Iam trying to flash Sailfish to Xperia 10 on Windows 10, bit I am not able to properly install fastboot drivers. I am using Xperia X driver as described in official manual. I even tried Xperia 10 II driver, bur without luck. I am on Windows 10 2004, as I have found it may be caused by this. Do you know how ro resolve it. Before I flashed in on Linux and it worked flawlessly. Thank you.

I have Windows 10 Pro v. 2004 and even after following the guide provided by Jolla/SailfishOS, I cannot get my PC to see my Xperia XA2 Ultra device when putting it in Fastboot mode. The guide mentions a problem with my version of Windows but if you got it working somehow using Xperia X drivers for your device, I should theoretically also be able to get my drivers installed.


I want to use my Xperia S for debugging, so I followed the OEM USB Drivers instructions step by step but still not work, I didn't find "Android Composite ADB Interface" to update driver as it explained. and when I call adb devices my device didn't appear in the list.


Settings / Xperia / USB Connectivity / USB Connection Mode and select MASS Storage, not MTP. I did uncheck Install PC Companion. It work right away. No need to Update drivers, no need to change the android_winusb.inf. You may need to kill adb.exe before trying again adb devices.


The solution was to update the drivers using PC Companion. Before that I tested the following things:1)I have the system running on Windows 8 and the problem has nothing to do with Mass Storage or MTP mode.


2) After the update of the device software, PC companion showed the device is up to date. I did not completely update the device where PC Companion asked for the upgrade and phone contacts have to be backed up.


So not sure what that original microUSB cable is for (I bought my Xperia U as a second hand stuff, so not sure if in original package there are more micro USB cables), but for me it worked just for charging of the phone, no file transfer.


Connect to PC > Pull down notifications menu > Click Touch for other USB options > Choose Built-in CD-ROM > The device opens on windows > Go to F:\USB Reference Manual\EN\ADB_Reference_Manual.txt and follow the instructions.


Setting the USB mode isn't good enough. USB debugging must be enabled to allow adb to connect to the phone. This probably states the obvious but for me it took a while reading through these comments and wondering why adb doesn't connect. make sure your developer mode is active on the phone and "Developer Options" -> "USB debugging" is enabled.


Windows:Now at least I found it on device manager listed under "Other devices" - for my Xperia Tablet Z it was SGP311 of course. Just unplug and plug back in, if you are not sure, which device it is. Go back to the sony drivers page:


Now right click on the device in device manager and select "update drivers". Select drivers from local storage (automatic update was not working for me!)Now give the folder, you just extracted/unzipped.


Now it worked for me and the device is no longer listed under "other devices". Make sure to authorize your computer for debugging on the sony device.Just unlock the Sony Xperia and you will have to accept the prompt to pair with the computer.


The phone is marked as "needs troubleshooting" under Devices-and-printers, with 5 bluetooth devices under its Hardware tab and in Device Manager marked with "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)", "Unknown device" and "Manufacturer unknown".


It would also make sense if the Xperia device had a custom icon under Devices-and-printers, currently there are up to 3 different devices listed for the phone if I also connect USB: 2 Xperia V's, one with a stock Windows phone icon, and one "LT25i" with stock server box icon (if I connect USB tethering).


Both the Bluetooth network connection via "Xperia V" and the USB tethering network connection via "LT25i" also increment their (generic) name+number with each re-connection, they're at "Network 32" and "Network 72" right now. This is quite weird.


When you connect the phone to a computer using bluetooth the drivers used are standard drivers provided by the software for your computers bluetooth adapter. There are no (need for) specific bluetooth drivers for the phone.


If you get a message that drivers are missing this means that the bluetooth software you have in your computer doesn't support one or more of the bluetooth profiles in the phone. Usually this is the headset profile and A2DP that the phone uses for bluetooth headsets. Many bluetooth softwares doesn't support these profiles but they see the profiles in the phone and tries to install them.


What you can do is to check if there are any updates to the software for the computers bluetooth software that adds support for more profiles but in general the profiles you need (file transfer, tethering) are supported.


There may be no dire need to add proper software, drivers and icons as things seem to work despite error messages, however it gives it a very cheap low-quality feel. When connecting the phone's mass storage, then that connection has an icon from Sony but the bluetooth connection only has a stock Windows icon under "devices and printers".


