Problem

[amulbaby]

Hey guys,

I am facing this prob. for quite some time. Whenever I use flashtool and connect my Xperia Arc in flash mode, the computer hangs without any warning and I jus have to restart it. FlashTool says that drivers for the device is not correctly installed.

Pl. help me with regard to this.
I am presently running CyanogenMod 9 Nightly version.
Flashtool: 0.9.8.0

Awaiting your reply

Don't be so mean. Have you ever got into despair when having a problem? Have you though that the forum name is not the most relevant one? By the way, where should a question like this be posted?!
TO answer the question... it is not easy so solve. You will need to clean your PC of all possible traces of old drivers. To do that, with the phone disconnected, go to Device Manager on PC (google if you don't know how). Then, remove any possible references to your phone using the information from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff184583.aspx
After that, install Sony PC Sync software. Follow the steps. At the end, it should tell you that you should connect phone.
Everything should work now (your phone will be finally re-discovered).
Before you do that, also try to disable Debugging on the phone and set the PC connection to MTP.

Good Luck!

Preferably on the flashtool thread, failing that the Q&A section, after trying to solve the issue instead of creating a new thread/post after the first failed attempt at something.

Try reinstalling drivers from flash tool/drivers
