[Q] PC cant seem to find my XPS after unlocking the BL - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

All the drivers are installed and i've tried different usb ports, when i run flashtool it detects SOMETHING but it can't help me since im trying to flash a new rom.
When i type fastboot flash boot kernel.elf it says < waiting for device > and i wait and reconnect and wait once again but nothing happens.
when i type adb/fastboot devices its just an empty field (doesn't detect anything)
I've tried all the search results that i've found and i can't get it to work, any ideas?

First of all, WRONG THREAD. This should be posted in the Q&A section. Keep that in mind.
Second, have you installed the Xperia S and Fastboot drivers? You can find it in Flashtool folder->Drivers. If you already have, have you tried on another computer?

Sorry about that and yeah but when i finished unlocking the bootloader the pc doesnt seem to find my device except through Flashtool and i tried flashing a kernel.sin with a CWM and then flashed KA09 but after that i couldnt flash a New kernel.sin to get out of the CWM loop so i reflashed original ftf file to get back to a working phone.
Im on my way now to try it on another computer now so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Probably can't help you, but since updating to ICS my XS constantly doesn't show up in my computer, or become found by PC companion. I have found the only way to get it to work, is to select 'install PC companion when phone is connected" option. This normally seems to get it to work.
Though I'm guessing that isn't a lot of help seeing as this is when you connect it in flash mode?

Pc companion finds the phone and i uninstalled it to see if that made any difference but without success
The problem is that i cant use manual fastboot commands from cmd prompt since it doesnt detect any devices when i type fastboot devices and when i try fastboot flash boot kernel.elf it just says waiting for device :/ ( tried reconnecting here but it didnt help)

Once you connect your phone via usb and while you are pressing volume up button, on windows go start-> right click on computer->devices manager. Now you should see your device. Right click and install drivers manually from the folder of the drivers you downloaded.
Notice that you have to be fast since and that maybe you will have to repeat this procedure several times since firsts times phone remains on fastboot for really few seconds.
You can also try another way. Download and install latest flashtool. After that go to Computer-> C:/-> Flashtool-> Drivers-> run Flashtool-drivers. Install the drivers for your device.

[Q] Rooting help

I bought my One with bootloader unlocked but the guy who sold me the phone unrooted the phone before shipping and i've tried to follow the rooting and the unlocking bootloader through fastboot methods but every time i open sdk manager it just says i have to update, i update then it says restart, and no mater what i do, cmd just keeps telling me fastboot is not a recognized command... blah blah... short question is, is there a rooting app i can purchase or if anyone can give me a helping hand?
Edit: I have followed the steps exactly, switched off fastboot in power menu, and powered off entered fastboot from bootloader, plugged in device, entered cmd and tried it but i get the aforementioned error.
Edit 2: I made the folder and placed my files and it seemed to go a little smoothly but it says waiting on device and just hangs there. The computer is still not recognizing the phone, i still get USB not recognized. try reconnecting the device....
Oh also, trying to install a recovery to this, so i can root... but just an easy way
Please help me, someone... the bootloader says unlocked btw. but fastboot does nothing when trying to flash via cmd.
if you are running windows 8 you may need to install the correct drivers, i had the same problem when i tried to root my M7 and im runinng windows 8, if youd like the drivers, PM me i cant remember where i got them from, but i have them still. Also if you can try switching USB ports, i had to use a different one and everything went kinda smooth after that.

I sent you a pm... i am on win8, and i don't think its the ports because when the phone is fully on, it i can open it through windows, its just it doesn't work when it's in bootloader/fastboot

Why don't you flash stock ICS firmware in flashmode(via flashtool)??
Have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?
You can also try (re)mounting sdcard in cwm recovery or with adb.
In cwm it's located in mounts and storage --> mount sdcard.
When you connect your phone to pc, do you see that "usb debugging enabled" notification?
If not you have to enable it from developer options. And when you try to do something with adb, does it give any error message, such as "device offline", "device not found" or "waiting for device"?

your problem is that ur drivers are crashed because of some weird reason..
Download usb deview at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html#DownloadLinks
unplug your phone..
now unzip the app and run it..
in the vendor id tab search for drivers having id as - "0fce"
Select ALL of them and uninstall them by right click --> uninstall selected.
remove sony pc companion.
restart your pc..
download latest adb and fastboot drivers here : http://rubenalamina.mx/download/525/
simply run the installer..
default install directory is C:\ADB
now turn off usb debugging and then connect your phone.
let it install mtp drivers.
now download flashtool https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
install the flashtool.
(optional but still recommended) disable antivirus and firewall of pc
go to install directory of flashtool and locate folder "drivers"
open it and run the installer.. you will see a window asking which driver to install check the following items:
-xperia p, u, sola, go, drivers,
-fastboot
-flashtool
when its done unplug turn on usb debugging and go to installed directory of adb, press and hold shift key and then right click anywhere in that folder..
select open command prompt and pass this command:
adb devices
you should see at least one device connected.
if yes you are succeeded and fastboot will work too.

