[miniTUT][WIN10]Installing ADB Drivers for Sony Devices on Windows 10 - Sony Cross-Device General

Hi, I have managed to install proper ADB drivers on my Win10 and I came up with an idea that it might be useful for other XDA Community members.
You have to manually install the drivers since there is no installer available that is Win10 compatible.
INSTRUCIONS
1. Download drivers for your Sony device from this site LINK
2. Extract the drivers
2. Connect your device to the PC and turn on USB Debugging
3. Open device manager and find a device with a warning icon
4. Right click on the device and choose update driver
5. Choose install the driver manually option (the second one)
6. Enter the path to your extracted drivers (TO THE MAIN FOLDER "/YourDevice'sName")
7. Please make sure that Include subfolder option is checked

9. Restart your PC
Tested on Xperia Z1 Compact​

Also make sure that you have driver signature verification disabled, because for some devices it won't install that way (XZU)

The other way is to disable signed-driver verification on Windows 10, so every driver will be installed. (It might be a bit risky as you can install a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit o.s but it won't work)

It's okay if it just doesn't work, but it's not okay if it screws up the whole system

Already tested without any problems..

But how can I install ADB driver if there is no Sony Xperia ZR driver on Sony's site?
Thanks in advance.

You can get drivers from latest flashtool

Hi!
I can't get this to work. My Z5 has ADB debugging switched on but there is no device with a warning icon. In ADB mode my Z5 is listed as "portable device". There is no ADB device visible.

[Q] Graphics Driver Problem...

Hi, i installed Windows 8 on my Laptop and all is well even aero works (which it normally doesnt in windows 7 and vista), ok... not everything; my graphics driver will NOT install. No matter what i do, (compatibility mode, different driver, older driver, newer driver) it just doesnt work, gives me an error message:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
My Graphics card is a Via P4M800 or Via/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP (yes i know the worst as can be, but my me or my dad didn't know this while buying off ebay)
I know there is know WDDM driver but aero seems to work- even without a driver
Please give me a driver, I cant play any games and aero lags and so does basic
ANYONE?!?! please help me... bump
This is a developer preview. This is at pre-beta stage. Give folks a chance to come up with drivers for it or for existing drivers to be tweaked.
but i heard all windows 7 drivers work, not all really
try install the .net framework 3.5
I have ati 6630m graphics card.
i tried it and it start working.
or
download the latest driver and install from the source
or from here:
download.cnet.com/VIA-S3G-UniChrome-Pro-IGP/3000-2108_4-146347.html
In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver.
or if that does not work
then download the latest driver then go to device manager and update through manually finding the location of the driver.
sometimes it works.
Did you run it as admin?
remember disabling UAC doesn-t do anything more than just don't display the uac message.
but if you don't run it as admin some programs and installation wont work. and when in tried to install drivers without running as admin it didn't work. until i ran it as admin.
drivers should work. so i wonder if you ran it as admin.

Halp! Windows 8.1 upgrade at war with n4

Hi,
I had win 8 in which I was successfully able to do everything with my n4 (adb connections were good and so was MPT). I updated to win 8.1 and now it's derping out. ADB drivers seem fine. I tested it by simply running adb shell in cmd prompt, but even though my device is connected, it says that it's unable to find device.
Whats more important to me is that the device is not showing up in my computer. Although windows plays the usual usb connection sound. I'm also able to see it has detected my device as Nexus 4 is under the unknown device category. How can I fix this. I relly need to transfer a few things between the comp and phone, and it kinda sucks at the moment.

Just format it and install Ubuntu!!!
lol, just jocking. if adb is working you don't need it to recognize it. You can just use adb push/adb pull, but anyway.. did u try to enable debugging?
It means something has derped with the mtp driver
Open up device manager
You will see your nexus 4 with a yellow exclamation mark next to it
Right click and update driver
Manually choose
Then you will have to scroll through the list and find the mtp device (I can't remember of the top of my head exactly which headers it is under)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Connect your Nexus 4 in USB debuggin mode and uninstall your current driver in device manager checking the 'delete the driver software' option.
Download Universal Naked Driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Reboot Windows 8 into advance mode and select to disable driver signature: PC Settings -> Updates and recovery -> Recovery -> Advance startup -> select F7 option at the selection menu when you see it
Reconnect Nexus 4 and install it with UND driver.
Thanks all! I just uninstalled the current drivers and reconnected the device. Windows picked up on the right drivers. All ok!

