[Q] Fastboot driver problem - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a huge problem and I don't know what to do anymore. I try to access fastboot mode on my Xperia Play, so I can flash ICS kernel, I did usual stuff, followed the guides, watches few videos on youtube, now I am stuck on part where I have to install drivers manually.
So basicly I go to device manager, select S1boot, update, select driver... And after I do that, every single time it says that Windows could not find driver software for your device.
I tried downloading many different drivers, I tried many combinations in pointing them like:
C:\Users\T-N-Z\Desktop\Fastboot\fastboot\Drivers\x64
or just
C:\Users\T-N-Z\Desktop\Fastboot\fastboot\Drivers\
etc..
I am on Windows 8 RTM Pro. I had similar issue in Windows 7, but it fixed itself randomly :/
I also installed Android SDK and Android USB drivers from it..
I tried installing fastboot driver with flashtool, but I believe it installs wrong driver, S1boot gets renamed to SEMCFLASH or something called like that, and after that my Xperia Play won't stay in fastboot mode, so I can't do anything.
Please help me out, what am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Ok, I have disabled driver thingie on Windows 8 and installed your package files. Now drivers says that I have Android ADB interface, but... When I boot into fastboot mode, after some time it just turns offs and phone starts charging process.
Maybe it needs to be fully charged or something before I can do anything or what?

It just started working for no reason again... Don't know what I've done differently this time but it works now. Thanks for help.

LTE Nexus Waiting for Device error

I'm going crazy here. I'm good with all this type of stuff but nothing is working. I want to return my phone to stock so I can exchange it for a new one at verizon. I keep getting the waiting for device error in fastboot. I had this problem a lot with trying to unlock it too. I'm not sure how I ever got it to work. I've downloaded and installed the drivers multiple times and still nothing. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong please?
I'm using windows 7 64bit. The drivers aren't right in device manager.
The drivers are fishy in windows 7 64bit. Download PDA net to your computer. It will install drivers correctly. Sounds weird but it works.

I've certainly noticed that they are pretty messed up on Windows 7. Unfortunately I've already done that and it still doesn't work.
Reboot your computer and plug the phone in and let the drivers try to install automatically, worked for me.
So I installed the driver a different way and it worked fine this time. I'm not really sure why I never tried that way before or why that way worked differently but it did! Thanks for the suggestions.
In what way did you install it? I'm having the same problem and it would be nice for search purposes.
i had issues with drivers on win7 64x, first, it would take for ever once the phone was plugged in, for windows to initially auto-install the drivers (after installing the ones from samsung)....a very long time. but, even after 3/4 of it installed correctly, i hadn't noticed that the Android 1.0 drivers didn't install at all. If you goto control panel->system->device manager, see if there is an alert next to 'Android', if so, open it, choose to manually install the drivers, but don't select a location on your hd, use the list of available drivers already on the computer, find 'samsung', and select the drivers that come up (again, had to download samsung drivers from their site and install that First)
this fixed the issue for me. and nothing like a good ol' reboot too to fix random windows issues : )

[Q] samsung drivers wont install

hey.
i followed the guide for rooting my galaxy nexus.
driver installation was alright, and then i switched to fastboot mode (green android) and then the device manager didn't recognize my gn (unknown device).
tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, tried "updating" it with various rar files i found on this forum and ofcourse i tries pdanet.
none of them worked. it was always unknown device.
then i had no choice and i removed the battery to boot it normal.
suggestions? thnaks
After installation, plug in your phone, look at your system tray for the USB icon, click it. It should show a status of installing more drivers. This can take awhile, and for a lot of people it seems to fail the last step, Android 1.0 drivers. Open control panel, system, device manager. Look for a yellow error icon. Click that, choose to install drivers manually and locally. Then select 'choose from list', find Samsung.
That should get you back on track

