FastBoot on Windows 10 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I have been struggling to install fastboot drivers on Windows 10 for my Phone (D6503) for almost a month now.
I tried many of the options suggested here like disabling Driver signature enforcement, using the drivers they suggested, etc etc but nothing has worked yet.
Sony Flashtool only recognizes ADB and not Fastboot.
Request for your inputs on this.
Thank you!

Are you using latest version of flashtool? I had this problem with the old version and then I installed drivers by disabling driver signature enforcement. Now it works fine.

I did try that, and it installs successfully (even with the old version) but FlashTool does not recognize the device in Fastboot when I do a "Check Drivers" in tool and cmd prompt as well. Am I missing something here?
What is the Device Manager entry for Z2 Fastboot mode ? (For ADB, I get sa111 or so)
Thanks!

Are you holding volume down as you plug in the usb cable?

Yup.
It was a noob error on my part. I thought it will show both ADB and Fastboot devices simultaneously.
Now the Device Manager shows 'Sony Fastboot Device' upon connecting it in Fastboot mode. Hopefully I can now root it without any more problems.
Thanks!

Heh, we're all a noob at some point

btw, another similar bug is when you use FlashTools "Fastboot Restart" option, or Fastboot boot into recovery.
Sometimes your Device get's stuck!
You see the blue LED on the device but your device won't be seen by the computer.
Only way to solve this error is by using another USB port on the computer.

Does anyone still have this file available to download? [Drivers] FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack (v1.5) Seems DoomLords links are no longer valid. Thank you in advance

Try reinstall drivers and try different USB port.

how can i install drivers without connecting device?
I solved the problem)
1) Open device manager in windows
2) Connect usb cable to your phone pushing vol up button
3) Device manager will show you fastboot device for 2-3 sec (before the phone go to charge mode) Right click on fastboot device and install drivers from C:\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
4) Reconnect usb cable pushing volup button
I have the same problem but I dont know if cuz my PC is way too slow. I dont even have a chance for it to show up But I know it connected cuz of the alert sound.
---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------
Haha I solved my problem by installing the driver in safe mode. Things went much quicker here )
The solution that worked for me was:
Keep the Device Manager open
Connect the phone and quickly choose to change driver
Disconnect the phone again (because it goes into normal mode)
Choose to install a driver from the computer, choose "All devices" and "have disk".
Browse to the folder with the .inf
Now, before clicking Next, connect the phone again and quickly hit Next.
I think it took me two hours of googling and trial before I could finally get a custom ROM installed...

...which was enormously helpful. Thanks!! (Can't push the thanks button as I don't have enough posts yet.
BTW, I used the method with the Xperia Go, so obviously the method is not limited to a particular model.
It works
Really helpful!
Hey
I can't even know where will the fastboot device appear to change driver. What can I do? My sola goes in charge mode very quickly I plugged my usb cable in almost 100 times and tried everything.
Okay, I'm totally lost. When I hold volume down button "s1boot download" appers in device manager, but it can't install a proper driver. I know I need s1boot fastboot and hold volume up button but it doesn't appears. Only the portable device with an H:/ partition
Make sure phone is OFF
While plugging in the USB cable, hold and keep holding the UP VOLUME key
You will hear a system sound played
Do all these while you have Device Manager on screen
Exclamation mark appears on the ADB driver icon
Chose the option to look for the driver in your hard disk - point to where the drivers are.
If using Win8 then you need to disable signing of drivers first (search on net how to)
So far you managed to do this or not?

