Fastboot Drivers Windows 8.1 [FIX] x64 - Xperia Arc General

Yes, so we all have got the latest and greatest of all windows. But does it come with problems to your rooted phone? Yes it does!
While you connect your rooted unlocked phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, It will likely show a “Windows USB Device (Device failed enumeration)” error if you go upto Device Manager. I’ve made a step-by-step guide for a little fix which I found working on Intel Machine with USB 3.0. I don’t know whether it will work for any other machine so try it at your own risk.
Install your default device drivers (For HTC, Install the HTC Sync Manager, For Sony, Use the ones you got in flashtool, etc)
If you are using Windows 8.1, use this for HTC drivers.
*NOTE* The instructions from Step 2-6 are only for machines with an Intel eXtensible Host Controller. Look for the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers in Device Manager.
Download Intel Official Drivers from the following link. Extract the zip file to a known location.
Download the following 2 files which have been modified to work on Windows 8 & 8.1
File 1
File 2
Now we are going to replace these two files which you have downloaded with the original ones. Copy the two files, and head over to the following directory in the zip file you extracted in Step 2.
“Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver\Drivers\Win7\x64″
Copy the two files here. Accept any warning which shows by hitting ‘Replace’
Now we have to disable the default Driver Signing enforcement which Microsoft has inbuilt into Windows 8 and 8.1. To do so You have to do the following
Press Windows Key + R (or go to Run)
Type “shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00″
Go to Troubleshoot –> Advanced options –> Start Up Settings –> Restart
After a computer soft reboot, hit Option 7 (Disable driver signature enforcement)
Restart your PC
When the Windows starts, go to run, and type “devmgmt.msc” and hit enter.

Go to Universal Serial busses at the end and double click “Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible controller”. Click on Drivers in the New window which opens.
You should see that the Drivers are provided by Microsoft.

Now click “Update Driver” and then select “Browse my computer for driver software”. Next choose “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer” and select “Have Disk”.
In the Window that pops up titled “Install From Disk” choose “Browse” and navigate to the location where we replace the original inf’s with the two modified .inf files. Select iusb3xhc.inf and click ok.
Ignore all warnings and install the drivers.
After installing, Reboot the computer with the same procedure as Step 6 & 7.
On opening the device manager, you should see an Unknown device. If you already had one before, you need to cross-check every unknown device to find the one we need.
Double click each such device and go to the 3rd tab “Details”. Find the Value “VID_8086″
After finding the correct device, choose “Update Driver” then click “Browse my computer”, Windows will ask you to identify the type of device, scroll down and select “Universal Serial Bus Devices”.
Click next, choose “Have Disk”, “Browse” and select the modified iusb3hub.inf that we placed in the same folder earlier. Ignore all warnings and install the drivers.
[showmyads]
Restart the computer normally and look at the driver tab for the “Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller” and the “Intel(R) USB 3.0 Root Hub” to confirm that you are now running the Intel drivers instead of the Microsoft ones.
You are now done. Try checking to see if the fastboot drivers works for you or not!
Happy Flashing!

Just a note, that Development section should only contain projects made by by you for Android phones. This fits better in General section.

Well, will try now, I have this problem so that I can try new rom

For those without USB 3.0 ports or if it doesn't work for you.. just download ubuntu, put it on a USB stick and start it up in live mode, then use this fastboot binary: http://d-h.st/vsJ
No need for drivers or anything, just make sure you use "sudo fastboot" or it won't work.

I wanted to personaly thank you for this method. I use windows 8.1 and have an intel 7 series chipset. 2 weeks ago, suddenly all my usb ports stopped working. I checked device manager, and universal serial bus controller only gave 3 chipset controllers. Also there were 3 other devices: unknown devices. When i checked the details, it were the USB root hubs of 2x 2.0 ports and 1x 3.0 ports. I tried everything until I came to this forum and tried you method for the 3.0 ports and it worked. Now i have access to 2 of my 4 usb ports. I am still not able to use my 2.0 ports. The usb hubs of these ports are not recognised and still under unknown device. Any suggestions on how to get these ports working?
Thanx in advance.

