S1 Boot Download and SEMC HSUSB Device driver

Hi everyone
Since i updated firmware from .42 to .62 via flashtool, i've got a weird behaviour when i plug my phone in Flash mode.
It's recognized as S1 boot download with a yellow triangle thingy, i installed usb flash drivers, now it's with SEMC Flash Device as hardware, then after 30s-1min it reboots and turns to SEMC HSUSB Device, a mass storage entity.
Can you help me fix this so i can access fastboot?
I reverted back to .42 via wotan, erase all drivers with usbdeview, plug it back, nothing works. I surely did something wrong but i can't spot it.
Tried on another pc, same behavior. Something's missing/corrupt in the phone.

i have a similiar problem, i cant access fastboot, message waiting for device, in device manager i cant install the driver cause it tells me not found.
Any Idea?

I was having strange problems when trying to install the drivers on a windows 7 PC. i had to install GordansGate drivers but it still didnt work. I ended up installing PDAnet or something and it installed all the correct drivers for me and using the latest version of flashtool i can do everything from there (flashtool, fastboot, adb)

i tried so much, but it wont recognize the driver -.- dont know what to do, every time when i try it with device manager->S1BootFastboot->install driver it tells me that my drivers directory are not the right drivers -.-

install this and run through the setup carefully and follow each step. this fixed my driver (not recognizing device) problems on my desktop

hope this solves your problems because i was going mad with mine for ages

ok solved my problem by installing flashtool and the flashtool drivers. now everything works fine

Hey! I have the same problem on my Mini.
When connecting, Device manager says "S1boot ..." and the icon has yellow triangle, but then it changes to "SEMC Flash Device"
Fastboot gives "<waiting for device>"
What Flashtool version have you had when you installed it's drivers?
Did you add that .inf file from SE site?

Flashtool drivers problem

Hi everyonen, i just hard resetted my pc and just installed back flashtool 0.9.5.
I installed the driver that were in its driver folder, i also let pc companion install them but everytime i connect my Arc S (Debug USB ON and MSC), flashtool dosent reconize my Arc cause of the driver, infact if i check the device connected to pc, the arc is shown as without driver. so i tried to manual install them from it and it failed. few months are passed since first time i did it did i forgot something?

Just plug in your arc, go to your Flashtool folder and install them straight from there [With your device connected]
Kudos!

already did, also through pc companion and manual but i continue to get this
15/011/2012 10:11:26 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
15/011/2012 10:11:26 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
Now when its on it reconize him, but when i turn it into fastboot mode to flash the kernel it gives me the error again

Could someone post the download link for the latest flash tool?

So I'm gonna try and root an LT18i. Do I install the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, .... drivers and Flashmode and Fastboot drivers? Also, I heard that for flash tool to work, PC Companion and other Sony applications shouldn't be present on the PC. Correct?

if drivers are not installed properly.. Start Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 in "Disabled Driver Sginature Mode" (Google this if you don't know how)
if you think drivers are installed correctly.. then do one think cuz I also face the same issue.. Don't connect the Device and then try to FLash by the electric signal..
first select the firmware .. click ok.. then let the software tell u.. to connect the Device.. do that and it should work !! let us know.

Drivers are "SEMC Flash Device" for "S1Boot Fastboot". And when i try to load kernel first when device is disabled it gives me this.

Emma software from Sony works well for recovery my phone to original ROM and Kernel.

Maybe "back" button is stuck. Can you boot into android (doesn't matter is it custom rom or official firmware)
Also, try different usb port or different usb cable
Untill you found a solution you can flash custom kernels in .ftf format (you can flash them in flash mode)

I dont think the "back" button is stucked. Cuz when i power off phone and holding back button and connect it gives me Green LED and when Search button its gives me Blue LED. Problem is not in phone but in Flashtool. If I have flash mode on phone devices shows me "S1Boot Flashmode" when fastboot "S1Boot Fastboot". I tryied all usb ports on my PC and 4 USB Cables (1 Original from XPlay and 3 others from different samsung phones) and Yea I can boot into android, and i tryied flash custom kernels in .ftf format but its always brick my phone and I must use Emma software for Revive the phone . Sorry my english is very bad

Yeah, it looks like phone is ok
Try to uninsatll all related drivers from PC (go to device manager, righ-click on driver, then "uninstall"). Do it when for all 3 modes (flash, normal and fastboot mode)
Then disconnect and connect phone again.
Or choose to manually install drivers for
Or reinstall flashtool

Go to ''device manager'' in your computer; see if your device drivers are normal; even if it is, I would recommend a complete reinstall of all drivers and programs xperia related. Tell me, are you using Windows 8? If yes, you should now that Windows 8 doesn't install drivers correctly, at least flashtool drivers.

Windows doesn't detect Z1C in flashmode

Hi
I want to flash a system through Flashtool to my Xperia Z1 Compact. I've installed the drivers and connected the phone in flash mode. But Windows says that "USB device is not recognized". In devices manager the Xperia is showed as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I tried to connect to another usb ports or with other usb cables. I also tried to update drivers of USB Hubs (by clicking on them and selecting Update driver). I also tried to install the drivers straight from Sony Developer Site. I also installed Xperia Companion. Nothing helps.
Repairing software via Xperia Companion is impossible because of that.
I tried to install drivers again for at least 5 times. After that installer says this:
Sony (WinUSB) sa0109AdbDeviceClass 05/13/2013 2.0.0010.30018 - Ready to use
Sony Net (5/13/2013 6.0.6000.16501 - Not need (no devices to update)
Google, Inc. (WinUSB) AndroidUSBDeviceClass (12/06/2010 4.0.0000.00000 - Ready to use
Sony Mobile Communications (ggsomc) USB (11/10/2014 3.1.0.0) - Ready to use
It's weird because my other Xperia (Xperia L) is recognized without any problems.
Is there any solution to that problem other than installing a clean copy of Windows?
Computer Specification (maybe useful):
Windows 10 Home 1803 64-bit
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
GeForce 1060 Ti
AsRock B450 Fatl1ty Gaming K4
8 GB RAM

I installed drivers on Windows 10 as well. When I connected the device and entered in the power shell
Code:
./adb.exe devices
it answered: "List of devices attached", "daemon started successfully" and showed my device.
With
Code:
./adb.exe reboot bootloader
I put it in fastbood modus and the problems began.
If I understand correctly, that's the same state, you were in.
My solution was that the driver for fastboot was wrong. I downloaded an updated version for fastboot from Sony Website.
The driver was unsigned, therefor I had to go into Windows UEFI (new Bios) to enable installation of unsigned drivers... (at own risk)
When I installed this second driver, the device was recognised in power shell, when I typed in commands with:
Code:
./fastboot.exe
and also with flashtool.

Hey there, same problem with my Ryzen system as well. Something with the motherboard drivers or the USB drivers that are not updated to work with these new boards.
As you explained, adb and fastboot works, but flashmode detection is broken.
Flashmode still gets detected on my Surface Pro 4 and ThinkPad T450s.