Were you able to unlock the bootloader? If you didn't do this, don't go installing any driver... be very careful. If you install the wrong driver in device manager, you'll screw it up. I installed the wrong driver on my main computer and I couldn't get the device manager to even recognize the phone :| I couldn't locate the right driver either because once I installed the driver, it renamed it. It was a huge pain and the only way I got this to work was by using a different PC with the correct drivers.
I have found this to be the best instructions for unlocking the bootloader. Most importantly, it includes directions on how to gain access to adb on your phone properly. Take your time and follow the instructions exactly...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i followed one of the main guides on this forum.
it says to install the pdanet drivers and then boot to fastmode via the volume buttons.
once i got into fastboot, the device was unrecognizable.
when i was still in normal boot, the device was recognized and it was all right. and yeah i turned usb debugging on.
how can i unlock the bootloader without installing drivers?
thanks

silly question, but after booting to fastboot, you are using the fastboot.exe, and not adb? if you type "fastboot devices" does anything show up?
no, nothing shows up.
and thats clearly because the driver is not installed correctly.. i see a yellow sign in device manager.
what am i doing wrong? only thing i was different from the guide is that instead of typing adb reboot bootloader, i got into fastboot by pressing the volume buttons.

click open that yellow unrecognized device...manually choose drivers (don't do auto), and select from the list, you'll see samsung, choose the driver
that should install android 1.0...alot of people have gotten this error.
edit: another thing to keep in mind is, after installing the drivers, and fixing the device in device manager, it can still take a little bit to initialize. in your system tray there should be a usb icon, open that to see when the drivers are done
I am in the same boat. I tried for hours on 2 different Windows 7 laptops (both 64bit). I am trying to get Yakju from one of the derivitives (without unlocking the device).
Steps taken:
- Dloaded Samsung USB driver 1.4.6 & Installed: Did not recongnize in explorer or Odin (even Odin did not show a thing)
- Dladed PDA Net A302x64: Did not recognize in explorer or Odin.
Both times the GN is in Device/Printers and listed as having Android 1.0 driver. I try to manually update, but cannot seem to find driver in list (as it just has Android 1.0 driver listed). Any suggestions?
i didnt even see the "Android 1.0".. just "unknown device" all along..
i also tried on a different computer.. same issue.
about manually installing the driver.. i tried pointing him to a manual driver package i got from this forum.. it said its the same driver..
when im searching for "samsung" on the list, i dont see a relevant driver.
Well, i've saw someone else on here who was having driver issues, who also had installed both samsung & pda drivers...
uninstall both.
fresh install ONLY the naked drivers directly off samsungs website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/verizon-wireless/SCH-I515MSAVZW -- if you're verizon, if not, you can search there). Do the install. Plug the phone in, it will start to install its usual crap. this is the long part. then, it will fail like you saw before. in device manager, you'll see the unrecognized device. Open, it will ask you to find drivers, choose "Browse", "Let Me Pick From a List", "Samsung", and then pick the driver with the date 11/25/2011
check to see if there are any other unrecognized devices in device manager, just to be sure you got em all. at this point, plugging in your phone should show the USB connected icon in the system tray. do you see this? If you click it does it say "Eject MTP"?

