Sounds like either your driver isn't installed or you are running Windows 7 or 8 64bit

You can either use another Pc running XP, Vista or Win 7 but 32bit versions only as the Flashdriver is incompatible but I also believe that Microsoft has a Virtual mode on Win 8 which I think M/S has a free XP operating system to install to it but I can't be sure - I'll look it up[ and post back later

So you can run a program called Hyper V found here or it may already be installed but needs turning on - This then allows you to install XP etc to that virtual Pc, There is a downloadable XP from M/S but it says it's for Win7 only however there are forums which members have said they have it working - File is here or if you have an XP install disc then you can use that just remeber to install it to your virtual Pc once done you should be able to use Fastboot and Flashtools for the use of Unlocking your Bootloader and Flashing Roms and or the stock .FTF files

It's the incompatibility due to your system been a 64bit so it's not your phone and your Pc is fine it's simply because it's 64bit

You need to be rooted 1st

Then you need to install Busybox from the Play store, Make sure on your phone you have usb debugging enabled and unknown sources ticked then download this file here extract the contents from the rar file to a folder then inside said folder run the file called cwm-install-en and follow the on screen instructions - If all goes well when you turn your phone on a blue LED will show in the top left corner when it appears simply press the volume down key or up key

Have you opened Busybox on your phone and installed it as you can install it but you also need to open the app and install the applets as they call it, and you do have Unknown sources under Settings - Security ticked and USB debugging enabled under Settings - Developer options and tick the box USB debugging after turning on Developer options

Try this file here for the V for CWM extract run the Install and choose option 4

Re: Error when rooting Xperia U with Flashtool

austin27 — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:05:37 GMT

i am running ICS and i ticked the unknown sources and also ticked usb debugging !!!!!!!

it says problem with adb drivers so i think as u suggested erarlier that its not comaptible with win8 thats the problem rite ????

You are using an Xperia V and running ICS - I thought or wrongly assumed you were running JB so try this here which is the right file for a V running ICS the others are for the V running JB and if it still doesn't work then you have a driver issue as mentioned earlier

Well if your interested here is the download link for the JB firmware for use with Flashtools

and if you do then use the file in post 12 to install CWM

austin27 — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:29:11 GMT

Re: Error when rooting Xperia U with Flashtool

On Xperia V running ICS press repeatedly (not holding) volume-down button until the phone vibrates

On Xperia V running JB try one of these: Press repeatedly (not holding) power button until the phone vibrates

Tap repeatedly the screen

Wait a few seconds and you will be on CWM
