Flashtool - Can't enter Flashmode on Xperia Z

Hi, I'm having trouble when holding down the non-existent back button (I know it is a touch key and I try holding my finger in the position where the button is when the phone is turned on) and plugging in the USB cable...

Nothing happens Flashtool is giving me the pop-up windows that has the instructions to hold the back button and plug in the USB cable...

All works fine with my Arc S while holding the physical Back button and plugging in the USB cable...


Only way I get my PC and my laptop to recognize some kind of USB connection with the phone is while holding the Volume UP button and plugging in the USB cable - I get into FASTBOOT mode (Blue LED is on)

And if I hold Volume DOWN and connect the USB cable I also get connection but then I'm asked for QHSUSB_DLOAD device driver...

This could be the right combination for Flashmode (CAN'T BE SURE THOUGH) but the modded Flashtool for Xperia Z and the Driver folder (and the exe itself) don't provide the driver for the infamous QHSUSB_DLOAD (googled and found the QHSUSB_Drivers_(x64).rar Size(141.631 bytes))

After installation I get successful installation of COM port device called the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10)

But that also does not get me into Flashmode for successful FTF flash on my new Xperia Z device :(

Please help...

Waat is the key combination for Flashtool Flashmode and could someone link the correct driver if I got the key combination right but have the incorrect driver :)

Thanks in advance

On the Z you're supposed to hold the volume down button for flash mode.
All questions answered a couple times already. Use the search :mad: And no, thanking in advance doesn't make it ok.
C:\Flashtool\drivers
I do not really want to translate instructions from Russian to English but if you want it can take advantage of Google's machine translation
I hope it will help you.

It did help mate.

Because now I know that i was doing corrcet steps but the problem still exists - Flashtool for Xperia Z is only giving me the window to enter Flashmode.

it might be an issue in 64-bit version of windows z ultimate i'm using but than again i tried it on my company laptop that uses Win 7 Enterprise but x64 as well ...

when i install Xperia Z drivers (provided in the c:\Flashtool\drivers folder) and start the phone with volume DOWN + USB cable plugged in my x64 Win 7 Ultimate or Enterpise i dont find the drivers needed in the provided drivers/flashtool-drivers.exe package...


then i find the drivers using Google skils and it doesnt work

First I found drivers with the correct VID&PID but those were for HTC HBOOT and my problem began...

... the correct ones are the GordonGate drivers v3.0.0 obtained from https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool/tree/master/drivers/GordonGate

good luck all :good:

I'm not sure anymore but i think GordonGate drivers are the correct ones but ones on Androxyde github do not contain the necessary VID_05C6&PID_9008

Could plz someone upload the driverz needed so that Flashtool can recognize my Xperia Z in flashmode

1. I do get the green light when holding the VOLUME DOWN + USB CABLE PLUG but...

2. my Win 7 x64 asks for drivers ---- Device Manager\QHSUSB_DLOAD with the info on Hardware ID tab VID_05C6&PID_9008

3. and no the drivers are not contained in the c:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe - installed all of them, tried by clicking on every "Install anyway..." warning

4. Even installed the Flashtool-drivers.exe again with the Compatibility options of the EXE set to "Windows Vista" and "Run as an Administrator" (that way i don't get the warnings for "Install driver anyway..."

5. when googled i found several info that connected that VID_05C6&PID_9008 to "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" drivers - tried to download some Arc/Arc S GordonGate drivers from russian forum but the link is dead / unresponsive

this is the Copy/paste from russian forum


necessary VID and PID are contained in a file called Zeus.inf

and the preview of the Zeus.inf does contain necessary VID and PID

ZEUS Flash Device

[GGSEMC_Install.Service_AddReg]
HKR, "Parameters\SLNames", "VID_05C6&PID_9008", 0x00000000, "EPIUSB"

[Strings]
SEMCName="Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications"
MfgName="Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications"
DeviceDesc.ZEUS="ZEUS Flash Device"
SvcDesc="SEMC USB Flash Driver"
SvcFltDesc="SEMC USB Flash Driver Filter"
InstallationDiskName="SEMC Flash Installation"

but is it for Win 7 x64

if not i can manage to use Flashtool on Win 7 x86 but i still dont have the drivers needed to try this...

only the preview on russian forum

there is my whole story and the problems I encounter with XZ

But I will check Your thread (every few hours) to see if You managed to obtain the driver :)

You can check out my whole story with XZ if interested and if you have time to read a bit more :)
