Xperia go bootloader issue

Hello guys,

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and when I turn off my device and after I wait 10s and plug the wire pushing the volume-up button the light turns into blue just for 3s and then it turn into charge  mode so I can't install the drivers to unlock it.I'm using windows 8.1.

Thank you in advance

Are you using EMMA?

The issue you face is that of the driver and Windows 8.1 - You could try a program called Flashtool and once installed and you run the program click on BLU and enter your code when prompted however you may need to run the 64bit version or run the program in compatibility mode and a last resort is to use another Pc running a 32bit system preferably Windows 7 or below but best to use 32bit

Guys it's happening the same again when I enter in fastboot both flashtool and EMMA finds my phone but after a while it enters in charge mode so it seems it is not connected on my pc.

flashtool also gives me these two errors http://qs.lc/4jrkb

Seems as above that Win 8.1 doesn't like the drivers which is quite common as to does 64 bit systems

I fixed all the issues, following these steps:

1.Install flashtool

2.Go to C://Flashtool (or wherever you have installed it) ->drivers and run the flashtool-drivers.exe

3.Check the options Flashboot and Fastboot

If you can't install drivers first enter in test mode in windows 8.1

Aaaaaaand done enjoy!
