[Q] Unable to install fastboot drivers - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

When i plug in my phone into the computer and try to manually install the driver it always says that the driver was not found...
i have tried this even in the pc and laptop.

Did you follow the exact steps listed in the sticky in the development section, as well as the recommendation for alternate drivers?

If you are taking abut fastboot drivers try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554632
It worked fine for me.
If you are taking about general drivers I don't know, I just plugged the phone and they installed automatically.

ADB failing to install?

So I just got an Atrix and im trying to root it, however when I plug it in, after setting USB Mode to None and turning on the USB Debug, ADB drivers fail to install. It shows up in my device manager with a ! ontop of the icon, and windows tells me it cant find a driver. I manually downloaded the drivers but that still didnt help, my phone isnt making a connection of the bridge. Ive wiped everything everything motorola related, reinstalled the drivers manually, reinstalled the ADB driver manually, rebooted about 10 times and now im absolutely stuck.
Has anyone run into this before? Im going to try plugging the phone into my work computer today, but id like to be able to get this working on my home computer. I followed the guide thats available out there that tells you to run the driver installer and delete all the files it shows, and that didnt help either. Im on Windows 7 but i also have a laptop with Ubuntu available, however i couldnt find a rooting guide for linux so im not sure if that will help.

I got it sorted. Installed the ADB driver manually (choosing the regular adb driver NOT the composite driver) and then ran super one click to start the ADB service. Then once the phone was connected, ran aroot and it worked.

Problems with MTP USB Device

I plug my phone into a USB port.
The first time I did so, an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
The LG United Drivers are installed onto my computer great.
But then an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
My computer attempts to install MTP USB Driver, but fails. According to Windows, the device is unplugged.
The AutoPlay window reappears. Repeat from the beginning of the paragraph.
What have I done to deserve such trouble, LG?!?!
Apparently the drivers installed directly from phone are not enough. In any case, I was observing similar behaviour *until* I installed LG PC Suite (which you should have been prompted to do too). It's stupid, it sucks but again, it's LG.
Install the LG drivers first. After that, when you plug your phone, it will be recognised as an mtp device.
Have you got Windows Media Player installed?

I do. Same problems.
Plug the phone, go to device manager in windows and uninstall the driver for the phone( or whatever shows up with the yellow triangle). Then unplug the phone and connect it back again. It should work. If not, uninstall the lg drivers and clean every trace of them and start from the begining.

Tried uninstalling the LG U2 USB Driver, then disconnected and reconnected phone. Same problem. LG U2 USB Driver was installed but MTP USB still shows up as unplugged.
Then uninstalled LG PC Suite and LG United Mobile Driver, reinstalled LG PC Suite and reconnected phone. Problem still occurs. I run LGAutoRun.exe and United Mobile Drivers are installed. Same problem. MTP USB shows up as "device unplugged" and phone keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to computer, saying drivers were not properly installed due to MTP USB being unplugged.
Interesting to note the phone is listed as a CD-ROM drive.

Install the software from the CD image. It will load the correct driver. After this re-connect the device and the CD image will show up for a few seconds and disappear. After this the storage will show up. That is how it worked on my device.

I have already tried what you said as I posted before. The LG United Mobile driver gets installed but the MTP USB Driver does not get installed due to the device being unplugged according to Windows, even though I have yet to disconnect the phone from the computer. The phone still says "Connected as an installer".
The phone is recognized as an F: Drive by Windows but LGE Mobile but keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 20 seconds or so.
I am going to have to upload a video to YouTube to make things crystal clear.

Try a different USB port or cable. My P769 would not work on my USB 3 ports, but was happy on the USB 2 port. I had already installed the drivers and LG PC Suite and it picked up each mode just fine.
Plugging the phone into USB 2.0 makes the phone show up in portable devices, but LG Suite fails to identify the phone. I tried using both LGE Android Net MTP USB Device and MTP USB Device but they both fail. I have LG United Drivers and LG Suite installed already.
got thesame problem here mate..i search all over here and google the driver but still cant find any solution..this is so frustrating to fix this issue,,got install and uninstall the pc suite and driver many times but still cant get the solution..so what could be the fix????
no one can suggest..someone told me that maybe its causing the broken data cable but i have 3 cables now..
everytime i intend to install the MTP driver thing my pc always failed to do so,,saying that the filename,directory name or syntax label is incorrect..but i manually direct the search to lg driver folder but same error occurs..or there still other alternative apps that can transfer files without removing my sd to my phone,or atleast transfer files over the wifi..??
Any fix for this one? Already tried uninstalling, installing LG drivers, removed and reinserted SD card and everything. But still to no avail. It installs everything successfully EXCEPT USB MTP device which is the one I needed the most. Any solutions? Thanks!

