I want to unlock bootloader of my neo.
At the step:
Press the menu button and connect pc and neo with usb cable.
Neo will in fastboot mode.You can see blue led.
I didn`t see blue led and no tip of new device decied.Help me please.
I`m sorry for my poor english.Thank you
Ok so:
1. Turn off your phone completely and disconnect the usb cable if connected.
2. Hold down the right button (not the left, not the middle, but the right) and while holding (DON'T LET THE BUTTON GO) insert the usb cable in your PC and then into your phone.
3. Your LED on the right will turn blue.
4. Profit????
Not every Neo can be put into fastboot, unfortunatly i believe any device purchased on a contract from a network provider cant be, providers choice i guess.
The sony website does state this but gives no specifics, my own neo cannot be put into bootloader even if you get the network unlocked

unlock boot loader
The best way is buy a android unlock by omnius,
You must be a bit aknowledged with do a testpoint ground, but after that and for a couple of euros you have safely your device unlocked and also your bootloader.

hi all,
i just want to see which bootloader i have on my 710, but combination VOL+ POWER then plug in USB doesn't work,
even tryed VOL+ VOL - / VOL+ VOL - POWER, i have the short vibration but as soon as i plug in computer, windows phone load.
i am with Win7 and my phone has been updated recently via Zune.
any advice ?
bootloader
what are you trying to achieve here are you trying to check which bootloader you have or try to flash a custom rom or even sim unlock the device
to get the phone into flash mode its vol + and then power short vibration then plug usb lead in the computer should then detect it. all fails get nokia care suite flash the old firmware that has the unlocked bootloader, you could also plug your phone in as normal then load nss and choose the osbl option then click the arrow that will force the phone into flash mode
rob :good:
thx for the info, i'm trying first to check which boot-loader i have, but i didn't install nokia care suite yet. that's probably why the computer doesn't find the drivers and the phone boot normally in windowsphone. maybe i will install a custom rom to be more comfortable. anyhow it was not simlocked...

"On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.
Oki

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hi friends!
I have a big problem with my phone.
I've locked it with patterns, and it asks for Gmail or Security Question, and the USB debugging is off, Bootloader is not allowed....
There is no possible to unlock this phone with email or this qestion, and also I cant connect it to any Flash tool, Emma, , the Secret code "*#*#7378423#*#*" is not working too, to get into the Service Menu. I cant get in to fastboot as well with button press like Volume down + Power.
I've used all Sony tools, to unlock bootloader, but they all asks for USB debugging ON.
I am using Windows 10 Tehnical.... maybe this is the reason, but dont think so, because on Win 7 is the same problems.
So my question - How can I get in to the phone, for just enable USB debugging ?
you too ha

emm....
try rebooting by pressing volume Up and power together until the phone vibrates.plug the smartphone into a USB connected PC and press the volume up if the LED lights blue try entering the "fastboot devices" command if it is detected unplug and connect again while press the volume down if the LED lights green do flashing
I pray that your device can be used again

no i can't, i think the bottoms are dead for some reason because I try to enter the flashmood and it don't work at all. after some days i connected the phone to a electric charger and the screems shows the Sony logo and the status of battery but i can't turn on the phone o acces the flsh mode to reboot the system. it's any chance that the bottoms don't work for a software problem?? or it s easy to repair the bottoms ? thaks u all for you answers
Can you do a screen of device manager in W10? I want to know if there is any device with strange name. Do you have a unlocked BL or it is still locked?

I've also the same problem on my xperia xz1. I accidentally disabled Develover mode and soon my phone become dead. No response while i press power button or any other key combination (also can't enter fastboot/ flash mode). But while I connect to PC with xperia flashtool, the Xperia Logo appear and then a repair sign and then show charging battery. Flashtool show phone is connected with USB debugging disabled.
Please answer me if my phone is recoverable or not and what should i do.
Thanks

Do you have unlocked BL? Have you tried to fix it using pc companion or not?
EDIT There is something called Newflasher. I have used it few times but I don't know if it works with locked bootloader and disabled developer mode because I have a TA backup and unlocked BL. You have to ask on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426 and try to do it by yourself. It may get work.

Appreciate your suggestion. I tried PC companion but it can't detect my phone. I've never tried to unlocked BL.
I'll tried with Newflasher as you said.
EDIT: The newflasher can't help. I think the main problem for my phone is that all buttons are not functioning. May be I accidentally did something in developer mode of my phone before it got crashed. (when i connect to charger, screen shows Xperia logo , then a triangular repair sign and finally a green charging battery).

It is hard to diagnose through the internet but we can try to eliminate next causes. So, you can't flash due to turned off USB Debugging or because you cannot enter flash mode? It is important because if you have hardware issue with buttons fixing it may be a solution. I have disassembled my XZ1 and I know that buttons replacement is quite easy for people with some experience and they cost about 5-10$ or 4.5-9.5 euro depending on region. Have you tried safe mode? The most important is that your phone is not dead at all, so there still is a hope.
