Check out the video below of my attempt:

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
Vintiem
Have a look at first post in this thread - have you copied the two files?

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..

Hi folks! i can't download the drivers. it says that the sourcefile cannot be downloaded. i also tried the drivers from die sonyericsson homepage. is there any fix for my problem?
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

Hey.
So i just received my N7, first of all i want to get adb/fastboot working.
Enabled USB debugging, installed SDK (along with USB drivers from SDK).
After plugging USB my device was installed as "Google Nexus ADB Interface" under "Android Device".
Homever when i use "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" it's not detecing my N7.
Did i missed to install something?
Edit:
After connecting it as Camera (PTP) it's detected in ADB, but not in fastboot.
Edit2: Ok i figured everything out, unlocked and rooted already - fastboot / adb is working
And lastly will i be able to download official 4.4 OTA after unlocking my device and with root?

Are you booted into bootloader when you try fastboot?
I guess you figured out as I was replying.
Yes, you can use the ota, but you didn't need to unlock nor root for that. By unlocking you can additionally use the factory images and also can install root.

If you're wifi only (flo), build JSS15R, You can download the official 4.4 OTA right now.
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/data/ota/google_razor/3a3951e8243c82bc01a620ab858f4454c8ebd65c.signed-razor-KRT16O-from-JSS15R.3a3951e8.zip
Since you're rooted, you have a custom recovery. Download the 4.4 OTA on your Nexus 7, reboot into recovery, and have TWRP or CWM install the zip from sdcard (the same way you installed the superuser binaries when rooting).
I had the same problem where Nexus 7 2013 was not detected when booted into bootloader using adb in windows 8.1. I found a website called pdanet.com where I was able to get a USB driver that worked on windows 8.1 and detected OK.

Guys the problems with windows 8 and windows 8.1 are normally the usb 3.0 drivers. Intel have not posted windows 8 drivers for series 7 and series 8. You need to modify the windows 7 drivers with other inf files. I have done the job for you so you can manually install the drivers.
The intel series 7 64 bit can be installed from here:

If you need signed drivers for your phone download htc sync from the htc website or use my link :

Thanks for the info. I managed to get my Nexus 7 Flo Tablet to show up in "This PC" Last week. I don't even know how I did it (some combination of drivers worked), but when I went to add a new ROM today, it went missing again today...
I am running Win 8.1 on a Gigabyte Z68 MoBo.. This board has the Intel series 6 chip-set..,
Anyway, Would you happen to Have "The FIXED" Intel series 6 - 64 bit drivers for windows 8.1?
BTW....
Happy New Year To All! Mrwirez / Jim
Hi guys,
I'm trying to root an old HTC desire Z starting by unlocking the bootloader.
I've tried many drivers but none is working properly with adb (while on fastboot USB mode) on Windows 10.
Any help appreciated.
Hi,
I wouldn't use htc's method to unlock the bootloader, rather follow xda wiki, you will be much happier if you do

The above link will give you that and more, also should find links to various drivers, also try searching for universal naked drivers
