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]