[Q] Extreme Driver Fail

Hello Everyone,
----------------------------
Nexus 7 Driver Fail
----------------------------
I was Unable to install drivers on Windows XP (ADB and Fastboot Drivers do not load). Every step has failed and multiple drivers fail to install with Code 18 and 28. I’ve tried just about EVERY Tool Kit available out there and searched fourms, still no positive results. If anyone out there may have an answer please feel free to drop it in here, I greatly appreciate all your help. Thank you.
Here is a list of what I have done thus far:
- Rebooted the computer after uninstalling devices with USB Deview before
continuing on to the other steps
- Uninstalling and manually deleting driver from the registry
- Unplugging and repluging the device while watching
the device manager (The device shows up as other devices, Example: nexus and MTP)
- I tried disabling auto driver configuration by Simply pressing the "Disable Auto Driver Config" button and then
changing the settings accordingly
- Registry cleaning
- Removing and manually adding to windows driver folder
- Trying on different User accounts from Admin to guest
- Used Android SDK manual driver installation
- Unplugged the device and Launched USBDevice
- Used USBDeview to uninstall any;
- Android ADB Interface device's
- Samsung USB devices
- Google USB drivers
- ANYTHING else you see that resembles your Nexus.
- Looked for devices with Vendor ID's:"18d1"or"04e8"
I then right clicked these devices, and selected the option to” Uninstall Selected Devices"
-Downloaded The official Asus USB driver off of Asus actual support base
And it said the following: an error occurred during the installation of this device The Parameter is incorrect.
Have I missed this action:
Download the drivers from Asus and unpack them to their own directory.
Connect the N7 with USB debugging enabled in "developer options"
Open Device Manager
Locate the N7
(from here my xp knowledge is rusty)
Right click on the N7 and select properties
Find the option to install/update drivers, Take the option to specify the driver directory where you unpacked the download, ensure that include sub directories is ticked and that should install

[Guide] Fix Device Not Showing Up In Fastboot Mode (Windows 10/11)

I have done this on Windows 10/11 with the 8 Pro, 8T, and 9 Pro personally.​Other members have had success with the OP5T, OP6T, OP7P, OP7T, OP8 and even a OP1 for @mawil1013 and somehow a Xiaomi Mi 9T lol
Spoiler: Backstory
After fighting this for about an hour, and trying everything I could think of, this was the only way I could get my T-Mobile 8T to show up while in fastboot mode.
I tried the below, and probably more...
Ensuring I had the latest fastboot version
Manually installing the bootloader driver from googles SDK
Several restarts
Just installing OnePlus' driver that come on the phone per-installed
To fix the issue, we are going to disable driver signing enforcement in Windows and then install the Unsigned OnePlus drivers.​
Install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.
They should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer.
I'm sure you can find the installation package somewhere online, but I don't have a good download source so I am not going to give out random links.
This will create a directory containing the USB driver. This will most likely be
C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
In that folder there is a driver, but both when installed using the installer incuded with my phone, and a downloaded version, I ran into...
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.
To get around this we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.
Select the “Start” button.
Type “startup”.
Select “Change advanced startup settings“.
Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.
Once presented with the Advanced options select...
“Troubleshoot“ --> “Advanced Options“ --> “Startup Options“ --> “Restart“
After that, a menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.
Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver until you reboot, meaning we can install our unsigned OnePlus driver.
Pop open Device Manager
You can press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access
Boot your device into fastboot mode.
This should cause it to show up in device manager as "Andriod", with a yellow triangle
In device manager right click the "android" device
Then press the following options
Update driver --> Browse my computer --> Let me pick --> Have Disk
Navigate to the folder from earlier: C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay
After that, OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected. Go ahead and install it.
Congrats! Your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.
You sir are saint...I've been trying to get fastboot to recognize my OP6T for the last 8 hours. Thank you so much!
Make sure when you allow adb debugging in developer mode that you authorize the phone when using adb devices, otherwise you will not see fastboot when you try to use.
Thank you, that would have driven me crazy. It is crazy that it is 2020 and driver manufactures still don't sign their drivers some times.
There is no CD Drive show up....
find on internet a oneplus usb driver and installed....
then got this message trying to get the [oem get_unlock_code]
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Thanks OP.
finally works...
Okay, I just figured out my mistake, but I'll leave it in case someone else stumbles across the same thing. The fix: choose your language, then choose "reboot to fastboot" and confirm that you're sure. You'll get to a screen with "Fastboot mode" in red near the top. Once there, run the get code command.

