Hello, I have Xperia neo - Vodafone and im having some troubles with fastboot mode.
I cannot put my phone on this mode:
I tried in windows, with some various drivers, none worked, i never got the blue light, always green.
I tried in linux, same result.
Is not a driver problem, i think, i can get fastboot working with htc desire pretty easy.
I have read some post and some people say some xperia neo cant put fastboot mode:
http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/which-phones
So i could flash with other ROMs my phone with some flash utily, my doubt is: If this program can flash with other rom my phone, how it works? this program uses a self terminal and run this commands??? how it does???
Any idea how to unblock my fastboot???
Thanks alot.
Ehhm, you know that you have to hold the LEFT! hardware button?
1. Battry out
2. Press the left button and hold it
3. Battery in
4. Plug USB Kabel in
5. Blue light turns on
what left hardware button?
you are asking if i am pressing menu button(which is the RIGHT one of the 3 buttons) to enable fast boot????
-Yes, i am pressing the menu button while connecting the phone to the computer, also tryed your steps with the battery.
Yeah, you must press the LEFT Button, not the RIGHT one!
Right Button = Recovery Menu
Home Button = nothing
Left Button = Fastboot Mode
LEFT button for flashtool (green LED)
RIGHT buttor for fastboot or ADB. (blue LED)
IF dont work try reinstall drivers, safemode PC, another Pc.

Tryied with some OS in the same pc, tryied with other mobile(htc desire) and worked , so i think inst a drivers problem. I think its more likely the fastboot its disabled or something.

I think they are the same drivers, anyways i reinstalled a few times, and in ubuntu doesnt need drivers(same for the htc desire)
Fastboot won't work here either
I'm not being able to fastboot either.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Xperia Neo, as described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194823
It had 2.3.3 when i ran that process. After that i already upgraded OTA and right now it has 2.3.4. The phone is still rooted.
Right now, no matter what i try i cannot boot into fastboot mode. I have tried several drivers, i have tried on windows and i have tried on linux. I even tried using Xperia Reboot app but the result was the same. It either boots regularly or it boots into "charging mode" and all i get is the green light.
Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
hmonteiro, just the problem i have.
I also have 2.3.4 rooted.
I think it comes blocked by default and we need to unblock the fastboot mode, dont know how....

What differents is ADB and FASTBOOT?
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
After reading a few scattered posts, i'm starting to believe the reason it's not working is because my phone is network locked.
Does anyone know if it's possible to unlock the bootloader of a network locked Neo, after removing the network lock?
if u find something please say here hmonteiro!
Obrigado!!
In order to get fastboot working you need to remove the SIM lock first. I was able to do it with the service provided by Alejandrissimo
Although a but tricky to maintain the tespoint connected, it went smoothly and Alejandrissimo was there all the way.
I have not yet installed anything but i can confirm that the fastboot program now sees the device and i do get the blue light right after plugging the phone to the computer.
Hope it turns out ok for you too!
Thanks monteiro!!!!, will follow that way, will tell you if i get it working.
Try to use omnius, google it. Then you have both ready, sim unlock and bootloader.
For sure and for 15 euros.
how to open fastboot application? it keeps blinking.
I unlocked my bootloader and was using Doom kernel + a stock rom(2.3.3). everything was working fine.
then i tried locking my bootloader using s1tool.
what i did was attached my phone to S1TOOL and hit RESTORE and the bootloader got locked again.
now when i turn on my phone it gives a vibration and wont start.(no kernel logo, no sony ericson logo, just black screen)
then i tried unlocking bootloader using flash-tool but it wont detect my xperia x10, it simply says device connected but doesn't recognize xperia x10.
when i try flashing any kernel or rom it gets stuck at reading device information.. doesnot detect xperia x10(as depicted in screenshot attachment).
Any solutions u guys can offer?????????????????????????????????????????
resolved the problem...:victory::laugh::good:

problem was that x10 drivers were missing which detects the phone in flashtool.
what i did was installed sony ericsson Pc Companion and detected my phone there. it also installed the required drivers of my x10. after this i tried flashtool and it worked detecting x10.:fingers-crossed:
If solved the prob, please edit the topic title as [SOLVED] for easing us. And try not to use foul words if possible, from preventing further notices from admin or respectful moderators. TQ

Also, u should leave ur boot loader unlocked if on a ROM that requires it. Unlocking boot loader isnt like unlocking a cupboard, throwing in some clothes (in this case a ROM) and then locking the cupboard..

Download firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28301709, flash using flashtool. Check NO FINAL VERIFICATION before flash. If you can't get into flash mode(unplug cable, turn off, plug cable while holding back button) do following
1. Unplug cable, turn off phone
2. Remove battery
3. Connect cable to pc and phone
4. While holding back button insert battery
Good luck

Well, I've been trying to install a custom ROM on my Xperia Sola, but it won't go into fastboot
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26875204&postcount=4
I've managed to install usb drivers on my phone using this, but it still won't go into fastboot
Any help?
Edit:
Just to be clear... blue LED is fastboot right?
cause its always purple, then when I try to activate fastboot it goes blue for half a second, then goes purple again

C/flashtool/driver
U r in drivers folder
Now click on what u see
Select fastboot and flashmode and also select the name of ur xperia
And just install
Then retry entering into fastboot ( make sure u have run flashtool app before connecting in fastboot)

I've tried this
My phone's LED turns purple, then the flashtool says it's in fastboot mode [Which isn't, cause it should be blue, right?]
And to check I want to fastboot folder,tried to check with command prompt if he recognizes my deice, and he didn't :\
while in that condition [Purple LED, flashtool says fastboot] I tried to press power+volume up. The LED Turned blue for about 1 second, then went purple again and then red [rebooting itself into charging mode]
Thanks for the help by the way

Try different USB port and make sure driver is installed.
Install the PC Companion, then connect the phone and let the phone install the drivers needed (When the pop up appears on the phone, select ok).
See if that works. This phone has a problem with Windows 7.
Otherwise, if you have a windows XP phone, you can get into fastboo there.
My experience - if your phone is "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No", then you cannot access fastboot mode, only Flash mode. That's my experience from XU
same problem with xperia go

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?
