As you can see there is a difference between the VendorID and ProductID

In windows the adb drivers install and i'm able to connect in normal mode.

While i'm in recovery mode the PC tried to install MTP USB drivers but fails.

When trying to install the adb device drivers it fails installing (not compatible.)

even tried to add the following lines to sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf. (under [Google.NTx86] and under and [Google.NTamd64])

;SONY Sony Tablet S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18d1&PID_05B3&MI_01

Any ideas?
