[Q] Bootloader Unlock - Driver Problem - Oops

Having a bit of an issue with the bootloader unlock instructions from here:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Basically the problem is that step 13 just isn't happening. First time I tried it DID pop up but for some reason the bit asking for drivers closed down. Now I can't get to the point where I choose the drivers so I can't go any further.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I don't Understand What do you mean Go to -->Right Click Computer-->Propeties-->Device Manager-->Then Go to "S1 Boot Device"-->Then Right Click on it and Click Driver Something-->Select the Drivers The Drivers for Fastboot never Get Found By windows You'll manually do them on every PC for the first Time!

Thanks! I can't believe Sony didn't put that in their guide. Thought it would be something simple but my last phone I did this on was a Nexus One so i didn't have to do that. Once again thanks! Problem solved.

Then again perhaps there is still a problem...
Did this, went to the right file, the drivers are DEFINITELY here, yet Windows can't find them. WTF Windows?
Oh well, sure its not a huge issue. Any ideas anyone?

Use the latest version of PDAnet. It will solve your driver problems, you won't have to do anything else.

By any chance, are you using AMD machine?

Yes actually, I am. Not by choice but that's not really relevant right now. Does that make a difference here?

Sorry but I've tried looking this up and I'm not sure if I'm finding the right thing. Mind sending a link or something? Thanks!

You need some different AMD driver for fastboot to work.
I found the same problem with AMD machine and used a different driver posted by someone on this forum.
Search for it and you will be ok to boot into fastboot once it is properly installed.

Ah right, you would really think that Sony would mention these things. Thanks, I'll give that a shot later, bit busy right now.

Type pdanet on Google and the first couple of links will show its official page.. Download the windows version of it then install it, it may take a couple of tries. (it took me 3 tries before it got installed)

I got a similar problem, except that, Device manager does not list S1 Boot device..
But the phone is connected in fastboot mode.. blue led and everything..
the only things listed are:
* Base System Device
* Bluetooth Peripheral Device
* Bluetooth Peripheral Device
* Bluetooth Peripheral Device
* Bluetooth Peripheral Device
* Bluetooth Peripheral Device
But I can eject the device by clicking on the icon in the bottom right.. and that reads "Eject S1Boot Fastboot" ..
but why isnt it listed in device manager?

Fix for unlocking bootloader on AMD based computers
For any one looking for the AMD google driver here it is:

Just unzip and copy to the "Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer" step 9 and 10 in the sony instructions, good luck people =)

Yeh tat didn't help..

as suggested in another forum, i disabled one of my usb root hubs in the device manager....it didnt give me that enumeration error and installed the driver but my pc only detects my phone in flash mode(even though i press the button for fastboot)...

It's a common problem with the fastboot drivers at the moment.
The really strange thing is that things still don't work properly if you have 8.1 with XP running in vmware.
Hopefully some smart cookie will work it out

The same problem. I tried UpdateService and PCC , it still does't work!

Someguyfromhell said:
Apparently something was changed in 8.1, making the current method useless.
For now, nothing can be done, you will just have to wait until a new solution is made or move back to Windows 8 or any previous OS.

There is no known solution at the moment. Just wait until a solution is found or return to older version of Windows.

Use another PC, which has earlier version of Windows. There are no fastboot drivers, which work with Windows 8.1, nor there is a solution to make the older ones work.

In flashtool folder there should be a driver folder with all of the drivers use those drivers.
You may have a conflicting driver. (eg HTC and Sony drivers cross talk the same port)
You may have another software using a instance of adb, eg a sync software, use task manager to kill any that apply.
What's the adb error?

Yeah this has happened to me when I bought my phone. I did some very hard tinkering to get it to work - I think it was forcing the install with device manager.
Before we see anything else - make sure adb is updated to the recent version Also there may have been problems with android drivers if your running windows 8 and 8.1 - which version are you running?
You've said you get 2 autoplay dialogs: one for s and one for sl. Is this for just one phone? It seems like you may have installed s and sl drivers...
I'm currently not running a stock rom so I can't give you a framework-res.apk

To be honest, I've tried all of the troubleshooting tips... I dont the problem myself Wait and see for someone to reply if not go to the sony xperia support forums where they can help you a bit more as they're a bit more active than us in terms of helping. XDA is more of a developer forum where people develop and collabrate.
Apparently, there has been *some* issues with usb 3. Try usb 2 just for compatibilites sake. If not then continue reading
Also read this thread
And this could also help:
Quoted from the thread posted:
I've got an Xperia S and I'm using Windows 7 SP1 (x64). Had the same problem but this is what worked for me:
First of all disable USB debugging mode on your Xperia S. If your phone's connected to your pc/laptop disconnect it and then open CMD by typing 'cmd' in the start menu's search box. Then type this exactly as it is:
net localgroup Administrators "local service" /add
After this step, exit CMD. Now connect your phone and it should get detected by PCC and your computer :smileyhappy: Hope this helps!

If you know the device manager port then this should help
Quoted from microsoft kb support (kb 817900)
Method 3: Disable and re-enable the USB controller
Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition. The USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager. If you are not comfortable with advanced troubleshooting, try the steps in the "Workaround" section.
To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Note If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, and then use the Start Search box.
Type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK. Device Manager opens.
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
Repeat step 4 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
If the USB port recognizes the device and if you can use the device, you are finished.
If this method fixed the problem, you are finished. If this method did not fix the problem, go to the "Workaround" section.

Do you have the correct drivers installed? If so, you could uninstall and reinstall them. Also, have you tried PTP connection rather than MTP?

Been there done that and have always eventually been able to get it back so the computer sees the device as mtp. Wugs toolkit has always been helpful
To me. I like the step by step directions for manually updating the drivers and configuring them correctly in adb AND fastboot.
Bit I have come to an impass..........I am currently on the latest carbon nightly, with f2fs file storage for data and cache. My computer will not recognize the device in mtp and I am unable to pass files with a USB cable. I am wondering if my computer has to be compatible with f2fs, because iam sure that it is not. Will this make a difference PR should I once again uninstall and reinstall the drivers configuring them correctly?

Plug it in to a computer.
Boot into recovery if you have one
Adb devices......hopefully it shows and work from there.
Or boot into bootloader mode (after getting the twrp IMG)
Fastboot flash recovery......
Then you can side load your favorite OS