Thanks a lot @Mbektic. This seems so much harder than it needs to be and I wouldn't have been able to unlock my bootloader without your guide. Thanks again!
Wow I didn't even realize that I had helped people until now! I am so glad I could help you guys @bigd4ve @jefffeely and @Pain-N-Panic

Hey Guys,
After fighting this for about an hour, and trying everything I could think of, this was the only way I could get my T-Mobile 8T to show up while in fastboot mode.
I tried the below, and probably more...
Ensuring I had the latest fastboot version
Manually installing the bootloader driver from googles SDK
Several restarts
Just installing OnePlus' driver that come on the phone per-installed
So for me, the issue was resolved by doing the following below.
1) install the OnePlus drivers that are included with your phone.
--- they should show up as CD Drive: OnePlus Drivers when you just connect your phone to your computer
2) This will create a directory like this... C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers, containing the USB driver
3) In that folder there is a driver "" but both when installed from my phone, and a downloaded version, i ran into The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.. So next we are going to disabled signed drivers on windows.
-----Select the “Start” button.
-----Type “startup”.
-----Select “Change advanced startup settings“.
-----Select “Restart now” under the “Advanced startup” area.
-----Select “Troubleshoot“.
-----Select “Advanced Options“.
-----Select “Startup Options“.
-----Select “Restart“.
-----A menu will appear where you can press “7” on your keyboard to choose “Disable driver signing enforcement“.
Now Device Driver Signing should be disabled, allowing you to install any driver you like in Windows 10 until you reboot.
4) Boot your device into fastboot mode. This should cause it to show up in device manager as Andriod, with a yellow triangle
5) In device manager(press windows + x to bring up a menu, then you can press m or select device manager for quick access) right click the android device
-----Update driver
-----Browse my computer
-----Let me pick
-----Have Disk
-----Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\OnePlus USB Drivers
-----Select OnePlus_android_winusb.inf and click okay
-----OnePlus Android Bootloader interface should be selected, and go ahead and install it.
After that your device should start showing up in fast boot mode.
I'm not sure if for some reason my driver version just was lacking a hash, or if it is a common issue, but hopefully i'll save someone a couple of minutes.

Yes, I also had to disable device driver signing, then the phone showed up in the bootloader.. You can just open an admin command prompt, type "bcdedit /set testsigning on", REBOOT, then install the proper driver. This seems to be a problem with OOS11.
The easiest method for any newbie is to install , iobit driver booster , free.

I just cant thank as much as I have to! I couldnt find solution for months, I was using magisk module on old phone to use fastboot and it sucked. Now updated driver and works like charm. Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this thread. I couldn't believe I were having so many issues on my desktop, when I had managed to get everything right when I first got the phone(8PRO) on my laptop. I had adb & fastboot installed, then plugging in Kona w/ usb debug off allowed me to install the adb driver and then for fastboot(while in fastboot, using window's "device manager" I selected the Google usb driver I had downloaded, and finally for edl mode driver just in case (msm), I installed the qualcomm driver while in edl mode( whew). Anyway thanks,
I cannot believe I did not see this thread earlier...
Just finished solving the same problem after going nuts for a couple of hours.
It is most definitely just getting the PC to install the OnePlus drivers AND disabling the driver signing.
What a pain.

you've saved my sanity on oneplus5T after upgrading to Android Q 10. Thank you
I also struggled with this issue but found another solution. Once my phone was plugged in (can't remember if it was system or fastboot) I went to Windows Update and browsed the optional updates. One of the optional updates was a driver for android recovery. Installed it and it worked.

