How to get Fastboot working in Windows 8 with the Xperia S? Somebody already got it working?
I installed PC Companion, Flashtool, Android SDK+adb. Everything works: I can connect through adb. Flashtools works in flashmode.
EXCEPT: fastboot...
Fastboot just won't see any device in Windows 8. How to fix this?
On my other computers/OSes it works without problems.

got the same problem on my xperia ray
I had this problem earlier.
Well windows 8 does allow unsigned fastboot drivers to get installed. I'm assuming u r installing drivers from file in flashtool folder.
Follow the procedure in This link to disable driver signatures.
Reboot system after procedure done, then install the fastboot drivers they should work fine.

Thank you, this method worked!
(Previously I disabled the driver enforcement through the command shell with 2 commands. But apparently that did not work.)
Hi
i tried with the metod above but it didn't work. can you help me? The phone enter in fasboot mode but after 5 seconds exit from it.
Solved: Use usb 2.0 port of your PC.

Please.. Need help.. I have 2 phone, one is Xperia Active (ST17) with stock GB 2.3.4 kernel and rom, and the other is Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) with EXtended stock kernel and ExMIUIv4 2.8.10 ROM from expeacer. My active is recognized as adb driver by windows xp everytime I plugged it in (USB Debug enabled), but everytime I plugged in my mini pro, windows doesn't recognized it as ADB driver (yes, USB Debug enabled), it only recognized as removable media. Looking into device manager, i found sk17i under other devices (screenshot attached). Thanks in advance...

But when it is recognized in fastboot mode it should normally work in adb, too. But for what do you need adb?
Maybe download adb drivers in this thread...

Thanks. I've tried the driver, but without success
I have also tried these:
- sdk/extras/google/usb_driver directory
- I tried installing PdaNetA302.exe
- I tried installing flashtool_drivers from doomlord
- I selected 'install from specific location' -> choose a driver -> 'Android Phone' but it had none listed and the aforementioned driver directories did not work either when I selected them as 'Have Disk' options.
- Following this guide
- I also tried uninstalling all related devices and do the whole connecting thing again, but without success.
Actually what i need is DDMS command inside android sdk for taking screenshots of my phone during recovery mode. But since DDMS use adb interface, then it wouldnt be possible to use DDMS if my phone doesn't recognized by adb isnt it?
Help please?

Is the phone running /sbin/adbd? Check with "ps".
Is the prop ("getprop") service.adb.tcp.port set to something?

Thanks for your advice, but apparently i dont need to do that.
I've just reinstall my windows xp sp3 and reconnect my phone. When driver for my phone was asked, i'm using flashtool driver from doomlord which i've extracted earlier using universal extractor.
But thanks again for all your attention... :good::good:

Me too...
I think is the USB port problem, because I've tried at my old upgraded win8 laptop with USB 2.0 port it works but at new win8 laptop with USB 3.0 port can't detect...
Also I've tried with a hub, but the flashtool detect my phone as flash mode although I'm connect it as fastboot mode...
thanks mate its working fine for me now that im on windows 8. :good:
this is a must have tutorial for windows 8 users
I had a problem with the connection, the solution was to disconnect the mouse from the computer when turning it on. If you have the same problem that all be separate from the computer and reboot it
My mouse: Gigabyte ECO500
Does anyone knows why it doesn't work on my laptop? There are no problems to install the drivers, but the phone doesn't become recognized. I have USB 3.0.

where i can see this option in cyanogen mod 7 ? i cant find it
Simplest solution - just don't use flashtool for fastboot. Download android-sdk and install platform-tools. Follow this guide from step 9 - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
It will 100% work.:good:
Also, you should have posted in the Q&A section.
its not working
installed android SDK, platform tools , copied android_winusb.ini .... but when i try to connect via fastboot it asks for drivers and i installed it but it says that i have latest drivers... its not workiiing (
can you send me better guide with screenshots or something like that ?
It worked in past good ... but now its not working
Okay, first maybe you want to delete your current flashtool, then just install latest flashtool version
Then check all the drivers and install it
If still not working, maybe you want to uninstall your current fastboot driver:
Right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then click Device Manager.
Right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
find S1Fastboot driver under other devices (i think... i forgot), right click and uninstall
After that just reinstall all the driver again from the fastboot folder
maybe it will work, correct me if im wrong
*)if still didn't work, just try to do it on other pc
in device manager , i cant find the s1fastboot driver ... isnt there but i installed all the drivers but they arent here
it works on other pc ... thanks .. but on this pc it dont work... on second pc i installed all drivers and it works... here i installed same drivers and it dont work

I think your phone should be connected to the pc to show it in device manager
I have installed Walkman Experience Elite ROM (4.0.4) and it shows kernel 3.0.8.
The problem is, I can not get into fastboot!
I turn it off, hold Vol+Up and plug in USB, but the blue LED appears only for a couple seconds, then goes off and the phone just continues charging.
I installed Android SDK stuff and I couldnt use it to fastboot CM10 boot.img. I tried Flashtool, AND I installed the drivers.
(Note in case it matters (don't think so): at first I downloaded fastboot drivers alone and installed, but after installing Flashtool those may have been newer drivers, I tried to install them too but it said I already have)
Even after installing the drivers my Xperia U showed no signs of working fastboot, and PC still couldn't recognize it in fastboot.
I had problems installing the drivers, as I found out - because of Windows 8.1, but I got through that.
Another question: Does Xperia U change from ST25a to ST25i depending on kernel/ROM or something? (I have ST25a)
Please help!
I tried to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447283
But at step 8 it doesn't recognize it as S1 fastboot device.

Guys, I have a xperia mini st15i device with CrDroid 4.4.4 KitKat Rom. Recently I tried to flash RR Lollipop roms Kernel on my device. But I failed to boot on fastboot mode over and over again. I have tried different cables, different usb even different pc's. But all the time i tried to connect it to usb cable holding volume up button the blue light( which is counted as a signal of fastboot mood) blinks once and phone went into charging mood. If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.
Guys please help me with this.what can i do now? what i am doing wrong? I am totally stucked with this since last few days.