[Q] Unrecognized Device only in hboot/fastboot

Let me say beforehand that I am a lifetime lurker. I would not be posting here if I hadn't already spent at least two days scouring the web for an answer.
My HTC Desire HD cannot connect to HTC Sync, but it can connect as a storage device, and can be seen by adb. Whenever it connects while in hboot/fastboot, it will flicker "USB" a few times before Windows tell me it's not recognized (Device failed enumeration code 43). This includes using the RUU wizard from HTC. That will just make it stick on "RUU" in the bootloader.
I have tried every driver download suggested on this site. I have switched USB cables three times (all htc cables). I have used two seperate computers (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1).
I'll admit I'm a nooby specifically to Androids. All I want to do is flash new ROMs/root my device. As far as I know this is step one, and I can't go any further until I've unlocked my bootloader.
EDIT: SOLVED
HTC Desire HD drivers really hates Windows 8 and 8.1. Installed Windows 7 32-bit and it worked just fine.
That error can be a pain in the ass. I have it as well. I believe disabling griver signature enforcement in win8 (it's your OS, isn't it?) should allow installing adb drivers, but I was too lazy to check it. As a workaround I instead flash the boot.img in bootloader by putting it to PD98IMG.zip
I can upload you a template, leave the txt in it and replace the boot.img with your desired one, choose store (none) compression level, then put the zip directly (don't use folders) in sd card
EDIT: I didn't fully read your post before. If you don't have S-OFF most probably you can't get away without adb drivers..
Turned off device signing. No effect.
Have you tried now manually installing drivers in device manager while the phone is in unrecognized state? Does it still say the drivers are incompatible?
If your OS is 64bit, you need these http://d-h.st/23V
I have those drivers. I installed them manually. I tried the updating the drivers through device manager and pointing them directly to the drivers folder I need, and Windows is insistent that not having ANY drivers installed is the best driver to have installed for my device.
I am getting a pop up saying that the device is failing to to start. It's not like other usb devices I might have plugged in and they just sit there in at least their correct category in device manager.
The part that ticks me off most, is that this exact problem on this exact model has been solved on three different forums, and each time the OP just said "nvm I fixed it" and never even bothered to explain how for the rest of us.
It's really hard not to curse right now.
in device manager update dialog goto
browse my computer --> let me pick --> have disk --> choose the .inf from the drivers path.
Ya, I had tried that too. None of them will work. It says the file I chose doesn't have compatible software for my device.
Once again, this only happens in the hboot/fastboot/RUU. Once the phone has loaded the OS it works totally completely fine, save for HTC Sync not seeing the phone and vice versa. I don't understand why some drivers would only work sometimes unless something is wrong with my bootloader, and if so, how do i fix it?
have you tried un-installing HTC SYNC?

@smoger:
I would try your workaround, but I' m not sure where to obtain the boot image I need. Also, I thought you could only change the S-Off if your bootloader was unlocked anyways?
Power down DHD and connect it to PC. I realized, my win7 was installing drivers, while phone was off.

It appears to be the same device/drivers when powered off or when in the Android environment. While in the bootloader, it shows as an unknown device.
I also noticed that only when I am trying to update via RUU, it says instead "Device Descriptor Request Failed"

The boot.img is in the ROM-zip-file packed. But I think, if its a RUU it is called PD98...img
Try this, I know its from Samsung, but this installs fastboot drivers and drivers used for ADB access

For the set of Google Drivers, go here too http://d-h.st/23V
My drivers list does not show the Google or HTC drivers like yours does after installing all the things in your links. In fact, that's the fourth time I've downloaded those Google/HTC Win7 64x drivers from people around the web. They are not in my drivers list after installing them via the INF files. I must be doing something wrong.

To be exact I have:
Tried HTC Sync
Tried HTC Drivers Installer
Tried to Automatically search for drivers
Tried to install drivers by using the inf Install option
Tried to manually select drivers by pointing to the folder the Win7 64x drivers were placed
Tried to manually install by picking out the exact inf files
Tried to install from device drivers list, were they were not listed
Tried these steps with driver signing turned off
Tried all of these steps with another PC
I still think the issue is related to the fact that it only has problems in the bootloader menu
Ok, like u know I had this issue. Now I randomly managed to fix it when I needed adb drivers for my new toy (Sanei tablet for 40$ lol)
The mistake I was making is that I was trying to install the drivers while device was in fastboot, but apparently you can get away with casual "My HTC" drivers which can be installed when DHD is booted into Android. It looks likethe phone is not being detected from bootloader (it doesn't like any of the drivers I had tried), but I can fully use ADB while it's in recovery or starting/trying to boot OS, so it should be enough for rooting/unlocking bootloader.
I remember with HTC Wildfire I had drivers package with seperate drivers for Android and fastboot, so I had to install different driver after rebooting to fastboot, but with these new drivers and win8 it doesn't work out this way.
Solved. Used Windows 7 32-bit. Windows 8.1 was the culprit.

If you want helpful responses you have to be more specific. Assuming you have the fastboot files installed on your PC/laptop ... What LG G4 model? What software version? Bootloader Unlocked? etc.
Assuming you have installed on your PC/laptop LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0 available for download from the LG US site as the Windows driver can create issues, have you tried downloading and installing the "Official" TWRP app and installing that way?

Don't allow Windows 10 to update your drivers - you can set that up in Windows. Google it for the how-to.

