[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
Ok, this guide is for Windows 8 users, so there are differences with Windows XP. Try to install Pc Companion or Sony Update Service to have basic drivers. Then install Flashtool normally, install drivers from "C:\flashtool installation directory\driver, and try again.

Problem

Hey i did all steps and im trying over 4 months without a result. It shows me this error. Any solutions? Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 4lex96:
To use adb on windows 8 you must connect the phone to pc by a 2.0 usb port!

If you use 3.0 usb port it won't work.

Windows 8 - Xperia U - Unlock Boot Loader Issue

Hi,

I tried the below method and the ADB driver shows in the Device Manager.

But while running fastboot.exe with command "fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version" to check if the phone is connected properly I am not getting the response code.

I just get a "Waiting for device" message. Any Ideas??? I knw this isn't the thread but some help would be great.

best regards and thanks,

raisedadead

PS: The phone is connected in Switched off Mode with Volume Up key as required.

on windows 7??

heyy man,will this work on windows 7 64-bits??:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ivan93tm:
in windows 7 you only have to install this: http://androxyde.github.io/ and then go in C:\Flashtool\drivers\ and run Flashtool-drivers.exe so it will install drivers automaticaly and you only have to follow steps XD

ps. if u have a professional version of windows 7 do this

in search box of windows 7 type lusrmgr.msc

press enter

wait untill windows open

select Administrators user and click property

uncheck disable account and change complete name

move all of your data from your account to administrator (also hidden folder)

disconnect your account and log in with administrator

you're done now u're total administrator of your windows 7 and never ask for security prompt XD

hope this help =)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ivan93tm:

So need to set it run as Administrator and it work properly...

if I still got this problem I just use VirtualBox with Windows XP 32bit switch USB connect to VirtualBox this the last option....

Hi,

I know it has been said before, but for Windows 8 users, this will not work on a USB 3 port. I read all the instruction however only after reading other comments I understood (a lot of wasted time).

Please change instructions from "while connecting USB make sure is 2.0" (doesn't make sense in English) to:

"You MUST use a USB 2.0 port"

Thanks for the guide.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dtalwar14:
how to do that ?? after disabling i have to install again or just have to attach the phone in fasboot ??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kalyan_kadari:
Just follow the following process:

1. download flashtool and install

2. type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in cmd and restart PC

3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts

4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC..

In steps 2 & 4 run cmd with administrator permission or else it will show error

After restarting the download the attachment i attached to this post..

1. Extract it using archive manager and from dat open fastboot folder.

2. Do not click on any file and just right click on empty area by holding shift key.....

3. From that window select open command window here...

4. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.5"). This means your device is connected properly.

5. Dats it.................

Happy flashing.........

hope it helps..........:good:

i had same problem but got it solved open sdk/tools/android.bat with your favorite editor and find this code

set java_exe=

if not defined java_exe goto :EOF

then replace this with

set java_exe="D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin\java.exe"

make sure you give your java.exe file path

save android.bat then run android.bat as administrator and you are done your sdk will run

[MENTION=3497063]Ivan93tm[/MENTION] add above information to op as new sdk gives this problem with windows 8

i did all the things at the end it said your driver is installed successful but still when i connect my phone in fastboot mode i cant enter to fastmode still

Installing Fastboot driver for Sony ericson xPeria Pro MK16a

Thanks for the useful hints.

I was getting difficulties on installing the fastboot driver for the sony ericson xPeria Pro MK16a and getting the phone to be connected in fastboot mode, then I got the following method working:

In general I followed the instruction from developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader

In a few words you have to:

- Download and install the Google USB driver from developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html

- Download the Sony Fastboot driver from developer.sony.com/develop/drivers

- TRICK: Unzip the USB Driver and replace the file usb_driver/android_winusb.inf by the Sony Fastboot driver android_winusb.inf

- Remove the phone's battery, wait 5 secs and put it again

- Connect the phone with a USB cable in fastboot mode (see developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/useful-key-combinations). For the xPeria Pro, it means press the menu button while connecting it to the computer via USB

- Windows will identify a fast boot device, but will fail to use a proper driver

- Now see developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver

- On the start menu > Computer > Right click on Manage > Devices > Browse my computer for driver > Select the Google USB Driver folder

- Now it should install the driver correctly and the phone should work as a regular fast boot device

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
Hi Guys,

Just ordered a Nexus 4 16GB to replace my LG Optimus 4X HD (missed a Nexus device).

During my order I got a message saying "there was a problem processing your order".

Yet I've been given a order number and shipping date (5th March), the payment is showing in my wallet too.

I called Google and they said the order is processing but I'm not sure I believe them.

Anyone experience this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticaldh:
Sorry, I haven't experienced this. But I have something that may be helpful for you. It takes 2 days for Google to process your order and ship it. 2 days is based on my experience with 3 times ordering Nexus 4 with them. Hence, after 2 days, if the message is still there, you should call and ask them. Or you can call and ask them again, like "Would you mind removing that message," or ask them why :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsandie:
1. Android OS is actually based on Linux OS, and it uses Linux Kernel and its written in C language, and the apps and core components in Android is coded in Java.

2. Its based on Java. Java is the main language for android apps. You can start right away from the Tutorials given in the Android developer website. Also, there are tons of websites that provides Android Training, use a Google search and you'll get what you are looking for.

3. Now that's a tricky question. One thing for sure is that you need to be exceptionally well in coding and has high knowledge in problem solving mathematically. Recently in India, one guy from IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) has been appointed into Google located at California. And that too in his third year of his Engineering course, still one more year left for him to complete his course. So its all about your knowledge. The guy has said in media reports that he used to do lots of online coding challenges and etc. etc.

I extracted it from system/app from a touchwiz rom, and pasted it to system/app in the CM10.1 rom, but it gives me fc.