Hey, nothing is working for me. I did the steps above, but with no chance to install any driver. At the driver manager, the s1boot fastboot-thing is showing up for some seconds and then disappear. i can't change the driver or install the new one.
Any suggestions? I want to change to cm9 so much, because the stock rom really sucks...it is slow and buggy
Edit: I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554632 and it works for me!!!
Edit 2: It seems, that you have to do this steps everytime you flash the boot.img to the phone.
I did everything. I installed the driver but when I hold volume up while plug in usb, the led does not turn to BLUE. It turns pink or purple, some kind of colour. What should I do guys? I've gone mad.
Thanks

help someone??:crying::crying:
Doesnt work for me either. I tried everything for hours, but i only see a purple LED for a few seconds and then the phone mode changes into charging.
All drivers are installed.
Flashtool doesnt recognize the Sola either.
Is there a way to flash a recovery without having the Sola bootloader unlocked?
Greetings
still no fastboot
device manager opened
phone off, holding vol. up plugging in usb
NOTHING happens on computer no sound, device manager doesn't refreshes, no purple led on the phone, just enters charging quickly
tried another usb port
tried to enter fastboot from flashtool,
tried to enter with command adb reboot bootloader / adb reboot fastboot
NOTHING happens just reboots normally
So I don't have a clue what's going on there, may the fastboot disappeard or broken?
BUT I used the fastboot for a couple weeks ago in this computer in this usb port, since that I tried some rom does it matter?

Solution
For those who still dont get it to work by "Nerre's" method.
The procedure will be same. You have to download latest android_winusb.inf file. I couldnt get it to work bcz of this. I was using the file from sony site. It was giving me some certificate error. Then I used the lates file downloaded from sdk kit. Then this procedure worked.
Make sure to choose "Android Boot loader Interface" after you select ...winusb.inf file. Then before clicking next, reconnect your device in fastboot mode.
Hope this helps someone.

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.

[Q] Unlock bootloader, please help

Hi everybody,
I've been searching on forums, tried multiple solutions but nothing helps. Though I'm familiar with all this, I'm just stuck on one point which makes all this unlocking process very frustrating. My phone is a Xperia P (JB) and I went to Sony's dev page in order to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately, even if my phone is eligible for unlocking, I just cannot pass one of the point: fastboot mode.
Basically, when I power on, vol up, fastboot mode is enabled for a few seconds only (led) then disconnects from my device manager and stays with an amber (orange) led on. I just can't have my phone stay in fastboot mode. Same if I go with the command line adb reboot bootloader...
After looking for this problem on various forums, I've tried to update the drivers to (S1 fastboot) found on multiple posts, didn't help. I thought it was a problem with my PC (Win 7_64) so I tried with a fresh install in 32bits on another disk, didn't help. Tried even with Win 8 64 and 32, no chance... USB debbuging is on.
Is anyone experiencing the same problem or has anyone a solution for this? I'm just getting mad by not being able to unlock it.
Hi! I think that the driver is not properly installed! Another site I found this description to see if it helps!
Install Sony Xperia (P / U / Sola / Go) Driver and fastboot in Windows 7
Sony Xperia Driver Installation
Go to Setting > Development
Check USB Debugging
connect Xperia (P / U / Sola / Go) to PC / laptop

Right Click on SEMC HUSB (it should have a yellow triangle warning)
Then select “Update driver software”
Choose “Browse My computer for driver software”
Choose “let me pick from list of device driver on my computer”
Click “have disk” button
Browse to Xperia_P_Xperia_U_Xperia_sola_drivers extract folder
Select sa0104adb.inf
Approve all confirmation
Click OK

Turn off Xperia
Open Windows 7 device manager
Press and hold Volume[+] Sony Xperia button
Connect to Pc / Laptop
Right click on yellow triangle warning (device warning)
Choose “Update driver software”
Choose “Browse my computer for driver software”
Choose “Let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer”
click “Have a disk” button
Browse to fastboot driver extract folder
Select android_winusb.inf
Approve all confirmation
Done
Note:
A sign that fastboot connection is success is LED will stay in purple
In fastboot installation, open device manager before connect the device is a trick. A yellow triangle (device warning) only appears around 5 sec
It`s better to restart the windows after driver and fastboot installation

Hi Rajen,
Thanks for your help... I've done all this before, repeated it now step by step but no luck... Cannot have my P to stay with purple light on (fastboot). It still stays purple for 3-4 seconds then amber.
Any other idea?
@swissman you should open device manager on Windows 7 first then connect your phone......when its connected youll see anerror or something sign there and click it then choose install driver from pc......navigate to those drivers and Finish....hope this helped....

