INSTALLING DRIVERS IN FLASHTOOL IN WINDOWS 8

Share

Introduction to Flashtool
Flashtool is a flashing software that can be used to :
  1. Flash original Images (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.3 Images)
  2. Root your phone
  3. Install Recovery, Busybox, custom kernels
  4. Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
  5. Clear dalvik cache
  6. Optimize (install of JIT v2) (Disabled in 0.4, will readd it as a plugin for 2.1 phones only)
  7. Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
  8. Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
  9. Edit any text file on the device
  10. Rebrand your device

We need the drivers installed so that flashtool will recognize your device

Ok,now lets get started, go to the folder where you installed flashtool

go to drivers folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe

i bet this error keeps coming while you are trying to install the drivers




This is because Windows 8 will not let u install unsigned drivers,so in order to install them follow these steps

1. Press win+x key
2. Select system
3. Advanced system settings
4. Select the Hardware tab
5. Select Device installation settings
6.chose "no.let me choose what to do" option and save the changes

Now try to install the drivers again


this window will open up and u have to choose "install this driver software anyway" option 

This time your drivers will be installed successfully!!!!!!!!!!!!