Between the OP and this post, I was finally able to get the drivers to work on my 8T (Sim Free- Carrier Unlocked) new phone from Oneplus. I spent several hours trying to determine what the issues were and then found this thread. I am successfully unlocked from the bootloader. Thank you both.

THANK YOU! This worked 100% for me, super easy too. Went to Windows Update, View Optional Updates, saw the Android External Device update, device showed in fastboot after installing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You're a legend, it works on my OnePlus 5T as well.

Thanks for this - I know its a little after the fact but 6+ months later this post has gotten me out of a fastboot hole with a oneplus 9. Now fully rooted only for this. Thanks again.

QPST driver install...

Trying to get these drivers installed on windows 10 machine but no matter which driver i choose it always pops up "windows encountered an error while installing driver". im trying to get into qpst file explorer to see the policy_man folder for the carrier policy. im on havoc rom 11 and there is no engineer mode(*#801, *#800) or log kit since im not factory rom. ive tried disable driver signature verify under advanced restart on the pc....no luck same error. ive tried disable secure boot in bios on pc....same error.
ive tried these steps......
1. adb reboot ftm
2. Install (in your smartphone) USB Gadget Tool (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/net.tjado.usbgadget/) and check this modes: ( cser.dun.O , diag.diag, diag.diag.mdm , ffs.adb , gsi.dpl , gsi.rmnet , qdss.qdss , qdss.qdss.mdm )
3. adb shell su setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,adb
4. Disconnect and connect your phone usb cable.
5. Go to Control Panel – Device Manager. You will see some unknown device. You should look at the so-called "Oneplus 8T", ignore the others.
Right click on the first "Oneplus 8T" –> Update Driver –> Browse my computer drivers -> Let me pick form a list of available drivers -> Click on I Have Disk -> Show all devices, browse then go to the Qualcomm Drivers that you download earlier. Then do the same to the other "Oneplus 8T". Choose 9018 for both unknown "Oneplus 8T"..
6. Add both ports in QPST Configuration. Only one of them is the one you are going to use. By clicking on EFS Explorer you will know which one it is by seeing X55 Driver in the description.
7. Change carrier_policy and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 files
8. adb reboot

Hmmm... You do have the regular drivers for the device installed as well, correct?
(ADB) works? Try this - (Let me know if you need 32 bit installer) No need to disable driver signing enforcement.
10.99 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
64bit - If it needs a password it's GADGETSDOCTOR
If you're getting into the use of Qualcomm engineering tools check out the fine work of KL Joachim Schepke and the #u100 Crew to make QXDM5g and the accompanying Tools available, search QXDM5 , also includes driver autoinstaller.
Uninstall the old ones and reboot first, go actually delete the directory, Qcomm doesn't uninstall very cleanly.
Let me know how it goes,

I have tried this and no luck, this is preventing me from using msm to convert my 8t and possibly unbrick if needed. No matter how I install these drivers this is what I get after reboot
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

i was able to get device manager to show the device(kb2005) and update/install the driver for that....however, it does not show another kb2005 device, just shows 2 'unknown device'. when i try the update/install driver for the 'unknowns', i get the windows has encountered an error message
with only the one driver installed(shows qualcomm android modem 9018 in device manager under modems tab), i still cant get qpst tools to work without both drivers. in qpst, it shows the correct driver installed as active phones and shows under ports tab....and theres no port to add with add new port

Sorry I was traveling for a little bit - did you get this handled? Sounds to me like you need to make sure that your USB & or wireless debugging is active and not just charging, you can change it on your notifications to transfer files or something like that

Have you tried disabling Driver Signing Enforcement when booting into Windows and then installing the driver?

#3 command should start like this:
adb shell
su
setprop....
Also disable Driver Signing Enforcement, as you'll have to install driver every time you want to use QPST, with it enabled.
