Hi there, I've got a SE Xperia Neo. When I'm ready to flash my phone, I found out there are some errors showing in "Device Manager", says "Unknown USB Device (Device failed enumeration)". I've already installed the drivers for ADB in a mode described as "enable drivers from outer sources"(“禁用驱动程序强制签名”in CHN). There are no such issues in XP, Vista, 7 or 8.0. I'm sure there's something missing in 8.1 support. There is another case "No ADB and Fastboot support in Windows 8.1? "(http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1_pr-hardware/no-adb-and-fastboot-support-in-windows-81/2da9055b-1376-4cc7-a207-268c1733e3cd). Looking forward to adding on the feature.

Yes their is way. Grab an external hdd and make a VM on it or make a VM on your drive space, little sppace is necessary. Get an iso of windows7 for the vm. Than download your favorite browser and android sdk plus drivers for adb and fastboot then you get android fastboot and adb on a vm on windows 8.1 works with windows 8 as well :D

Hi,

Based on my searched, I think the ADB fast boot related driver had a compatibility problem with Windows 8.1, you can check your Windows updates to see whether there is any updates to resolve this problem.

I will forward this case to our product team. thank you for your feedback again.