Please Help ME
It seems a problem with Windows rather than with your phone.
First of all don't worry, there are very high chances that you will recover the phone in working state. I worked for over a year with MTK devices, they brick very easily but it's also easy to unbrick.
It's a signature error, not a driver error. I remember Windows has somewhere the option to disable signature checking for drivers. Disable it, then after installing this driver you can re-enable it if you want.
I assume you are able to proceed from this step on, once phone is recognized by PC. If I'm wrong, feel free to ask
To Install Driver without Signature error.
This will Help u to install driver without signature.
What to do:
1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the letter C to open the Charm menu, then click the gear icon (Settings).
2.Click More PC Settings.
3. Click General.
4. Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
NOTE: In Windows 8.1, the ‘Restart Now’ button has moved to ‘PC Setting -> Update & Recovery -> Recovery.’
5. After restarting, click Troubleshoot.
6. Click Advanced Options.
7. Click Windows Startup Settings.
8. Click Restart.
9. After restarting your computer a second time, choose Disable driver signature enforcement from the list by typing the number 7 on your keyboard.
10. After restarting, you will be able to install the drivers normally; however, Windows will display a warning message. When the warning appears, click Install this driver software anyway.
You are now complete. I hope this will help you. Good Luck..

Sometimes we need to transfer files to our device while we are in recovery mode. When we forget to copy the zip we were going to flash, when we are installing a
GPE based ROM (we must format /data and erase all files), to transfer a backup... ect. In many cases we need this function.
The purpose of this tutorial is to make our PC succesfully recognize our Moto G as a storage device being in TWRP recovery.
Many users have reported that their devices are not being recognized.​
Requirements:
-Have installe the last TWRP recovery version.
-Have installed ADB drivers in PC. You can try this ones Universal ADB Drivers or Motorola Mobile Drivers 64 bits
-USB data cable.
-PC runnig Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 (can work with older versions).​Steps: Sorry for spanish images, if you can provide me english captures would be great.
1) Boot into recovery mode and connect to PC with USB data cable.
2) Being completely sure your device is not being recognized, otherwise this tutorial will be totally useless to you.
3) Open Control Panel and click on Hardware and Sound
4) Go to Device Manager.
5) Look for 'Android Device' or 'Android Phone' or any related name, open the list, rigth-click on the device and click on 'Update driver software'.
6) Now click on the second option.
7) Now click on the option below:
8) Make sure 'ADB composite device' is there and click next.
9) Once this is donde, reboot your PC and it will be in capacity to recognize your device as a storage device while you are in TWRP recovery. We can freely transfer files.​---------------------------------------------------

using fastboot devices the phone is not detected.
installed last official usb drivers (google and oneplus)
Any idea, suggestion or further test that can help?
Thanks
Same problem here. Please help.
Finally I found a working solution.
If you have a laptop you have to disable secure boot.
Then you have to disable signature verification on windows 10 ( How to Enable or Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10 | Tutorials (tenforums.com) ).
I used option 3.
Download Oneplus usb drivers ( Download Latest OnePlus USB Drivers for Windows and Mac (getdroidtips.com) ).
Then connect your phone in fastboot mode & open Device Manager on Windows & look for Other > Android device. If it is found, this means windows 10 is not having proper drivers to recognize fastboot device. Now install "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe" & it will show pop up for installing driver & after accepting(this is blocked due to signature verification in normal situation), Android device will be recognized in fastboot mode.
Thanks man, it worked for me.
Just to complete, after istalling the drivers you can restore signature verification and secure boot on Win 10.
Everything will work fine.
