adb can't detect my sony xperia z5 compact

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my Sony Xperia z5 compact but when I have to plug the device on the computer, nothing appear to be attached:

adb devices
List of devices attached

I'm under Osx Mavericks. I also tryied on Windows 7 (sp1) without success. I enabled developer mode and OEM unlocking.

I found there adb can't detect Sony Xperia s although I installed driver that I must put my phone in Mass Storage mode, but there isn't this option in the menu, I only have:

  • Charge only
  • MTP (MEdia Transfer Protocol)
  • PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)
  • RNDIS (USB Ethernet)
  • Audio Source
  • MIDI

Also, when I choose one option from this menu it doesn't seem to save it as if I close and reopen the options it resets it.

I tryied this solution <adb devices command doesn't show my xperia z - got proper drivers and all> on Windows without success.

I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1. The phone model number is E5823.

Do you have any tips? Suggestions? At this point I'm really desperate...

Solution

  • Turn off the phone while connecting it to the computer, press and hold the Volume Up key. The notification LED becomes Blue.

    Install fastboot drivers. To do this, follow a tutorial with the method of your choice, and using the Unlock_SE xperia_bootloaders.zip file.
