Hello!
I have a question ?
How to unlock my bootloader ?
The phone is Sony Xperia XA1, I have a problem with adb driver. I can't find the new driver for my phone.
When I install the driver he is not working correctly, and flashboot software can't find the my phone, and when I press the button BLU, and flashboot gives me back: Device connected in flash mode but driver is too old

Hi All,
Got myself a new xperia Ray, and I want to flash the generic firmware as posted by DoomLord in the xperia mini forums. I've downloaded the last flashtool (version 0.3.0), but I cannot flash the generic firmware to my phone. The device is not supported. Only the X10 and the 17i are (Ray is 18i). Devices can be added to flashtool, but therefore the build properties file in flashtool needs to be altered; I do not know what parameters to put in that file so that it properly recognises my phone.
The reason I want to flash the generic firmware is because I want to get rid of those T-mobile logo's at startup and some apps that are for t-mobile simcards only. And to root the device eventually.
Any thoughts how to flash the generic firmware?
Seems like I got a step further; when pluggin in the phone when asked, I plug in the phone in flashmode (volume down and plug in usb), I get an error related to drivers of the phone. I have already installed pc companion and drivers for the phone were also installed. System is xp sp3 btw.
Any thoughts again?
Thanks
Allright, i solved it. Additional drivers were needed to recognise the phone in flashtool. The phone is nice and clean now!
can share how u do it? I have already installed the ADB drivers to work with fastboot but it seems flashtools still cannot find my devices
I don't know```
You first have to install pc companion. Pc companion installs drivers for the ray. Make sure that u have successfully communicated with the phone through the program. Thats one.
When flashing with flashtool, the phone needs to enter flashmode. Here lies the problem. When the phone enters flashmode, additional drivers are needed which werent installed by pc companion. Yiu see something with SEMCUSB and windows asks you to point to the drivers. These drivers you have to install when unlocking the bootloader and can be found at sony ericsson bootloader site (link is somewhere at xda). I needed also another driver for the phone to install which i found at xda at a step for step bootloader unlock.
So first unlock the bootloader. Then flash the rom. I will look up some links when i get home
Hi
You can unlock the Ray's bootloader from this link.
Follow the instructions there.(I haven't tested it but so far that works for others)
Hello,
My Windows 7 PC is not able to detect the drivers for Xperia L. I have already installed the PC Companion and also installed the Flash Tool drivers, ADB Universal Drivers. Still it doesn't detect the device.
ADB Debugging is enabled.
Can you give a download link for the drivers?
Thanks.

Try a different approach. Go into your device manager on your PC. You can go into device manager by going into properties of MY COMPUTER or Control Panel\System and Security\System
When your device is connected, do you see an exclamation mark in devices. Reinstall it by finding drivers manaually.
IF this all fails, just delete the device and refresh it.
Another very useful trick is to delete the unknow device (xperia L) and restart your Xperia L. Then search for device changes. it will be detected automatically.
Is your MTP ticked in Xperia / Connection/ USB connection on your phone ?

Unfortunately, I have done all that. Isn't there a driver setup file for this phone? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks!
I'm facing the same problem.
I'm tryng to unlock the boot loader following the instructions on Sony website, but when it comes to use fastboot it just keep saying <waiting for device>.
And I have installed all the stuff you said, too.

Oh I remember, i was facing the same problem for bootloader. I am uploading the drivers. These should work. The trick is download the 2kb file and past it into google drivers and then find them from the PC.
Good Luck.

the whole of this was my phone was softbricked. I wanted to get into recovery so I could use ADB to try to fix it. When it's softbricked, ADB won't start up, therefore I could use ADB.
Trust me, I know how to use ADB, I just wanted to know if there was a key combination to get our phones into recovery mode with ADB because ADB wouldn't work because my phone was softbricked. It had nothing to do with me not knowing how to use ADB or how to set it up, it had to do with my phone would brick it self before ADB started, so therefore I couldn't send any ADB commands.

Don't mention it mate. Hit thanks if you think I helped
DRivers for Xperia L
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46681107#post46681107
Problem solved. It was tricky, though.
Having PC companion installed wincrap didn't make me choose other drivers.
So I disabled the signature verification for drivers -> rebooted -> connected Phone while pressing the vol UP -> opened device manager -> select s1boot fastboot (which had a warning icon) -> selected driver manually (the .inf file we replaced following the first steps.
then i just used cmd as in the guide.
et voilà, bootloader unlocked.
I hope this is helpful to those who faced my same problem.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 model D6653 with Android 4.4.4 build 23.0.1.A.1.49, I tried to unlock the boot loader at the Sony website, It went al right till the part when I need to run cmd at the platform-tools folder (from sdk bundle), when I write "fastboot devices" the cmd don't respond me with anything, it just appears another line to enter a command again
- Installed the Google USB Driver, Android 4.4W.2 and Android 4.4.2 SDKs (don't know why there is not for 4.4.4)
- USB Debugging Mode: ON
- Fastboot mode (blue led at the phone corner) successful
I think that this normally happens when the PC dont detect the device
I'm stuck at this phase, please someone help me, thanks!

xda didn't allow me for posting a photo url so I put it separated
Use the minimal adb and fastboot set up, that's a lot easier

If nothing here works, get the flashtool drivers for the z3. Works like a charm. Also, you should probably TA backup, if you haven't already.
I think it didn't worked for me,the thing is that I need to unlock bootloader to put root in the device

You can root without unlocking.
Search XDA.

Did you tried flashtool driver pack?
If not, then follow below steps.
Hope you'll succeed
You have to install it manually. Just download below flashtool driver pack (link below)
http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Rmxhc2h0b29sLWRyaXZlcnMtMS4zLTIwMTQwMjA5
Download above and double click on it > next > fastboot drivers (at bottom of the list) install it and now connect your phone in fastboot mode.
Now follow and Complete popups for fastboot.
(If there's popup for MTP drivers, just cancel it)
After installation is finished Disconnect device and connect again in fastboot mode.
(VolUP and then connect USB )
If above process fails, let me know

Hi. I cannot unlock the bootloader of my xperia xz premium(G8141) I tried the official Sony method and also with the flashtool. When I put the phone in fastboot mode it only gives blue light and the phone doesn't communicate with the computer.

Go into the developer mode and enable OEM unlock
I already did that.

Go into your phone and type *#*#7378423#*#*
Then look in Service Menu/Configuration - Rooting status
If it says No then there's not much you can do.
It may also be a driver problem, Windows10 has a habit of not installing drivers, but not telling you they failed.
Try Zadig
Sometimes you have to go into safe mode and use 'driver signing dsiabled' for installing drivers in Win10 to work
Thanks it worked. Windows had trouble installing drivers.
