[Q] what is the flashmode & how to enter it - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hey guys, i have an XS and i'v unlocked the bootloader and am trying with the pre-rooted and the flashtool says ( please connect your devise into flashmood )
i'v tried to press the Volume up button then plugging it a blue led shows but nothing happens with the flashtool
any ideas...

Flash mode is when you press vol down while connecting the USB cable(green led).
This is only to flash officials firmwares,baseband and kernels via flashtools.

Ok sorry for that but the phone is fully bricked no vibrations upon pressing the power key combinations and the oddest thing is that it goes to flash mode after few minutes and again back to red led when connected to pc

i am having the same problem my phone has an orange led while on usb connection,the power combinations do not work and the worst part is that it turns green after some time on usb connection and again goes back to black so i cannot simply install ics on it and the only option to use my phone is to install ics on the device because it's rooted
feel ya
my phone acted the exact same way, after i tampered with my rom, but hoping that its this simple for you too would be naive, but one can Always Hope my usb-cable was a bit Bent, so i pushed the usb-pins in the phones connector a bit towards the middle of the connector and it connected again the red led can simply mean discharged battery, but it can also mean full hard brick :-/ and yeah right, u can try to repair with pcc Good luck
still cant use it

Now there is a trick to revive it..
Tested by me!!!
Dont skip this step:-
"Charge battery full and shut device down by pressing volume + and power key untill phone vibrates 3 times"
(despite your device bricked cause when u charge or hit power button there is a supply and your device hasn't shut completely)
"Don't connect the phone to desktop until the point no 3-4 below"
1)Open flashtool
2)select the files for flashing
3)when the Popup hits your screen to connect your device in flash mode wait for it to repeat 2-3 times and then connect it asap
4) you will see the device detected and flashing starts the green led goes red for flashing mode
The timing should be spot on!!! If you can't get in one go try a couple of times...
I got my friends Sola working like this!!!

Download official ftf for ur device
Simply flash via flashtool
Hold the power button down + volume up key at the same time until it vibrates once and then three more times, total 4 time vibrates. Now your phone is completely switched off. Now hold the volume key down while plugging in the usb. (first connect it with pc then phone).
This will make your phone to go into fastboot mode. Then using flashtool you can flash new kernel or rom for your phone. Hope it helps

1. Connect your phone to your computer with USB, (press volume down button before it)
(until you see your phone's LED turn to green
2. Open flashtool
3. Click flashmode
4. select kernel to flash. (.54 Sola original kernel (just google it)).
5. You're ready! Try to boot, if it success. Turn off your phone again. And flash your kernel with CWM included.

[Q] Xperia P possible brick. Need help

Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum, but i find it the best place to find answer to my problem...
I own a Sony Xperia P and wanted to install MIUI on my phone, i had it rooted before, installed an CWM Recovery today and installed MIUI from ZIP. (Followed the instructions on the ROM page) and then it said to "Again Boot Into CWM" so i rebooted the phone and then my problem started... The phone does an vibration after booting but no screen or LED is coming up only an vibration. I got nervous and started to search over for solutions, tried to flash stock kernels or use SUS but it seems it doesn't detect phone at flashmode. When i plug in USB i get the green LED and then it comes to an short red one and dissappears. That's all i know for now if anybody of You could help me i would be really grateful

Tried it but i still have an problem that it doesn't detect my phone When i press power+Vol down it gets green light which goes into an short red one and then nothing happens
You're pressing the Power button which is the issue mate. Turn off the phone, Connect usb cable to computer, start up Flashtool and when Flashtool prompts you, holding down the Vol Key, plug in the phone and it'll work fine
Hope it helps
Cheers

Xperia Sola wont turn on after flashing CM kernel

I've tried to put CM10 on my Xperia Sola, and i've followed the guide on the freexperia site, which i cant link.
After i've flashed the kernel, which was succesful, the phone won't turn on. It isn't recognized by my computer either. Can you help me fix this problem?

Hi, there is no CM 10 for Sola, may be you flashed wrong kernel. Try charge your phone for a few hours, after that try to put on flashmode (vol - and usb plug) and flash stock ROM via flashtool.

Oh, i see!
I did this as well:
''1.Press all 3 mechanical button on the device at the same time . Yess ! yess ! all 3 buttons, The Power button , and Both the Volume Up and Down buttons .
2.When u press all the 3 buttons the same time , the device should vibrate . One Long Vibrate and then a gap and then 2 short vibrations . Let the device vibrate like this .
3.Repeat the above procedure 3 times . ( press all the 3 buttons same time and hold untill the device vibrates 3 times
4.Once above is done , then hold the Volume Up (+) button up and connect the USB cable in .
5.The devices should boot in fastboot mode with the blue lite .
Once u have the Blue lite ... u are set to go and reflash the firmware using Flashtools or any other way . '''
And now i have the blue light again, so i can flash the right kernel.
Thanks for the help!

Is the blue led still on, or is it just stuck in boot loop, or both?
Try to turn it off, long press power | volume up button untill you feel 3 consecutive vibrations.

You have to install the drivers first in order to get your phone recognized. Try pressing Vol Up + Power to shut down the phone. Hold it for 10 seconds and then enter fastboot mode and flash using flashtool.

[Q]Xperia U HardBricked

Hello everyone..i tryed to install new ROM but i installed only this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326515 .. i reboot phone and now cant power on ... If i connect charger red led flashing for 2-3 sec. and nothing happening.. if i pres Power+ Vol UP a blue led under meniu button lights up for few second and after that nothing happened... if i press Power+ Vol Down a green color lights .. and same ...nothing happened..
If i unplug charger and try to open .. only vibrate one time and nothing happening..
Any solution ? i tryed to charge it ..nothing..
P.S : i used a multimetre and battery have 3.66V
Friend, its KERNEL! I hope you used fastboot to flash the boot.img.
90% sure it isnt bricked.
Try this, switch on your device and simulaniously press upper key( dont connect to any cable)you get in cwm mode.
Check this and let me know .
What do you mean with upper key? Volume up ?
if yes i press that and for 1 sec blue led lights and vibrate.. after that nothing happened..i pressed around 5-10 sec.
And i flashed in CWM..
Well what i can see is that you have flash jelly bean kernal and you have ics stock!
When you power on the device all you can see is xperia logo and black screen right?
Power on device and continously press volume up button!
Tell me if you can enter cwm!

you are on locked bootloader right ??? you installed a custom kernel and hence u got brick ....... use Sony update service with phone switched off and plug it in when SUS asks you to ... it'll install the stock firmware and kernel and your phone will be okay.........
Simple words:-
1)download SUS
2)Run SUS
3)select phone
4)it'll give instructions how to connect phone in flashmode, do that.
5)it'll say you already have latest firmware , press repair or reinstall button.
6)wait.
7)You are done
Man, i can't entry in flashmode..the phone dosn't respont to any commands :-s
bootloader is locked or unlocked????
you have CWM installed,means your your bootloader is unlocked...i guess....
using flashtool just flash stock .FTF firmware......
i have CWM on it.. but cant entry ..i have 1 backup made with CWM but phone dosn`t respond ..
