I am trying to get the fastboot driver for Sony Xperia ZR (dogo) for Windows 7 x64.
I found a page with instructions which pointed me to a Sony site where you can download a android_winusb.inf
file which one is supposed to copy over the one in the Android SDK folder under extras\google\usb_driver\
.
Then, I put the phone into fastboot mode by
- Powering it off
- Pushing the Volume Up button while connecting the phone via USB to the PC.
- The light turns blue and in the Windows Device Manager, I can see a new
S1Boot Fastboot
entry underOther devices
.
After right-clicking on that entry and selecting Update Driver Software...
, then Browse my computer for driver software
, I pointed to the Android SDK folder where I previously put the android_winusb.inf
file (see above).
Unfortunately after clicking Next
, there is a message Windows was unable to install your S1Boot Fastboot
and Windows could not find driver software for your device
.
On this thread, I found a link to a thread on XDA Developers where one can download a "fastboot package" and "32/64bit drivers", but I am hesitant because these are EXE files from an unknown source and the thread's title suggests this is for Xperia Arc, not ZR.
Are there any "official" drivers for my phone?
UPDATE:
I also found a great Sony webpage listing "All Android downloads" which has white papers, source code and drivers for all(?) devices, except the drivers for the ZR are missing.
UPDATE 2:
I have seen this comment to a question concerning fastboot drivers and USB device IDs, so I tried to replace device IDs for SingleAdbInterface
, CompositeAdbInterface
and SingleBootLoaderInterface
(sequentially, not all at once) with the one which I got from the Device Manager, which is USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE&REV_0100
. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference, the drivers are still not recognised.
