Flash Kernel on WT19a - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Well, I've recently bought a WT19a (not "i", in Brazil it's "a").
I was havin' trouble with installing a custom ROM, so I though that's the fault was with the kernel. Now, I try to flash the kernel, but I'm not able to enter in fastboot mode. I've tryied with adb reboot, and press the volume up key while pluging it on USB, but it doesn't enter. Can anyone help?
Ah, and I've tried with the FlashTools, the FastBoot, and with the X and Rage kernels.

Branded phone, right?
Branded phones need to be unbranded first.
Oh, and to install custom ROM and kernel, you need to unlock bootloader.

And, I've been using the Wotan Client, now using the (most stable version for myself) 4.0.2.C.0.5 firmware (well, this is branded, but I installed it a few days ago, just beacuse of this problem....

You need to enable fastboot first.
I am on my phone right now, can't search for the right topic.

[Q] Neo v Can´t enter in fastboot mode

Hello everybody!
Recently bought a xperia Neo V and would like to install custom roms on it and kernels,
however I can not put the device in fastboot mode mode to flash the kernel.
Have rooted the device, installed the CWM and the unlocked bootloader by testpoint method.
According researched, to enter the fastboot mode should hold the menu button and insert the USB cable
but when I do that the phone turns on a red light and charging symbol appears. the device goes into flash mode (green LED) and has usually managed to install custom roms but not kernel.
My phone is SIM unlocked.
I appreciate all the help available ...
Sorry for my poor english...

If your phone is sim locked you cannot enter in fastboot because it is also locked.
You have to unlock the phone (search for SE Tool or Omnius) and then you'll be able to enter into fastboot mode.

Type *#*#7378423#*#* if rooting status =yes then you should have fastboot, power off the phone hold menu and connect to pc led should be blue, if not try reinstalling the drivers. Tbh flashtool handles fastboot too, I don't know why less experienced people don't just use that, you can't make a mistake with the commands and it solves the driver issues.,

There are many threads that walk you through setting up fastboot, or if you in a hurry or too lazy to search use the fastboot toolbox included in flashtool.

Neo V Not entering into FastBoot
HI,
I have Sony Ericsson xperia Neo (MT11i 11W41). Couple of days before I received online update. I accepted, and downloading and installation started.
After that my mobile gone sleep mode. NO LCD Display not charging indication. Green led flashes on mobile charging, and orange 3 flashes on Power up.
I spent lot of time on net but could not find solution to power up my mobile. I did many firmware through flash tool, Zero point and S1 Tool But no solution.
Even I tried Emma, it displayed all information and shows “Phone is locked”.
Any help to solve this issue?

[Q] Dead after unlock.

Hi
I unlocked my daughter's Ray with wotanserver and it worked fine but I think she might have done an OTA update as she got a message to say the the sim was unrecognised and she needed a reset, which she did and then brought the dead phone to me.
It does not boot at all and does not show up on the PC
BUT
It does get to the Sony logo when I plug in the charger or try to fastboot to PC. (Goes into fastboot with Flashtool but led goes red and is not recognise when I try to use ADB command line to use bootloader unlock with fastboot.)
Flashtool, S1tool and SUS all recognise it.
I have reflashed it with both Flashtool and SUS and tried repair with sitool and wotan.
I have tried different methods on the forum but nothing works even though it doesn't seem completely bricked.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks - it was worth a try!
Still no change except the loader has changed from r4A069 to R4A069.
Does this mean the bootloader is now definitely locked and I need to unlock it to get the phone to boot?

