Installing USB Flash drivers (common for all Sony Ericsson phones)

Take any Sony Ericsson phone

Power it off

Remove the battery and install it back

Keep holding ‘C’ button and connect the usb cable during that

When system asks for New hardware installation, choose:

No Not this time

"No, not this time" when asking for using Windows Update

then choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"

click "Browse" and look for drivers in the path: C:\Program Files\D-UltimateUnlocker\Drivers\USB Flash vX.X.X.X
* in case you installed the application elsewhere, replace
“C:\Program Files\D-UltimateUnlocker” by your install path

click "Next" and then "Finish"

The phone may power on itself after a minute, so when driver installation is finished, disconnect the phone and remove/install its battery
