Troubleshooting Tips:

Now if even after installing the driver you’re not able to get your device connected to your PC, then these little tricks may work. Give ‘em a try:

  1. Connect your phone to other USB ports on your computer.
  2. Try different USB cables. The original cable that came with your phone should work best, if not — try any other cable that’s new and of good quality.
  3. Reboot computer.
  4. Try on a different computer.

  1. does it works for xperia 2011 devices on Windows 8.1??

    1. It should. Tell us if it doesn’t.

    2. nope, doesn’t works, i tried it and the same problem…device only connects in FLASH MODE not in FASTBOOT mode

    3. yup, i have tried this before, i think this is the problem in windows 8.1 and fastboot drivers, as 8.1 doesn’t supports unsigned drivers or something (i have searched a lot for it)
      i think i have to install Windows 7 too, no other solution.:P