Hi! Thank you... I really did that... I think almost 20 times but nothing helps. I think I've done almost everything possible (Imagine, thinking that it might be a 64bits issue and Win 7, I've even tried to downgrade to Win 7 32 and Win 8 32! ..
But nothing helps. It installs correctly the drivers, computer reboot (or even not), replug the phone with Vol up and still getting a 3-4 seconds purple LED and then disconnection. I'm getting mad as I tried almost everything I found on XDA or others but nothing helps.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is to downgrade to ICS, try to unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to JB
Ok, I finally have been able to unlock it. What I did, VM with Windows 7 64, booted in fastboot and updated drivers with "Android ADB Interface" drivers from Google directly (not the one provided with SE modifications)... My phone stays now in fastboot and has been successfully unlocked.
Don't ask me how it did happen, I'm just being happy to have it fully under my control
Anyway thanks guys for your help!
When the purple led doesn't last it means you haven't installed it correctly......the thing we are teaching you is I think, a shortcut method,just in order not to install to many files.......so I recommend installing the whole android SDK if you have time......

Good day is this woking on wndows 8.1 too ??
On my Windows 8.1 64-bit at step 8 it doesn't recognize it as S1 fastboot device.
When I select android_winusb.inf and click OK, it says the folder specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for my device, make sure it is designed to work with Windows x64-based systems.
So I can't. ;(

So i have this weired case where the phone shows up in ADB but not in fast boot in the windows device manager when using the Recovery/Fastboot mode.
I already tested 3 different PCs and multiple cables. I as well got lucky and a friend of mine got a note 9 as well. With this the Fastboot and ADB show so it shouldn´t be a driver issue.
Can anyone help me with this problem because i would have wanted to get TWRP on this phone.
...I think it's ok when it shows up in ADB. Did you hear the windows connection sound on the PC when you plug in the device?
You need to install the driver.
Without it, the phone is only detected in adb:

Don't forget to disable Driver Digital Signature enforcing in Win10.

As I wrote before, I got 2x the same Phone on hand one gets recognized and all by windows and shows up with the correct device driver in fastboot. The other phone doesn't show a thing, windows isn't even recognizing that it got connected in fastboot.
Strange is that the phone that doesn't get recognized in fastboot mode does get recognized in edl and adb mode.
So in the end I am looking for an information if this could be fixed or if the main board is some kind of damaged.

Managed to connect my Redmi Note 9 (merlin) to Fastboot with my Windows PC and install stock ROM with MiFlash thanks to this driver.
To install the driver i did:
1. Download driver from link above (ignored Firefox's warning of potential risk).
2. Unpack the rar file.
Now we must disable Windows Driver Signature for the driver to install correctly. It will only be disabled during a single boot and the automatically revert to active and secure again after reboot.
3. Restart Windows while holding the "Shift" key through Start Menu -> Power ->Restart.
4. The blue Windows Advanced Boot menu should appear. Select: "Troubleshoot" -> "Advanced Options" -> "Startup Settings" -> "Restart"
5. Computer will restart to the Startup Settings Menu. Press number "7" key on your keyboard to select "Disable driver signature enforcement". Windows then will boot to Desktop.
6. Search and open "Device Manger" on Windows menu.
7. Under "Other devices" right click "Android" (for me it appeared with a caution sign because of the default driver error) and then "Update driver".
8. Browse my computer for Drivers -> "Let me pick from a list..." -> Select "ADB Interface" (not sure if it is important which type of device is selected) -> "Have Disk".
9. Browse the downloaded driver folder that was unpacked on step 2 and select "android_winusb.inf" (this is the Windows driver).
10. On the Windows Security prompt select "Install this driver anyway".
From here on Fastboot mode should be recognized by the PC and you can install a ROM using MiFlash or following any other guide to install via Fastboot in this forum.
