Having no luck whatsoever with this. :mad:
Even tried Windows 7 and getting the same cr@p about Windows not finding a driver for the phone despite re-downloading from Sony's website and starting from scratch.

If anyone cares to have a go I'll gladly send the phone to you. It'll have to be a UK address though.

It really is quite simple, from flashtool menu, choose install drivers, and select fastboot, flashmode drivers.

For windows 10 (and 8) you need to disable driver signature verification:

run cmd.exe - as Administrator (right click -> Run as administrator, from search)

type this command:

Code:

bcdedit /set testsigning on

reboot and install drivers as mentioned (Agree to installing unsigned drivers when you see the pop-up) Drivers should be correctly installed now.

I've got the drivers installed now, thanks to caa, but when I now start the flashing process I'm told that the device isn't unlocked. :confused: :mad:

Re: Problems Flashing XPeria X

make sure location (find my Xperia) is turned off.

Sounds like bootloader is not unlocked, did you get confirmation both in terminal and device UI?

There has been a report where seemingly OP had unlocked bootloader, but this was not the case:https://together.jolla.com/question/...ia-x-bootloop/

Yup. Turned off. I haven't set anything up on the handset at all, just been getting the Sony/Android updates.