You must be on 64 bit windows. Not even on 64bit, Still try this...
1) Uninstall LG Drivers, LG PC Suite and anything you see named LG. Restart PC.
2) Install latest LG Driver from this post (step 4)
3) Install Optional MTP Driver from this post (step 4)
4) Open Windows Device Manager (just to watch whats happening.)
5) Disconnect Internet (To avoid stupid online WDM drivers)
6) Connect phone with Usb and let drivers install automatically. Give it some time to install drivers keeping watch on Device Manager window.
7) Keep changing USB connect modes to all modes one-by-one on Phone and let drivers install.
You should see MTP drivers installed now. If this does not help, cant think of anything else. If this works, press THANKS button
EDIT: Connect USB at backside of pc, directly to USB on pc motherboard.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me mate. Already tried literally everything on what you just said above. Still no. I tried it on my brother's old vista laptop. One connect and it worked instantly! Lol.

[Q] [Xperia GO ST27i]USB not recognized after CM9 installation

Well here's the problem which is quite awkward.
I installed CM9 on my Sony Xperia GO from freexperia project. It worked really great. :good:
the issues is, however, after 3rd time I installed CM9 (I was trying to get CM10 FXP on this device), my PC won't recognize the USB device( i.e. my phone). I am pretty sure I followed all the steps, I wiped the phone after installation everytime. I have MTP (setting>storage>MTP).
I have all the drivers re-installed on my laptop (running on Windows 7). I have tried another USB cable as well. tried all the USB ports.. but I can't make this machine recognize my phone.
and please considering my expertise level, start from level 0.
a big thanks in advance!!

Try with latest flashtool mate. Connect your phone with USB debugging activated and from flashtool go: Devices-> check drivers. Could work.
No, didn't work

Did you try connecting your phone on fastboot mode and install drivers from control panel?
Yes, but there is no prompt for missing drivers

I tried to connect phone in fastboot and flashboot mode, however, there was no notification for missing drivers. Only the blue light on phone turned to red after sometime ( and green for flashboot mode). I had similar problem earlier as well (not the same one), back then the PC used to show that driver was missing for fastboot. I simply used to go to flashtood>Driver folder and used to install the drivers. It worked earlier. Not anymore though.
Could there be possibility that I messed up (during installation somehow) some phone file which accounts for connectivity with the system?
do you or anyone know which files in phone are responsible for such functioning?
USB not responding
Have you tried using a different USB-port on your PC?
Under Windows XP i have to reinstall all drivers when connecting a device to a different USB jack.
sorry for later reply

I think I tried everything. The weird thing is that the same system with same USB with same port sometimes reads the USB driver. but, when I restart the phone in bootloader mode, it doesn't recognize the drivers again. However, this sometimes is very rare, since the last message, perhaps 2 or 3 times.
Could it be possible that there have been any hardware issue?

USB Drivers

Hello,
I rooted my phone about a year and a half ago, since then I haven't been able to get its USB drivers to work so I can't do anything with it on my computer and I'm stuck with 2.3.6 touchwiz.
I have tried everything, including different computers/usb cords/usb ports. I got the usb port replaced, have tried installing the drivers on my computer using kies and directly.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers several times. Each time it tells me the driver install failed, but when I try again it recognizes that the drivers are installed. When I try installing drivers manually windows doesn't find them in the installation folder. I'm using windows 7 64bit.

What does the device manager say your device is? Like, whats the name it pulls up? and what is the error for not starting?
Have you messed with putting the phone in diagnostics mode ?

Computer won't recognize while in Download mode only

Using Windows 10 x64 with drivers freshly installed
GT-I9001, Firmware 2.3, Factory reset performed and drivers unistalled/reinstalled
Been searching for hours on this and can't get it to work. Captivate will connect to computer normally and allow file transfers. But when I try to put in download mode, the computer won't recognize it. I get a popup window that says USB device not recognized.
I'm trying to restore back to complete stock because I'm having random shut downs and other misc issues. I was trying to us Odin to do it but it doesn't recognize the phone. So I powered up the phone, started Odin, then plugged the phone in...Odin sees the phone now but of course needs it in Download mode to work...so I get ADB and while the phone is connected, powered up, and recognized by Odin, I put it in download mode using "adb reboot download". The command put the phone into download mode but then Odin lost contact the the bubble appeared again saying it wasn't recognized.
I've completely removed all the samsung drivers, shut down computer, reinstalled all the drivers, shut down the computer, plugged the phone into the computer and watch to see that all drivers were installed correctly and the computer recognizes the phone...
So it all works EXCEPT while in download mode...any ideas?
I've tried different USB cords but don't have another computer to try on...
I would say you should try Samsung kies, let them install drivers. Then use download mode.
