Hello.
Recently i bought Omnius service and when i was trying to unlock my xperia arc with Testpoint procedure i had some problems finding the qhsusb_DLOAD drivers that PC (in my case Win XP, SP3) looks for before allow Omnius to staring unlocking process.
Those drivers were uploaded by me at the following link:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/T...NDRtNElYRHRVag
This download link is invalid and there is no file associated with it.
How 'recently' was that, september 2011?

Correct link is; https://www.yousendit.com/download/T2dmTkFnNDRtNElYRHRVag
And for those that don't want to buy omnius and want to use the testpoint method;

Hello,
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my R800i, and every time I plug it into my computer while holding the search button on the phone, the "Point to drivers" window doesn't pop up on my computer.
I've followed everything on Sony Mobile's site, my R800i says bootloader unlockable Yes in the service menu.
Baseband is -56 version
Build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
I've got the Android SDK, the modified winusb.inf file, and google USB Rev. 4.
My computer is using Windows 8 Consumer Preview if that means anything.
I've tried searching google and here on xda, but I can't seem to find a thread about the computer failing in the unlock BL process.
Is it operator error (probably), or is it something else?
Install flashtool from here.
Once it's installed, go to the Drivers folder (I think that's what it's called) and install the exe file in there. Then just select the drivers in the list for R800, ADB and fastboot.
It should install them automatically.
EDIT: I do remember seeing something about Windows 8 compatibility issues but I can't seem to find it now and I can't quite remember what wasn't compatible :/
Alrighty, thanks. Will do when I get the chance this afternoon
EDIT: I just installed flashtool, installed the drivers you specified, and it says that everything is fine. However, when I plug my phone into my computer red text comes up in flashtool saying "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device." and that I can find them in the drivers folder of flashtool.
Not sure what's going wrong here, so any help is really appreciated!
Ok, I think I have it figured out, but I'm only running on a hunch; do I have to be on version 2.3.3? My play is on the latest 2.3.4 release.
You shouldn't have any type of problem with 2.3.4.
If you entered "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" and you still got no response then you still have a driver problem.
I had the exact same problem!
Its because Windows 8 doesnt install unsigned drivers as its still in Beta.
I had to re-install Windows 7 on my Computer, which took forever, so my advice is use a different Computer to do it. Saves the hassle of Installing Windows 7

Are you sure you have all the correct drivers installed?
yes, but connect the USB did not prompt new hardware
No Worries...
You have me here,
first you should have ADB installed (adb package including fastboot)
second you should have SEUS (sony Ericsson Update service) and in some cases instead of SEUS you may have SE pc suite.
Turn off your phone,after 10 seconds turn it on again and connect the USB cable while holding back key.
simply extract adb package somewhere,navigate to that folder via CMD
Type:
fastboot devices
now there should be a connected device...:good:

You can't get into fastboot mode if your bootloader is locked.
Try doing a little searching in these forums. These questions have been asked and answered many times before.

He speaks the truth! Also, if youre simlocked too than theres no way to unlock for free. If youre not simlocked and youre not CDMA then you can just go on sonys site to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise you need to get your bootloader unlocked, which will run you ~$24, just use the goog.

True the only way to unlock you bootloader is to pay there is no "free" way. If you need your bootloader unlocked I recommend Alejandrissmo.
BL unlocked allowed no but Iam unlock it

same here..any solution anyone?
hi all............i followed the instructions in sony mobile unlock instructions page............but as per STEP# 13
On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
AM not able to find this file in the USB DRIVER folder............can you help me please?
Thanks

There you go.
Extract the files and when you are asked point the folder containing the driver. I say it again,, the FOLDER not the file
am still not able to do it friend..........i even used device manager to update driver and when i point to the usb driver folder it says, file not found........
after installing SDK, did you install the "google usb driver package"?
yes i have installed the USB DRIVERS................but when updating i cannot find the bootloader file...........and even if point to that folder it says file not found.............
Well I just checked, I also do not have the *boot loader interface-file* in that directory.
try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087 its how I unlocked mine and doesn't call for step 13.
thank a lot friend............will let you know soon.........
Hi I'm having some problems unlocking BL. The driver is not being detected... moreover the cmd window says its waiting for the device... yet the device is connected in fastboot mode with blue led on!
I'm using win xp 32bit by the way. Please suggest a solution.. thanx
My phone is arc s.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers. The drivers need to be installed twice. Once in Android and once in fastboot. Computer will auto detect and install when you plug your phone in, in both modes.
Success. Thanks. Is there any way to check bl status directly in phone?

Prob I'm having is that my computer isn't auto detecting the driver. I don't get a prompt to select a path to the driver when I connect the phone in fastboot mode. If I add the commands specified by Sony in a command window the phone is connected, but when I enter 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY' I get the following-
Unlock phone requested
FAILED <remote oem unlock 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I assume the driver isn't installed. I've tried adding it manually to the windows/inf folder. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi, i have i few questions about it-.... my xperia zl says not allowed unlock bootloader.... but im still try to do it.
i download all the files and drivers from sdk, when i open the cmd or the terminal and i type fastboot.exe getvar like sony says, i put my phone in bootloader mode with +volume and plug the usb, the blue light turn it on and stay on... but my pc or command prompt just says waiting for devices, not devide detected, is that a problem of my drivers or is for the locked bootloader?
thanks.

If your status of unlock bootloader = no mean that you can't unlock your bootloader. At the moment no method can unlock that status. Maybe you can ask your mobile carrier and request one, most likely will cost you some money.

1. i think this is not the right place to post this kind of questions...
2. if says no it means NO, you cant unlock it, u must think in buy another phone with unlocked status:YES
3. i think if you keep trying you may brick your phone...
