I'm helping my friend here
He did a full wipe on his X10, and now, his phone cannot boot, and neither can it enter recovery. My Mac can't even detect it(adb and fastboot cannot detect it).
Help :/

Repair it using PCCompanion
Adding to that, you may also find it easier to do it on a windows-based pc.
This is caused by did the full wipe and then reboot the phone. At this time, there is no system files in the phone so it won't boot. Need to repair using PC Companion or SEUS or Flash Tool.

Hi,I am this friend who cleverly full wiped with xRecovery.However, my windows7 computer still cant detect my phone,and proves to be a problem.Anyone can help me by giving me a step by step in getting my phone back into flashable mode? or help fix this?
Same kind of problem here with a friend's phone I usualy use a htc desire.
He updated hi X10i (stock, not rooted), since then there's no boot, only exclamation mark for a few secs, and no usb.
I tried "<="+usb/power on -> exclamation mark, no recovery.
It's not detected in any way by my pc (installed sony tools etc...), windows or linux (no kernel message at all), same usb port, same cable, my htc phone works in both.
What can I do ?
Thanks !
You have to connect the phone in flashmode...
Use the link "How to use PC Companion" in my signature
I had the same problem a while ago. Phone not detected by PCC/flashtool, SEUS, no xrecovery... started to panic
Then i read a post here somewhere about wotansever - its free but you gotta sign up.

It detected my phone where all others failed and flashed it back to stock rom.
Try it - it works
Once you get it working again heres a great guide for flashtool (flashing/rooting/BL unlocking)

Thank you, i read a little about this but i'm affraid my problem is "before" any software since my phone is not detected by my system, neither running windows 7 nor linux.
It does not turn on when pushing "<-" and pluging usb.

hey i tried to installed the rom you are currently using and i have my bootloader locked and when i was promted to setup the installation the touch on my phone was not responding and it seems that i just clicked on next and also appears that because of that my phone not is just stuck at logo, hope you can give a tip on how to instal this rom
After playing around with cooking my own rom from .290 stock I thought I had hard bricked my ZU
No recovery
Flashmode and Fastboot would only connect for the briefest moments
Flashtool could not flas an FTF as it would say "device disconnected" immediately
Flashtool could not flash a boot.img as the device would again disconnect before you could do any thing
The saving grace was @jackie099 's 4.3 root tool - used as it wasn't intended to be used
The thing with this tool is it waits for the device then flashes the boot.img where flashtool is the other way around for flashing a boot.img. ie the device has to be there before selecting the .img.
It may have taken 10 or more attempts to get a working recovery on the ZU
I suspect that I could have managed the same using adb/fastboot at the command line?

ps make sure that you keep a working rom and nandroid backup on the sd card - ie don't del the wrong nandroid and del the old rom's to make room
EDIT:
After 3 hours of fretting and thinking I had well and truly bricked the ZU and wasted $800 (yes I know that our money down here is near worthless ) I rebooted windows this morning - looks like most of the troubles was windows 8, and I had just a normalish soft-bricked ZU that any noob could have fixed.

With locked bootloader... Nah!!!! It's next to impossible to brick this beast....
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk
I managed to screw up while trying to root .290, my fix was to relock the bootloader via flash tool, then use PCC to reflash stock.
I bricked mine a couple times trying to root and install recoveries. I just used FlashTool. Worked for everthing.
The problem was not the soft brick, if I was worried about that I would not be playing with cooking my own version of 290
The problem was windows, with in a tenth of a second of connecting the phone windows would do something (reset the connection?) and then flashtool etc would say device disconnected. .1 of a second is not long to try an flash a boot image
Ps I have an unlocked bootloader
^^ you did "restart" in that special mode that allows unsigned drivers in win8 prior to setting up flashtool etc? (sry, don't a link, check flashtool thread maybe) 9 times out of 10 this is the issue with win8.

yep drivers all install correctly, was working fine one flash, then 15-20 min later after another (failed) flash it wasn't
in 14 years of linux I'm sure I never had the amount of random issues that I'v had in 6 months of windows 8
Yesterday I run into a similar problem when I try to flash the C6833 to my C6802. The flashtool stuck for like 10 minutes, and I had to leave urgently so that I.... manually remove the cable.
When I got home, I started everything again, and this time, it works for me.
To OP: I also had problem with windows8 because it does not recognize the drivers no matter how I tried. Desperatedly, I switch to Windows 7 (I have 2 system running), everything was pretty smooth and straight forward.

Win 8 you have to boot it into it's special boot mode and click through about 4 pages to find the correct place to tell it to load unsigned drivers,then it will work. But this wasn't an issue with unsigned drivers.
@blueether I had a ZU with locked bootloader, but after flash kernel with flashtool my phone is dead... No led, no power, PC can't recognized any driver...
With @jackie099 root tool you had put your ZU working?