Yup ur BL now is locked

I though I should say that the power button does nothing at all, the phone only boots to Sony logo when connected to PC or the charger is plugged in.
Is it possible the boot loader is corrupted?
Since trying the OTA unbrick, apart from the bootloader being locked, I cannot connect in fastboot.
Having read around it could be that the Trim Area is corrupted but the fixes I have found do not work. When I try to flash a loader (x10 but meant to work on all xperias) I get an error from flashtool saying there is an error reading the loader,sin header..
Any ideas at all would really help.
Could anyone help if I try one step at a time?
First, I want to unlock the bootloader to see if that helps with the bootloop problem.
I cannot enter fastboot anymore to use flashtool or command prompt unlock.
When I connect to flashtool in fastboot, I get the message that the phone is connected without USB debugging and then the LED changes to red (charging) and the device disconnects.
Any ideas please?

Use Fastboot mode to fix my phone!

So i woke up to find that my xperia z2 is turned off, I thought it needs charging so i connected to charger then the Sony logo appears and nothing happens.

Please Could you explain for me? i have the same probleme and i don't have a solution.
I have the answer, same problem, and got into TWRP Recovery:
1. Obviously, ADB, Fastboot, Drivers, flashtool installed (In windows 10 you need to disable driver signature enforcement, which resets after reboot)
2. Download techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/sirius , and Pick Stock kernel Repack ( credits to Dees_Troy https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772879)
If flashing anything via fastboot fails (too many links, not allowed, no permission etc), unlock bootloader via
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 0x"(code from here https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/)". You can find IMEI in the little latch above micro sd card slot/
3. Flash Via fastboot Kernel Flash DooMLord Method (I flashed stock system first viafastboot from xperifirm, not sure if necessary)
4. Restart phone, press Vol down repeatedly
Fastboot mode with Bootloader Unlock Allow: No
Hi, I don't know, but what I'm going to tell you is a bit strange, I don't know if someone happened to it, it turns out that I have a sony xperia m, model: c1905 and it turns out that the bootloader is locked in: no, but so for stumbling probe in fastboot mode and if you let me in the blue light turns on,It was from vodafone, but it is free, because it does not put any number in what is SIM LOCK, but if it puts an X but not numbers, we are going to be released, but it has surprised me and even more, that it lets me enter fastboot mode With the bootloader unlock allowed: no, then it is to know from there, what should I do,If now, I should unlock it with the code of the bootloader unlocking sony page or I don't know, that's why I ask before doing anything, and then without knowing what I do, load my phone, I would be grateful for this if there is any solution , and if someone else has happened this strange, thanks and regards

Bro, You can unbrick your device by flashing. First you need to remove back shell of your device then you need to flash your device in EDL MODE (EDL = Emergency Download ) . If you want help you can meassage me . i will provice you with Flash file & Instructions
I also brick my phone, what i did was unlock the bootloader again, connect to miflash, flash the stock rom, wait like 10 minutes, and force the reboot on reboot went again to fastboot, on the folder plataform tools of adb, go to cmd, and write "fastboot set_active a" , force the reboot again (pushing the power on/off button like 20 secs) and it boot

Bro. you can unbrick your device by using EDL method. you can search it on google
I have bricked my phone 2 months ago, and even xiaomi repair center said there's nothing they can do. I have the same situation with OP, it keeps rebooting to fastboot mode, and EDL flashing does NOT work for me. The repair center said that the only hope of the phone is getting the full motherboard assembly replaced.

Did you try erase and flash via qfil + edl. The IMEI/Mac addresses and efs data needs to be re written but I think it will fix ur brick atleast. From wat I understood u have locked the bootloader back after flashing a custom rom. Secure boot will not allow the custom rom's to boot with bootloader locked coz the signatures do not match the phone's factory signature burned into the phone's bootloader.
This could help u understand:
https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/boot-flow
Note: each time u flash the phone via qfil or edl in general restart the phone in edl mode, qcom phones are allowed to be flashed via edl mode only for the first try after putting the phone in edl mode, the second and the following times u try u will get a Sahara fail error.

It is highly recommended to lock the bootloader by flashing fastboot rom via MiFlash, as it has basically no chance of getting bootloop caused by any unauthorized modifications, just remember to set active slot to a before flashing to prevent any problems.

I can't get stock android booting. Flashed via MiFlash. Always back to fastboot.
