Hello everyone, I just got my xperia sola a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far!!
I have gb 2.3.7 and updater says I'm up to date(weird)
So I was roaming xda today and saw:
rooting ICS and wanted to try it out, but found out that it wont work on gb,
so I tried to flash an ICS ftf (MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Global.ftf) through flashtool,
which also didnt quiet work out...
I jumped from one thread to another to find more outdated information, which was pretty useless
considering I cant even enter 'recovery mode'...
I would really appreciate if someone could take their time and help me (and a lot of other less knowledgeable memebers Im sure!!!)

I think that if u want update your devices u have to unlock bootloader (just searching "unlock bootloader sony xperia and go on the official page of sony).
After that u have to open flashtool (before download and install drivers of your pohone on ur computer if u don't already do it) and flashing (following one of the many guides) the firmware of ICS!
This is only one of the many ways, pay attention if u unlock bootloader u will lose your warranty!!
I too bought my phone a couple of days ago and here is what i did.
I first attached my Xperia Sola to the PC and installed Sony PC Companion
Then I updated to 6.1.1.B.1.10 using PC Companion.
Then i went here to unlock my Bootloader.
Then i wen to Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 13.10.2012] thread to Root my Xperia Sola.(Remember to turn ON(Check) USB Debugging before connecting your device for rooting by going to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.)
Now i can safely install any Apps and Games i want.
If you want to install CWM you just need to follow the guide here to install this one with CWM.
Credit goes to everyone who helped me.
Well I installed flashtool everything is fine until I have to unplug the phone and plug it back in.... i try to turn it off.... I tried pressing volume down multiple times, holding it, holding up/down volume.... it just doesnt do anything,,,, what am I missing is there anything else that needs to be done before installing the FTF file????

Turn off your phone.
Press and hold - volume button .
Connect phone to PC.
It will be connected in flashmode.
finally some movement, now I enter fastboot, and it says that I dont have the drivers installed, altho I checked and reinstalled them twice now... still says that...

Cannot go into fastboot mode either (USB + Menu button) but at least Flashtool is able to reboot it into fastboot...
...is there any similar trick to reboot into flashmode? Flashtool only tells me to do the manual stuff for flashmode.
Or, alternatively, is there any way to perform a ROM update - I'm fine with the latest SE stock ROM, I just need that fixed auto-leveling audio feature I had in my Arc since last Summer -, maybe through some fastboot injection + multiple other steps?
It's running GB 2.3.2 aka 3.0.A.2.181 and I need 2.3.4 aka 4.0.A.2.0.XX; I have root but that's it, when I tried installing CWM it did install but does not work, phone freezes at bootup when I keep pushing Volume Down at the first logo to invoke CWM.
PC Companion also 2.0 craps out when I try to run the update, telling me to take it to a SEMC place...
Thanks in advance
Having the same problem.. cant go into flashmode USB + back
What do you mean by you cant go? what happens when you try to go into that mode?
If you get blue LED on that means you are in that mode.

I meant what I said: it does NOT go into flash mode. You can try 100x it will only turn on charging, that's all.
And yes, having owned X10 and Arc previously I've done this before multiple times so I know how it goes normally... not on this Neo though, that's for sure.
So the question is: is there any way to perform an update via fastboot...?

Well, yours is a different story it seems because FT says it did connect in flash mode...
And flash mode is a green light...
Are you still holding the key and capering the flash?

Try flash stock rom (newest) with wotan server. May solve the problem.

For the love of God, Asians: PLEASE STOP ****IN' PLUGGING THIS **** IN EVERY OTHER POST.
Is it locked to a specific network? My understanding is that it'll have fastboot locked and you won't be able to get into flash mode. Mine's a Neo V, though, so the Neo may be different.
If it's the same as the Neo V then you have to unlock fastboot as well as the bootloader.
If you go to the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get into the service menu, I think one of the options tells you about simlocks. Sorry I can't be clearer, my phone won't go to that menu, presumably because I've got CM7 on there now.
Apologies if the Neo doesn't work the same way.