Yes I used jackie's tool, but the real issue I had was windows not the phone.
How much battery did you have before you flashed?
What exactly did you flash?

Does flashtool say anything when you connect the phone?
Have you tried a reset (hold power and vol +) or have you tried a hard reset (the red button in side of the sim cover)?

The issue you're facing might be directly related to trying to use flash tools in Windows 8 rather than Windows 7.
There is an issue installing the drivers you need to flash the phone in Windows 8.
You need to enter something called 'special mode' and tinker with a few settings.

Same error in Windows 7 and Windows 8...
it seems like ive done the impossible with bricking my phone, locked bootloader and not rooted. power went out when 4.3 almost finished flashing and the phone wouldnt go into flashmode or fastboot. charging it would have flashing red> solid red> then nothing > and repeat.. trying to hard reset react sometimes and the red reset button does nothing.connecting it to the computer would make the "connected" sound then constantly play the "disconnect" sound.. nothing shows up in hardware management.
the good thing is i called sony on dec26 and recently got an RMA number, didnt have proof of purchase since it was a gift and the rep told me my warranty is still there so i sent it in and they just received it today, hopefully ill get a working zxu back soon.
Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)
Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out the newest CM12 ROM with A5.0 but seems like it didnt exactly happen how I wanted it. Rooting the device and then installing the XZDualRecovery without a problem. Then downloaded the ROM and gapps.
I have SGP311 (pollux_windy) so I downloaded that version of the CM12 at first. It said that my device is pollux, which I ofc was dumb enough to just skip and download the pollux ver and then install that one. So I installed the pollux ver instead of pollux_windy and when I hit restart device I didnt see it boot again.
So I wanted to connect it to my PC, PC didnt recognize it ofc. Only way my PC regonizes my tab is by fastboot mode. I had to install a driver for that. And even then only the Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde recognised it. I run into bootloop various times before with my tab and Emma always fixed it but thats unfortunately not the case here as Emma doesnt recognise it either :/
So now here's the problem, I can only do fastboot mode (not flashmode) and the only program able to do sth with my device is this Sony Mobile Flasher. I downloaded a official FW there and wanted to install it but it required me to go into the flashmode which I can't.
Is there sth I can do? The only thing working is the LED and fastboot mode.
Is there a way to put the device into flashmode via PC, that would solve all issues or maybe a trick to go into flashmode? As there was some thread about it but the thing they did didnt work for me :/
Please help
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, I just forgot how to use Emma....
For anyone to whom this happens:
Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
Connect a USB cable to your computer.
Phone: Turn off your tab.
Connect your tab to the USB cable while holding the VOLUME DOWN.
Computer: Select the software you want to flash in the Service list. The tool automatically detects the tab and lists available software versions, which are called Services in this flash tool.
Click on Apply Service. The tab will now be flashed.
Phone: When you have flashed your device, you can disconnect your phone from the computer. The first time you start your device after you have flashed it, the boot-up might take a little longer than normal.
Hello friends, i have a problem with an old Sony LT18i from a cousin, he brought it to me because he has the China Mobile variant with no GApps and android version was 2.3.4, i thought it might be solved with a simple flash via FLashtool, but when i've completed the downloading of the ftf file and went to flashtool to flash it, when the flashtool ask me to put it in flashmode pressing the back button and connecting to usb the phone led only blinks of 0.5 sec and then boots into normal mode.
Tried the same with fastboot and then i got the same blink for 0.5s with no detection at all. That surprised me as well i've have flashed succesfully other Xperia devices with no problems of led blinks at all. Now my problem is that later i tried to root the phone and installing CWM to flash another ROM or GApps package, and when i finished to install the recovery now the phone is bootlooping and never gets to boot normally.
I've tried with 4SE dongle to flash it via Testpoint and it doesn't work as the phone manufacture model is 12W13 (new security) which the dongle doesn't support, tried with S1 Tool with version 28II215 and 080714 and i only get PHONE NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS MODE when i try to flash and when trying to unlock the bootloader it gives me NOT SUPPORTED MCU REVISION.
The phone was working well until the CWM installation except for the flashmode and fastboot mode, now i really need to flash it and i can't find a way to do it, i also have RIFF JTAG and Z3X Easy JTAG box but no JTAG available for this model except for Medusa Box which only supports phones with manufacture date less than 12W10, i was wondering if there´s a way to access via QHUSB_DLOAD mode doing the testpoint to manually flash partitions to device or something like that. If you might have a workaround or a solution to at least let the phone in the way it was it will help me a lot. Thanks in advance, sorry if my english isn't so great.
