Whilst attempting to use the flashtool to .181, I connect the phone in flash mode and it sais "please install or reinstall device drivers". I had extracted the fw to the firmware folder, and i presume I have to do something similar with the driver folder, however I am not sure what. There are three .rar folders in there but for x10 and x8, Do I use one of these or should there be drivers for the Arc in there?
Cheers

I Read your thread of "Namaste Guide to Arc Rooting" etc and I Started following the procedure of Rooting my LT15i without unlocking the bootloader.
But the moment i connected my Arc in flash mode, It started installing the drivers of "S1 Boot Download" but then it didnt succesfully install them. It also failed to download the drivers via Windows Update.
Could you please provide me the drivers or the Link to them? Or a workaround (if any)
Thank You!

Isn't there any solution to this?
Same here mate
install pc companion..then conect your device..pc companion auto install all driver on your pc..
If your using Win 7 it seems to be a bit stupid concerning the MTP driver i had to reinstall PC companion several times befor it would install the MTP driver properly.
on My XP machine it seems to do it on its own when i connect the phone pretty fast. Win 7 alot slower and half the time it fails to install
There are all drivers what you need
This package includes Fastboot, Flashmode and ADB Drivers for all XPERIA devices
It's from Flashtool
If you have win7 64 bits or win vista 64 bits and you follow the official SE guide (so you have donwloaded Android SDK + modified inf file from SE site), you have to use the inf file I've posted here instead of SE one.
If you are following lollylost100 guide, you'll find needed packages here
Hello everybody. I'm having a problem with flashtool. I installed the drivers that say "Sony Ericsson xperia arc, Xperia Neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro IS11S, Xperia acro SO-02C drivers", "Flashmode Drivers", and "Fastboot Drivers" I opened up flashtool and tried to put my phone in fastboot mode. My phone restarts, the blue light lights up, but after a couple seconds it says:
27/040/2012 04:40:12 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
27/040/2012 04:40:12 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
Even after that message, the screen is still black and the blue light is still there so I think it's still in fastboot mode. But if I select "select kernel to flash", it says "This action can only be done in fastboot mode." I'm not sure why this is happening because I just installed the drivers. Maybe I installed the wrong ones? Any help is appreciated.
Also something I noted, when it's installing the drivers, it's saving it to a temp folder. IDK if this is supposed to happen, but I copied the files over to the "drivers" folder but it still doesn't work.

You've got to reinstall flashtool again. (I dont know what you did) Then go inside your C drive and locate the folder labled flashtool and open it. Once you done that locate the folder called drivers and accept all the permissions that goes along with it. There flashtool can identify your play.

I tried that and it still puts the files in the temp folder. Is there a way I can change the output folder when I download the drivers?

Check out the link for a photo to see what's happening
I fixed the problem. I tried my dad's laptop which has windows 7 and it worked fine. I guess flashtool doesn't like XP or something.
Hi.I wanted to update my Xperia S to android 4.0 with PC Companion, but i had problem with 'Preparing mobilephone for installation' where you had to press volume down button while plugging it to my PC.I did ale the stages but nothing happened.So I tried to do it with Flashtool.I click 'Flash' and follow instruction included in thread about Flashtool and using it with my Xperia S.I have .ftf file with Android ICS.So, i click flash,I get to part witch holding down Volume button while plugging in my device, and thats what i get:
Code:
ERROR-(X10flash,java:374) -
ERROR-(X10flash,java:374) - Error Flashing. Aborted
So, what have I done wrong ?

Or confirm your system. Is it a 64Bit or 32Bit OS, then use proparity Flashtool.
while you'll find all this info littered around the forum; i'll try to run down the exact order to install stuff...at least the order that worked for me...as flashtool, and your phone, seem to fight windows pretty hard at points...
this is all assuming a fresh start...uninstall the device, flashtool, etc if you have to: also this is for an Ion, but it works pretty much the same i'm assuming.
phone ON, MTP connectivity selected; connect to PC with usb cable. Don't touch anything at first. Windows should find and recognize both the internal and external flash drives of the phone (depending on device), and install necessary drivers. If you're using flashtool, i'd suggest not even bothering with the installation of PC companion. PCC will fight flashtool in some cases when connecting the phone, so if you do install it be sure and turn it off when connecting with flashtool.
Set all your autoplay settings to 'do nothing' or 'take no action' when prompted. This too will help prevent windows from trying to do multiple things when you connect with flashtool running.
now unplug the phone, turn it OFF...while holding the phone volume button DOWN...reconnect the usb cable and continue holding the button. This is where i get different results depending on what machine i'm using. My home computer gives a prompt for new hardware which eventually turns into 'SEMC flash driver installed'. My work computer prompted 'S1 Boot Driver installed'...in either case...flashtool would NEVER work right until one of these showed up...and in my case, trying to get this driver to install with flashtool running simply wasn't happening.
if that works, move on...you may have to keep trying that a few times, though. If the green LED light on the phone immediately turns off and the phone attempts to charge, you'll probably have to try again. For whatever reason windows doesn't always react the same, so it takes some patience.
Next install flashtool like normal. After that, find the usb_drivers.exe and run it. Regardless of phone, i just installed everything listed (even though, for my Ion, not one of them specifically says xperia Ion or LT28...)
after that...reboot computer
Now you should be good to go. I run AVG free on both machines, and it never seemed to fight flashtool, but some have said some anti-virus software will interfere...
load up flashtool, select your firmware (i'm assuming you've read how to do all that)...select what you want to do...connect phone with volume down pressed...hold until the flashing starts...and you should be fine.
Hi! I'vs just bought a new computer and I have to migrate from my desktop PC to the new laptop. The problem comes after restart the PC. I've installed the Android SDK, the PCCompanion, the Gordon's Gate drivers and the fastboot drivers from flashtool, as on my desktop computer with the advanced reinstall to avoid the prohibition to install unsigned drivers. The problem comes here because with my PC I could flash kernels at this point, but, in my new laptop appears another unknow device called Sony Fastboot Interface inside Android Device in the Device Manager. Any ideas?
No one?
What happens when you try to install the drivers ?
Is it in any way colides with flashing and so on ?
IF not then don't worry.
When I finish, appears another unknow device (Android Bootloader Interface) and if I try to flash a kernel, the console gives me waiting for device
I recall installing few drivers.
1 Regular usb
2 Fastboot mode drivers
3 Flashtool drivers
Try googling "xperia fastboot drivers" and download any you can find, i remember downloading some from sony's official webiste.
Here:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
Connect the device in normal mode and fastboot mode and manually select the path to the drivers.
I ended up doing it in windows safe mode, because my pc kept freezing.

Go to ''device manager'' in your computer; see if your device drivers are normal; even if it is, I would recommend a complete reinstall of all drivers and programs xperia related. Tell me, are you using Windows 8? If yes, you should now that Windows 8 doesn't install drivers correctly, at least flashtool drivers.