I've just found a similar post, which seems to have ended with the same conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305966
To unlock fastboot, I paid someone else to do it with their credits for setool.
Of course, having a locked fastboot shouldn't stop you from upgrading but I'd guess it'd have to be to a specific version that your supplier has modified.
Maybe it sees the CWM install and views it as non-standard. It might be worth flashing a stock recovery and trying again.
I realise that Flashtool was able to put the phone into fastboot mode. I imagine this "locked fastboot" terminology doesn't quite cover what it really means.
You can use flash mode, back button, greenlight with a locked phone ( sim and bootloader). Fastboot menu key, blue light needs unlocked phone ( sim)

Yes, as you can see from the log, it detects device connected in flash mode.
The phone does not boot but it's not dead, because it goes to fastboot and flash modes.

I used ADB.exe of my android SDK which is in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools instead of the ADB.exe which is in flashtool and that worked. I turned off my fire-wall and then killed adb, then i connected my phone only after the prompt from flashtool

Hey guys,
first of all i need to state that i am an asshole. i used to flash kernels and stuff when i had LG optimus one, and i just assumed that flashing xperia p is almost the same. oh, i didn't know about bootloader. so, everything mentioned is totally my fault and i can't blame anyone but myself.
the situation is as follows: i install root, cwm, and then i flash sliding_xp kernel and MoonBreaker ROM just like manual says.
then, of course, my phone won't start - only vibration and nothing more.
OK, i google, and i find out that i need to flash stock kernel to save the phone.
OK, i install flashtool, and:
06/057/2013 23:57:27 - INFO - Device disconnected
06/057/2013 23:57:35 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
06/057/2013 23:57:37 - INFO - Device disconnected
so i, like, have only two second to flash. i tried to do it and failed.
my PC runs win8 x64 and has no USB 2.0 ports, only 3.0.
i can't charge as well as it also disconnects after a couple of seconds. battery before flashing was about 60%.
any suggestions what can i do? i tend to try another PC, but i don't have any now.
@sciezka
Have you flashed with your PC before?
Jave you installed drivers from flashtool (specifically the 2 at the bottom of the list, fastboot & flasj mode)?
Try installing them following the steps in this post.if it doesn't work see the first post in that thread.

actually i failed even to do repairs with PC Companion with similiar symptomes (green/purple light goes off after a couple of seconds), but i did this with another PC. that's why i tend to do it again.
btw, but DooMLoRD easy rooting toolkit worked fine on my PC, but i guess it uses different drivers.
i also tried to do steps from that post you mentioned, but x64 restricted this modification. all i get is error message.

The rooting toolkit use adb device.
What you got error for the command lines or driver installation?
You need to run command line as administrator.

Don't even bother to flash untill you install the drivers and make sure flashmode stay on for ~45 seconds.
Did you install the drivers again in non safe boot ?
Is there a disable driver signing option in windows 8 boot menu? you can try that as well.

Likely.
Device is shut off with force shutdown?
EDIT: do you mean with windows 7 in safe mode? Win7 don't have safe boot option.

it flashed via CWM like normal, one after another, and i rebooted after i was done with CWM menu.
but it didn't boot after.
i didn't get much time on XP because those are not my laptops, my rommates only lend me in for a couple of minutes to try quickly. i didn't went so deep like i did with my PC.

I meant force shut down, hold power + volume up for about 10-15 seconds untill you feel 3 vibrations, then try flash mode and fastboot mode.
Don't flash anything just leave flashtool open to see if they are on for more than few seconds.

It's difficult to tell a boot loop that ends before the logo come on from driver problem, but worth checking the device is off.

actually while your advice was great, it appears that the other thing i did made the difference since after i reverted it i couldn't connect anymore.
my laptop has only usb 3.0 ports, but you can fix the way they work (i'm not a specialist, but i say what i understood).
in BIOS you cand find USB settings. there you need to switch off xhci and switch on ehci. that allows to connect like i need. maybe this could be helpful for someone else.

