Help with drivers for Xperia Z3 for flashtool

[dan_729]

I want to flash my xperia Z3 (Android 4.4.4) kernel from 23.0.1.A.1.49 to 23.0.A.2.93, but I have problems getting the drivers, I can't get the drivers directly from flashtool because error happens, so I tried to download the drivers from Sony's website, but that dont worked neither (is the folder called "Xperia™ Z3" that I put in Flashtool > drivers)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm having trouble flashing my Z3 in Windows 10 as it can't find the required drivers.. I've tried disabling driver signing but it doesn't seem to work.... :/

Windows 10 seems to not allow unsigned drivers. Which is a huge pain in the ass... I'm sure there must be a workaround. My workaround was installing Windows 7 on my notebook.

This might help:

a. Press the Win + C and click on PC settings.

b. Switch over to the “Update & recovery” section.

c. Then click on the Recovery option on the left hand side.

d. Once selected, you will see an advanced startup section appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the “Restart now” button.

e. Once your Computer has rebooted you will need to choose the Troubleshoot option.

f. Then head into Advanced options.

g. Then Startup Settings.

h. Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your computer one last time.

I. Here you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
