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 ????????

for anyone still stuck on unlocking bootloader, try using this method. I tried this, and it is working.

your computer must be running net.framework v4 (google it) for this application to work. 
hope this will help.

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?
