C) and use Windows 10, maybe this will help for other brands and for other Windows 10 users.
I installed drivers for my device and was able to use adb. When I put the phone into fastboot mode, it was not recognized anymore. I found out, Sony has a seperate (updated, maybe?) driver for fastboot mode. When I tried to install this, the driver was not signed and Windows refused to install it. However, you can enter the UEFI (successor of BIOS) and enable installation of unsigned drivers (at own risk). Then I was able to install the fastboot driver and controll my phone in fastboot mode as well as in adb mode.
In conclusion: You might think you installed drivers, because you did, but maybe you did not.
Even on LineageOS page, many people fail to mention that, you DON'T and SHOULDN'T install any generic or universal ADB driver if you have Samsung device. As you can just install Samsung USB Drivers officially from Samsung site. Samsung USB Drivers already contain ABD interface driver just fine so Universal ADB driver is redundant for Samsung phones.
I want to upgrade my xperia m2 to 4.4.4 using flashtool, but when i start the flashing process it tells me to install the drivers for my phone using the flashtool drivers app included in flashtool. But i cant seem to find the driver for the m2 in there. Anyone know where i can get drivers for the M2?
I can't seem to find them either. BTW i'm just guessing here you may not need drivers for that. Install every driver given in flashtool's driver package. It'll ask you to install several times just say yes when the window comes. After that switch off device and just connect it in flashmode. It'll start installing S1 boot driver then you'll find device connected in flashmode. Same with fastboot. After that you may try flashing KK ftf. Good luck
I actually just got it to work. What i did was uninstalled flashtool and installed the newest version from the xda thread and it worked without any driver installation.
I'll try that now
Yes, its mendatory and required to have drivers for every specific device.
So, in your case you can get specific drivers for Xperia M2 from the Sony official smartphone blog and also from sony official website, by clicking on support option.

Please help me mates. I tired the exact process but still flashtool isn't locating drivers for my device. Pc companion doesn't have drivers. And about sony support tells me to install pc companion for that. Please figure out what wrong i might be doing. I request you guys.
Edit: I got the drivers from PC companion. But it's tricky. If you've flashtools installed just uninstall it and restart pc. After that fresh install PC companion. If you had pc companion installed earlier then remove it too. Okay so you installed pc companion. Now don't connect your phone just yet. open pc companion and click how to connect in the upper left corner. Go through the procedure and select via usb. when it starts searching for phone then connect your phone and wait don't do anything just wait. You'll see a pc companion window opening telling it's installing drivers for your phone. After that process there's no error in flashtool.
I should've waited
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 everyone,
I'd like to flash a firmware on my Z3, however, my PC (?) or more precisely FlashTool doesn't recognize my phone. For now, I don't really know what to do, I installed Sony PC Companion thinking that this could help, like I said, I installed the drivers with the Flashtool drivers exec, but when I plug my phone and click on Flash Device, there is no device found.
Thank you !
