(On your computer, you will be asked for drivers.

Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file,

and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.)

Thanks for helping but i found the answer.

To continue to step 13

must have

fastboot.exe , AdbWinApi.dll , AdbWinUsbApi.dll

from

Android\android-sdk\platforms-tools

to the folder that the cmd opens.

e.x.(c:\Users\Acer>)

And everything works just fine !!!!!!!

go to control panel->device manager

there u will see under 'other devices' section, ur device with an exclamation mark, showing its driver is not installed. right click on it & select update driver software -> choose 'browse my computer for driver software -> select 'let me pick...' -> show all devices -> have disk -> browse to the folder 'usb_driver' -> select 'android_winusb.inf'.-> ok -> select 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

dats it, ur drivers r installed. den continue ur next steps

NOTE: 'android_winusb.inf' file given by sony is probably corrupted as it didn't work for me. use the original inf file, which will show ur device as samsung fastboot device. but ur job will get done, as it did for me.... :smileygrin:

Hello there,

I tried the program but how do I know if my bootloader is successfuly unlocked ?

+ In order to use it do I have install drivers for my Fast boot devise or I just have to connect it in fastboot mode ?

If I need to install drivers please tell me where I can find them..

Thanks in advance

I tried what you said. It didn't work. It says "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems." I downloaded the sdk for 32-bit and tried using both, the sony and the default android_winusb.inf files. Also, I have the latest version of the platform-tools. My device is sony xperia sola. What should I do now?
