Try installing the flash tool again, and make sure you install the driver package in driver folder under flashtool directory. Also while installing the driver package make sure you select your phone model number and also select the fastboot and flashmode drivers
That is what I exactly do..
As I'm using flashtool and do moding from last 8-9 months, So I guess I do every step properly.. btw any other advice??
Go to device manager, uninstall pre-existing drivers named Android ADB Device etc and then try.

Yup follow the steps ..
1) Install SEUS or PCC
2) Let it detect your device , once that is done then disconnect device.
3) Install latest Flash tool & reboot desktop and ur phone..
4) Switch on ur device and switch on Debugging mode on & let flashtool detect ur device...
5) If it doesn't reinstall the drivers from the below path C://Flashtool//drivers//drivers.exe
Run .exe file
6) A window will pop up for your device selection and choice of which drivers to install choose fastboot ,flash mode,Xperia Sola
7) Accept all window permissions that windows will ask you for installing drivers manually... this will take time like 8-10min
8) Once done reboot device and Desktop
Try connecting in fast boot or flash mode ... your device will be detected Enjoi
Cheers!!!

Switch off and try with volume up, in flashtool use fastboot. See if the led turns violet or similar color.

Do you have the drivers installed for fastboot and fastboot sometimes I have to reinstall after a bad flash
And double check that you have the right ftf for your phone because people have flashed the wrong one before

i ve installed flashtool xperia u drivers and the ftf is ok for my phone since its the official 4.0.4 indian firmware for st25i.
Have you tried installing SUS (Sony update service)? And do a repair on that? It might detect your phone.

Please follow the instructions :
1.Turn off the phone
[Do not connect it to the computer]
2.Open flashtool and select flashmode
3.Select the firmware and click flash.
4.Connect your phone when the screen shows the prompt with the diagrams
[By pressing volume down ,don't release the button]
5.If everything goes well the flashing will proceed.
The sequence of steps is important.I softbricked my friend's XU by following the wrong sequence(Stuck at Bootlogo and led flashes once when you try to connect in flash or fastboot mode).Following the correct sequence unbricked it....

USB Debugging off in Flashtool

Ok, here's the deal...
I'm trying to root my phone using a tutorial, so I have to flash .10 and .54 kernels.
When I connect the phone to the PC the Flashtool log says that the Debugging mode is off while, but IT'S ACTIVATED AT DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
So I can't continue...
PS: Flashtool drivers installed, Android ADB drivers installed
Sony PC Companion installed.
Have a Sony Xperia Sola MT27i, Windows XP SP3 and the last version of Flashtool.
Please help!

In order to flash the kernels u need not have to enable usb debugging
So here what u should do
Switch off phone
Keep it aside
Select kernel.ftf to flash in flashtool
Flashtool will ask u to connect phone in flashmode
Just press the volume down button (phone should b pff) of ur phone pressed and attach to usb
Try to restart Flashtool with your device already plugged in with USB Debugging on.
Sometimes happen with me. I just restart Flashtool and it detects it.
Thank you both, but if I connect the phone while holding volume down button can recognize the device?

good evening, i need some helps about the flastool using usb debug....
last night i intended to flash my a690 using another firmware that is s319. my reason was about to upgrade it to ics.
then i follow the instructions for flashing a690 using flashtool. it was succeed, i turn on the phone.... so the problem appeared, my phone can't login, even bootloop just in blank screen.
then i decided to back it firmware to stock rooom using flastool again.....and this information of error appeared.
i tried almost 3 hours by using another firmware but it wasn't succeed. i thought the error appeared because of the usb debug didn't click it.
so if there is anyone knew about this issued, please help me what should i do??
the first mistake that i had made so far was using another firmware fo my lenovo.

Hi all, if anyone is having trouble flashing with flash tool because usb debugging isn't enabled error then do this procedure.......
1. Dowload latest flash tool 0.9.18.8 and also version 0.6.6
2. Try use the latest version first to Flash the tft rom. NOTE: remember the file it has error flashing e.g on my experia sp file system.sin was not able to Flash bcoz usb debugging error (enable usb debugging and unknown sources) ALL THE REST of the files flashed ok!
3.try flash again the rom but this time tick system.sin (or error file) in flashtool to exclude it from flashing. Make sure all other files are included. Also tick all wipe caches options and flash rom without system.sin (or error file).
4. Flash procedure will work. Now disconnect phone and leave it off without restarting it.
5. Uninstall flashtool latest version 0.9.18.8 and install flashtool 0.6.6 old version and open it to Flash the same rom BUT THIS TIME only select the system.sin file (or error file) to be flashed and rest excluded. Make sure all wipe options in flashtool are enabled and Flash! THE FLASH WILL WORK WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ERROR and your phone will be fixed!
Press thanks if it helped!

No USB debugging is irrelevant for flashing.
You need to install flashmode drivers and make dure the phone is off (press volume up + power untill you feel 3 vibrations), Then beging flashing and wait for flashtool to ask you to connect in flash mode (volume down while you connect the USB)

[REALLY NEED HELP] Flashtool doesn't allow my Xperia U to flash ROMs/kernels

Hi...
I wanted to flash a kernel, so I entered into fastboot mode with the "up" volume holded, and then, the blue LED appeared, but then, it just dissappeared! So Flashtool didn't flash anything.
Again, and again, one time and other, and again.
I get bored and decided to flash the ROM I had in CWM, so I flashed it from CWM and now, I cannot turn on my phone cause it makes bootlogo.
Flashtool still does the same thing with my device when I'm trying to flash any Stock Rom or Kernel.
Please, I need the phone for daily usage and for tomorrow.
What can I do? I can enter to CWM but I don't know more things to do to solve this problem...
Help, please.
Try flash the kernel via cmd.

The problem is that I connect the phone to the PC through a USB, okay, while I connect with the USB, the blue LED turns on for a few seconds, but then it turns off, so I can't flash any kernel even if I'm using flashtool or cmd.
Please... help.
When I select "Mount usb storage" in CWM, my PC doesn't recognize anything!
I could restore a backup that I have but,...
Try removing the battery on your phone and pressing power a few times, then open stock rom in Flashtool and when it says to press the back button, insert battery-hold volume down-insert cable as fast as possible...
Thanks, really...
But nothing changes...
I've installed ADB, SDK and PC Companion but my PC still doesn't recognize the phone, so I can't add my backup to CWM through "mount USB Storage"...
Help please!
Exactly, install stock ROM through an .ftf and flashtool... afterwards you can copy your backup on the phone and install a kernel with recovery

But if PC doesn't recognize my phone, flashtool also doesn't do it!, so I can't flash anything, the green LED turns on but in a few seconds it turns off and doesn't flash anything, just turns on the phone that makes bootlogo :/
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I really apreciate
Is your boot loader locked or unlcoked?
Have you ever flashed with flashtool before?
Did you install the drivers with the installer in flashtool drivers directory(the one for your phone + falsh and fastboot mode drivers)?
Finally yesterday after three hours I could flash a stock ROM, don't know how changed but I could do it.
FINE
Thanks all!