Should I Uncheck The Baseband Or Something I Had Missed Before Flashing It?
Btw Im Running XNovathor 4.1.2 V5 Currently..
Any Help Would Be Appreciated..
@TJam12
It may be corruped firmware file, connect your phone in flashmode while flashtool window is open, if it stays connected for about 45 seconds it's not drivers problem.
Why not use SUS or PCC to flash stock?
I Could But I Need To Relock The Bootloader By Flashing The Relock Ftf.. But Its Gives Me The Same Error As This One..
Btw, It Only Stays For 10 Seconds, Is It A Drivers Problem? But Flashtool Detected It Though..

Fot my understanding you can flash with fastboot, at least system and kernel, and maybe the rest you'd be able to flash with flashtool as they are small.

Not sure how safe this is if you cannot flash the others.
The others I don't know but maybe you will be able to flash them with flashtool
There is the partition image that may need to be flashed first.
Maybe it's better to find a computer that flashtool would work on.

You said flash mode disconnects after 10 seconds, normally it is 45 seconds, that could be a problem or with the file.
Try reloading the firmware file or even better, build ne from PCC files.
Start repair with PCC untill it ask you to connect in flash mode, the build FTF .

That's ultra weird, gotta hold down the volume down, but not forever.
You say it flashed without holding it down at all,?

What should i do and in which order?
What exactly you are trying to say?
Unlocking your bootloader or Flashing a rom's FTF??
unlocking bootloader.
I suggest you to start everything from the beginning,
Get all required tools, like latest flashtool, Stock 2.3.3 ftf etc.,
Flash FTF, then root your phone, install recovery. Use flashtool to install your phones drivers and flash mode drivers. Let your PC detects your phone, then try to unlock BL using BL unlock plugin in flashtool.
Post the results.

tried to flash it but it seems like my phone never gets into flashmode. (nothing happens, the phone just restarts as normally) What can i do? I've tried to install recovery and rom manager manually, and then boot into recovery from rom manager but nothing happens.
Have you installed flash mode drivers bundled with flashtool in 'Drivers' folder of flashtool?
Are you holding back button while plugging USB to phone and saw a constant 'Green' LED on?
I am sure you are not doing it in correct way, As I suggest earlier, start every thing from beginning for a better result otherwise everything will be messed up!

but cant still get into flashmode or install recovery.
when i hit the recovery button it only says to be implemented and then nothing happens.
it was a constant green led light when i used SEUS but now when i try it only blinks for a second and then boots into mormal mode. also when im trying to boot into recovery with xrecovery or rom manager it doesnt work either.

A good news for you is that your phones bootloader is now unlocked.:thumbup:
What exactly are you trying to flash ATM?
Try these steps and post the results:
*First select the kernel you want to flash (go for FeraLab GB v20 kernel) in flashtool. You need to download Feralab GB v38 ROM too. Dont forget to check final verification checkbox after selecting kernel.
*let flashtool process all pre-requisite, don't connect your phone untill flashtool asks you to. It will show an animation on how to get into flash mode.
*Connect your phone in flash mode by holding back button while pluggung USB in.
*Let flashtool to do its magic. It will take a couple of secs, then disconnect.
*Turn on and try entering CWM by continously hitting back button.
If u see CWM menu, congrates and flash ROM zip, you had downloaded!

Look bro, I am damn sure your BL in now unlock, its showing 'Bootloader status: ROOTED'
Don't confuse everything with that recovery, you need to go ahead, step by steps :/
Have you tried flashing any custom kernel yet? if not! flash any of the custom kernel for Unlocked BL available on forum. I personally suggest FeraKernel v20.

Bro, I really can't help you as now I don't have any SE or Sony device from a long time. But its seems you are having drivers problem. For that I suggest you to roll back to Windows 7, as of now Windows 8 have lots of compatibility issues with different USB devices.
CHERRY NOTE: Start everything from zero, if you are following any guide on here. My personal experience, I never failed flashing any kernel on my last two Sony devices.
