Look in the folder where you extracted flashtool, there should be a driver folder where you can install drivers. If that doesn't work, try the SE driver posted in a different dev thread posted a few days ago.

so are the drivers different for the versions i.e. 0.2.9 vs 0.2.9.1? Because .0.2.9 works just fine on my PC. So SEUS etc needs to be reinstalled each time a new version of flash tool is released?

i already switch on the unknown source and debugging mode.
But i still get the error on the flasher.

what can i do now?

strange.

try:
1. reboot pc and phone
2. uninstall / reinstall PCC and SEUS
3. install drivers from FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec\drivers

note: download Doom´s version of flashtool (xRecovery ready)

Cheers;)

    This thread was created initially by me when flashtool appear on market :D

    In the beginning of the week i was contacted by G-FACE to offer his help cause he had created a thread similar to this one on a site of his country. He offered himself to translate and i´ll put the translation here.
    Well, that wasn´t exactly how i see things. He do the job. He must take the credit for it:)

    So, the next posts and despite the fact it appears like it was written/created by me that´s WRONG! He did it after contact mods and give him access to do so.

    SO. Thank you G-FACE and thank HIM not me;)

    [FLASHTOOL GUIDE] HOW TO for n00bies - THIS WILL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED SOON

    RECOGNIZING YOUR PHONE

    Download the latest version of Flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/ thanks to Androxyde & Bin4ry

    Install Flashtool exe file and the update file if needed.

    The first and most important thing is to be sure that Flashtool recognizes your phone:

    • Start Flashtool
    • Connect the phone with the computer via USB cabel
    • Wait till flashtool shows that your device is recognized. You will see your phone model on "Connected device:"

    01_x10_Detected.PNG


    If you see in “Connected device” the name of your phone model you are good to go for next steps.

    If your phone is not recognized by Flashtool that means you don’t have the required drivers installed.

    • Open folder /Flashtool/drivers and install ggsetup-2.2.0.11

    If after the above Flashtool still doesn’t recognize your phone, do the following:

    • From Flashtool/drivers folder extract the zip file XXX_ADB_driver which corresponds to your phone model
    • Open “Device manager” on the computer and find the device which is with an exclamation mark on it (do this with connected to the computer phone)
    • Right click on the device and choose Uptade driver
    • Choose to find the driver manually and browse to the folder where you’ve extracted the zip file.
    • That should install the required drivers on your computer.
