I'm trying to unlock the boot loader of my Xperia U. But I'm having some troubles...
When I try to enter fastboot mode (pressing Vol Up + plugging the data cable in), I get a blue light (as supposed to) and on the Device Manager appears "S1Boot Fastboot", but my device doesn't stay on fastboot mode...
The blue light turns off and the "S1Boot Fastboot" device on the Device Manager disappears... This happens after 3 seconds after I plug the data cable in... and the phone enters in charging mode...
Is this a hardware problem? Or am I doing something wrong?
Driver on windows isn't installed correctly. Point it to the drivers directory.

How can I point to something that is not there (on device manager)?
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
Try re-installing the drivers after removing them and restarting your PC.
- If possible try to connect to a different system altogether so as to confirm if this error is not specific to your system.
Cheers !

That doesn't always work. Plug the phone in in fast boot mode. Should pop up New driver

First, I'm sorry for the wrong section, cooleagle. Will be more careful next time.
I already have flashtool installed, and I already installed the drivers within it. What left for me is try to connect to another computer.
For me seems to be a hardware problem at first, not a software.. but I will try your suggestions.
BTW, on flashboot mode it stays.
As soon as the s1boot pops up in device manager right click and select update drivers. Normally Windows automatically installed the drivers provided it is connected to internet
Tapatalked !
Fastboot driver is the android_winusb.inf file, right? I point to that, but Windows tells me it could not find the propper driver...
The thing is: no matter how fast I am on pointing to this driver, the device always vanish first on Device Manager... Is this normal?
Did the same for me when i tried the first time but i was able to update the drivers just before it disappeared. Also one thing that happens on my phone is if i keep the volume button pressed for long it reboots, if i leave the button as soon as the blue light comes up it stays.

I've tried that method that you have to be fast to install the driver
But it never works
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
The flashtool method you mean going in C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the Flashtool-drivers.exe? I already did that... but still nothing...
And I release the vol up button soon too..

i was quite ignorant when i did a full wipe of my xperia p.the only thing in my phone left was kernel,it boot until sony logo and i could not find solution to switch it off so as to enter flashboot mode.....then i found how to resart(power off ) device that battery cannot be removed. just hold the switch off button and volume + until the phone vibrate 3 times. then you could enter flashboot/flashmode by holding the volume + / or vol - while connecting the usb....i still had problem where error appear during flashing and phone resarting....i install gordon gate flash driver on my pc....and the key for a sucessful flashing of my device was when i was flashing for 1 second i notice that a screen appear on flashtoll asking to enter flashboot mode again it so i quickly removed usd cable hold the power off and volume + button until 3 vibration and hold the vol + button while connecting the usd cable it work.
to resume you must install ggf driver and have to enter flashboot twice during flashing

Hi,
I just got my Sony Xperia S (on T-Mobile in the UK) and am having problems getting into fastboot mode. Unlike any of the reported issues I can find, I am not getting five seconds of fastboot before the system resets. In fact, I am not getting any fastboot at all. When I press volume up and plug the phone in via the USB cable, it does... nothing interesting. It simply goes straight to the Sony splash and then the charging screen.
I am on Windows 7, and can probably get access to a Vista machine for diagnostics, if it would help. XP may be a bit more tricky.
Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you check if can be unlocked in the service menu. If your phone is branded they normally can't be unlocked and they will not enter fastboot at all.

That may be it. I can't get to the service menu thanks to an MMI error but if that's how it exhibits then it's plausible.

Hello I have an Xperia S, with bootloader locked and recently installed a ROOM in order to get the 6.A.1.2.55 with root.
Installed from a ZIP from recovery mode following this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009672
Now when I try to do step 7 (flash kernel and Baseband) Using Flashtool, Im unable to enter to the mode; when the windows prompts me, I turn off the phone, press and hold Vol up connect the USB but nothing happens, only the Sony Logo and then the icon of charging battery, I also tried to turn off the phone while holding Power button + Vol up (at the same time) and get the 3 vibrations, but the same result when I connect, the logo and the charging animations/icon..( no LED of any color or anything)
Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..
Thank you..
U can't use fastboot with locked bootloader
U need to unlock your bootloader first then u can flash kernels
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Yes, that I did know but the author of the ROOM doesn't have it unlocked either. Besides even if that, I'm still Unable to enter the mode, or is it because I uncheck "exclude kernel" that it doesn't enter the mode?