What's really missing here is support for some bluetooth profiles in your bluetooth stack, not drivers for the phone. The driver your computer is asking for are drivers to make your bluetooth adapter support a certain bluetooth profile.


If you for example want to connect a bluetooth headset to your computer the bluetooth stack needs to support Headset profile and/or Handsfree Profile. You don't need a special driver for every headset as bluetooth profiles are standard.


Now for the phone there's really no need to have support for headset/handsfree profile unless you would want to use your computer as a headset for your phone (you can't use the phone as headset for your computer).


Didn't help completely. Although now I can connect using bluetooth modem, It still says that device status 'Needs troubleshooting' and the problem is that there are no drivers for Bluetooth Peripheral Device.


After the update to marshmallow i am facing problems with wifi and mobile network signals. I have to stand near the router to use the internet and another problem is that xperia is not detected by pc companion. I tried 3 usb cable and it only charges, i have tried enable usb debugging option and updated drivers. Everything was fine in lollipop. This is update is buggy and i have seen others facing wifi issues as well. Please fix these issues soon.


As you said that using pc companion would fix this issue,but it didn't. I powered off my phone and pressed volume down button then connected the cable the light went from red to green. I have another xperia that too worked fine last week. Its on lollipop and even my other xperia m4 doesnt connects to pc excepts it only shows charging. I tried enabling debugging mode as well. I tried 3 usb cables and xperia only charges. Maybe its a software issue. Its not allowing the connection between the pc and phone. Still i am facing problem in wifi,its having the range problem. Is there a fix?


I downloaded the xperia flashtool and downloaded all drivers including sony pc companion, nothing worked. I have two m4 aqua one is updated to 6.0 and has the issues stated above and other one is on lollipop. Last week i was tranferring my files and mtp was working in windows 10 and pc companion detected my phone, i did receive windows update in between but i don't know if it has anything to do with this, now the lollipop version and marshmallow version are not being detected at all. I am not sure if its the device or my laptop problems i tried all ports and tried 3 different cables and today i tried it on my other pc having windows 8.1. Is there still a way to fix it or should i take it to repair center because i am facing a lot of problem due to less wifi and mobile signals.


i turned on the enable usb debugging mode but still no response. There is an option in developer mode called select usb configuration. Whatever i select i comes back to charging only,sometime it shows media tansfer protocol but the pc never detects any of my devices, what should i do?


I installed adb drivers again by disabling driver verification, re installed flashtool, pc companion and other drivers, still no response. I tried safe mode as well in xperia and nothing worked. The last time i repaired my other xperia using pc companion was connecting fine until this week when i re connected to check for problems. I believe there is a software problem because the device and pc don't communicate at all. I have attached a screenshot, whenever i connect to my pc using usb it shows ac charging.


Recently purchased the Xperia 1 III - great phone. However, when it's plugged in to a Windows 11 Laptop via the USB-C cable, whilst I can see the XQ-BC52 device in Windows Explorer, accessing any of the internal storage causes Windows Explorer to "hang" and needs to be restarted.


If it helps, I have Windows 11 and have accessed my 1 III once, maybe twice and it was fine, although I didn't have an SD card pluged in at the time or moved files so I cannot say more. Are you using a USB-c to USB cable or USB-C both ways?


I did have a very brief success after this was installed, I managed to drill beyond one level of folder (to the content of the PHOTOGRAPHY_PRO folder in DCIM on the SD card - opened an image and deleted it - all good - then I could not navigate again, Windows Explorer hang.


I see. The driver you are referring to is for developers or console mangement (ADB) so that debugging is available and using the comand line utilities. In theory you should not need these if you simply want your phone to work and mounting the storage.


As the page says the phone itself should come with the drivers ready - 'Our devices always comes with drivers pre-installed, but as a developer you sometimes need the drivers specifically.' - So unless you're running a custom firmware or done anything to your phone you shouldn't need these. See if you can get rid of them, reboot the pc and then reboot the phone while connected to USB, so if there is a driver pending to be installed you will see it on your pc screen. Otherwise I don't know.
