Hello, I tried to unlock the bootloader but I need to go into flash mode. I follow the instructions and the cell show icon charging but the pc does not recognize. I tried on different computers. What is the problem?
My cellphone is a Xperia Mini Pro U20i
Thanks you
Flashmode - Turn off phone, hold down Volume DOWN button, connect USB cable,
green LED lights up, release the button.
Fastboot - Turn off phone, hold down Volume UP button, connect USB cable, blue LED lights up, release the button.
Which method are you unlocking? I think SE official method required fastboot mode.

"Back" buttons were for the X10 Mini's, the volume rockers are for the new 2011 Mini Pro SK17i
Volume Rocker Up - Fastboot
Volume Rocker Down - Flashmode
If your unlocking through SE official website, use Fastboot (Volume Rocker Up)

So basically when I try to go into Fastboot mode on my Sony Xperia Sola I hold the Volume up and then I connect the USB but the phone continues with a Orange/Red LED and then the Sony logo appears and bam it is in charging mode... My PC doesnt even detect a USB device(so it's not the driver).
But when I hold Volume Down and connect the USB I get a green LED...

Mybe you should hold volume up for fasboot mode.
Try use force poweroff . Press volume up + lock button until vibrate 3 time .
then try turn fastboot
You could try and do it from FlashTool:
Start FlashTool
Boot your phone up and connect it to your PC
Wait for your phone to appear on FlashTool
Click the lightning icon (Flash device)
Click Fastboot mode. A new box should appear.
Then click Reboot into Fastboot Mode (via ADB)
Hope this helps :
I accidentally restore a backup (of my previous Z2 which was on my sd card through TWRP) on my Z2 on Exsistenz LP ROM yesterday. After that phone wont boot. Battery was .70% at the time of death. Red blinking led is seen when connected to usb cable. POWER + VOL UP doesn't give 3 vibes as intended, in fact nothing. Neither red hard reset button(Tried pressing it for >3mins). Cannot enter flash mode or fast boot modes .(tried to flash stock ROM through flash tool-failed). Only red blinking LED appears when usb cable connected.
Wierd to found when I press hard reset button while pressing POWER button it gives 3 vibes. But nothing changed.
Tried "pressing and holding all 3 buttons (power,vol+and vol-) all at the same time till it vibrates once then let go of the power button and vol+ but keep holding vol - while plugging in the usb cable this MiGHT boot your phone into flash mode" But didn't vibrate while holding all 3 buttons.
Its out of warranty period as well.
Please help me to recover to recover??? :crying:
use flashtool and flash stock ftf.
connect phone with usb cable when flashtool prompt to connect the phone

Something similar happened to me recently...wonder if this is a bug in a new release or something
This is what I did.
If you can't turn off phone, turn it off using the hard reset button http://sony-xperia.mobi/eng/sony-xperia-z2/231-how-to-do-a-hard-reset-and-reboot-a-sony-xperia-z2-physical-hard-reset-button-sony-xperia-z2.html
There's a really good guide on bricked z2 somewhere on xda but I can't find it anymore . What it said was useflashtools and flash and old ftf e.g. 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 and make sure to wipe apps_log and user_data in settings.

Thanks for advice. The problem is it wont connect in flash mode. (attached usb with VOL DOWN button pressed & hold still gives only red blinking led)

If you restored another XZ2 with LOCKED BOOTLOADER's backup you probably killed your phone.
Was your bootloader unlocked?
Restoring anothers TA partition kills your device because drm keys are uniq
I can't boot on "Fastboot mode (E2303 - unlocked bootloader - firmware 26.3.a.1.33)
Hi! I've a M4 Aqua single (E2303) with unlocked bootloader and firmware 26.3.A.1.33. I've tried to boot into fastboot mode, doing this:
1 - Turn off power off by pressing Power key
2 - Press and hold Volume Down key
3 - Connect the Xperia to USB Cable
4 - Done!
But nothing happens... I'm doing something wrong or I miss anything?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for try to help! Anyway, I've just try that, the led turn blue... but nothing happens either...
Make sure you hold it while you connect it? Other than that I dont know.... Maybe enable USB debugging?
Flashmode: Vol Down
Fastboot: Vol Up
Beware, the phone will go out of fastboot mode after about 15 seconds if no computer activity takes place.

Yes, I've done everything (USB debugging enabled too, hold Vol+ more than 20secs...)
And after that "blue led" I've try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-sony-xperia-m4-aqua-e2303-firmware-t3485006
But as I said, with no luck at all...
I don't know why it dosn't work...
If you have the blue LED, that means the phone is in fastboot mode.
If your computer can't pick it up, that is usually a driver issue. Try installing drivers from the flashtool. Be aware, that you need to enable unsigned driver installation in Windows before you can do that.

SOLVED!!

1.Flash stock firmware with flashtools
2.If you can use fastboot flash kernel again use your PC
But the first method recommended

Well first of all be sure that your phone is unlocked, after try to recover it with flashtool
hey guys i did somethign wrong obviously i flashed a rom (my bad) while i was on an another rom and now my Phone stucked in Sony logo .
i tried to press volume down button to go into recovery but it doenst work.! what should i do?? i can only turn off phone with Power button + Holding Volume Up button ! i connect my phone with this procedure on xperia companion and now i am repairing software!
is this the only solution or i can get to recovery with another method and just restore my Previous rom backup?
If you have an unlocked BL, flash a custom stock-based kernel and use its recovery to restore your backup.
You can also use flashtool. Sony Companion isn't a bad way to restore device though, used this a couple of times myself.

In flashtool, you need to power off the device then hold - vol and then insert usb cable while holding - vol.