Hey guys,
My Xperia U is just about a week old, and would love to try out those kernel's and prepare my phone for Keiran's upcoming works.
I read DoomLord's thread on unlocking bootloader, and I'm stuck on installing fastboot drivers. I press the volume + and connect my phone to the pc.
In device manager, it shows "s1 fastboot' for just about 2-3 seconds and that's it. By the time I right click, the thing vanishes.
Can anyone help me with the driver installations please?
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
So when your in device manager and the driver shows up you need to open it up (be quick) once its open u need to update the driver. Once its finished plug the phone back in using volume up key and you should stay in fastboot mode....
Good luck

Hello Experts,
This was the best phone I ever owned. It has best in class features (camera, touch, perf ..n ofcourse cost etc.). After the eight month of mighty use i got notification from "SUS" that ICS is now available on your device. Tried Upgrading but in next hour it was showing me touch/hang issues. So reverted back to 2.3* GB.
After a month someone said try manual upgrade of 4.0 using SE flashtool. Tried and result was almost same just that this time it was random.
Again thought of going back to GB. It worked. Used Device for another month without issues. And one night suddenly it went dead. Thought that could be the case of out charge. Did Charge using USB Cable/Power cord method but result was same. It never booted after that.
One day thought of connecting my car charger then it shown "RED" LED indicator. searched on google, someone said battery issue. Tried replacing battery with same model phone which my friend owns. But Result was same.
Finally went to Sony Service Center (Pune, India). They said phone cannot be recovered. I asked them to replace whatever it takes Upto.
Since phone was brought up from import method i couldnt claim warranty.
Sorry for the long email, now question to the experts here
1.) Can this phone recovered? I tried SUS/Flashtool my phone is not getting detected.
2.) Is there any possibility that Motherboard/chips can be replaced to get this phone into functional state.
3.) Anything else can be suggested. (Except buying new phone . i already own Spice CSLMI410)

guess it was sorking anyway, it looks your kernel is fine, so check in flashtool if the device connects not in drivers list
if it doesnt connect, unpack ftf you can see some system,data and so on image files flash them via fastboot(unlock bootloader)
if when you press and hold the volume down button while pluging the usb cable in, green light just lights up, it means there is hope bro :good: I believe after that, you need to go to a folder named something like "x10_libraries" in the flashtool folder and need to find fastboot.exe. oh, at the same time, you should download a kernel suitable for you device which includes cwm recovery and copy that .img file to the same folder from the last sentence. then you should write(in cmd of course) "fastboot flash boot something.img". I believe it'll work, at least no harm to try and I guess this is the last possibility for your beloved xpeia...

You can get into fastboot without flashtool if drivers are correctly installed.
Stupid question: Have you already unlocked your bootloader? If you haven't done any modding before (e.g. flashing custom ROM) you might haven't done it so. That can explain why your phone goes charging when you plug USB cable instead of fastboot mode. Try also some Linux live distributions. Some of them have adb and fastboot included.
I have done flashing and modding.
But right now I am not able to put the phone in fastboot mode
I am expecting some helpful comments instead of asking me to search for answers.
Because I have already searched for those, came here finally.
Please provide helpful comments to put the phone in fastboot.
I am not able to find the answer
How did you unlock your bootloader?? I mean by which method did you do it?

First, you didn't provide importrant information. Which ROM you currently have, which one you are trying to flash, have you tried to update firmware via OTA, because there are some situations where you can accidentaly relock your bootloader. I assume you didn't brick your phone earlier with FOTA, like in my case.
Next, when you try to connect into fastboot mode, try it without FlashTool and open device manager and watch if it responds when you try to connect phone with usb while holding menu key. Fastboot is a command line application which can work without FlashTool (which is a GUI frontend to fastboot).
Second, you didn't read my post thoroughly. I suggested you to try a Linux live distribution, e.g. ubuntu. Just boot it from CD or USB and when it is ready you can connect phone in fastboot mode, just hold a menu key and plug the usb cable and see if blue light goes on. It will probably not solve your problem on Windows, but will give us some answers.
I too am facing the same problem!
Im currently using CyanogenMod 10 with the same Kernel which was pre-installed on the Neo V when I bought it.
I wish to change the Kernel to Lupus as it is compatible with most of the ROMs. I tried flashing the kernel with Flashtools and Kernel Flasher but to no avail.
Kindly help!

I have the same problem. I want to get into fastboot mode but nothing happens. The computer only gives a sound of connection the device and that's it. No blue led when pressing home and connecting to the computer.
How can I flash the kernel?
I have adb drivers installed
When I normally have neo running then there's no problem in turning int Fastboot pressing a lighting in flashtool
