You're not the only one.
By the way, I found a fix:
I ran the fastboot, etc, on a XP PC (or just a VM in my case). It worked like a charm. I installed the drivers, rebooted the VM and now I'm on a rooted and unlocked Xperia S.
it's work ...... thanks
Related problem
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.

To elaborate, I get no blue LED under any circumstances.
Try a different USB port maybe?
Did you turn on USB debugging on your S?

I've tried a few, but the USB port is definitely working - the phone is charging from it, just not entering fastboot mode.

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.
Is there any way around this? This phone is stuffed with bloat and I really want to get rid of it.

But my xperia don't go in fasboot mode on my other PC (ADB server problem I think)

The same thing happen to me. I do not why because before I was able to do it..

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?

When my phone is in download mode, odin doesn't recognize it. If it's not in download mode , it does recognize it by saying "added". Any idea why ?

Debugging mode turned on in Developer Options in settings?
Yep... im stumped . And so frustrated. I just want to put a 4.3 rom on this thing :-/ I tried new cables...different ports...different roms...nothing works
Uninstall the Samsung drivers then reinstall perhaps...
---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------
I see you've said in an earlier post you tried that already.
Does the computer (not Odin )see the phone when your booted into system?
I'm going to have to agree on drivers. Unplug USB cable, uninstall drivers, install the latest version of Note 2 drivers from Samsungs website, plug phone back in, boot into download mode.
Nothing works :-/

Guys i bricked a mmx a310. I need the drivers required for ygdp frimware flashing. I searched everywhere and whenever i install the drivers it shows error code 10. Can anybody share the correct drivers and instructions please.
R u using windows 8.1/window10???
if yes then you need to turn off driver signature then install drivers it will work
for that go to setting---> startup and recovery----->advance reboot
then pc will restart
choose advance option----> reboot option .....select 7th option...pc will reboot and driver signature is disabled.... now u can install drives

Its no use. I got lucky two times while flashing. But it failed halfway through. The thing is as soon as I connect the device and check driver properties it shows device is working but within seconds it reverts to error code 45(device not connected) and phone starts charging. When I disconnect and reconnect same thing happens. #MediaSuck!
I tried it in windows 7 and 10 [YGDP] .

I just use a proper way to enter fastboot mode instead of using shortcut way (by command).