bro i cant find those sony adb in device manager im using windows 7. i have installed everything but in uninstall and remove tab i cant see sony adb
This may sound silly but two things,
have you tried a different usb port
and is the sdcard mounted in cwm.
I have to make sure the sdcard is mounted before i can connect mine.
Do a hard reset hold power and up till the phone vibrates 3 times then try to connect to flashtool by holding power and volume down.

No access to bootloader or recovery, but device works. What's going on here?

The device works properly. I was able to unlock the bootloader using flashtool. The problem is, I can't get it into fastboot mode. I hold volume up, plug in the usb cable, it does a quick flash from amber to green, then nothing. From what I'm reading, it's supposed to stay lit blue. So something isn't right here, but it doesn't seem like the steps can be screwed up.
As a point of reference, I tried re-flashing the factory FTF, and even installing a different one. The results are the same. Device boots fine, but I can't access recovery or bootloader(most importantly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm on a mac, I got my unlock code from sony, and the last line says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"
I can try it on a pc, but the problem isn't the method, it's the device. ADB correctly sends the reboot-bootloader command, it just doesn't get to the bootloader. I get a black screen. Same for when I try and access recovery. It's just really odd that the device still works this way.
Would trying this on a pc with the drivers listed be any different? I'm at work now and I can use my PC instead of my macbook if it'll yield different results.

What were you expecting? There is no bootloader screen on the phone. You get a black screen when in fastboot mode, all commands are done from a command window on the computer.
Have you installed a recovery? If not then you cannot enter it. There is no factory or stock recovery accessible on xperia phones.
I would suggest using a Linux or windows machine, I have heard of nothing but problems using macs.
Is there any way I can reflash the factory bootloader with an ftf? I've done two so far and it hasn't seemed to help anything.
To my understanding, when the device is off, you hold volume up and then plug the usb cable in. This should make the led stay solid blue, but mine just blinks amber then green real quick, and nothing happens.
Can someone confirm that I'm not crazy here? It's not like this is my first time modifying an android device. I've been using android since the G1, I work as an IT manager, I use windows, mac, and ubuntu linux regularly, I've compiled my own roms from aosp...So this is really making me nuts!

The entire process worked fine up until trying to get into fastboot mode. Everyone is saying I should see a blue led, but that's not happening, and it doesn't respond to fastboot commands on my mac, and the pc installer doesn't install the drivers. I've tried searching for the driver files, but I'm not having any luck. I don't want an installer, I just want to manually select the windows driver files and force it to install.
Windows 8.1, latest version of flashtool, my device just shows up in device manager as c6833. When I tell it to search for drivers, it doesn't find anything even after having run the driver installer. Is there a website or a thread on xda that has just the driver files for the z ultra rather than a full installer?
Progress: I've pulled the driver files out of the installer. I'm going to try and get the device recognized on my pc in a bit.

Not sure what you mean, you have not altered the bootloader, just unlocked it. Also, flashing FTF's do not touch the bootloader

Yes, phone off, keep volume up pressed and attach USB cable (Volume down would be for flashmode) I think you have issues with the drivers on a mac

[Q] Can't boot on fastboot xperia mini st15i/smultron

Guys, I have a xperia mini st15i device with CrDroid 4.4.4 KitKat Rom. Recently I tried to flash RR Lollipop roms Kernel on my device. But I failed to boot on fastboot mode over and over again. I have tried different cables, different usb even different pc's. But all the time i tried to connect it to usb cable holding volume up button the blue light( which is counted as a signal of fastboot mood) blinks once and phone went into charging mood. If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.
Guys please help me with this.what can i do now? what i am doing wrong? I am totally stucked with this since last few days.

If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.
Guys please help me with this.what can i do now? what i am doing wrong? I am totally stucked with this since last few days.

I have uninstalled flashtool, removed the folder from drive, rebooted pc and then again installed flashtool and drivers as well. but its still the same. actually i am little confused about removing all drivers you said. are those drivers contained in any other places in pc beside flashtool folder?
