Now that you've downloaded the suitable driver package for your device, it's time for you to install it. Some OEMs offer standard installer executables, which means you can easily install the whole driver suite by double-clicking on the setup file and following the wizard.
Finding the proper drivers for your Android device can sometimes be a pain. Be in pain no longer. The following is a list of download links for USB (adb and fastboot) drivers for Windows (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1, 32-bit and 64-bit) for each major Android manufacturer. The drivers are for Android phones and Android tablets.
The following is a file that installs the ADB and Fastboot drivers that work with pretty much all Android smartphones and tablets. It is recommended to try this universal drivers installer if you need drivers. If the universal driver does not work, then proceed to the other download links below.
I found a page with instructions which pointed me to a Sony site where you can download a android_winusb.inf file which one is supposed to copy over the one in the Android SDK folder under extras\google\usb_driver\.
On this thread, I found a link to a thread on XDA Developers where one can download a "fastboot package" and "32/64bit drivers", but I am hesitant because these are EXE files from an unknown source and the thread's title suggests this is for Xperia Arc, not ZR.
I have seen this comment to a question concerning fastboot drivers and USB device IDs, so I tried to replace device IDs for SingleAdbInterface, CompositeAdbInterface and SingleBootLoaderInterface (sequentially, not all at once) with the one which I got from the Device Manager, which is USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE&REV_0100. Unfortunately this didn't make any difference, the drivers are still not recognised.
@rabbanifaridzi:disqus make sure your phone is properly entered in fastboot mode and also make sure that it is properly connected with your PC. It is either an issue with the connection or with the drivers.
When you are looking to use bootloader mode of the device to unlock it, or install TWRP recovery, you need to have correct ADB and fastboot driver, as givne above, and the original OEM driver, also given above.

WARNING: If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
I did some cleaning up in Device Manager and removed two drivers that were downloaded from Windows Update for ADB, so now I have phone's entries under Universal Serial Bus devices, not under some custom categories like before. I also added USB\Class_FF&SubClass_42&Prot_01 ID to the list of Prevent installation of devices that match any of these devices ID group policy, so the OS won't try "updating" them. Manually installing ADB Device through update wizard in Device Manager while phone is in fastboot mode also works and makes it visible to fastboot utility.
If I encounter that problem again with fastboot mode requiring driver re-install, maybe I can just add the USB\Class_FF&SubClass_42&Prot_01 ID to the CompatibleIDs value under device key in registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB in hope to prevent it in the future.
Just to confirm, there are XP and later manufaturer drivers. Most likely you used this one in the past. -e3-xperia-e3-dual-driver/The manufacuter so0109adb.inf file uses the same driver and settings for ADB and fastboot mode.winusb.sys is used in both cases. _software_developmentADB and fastboot is a generic Android feature.Back to Windows 10 default files. No drivers added.ADB is installed out of the box.At fastboot select winusb.sys manually.
The device ID when in fastboot mode is VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE, so that *.inf couldn't help the OS detect it as compatible with the driver. But you can still set it for use with fastboot mode by manually selecting it in driver update wizard.
It's good that at least for ADB mode, it works out of the box either way. Though by default settings, OS might still see fit to download "drivers" from Windows Update, even though no specialized driver is usually involved since it's all just about the .inf file identifying and setting up the device to be driven using winusb.sys.
Xperia Manufacturer offers Emma to flash a device. Emma dosn't use fastboot mode, flashmode is used instead.Emma does use a Gordons Gate driver ggsomc.sys, signed by 'Sony Mobile Communications AB'. -devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
Sony dosn't offer a fastboot driver themself. -devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/Sony recommends android.com USB drivers, android.com recommends Sony OEM dirvers.Loop closed, no signed fastboot drivers.
Back to Windows 10 1507. There is winusb.sys driver integrated.But neither ADB nor fastboot inf file.Xperia Z3: Both ADB and fastboot does work, by selecting winusb manually at device manager.To summarize this:Windows 10 1511 and later supports ADB out of the box. A signed driver is integrated.As for fastboot, select winusb manually at device manager.
It looks like clearing old entries in Device Manager that was setup by INF file that came with those drivers from Windows Update, deleting said drivers, setting up fastboot device entry using device update wizard and picking built-in ADB Device helped with the issue of the said device entry for fastboot mode being reset under certain circumstances.
5) I restarted my phone by holding volume-up and on/off button. after that the led turns blue and the display remains black. After several times pressing and holding the on/off button the phone starts properly. Now my Win7 searches for a "S1 fastBoot driver" and couldn't find it. Researches about fastboot let me know that I would need this to flash my phone. I don't like to flash my phone so I stopped searching for this missing driver.
These can be downloaded for Windows and Mac (Android devices, ADB and Fastboot), generally from the official websites of device manufactures, but in case you are facing trouble, we have archived a list of all the main manufacturers and links to their USB drivers/ PC Suite (which include driver).
@siddharth I just signed up to this Sony forum for only one reason. To thank you Your solution (the first one) worked even though my mobile make is different (Swipe Elite Plus).Guys,Follow Siddharth's guideline and you should be able to save yourself from ending up with a brick phone or having to explain to that mobile service person why we selected the USA band in the first place!just make sure to do the following before you input those commands in the command window:1) Make sure to install " Android ADB Interface" Driver for your mobile.2) Make sure to install "Android Bootloader Interface" Driver (also called "Fastboot driver") for your mobile.The "fastboot erase" commands will NOT work if you do not install the fastboot driver. In other words, if this driver is not present, the "fastboot erase modemst1/st2" commands will just keep waiting in an infinite loop. It will just say and will not proceed with deleting the modemst1 or modemst2 folders in our phone that were created when we stupidly selected the USA band So make sure you do that. Below is a tutorial I stumbled upon, that would help you install the above 2 drivers. The tutorial is pretty long, overdrawn and the suggested software occupies a lot of space. But we can always uninstall these unwanted software (JDK and Android Studio) once we have executed the commands outlined by Siddharth and as soon our phones are back to normal.Tutorial --> How to Set Up ADB and Fastboot with Android SDK on Windows 7 & Windows 8 -to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/Note: During the fastboot driver installation process (page 3 of the tutorial), if you are unable to get into your phone's "fastboot mode" even after pressing and holding down combinations of volume and power buttons, just make sure you have the "ADB interface driver" mentioned above all set and that the command prompt command "adb services" correctly returns your device number as described in that tutorial. Then, just key in the first command alone, which is:adb reboot bootloaderThis command sends instructions to your phone that puts it in "fastboot mode" or "bootloader mode", which is essential for:1) Installing the fastboot driver2) Executing the "fastboot erase modemst1/st2" commands in the command prompt window.
b) While your phone is connected to your computer and your phone is in fastboot mode, Device Manager should list the driver named "Android Bootloader Interface". Get into the properties window (right click the driver listed in Device Manager) of the driver and make sure it says "this device is working properly".
6) Make sure the ADB Interface & Android Bootloader drivers are working properly by typing "ADB Devices" and the "fastboot devices" commands in the command window (as mentioned earlier, open command window from inside of the platform_tools folder) and that it returns the contents similar to the following image, with your device ids for ADB and Fastboot listed. Make sure to type the command "adb reboot bootloader" before trying the "fastboot devices" command. Meaning, this command might not fetch the fastboot devices connected to the computer unless you are in your phone's fastboot mode. 2b1af7f3a8
