UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

I Want some help with the instuctions of

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

I have install SDK .

But I cant continue on step 13 .

My pc dont ask for driver as step 13 says.

(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.)

Can anyone help me ????????

Sorry for my BAD English ,

Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!!

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:
