Hi I am in the last stages of installing Sailfish on an Xperia X but when I double click the fast boot for windows I find that it can't recognise my phone. I have tried unplugging it and replugging it in, in fastboot mode as one person advised but no change. I reinstalled the drivers again, no luck. I've checked I'm in developer mode. When I click on the usb icon it tells me that a Sony device is connected but doesn't recognise it . I don't really follow the advice about pinging the device and am wondering if I need to install the google usb tools. I am using Windows 10. The bootloader says it is unlocked when I turn the phone on. When I plug the phone in with the volume held up I get a tone to indicate a usb device has been connected. What am I doing wrong? Is it to do with the directory I have been using? Everything is in C under downloads? Help please. I am not an expert please try and keep things simple if at all possible. Regards Phil