The device type changes depending on "how" its connected. Windows can "see" it as a ADB device, MODEM, etc...
With the phone connected, uninstall all device related on windows device manager, refresh the device manager for it to detect the phone as it should be (as you need it to be detected).
Sometimes its needed a manual device driver install. Happens some times to me, unfortunately I don't remember exactly how I do it because the issues (when it happens) are kind of random, so, I need to "understand" what is going wrong and fix it.
Just to tell you that is nothing unfixable on the procedure, you just need to have patience and find out how windows is supposed to detect your device.
If you don't find out by yourself, tomorrow (Monday), I'll try to see on mine how it should be detected in fastboot mode and tell you. Today its already late for me...
Good luck

Your device should be seen as "LGE Android Phone" (if your lg drivers are good).
Now gonna be tricky because my OS is in Portuguese, I don''t know exactly the path name in English... use your imagination
Connect the device on a USB 2 Port !!!
In windows device manager, select "update driver", "search software on the computer", "allow to choose from a list of avalable drivers". unmark the "compatible hardware" and find on the list the needed drivers. If the "LGE" drivers don't work, try to download Universal ADB Drivers, maybe it works.

I'm thinking it could be a corrupted LG driver. Download another from the LG US site, ONLY. Uninstall the one you have installed now, reboot and install the newly downloaded one. Then connect your phone and see if it is recognized and shown correctly in Windows Device Manager. Also, in adb type lsusb and see if the phone is listed in the output.

Question F3 TWRP fastboot not detecting Win11

My ADB works fine but not getting a fastboot devices detect for TWRP fastboot.
I also see driver missing in device manager on Win11 but none of various versions of Google ADB, Xiaomi, etc drivers I have tried seem to match the hardware it thinks its detecting
It did work prior with stock recovery fastboot.
Prior there was some Win 11 driver signing issue for fastboot drivers.. But I have Shift rebooted and disabled driver signature enforcement, which was what worked last time, but its not helping with TWRP.
Anything obvious to suggest here ??
Poco F3 with TWRP cant detect fastboot.
windows 11 is still on its embryonic stage expect some bugs and compatibility issue, try reinstalling all drivers of your poco f3 but before that, you need to disable driver signature enforcement before reinstalling drivers search on google on how to disable this matter
I have done that though.. Rebooted with driver signature turned off (thats what worked last time) and added / removed phone.. rebooted phone.. Tried manually reinstalling same drivers, new drivers, searching for drivers, etc..
Can TWRP need any different driver pairing than the stock recovery drivers ??
Worked straight away when stock.

I have done that though.. Rebooted with driver signature turned off (thats what worked last time) and added / removed phone.. rebooted phone.. Tried manually reinstalling same drivers, new drivers, searching for drivers, etc..
Can TWRP need any different driver pairing than the stock recovery drivers ??
Worked straight away when stock.

My ADB works fine but not getting a fastboot devices detect for TWRP fastboot.
I also see driver missing in device manager on Win11 but none of various versions of Google ADB, Xiaomi, etc drivers I have tried seem to match the hardware it thinks its detecting
It did work prior with stock recovery fastboot.
Prior there was some Win 11 driver signing issue for fastboot drivers.. But I have Shift rebooted and disabled driver signature enforcement, which was what worked last time, but its not helping with TWRP.
Anything obvious to suggest here ??
Poco F3 with TWRP cant detect fastboot.

Have you tried to install the drivers present on the miflash program with the Windows driver signature disabled? If that doesn't work either, I think the problem is your win 11. I tried win 11 last month and with those drivers and sdk platform tools the phone was well recognized in fastboot

Will give this a go..
Can I 'update driver' and point it at the file folder or does this need re-installing the miflash app ?

you could try, however miflash doesn't need installation you just need to unzip it. you can also try to change USB port better if rear and 2.0
Strange I thought I replied in here this morning..
Anyway.. Got it going.. Disabled driver checking.. Then forced 'from disk' and manually pushed it to use the xiaomi drivers.. It wouldnt auto detect or even find the drivers when pointed at the disk, btu the prior install version worked and now both adb and fastboot working even when booted with driver checking on.

then it was definitely a problem in the driver.
