[Q] Driver Problems (S1 Boot Download) - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

I'm Sorry For Double Posting but 32 Views and not a single Reply!
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

ADB and windows 7 x64

I have finally upgraded my system to Windows 7 x64.
installed ABD and with test "adb devices" I got the (long) number, so ADB installed well.
But I can't install with fastboot. When Arc is connected it gives "waiting for devices"
I downloaded the official SE driver (http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/downloads/download/sonyericssonxperiaarcxperianeoxperiaplaydrivers?cc=gb&lc=enbut when I tried to install this via Windows it don't recognize it as a driver, so it still don't work!!
( I used Adb a lot times with Windows XP without any problem)
Can someone help?
kind regards

These are the win x64/x86 drivers i use for fastboot on my play. Afaik there the same as the arc.
http://www.multiupload.com/0XZV1LXRVA
Thank you but as I said I have this
number XXXXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot that means your phone successfully connected.
Its the S1 Boot fastboot driver. But when I let search Windows for this driver in my specific map where I downloaded the Official SE one, Windows says there's no driver, it can't be installed. This is my problem
I hope someone knows how to install this.
thanks
I think i had used one of the links to drivers found on the forum..
Don't exactly remember where i got it from.. I had the same problem with my Windows 7 64 bit .. Think the drivers a bit buggy..

Download latest version of flashtool. During installation, scroll down and make sure you select installation of fastboot drivers. That should work. I had a nightmare of a time trying to get my phone detected in fast boot mode. This method worked for me.

Try this, download and install latest flashtool. Go to the installation directory, find a folder called drivers and run the exe "flashtool drivers". Scroll down and select Xperia Z AND FASTBOOT DRIVERS. Reboot PC and see if your PC detects your phone in fastboot
Also keep in mind, to have adb running, enable Android Debugging on your phone.

[Q] Xperia Z1 Compact on Windows 7 64bit

Tried to connect my phone to a Windows 7 64bit PC using the USB cable but Windows couldn't find the device driver for D5503. I found these from the Sony site and downloaded them but I couldn't install them manually either. Anyone managed to gracefully connect this to a PC?

I've got the newest Sony PC Companion (thorugh Update) and my System recognized the phone directly.
Did you tried that approach also?

Is that on windows 7 64 bit?
What do you mean by "through update"? I just downloaded PC companion from the Sony site.

I have a Win7 64Bit System. I have not yet tested on Win8.1 64bit, but will do in the next days.
"Through Update" means, that my (already installed) PC Companion had informed me for an updated version 1-2 weeks ago and I've installed it.
So last Friday I just plugged the Z1C and it the driver was installed and I was able to use my phone on the computer.
If you installed the PC Companion after you connected your phone, than you might have to remove the device within the device manager. After a reboot it should work. At least my experience with other Sony devices.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate N so I just downloaded the media player feature pack from Microsoft. Not sure how to get it for other Windows versions though.

start -> control panel -> programs -> turn windows features on or off
check in list for Media Features, Windows Media Player should be there, enable it and it will automatically install.
OT: Im on win7 64bit. No problems at all. I did not have Pc companion installed before, but i installed it before connecting my phone for the first time.
just bought a xperia z1 compact, plugged into PC, didn't work.
found this thread, installed PC companion etc... still doesn't work. Windows 7 64bit just shows it with a yellow triangle in the device manager?!
I try to connect through PC companion and it does nothing, just sits there.
Please help!?:good:
Please read... It says that they manage to solve the issue by installing Windows Media Player.

I read that. But I have windows media player installed. Who doesn't on a Windows pc, its default?
I have it working on laptop, will give up with the PC.
Same problems as described above.
Following worked for my PC: (I have a Dutch windows (7, 64) and translated the following commands in English. So it is possible that these commands are named different in the English windows version.)
Go to device manager, right click on D5503 (with the yellow triangle), Search for device on my computer (second option), I want to choose from the driver list on my computer, uncheck view compatible hardware, standard MTP device, MTP USB device.
The Phone has to be set on MTP in the USB connection setting to use it with PC companion
Same issue here, any ideas?
USB debugging and MTP already worked successful, but now it's not working anymore.
Following situation:
If I disable USB debugging and plug USB cable into PC then nothing is shown in Windows Explorer and even not in the device manager. The field "MTP" is greyed out/disabled in XPERIA connectivity -> USB connection.
If I enable USB debugging, phone says "connected" however Windows is showing yellow triangle. I tried to download the drivers from http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z1-compact-driver/ but Windows doesn't detect them.
If I try to uninstall the drivers right click on D5503 (with yellow triangle) nothing happens.
Phone reset the only idea?
Ok, I got it.
Just added the following lines to android_winusb.inf:
Code:
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002&MI_01

Hi there, I'm having the same problem. I've installed the CWM recovery, but stupidly didn't check that I could access the phone over USB beforehand. Now I'm stuck with a continuously rebooting phone, and windows says it can't install the Sony driver.
When you said you added the above two lines to the android_winusb.inf file, what did you mean? I found this file in the
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\android_winusb.inf_amd64_neutral_d58a98da913cec3a
folder, but couldn't edit it, even as admin.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Ok, I installed the driver on a notebook and was able to get a ROM (CM 11 M8 snapshot) loaded to /sdcard. But after I installed from zip, I'm still stuck in a boot loop to CWM recovery.
Anyone know how to get out of this?

If you can install PC Companion then it should be fine, the correct z1c driver will be installed for your windows and Adb will work normally. But just some people never can install PCC successfully and they will need to modify their android_winusb.inf to add two lines and let your windows to recognize your Z1c.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
Alternative way is to install Xperia driver set but I have never tried this method.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-fastboot-mode/
If you stuck in a boot loop with wrong recovery(I just tried it today). I'm afraid you have to flash a .ftf and clean all things out. At first, you can try to boot into fastboot mode(you will need to make sure your adb works) and try to flash other custom recovery and wish no boot loop again.

Anyone??? I need to flash my device...please help
1) Install drivers from this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2) After that you will be able to manually assign Android ADB Interface driver to your phone in Device Manager

I already have adb installed and it worls fine...its just i am unable to install moto drivers on my pc... I even tried after disabling driver signature bull**** that was introduced in windows...
Those pack also contains proper ADB driver. You do not need separate Moto drivers, original ADB driver from Google will work fine too.
After installation connect your phone in fastboot mode to PC and go to Device Manger. Then update the driver of your phone in manual mode (when you have to choose from the drivers already installed on your PC) and choose Android ADB driver from the list.
