Are you reffering to MTP?
What you you done before getting this issue?
Sent from my ST17i using Tapatalk
Thanks for responses, frankly I don't know what happend to it, it came to me already broken, trying to flash but it won't enter it in msc mode (@ puppet13th: yes, I was reffering to mtp), and I don't know how to switch to msc because it doesn't boot. Thanks a lot for your help
Is there a way to switch it to msc with adb push or something? Anyone can help me?

Enter flashmode for flashtool
Hey....i don't think you need to switch it to MSC mode for flashing.... did you try to enter flashmode by holding "Volume down" button while inserting the USB cable into the phone ? Are you trying to flash it via Flashtool ( it is the easiest way ) ?

Yes, I tried to flash it with flashtool, but it won't recognize the phone, holding volume down while inserting usb, and the mini led light up orange, so... what else can I do? .. thanks
Did You switch the phone off before that?
Procedure is:
1) Switch off the phone (remove battery if needed)
2) Press "volume down" and hold
3) Put he USB cable in.
Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.
4) Start the flashtool
5) Flash the ROM.
Yes, I did exactly the same, but it doesn't install the drivers

Then You need to install either Sony PC companion or form the Sony develeoper site the proper drivers.
Sony PC Companion You find here
Pc companion will install all the SE xperia drivers You need.

You have drivers in Flashtool folder under : \flashtool\drivers install them , and accept all of the installation requests by Windows . Or install official drivers from Sony or from Google's SDK source .
:Flash a new kernel via FASTBOOT and install a rom or reflash the firmware with wotan client that worked for me

I did it like this: connect phone in fastboot mode, then i installed the drivers manually when this is not working plug out your phone install PDA net on your computer, connect your phone in fast boot mode and the program will install the drivers
Sorry for my bad english
when you plug in your usb while holding volume down key the led should be green not orange.
green led means the phone is in flashmode.

hi this not help ,any idea?
This may help you 90%... just try it
I also have bricked up my Xperia Neo V
I tried many tools but no one helped.....
Finally I got back my bricked phone back by doing following things....
download all the needed things you need to update phone with wotan X tool unlock, you will need
1. X_Unlock_Tool_Setup_Wotan
2. WotanClient
3. USBFlashDriver
you can get all these from wotan website.
also create an account on wotan website. NO NEED TO BUY ANY CREDITS
install all above mentioned tools.
then run X UNLOCK TOOL
then follow on screen instructions untill you get an error that you don't have sufficient credits.
NOTE THAT NOW YOUR PHONE HAS GOT A SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE FROM THIS TOOL. BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECT IS THAT YOU CAN NOW FLASH ANY ftf FILE USING FLASH TOOL. SIM LOCK WILL BE REMOVED AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS.
now flash the desired firmware on your phone.
power up your phone
if it power ups successfully, then your phone will not detect your SIM card.
finally use S1 tool to remove SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE.
CLICK THANKS IF IT WORKS
BEST OF LUCK

I am using an Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Ray and it got bricked when I tried to flash in Cyanogen mod 7 for Xperia Ray...
Now I am trying to flash stock roms using Flashtool but it is requiring me to be in Flasmode which obviously I can't do it. I have done the steps but it wont recognize my phone.
I am also trying to figure how to flash a kernel but every kernel that I download comes in an *.img format but FLASH TOOLs require FTF file to flash the kernel.. how can I do it?

Thank you for your answer drsanket_xperia_u, but PcC doesn't view my device.
In fact, Windows can install ADB's drivers, but can't install MTP's drivers. And i can't flash any ftf because flashtools doesn't view my phone...

Fedex, you're still getting all the issues like Camera failing and all ?
And Maazdraco,yes thats the way to flash FTF with Flashtool If your phone isnt detected, you gotta install the Flashmode drivers and your Device's drivers from drivers folder whereever you installed Flashtool
Hope it helps

No. No and No again Internet not required. Connect phone only when prompted. Mode required is Flashmode and I've shown below how to get to Flash Mode ( you need your phone turned off btw)
Ill quickly summarize
1) Start Flashtool
2) Click the Lightning icon then select your FTF
3) Exclude baseband if your device is STxxi and the firmware is for STxxa or viceversa
4) Press ok and start Flash. Then, after a minute or so, Flashtool will ask you to connect the device.
5) Turn off the phone. Connect the usb cable to the PC (not connected to Phone yet)
6) Holding down the "Volume Down" key, you connect the cable to your phone.
7) Give it a few seconds and a Green Light shows up. Then, flashing starts on Flashtool
8) Once flashtool starts flashing, you can stop holding down the Volume Key
9) Wait for the process to finish then unplugh the phone and turn it on
This should be clear enough. If you still have doubts, just reply here
Oh i see! Lol

How did you try to enter flashmode?
Install all drivers from flashtool>drivers for all modes/devices. Then you take out the battery of your phone and reinsert it. Now press and hold volume down and connect the usb. Don't power the phone on, just press volume down and connect. The green led should light up and you are in flashmode
Then you can flash the stock rom using flashtool :good:

Try on another pc...
Or
Reinstall windows ...connect phone to windows and patiently wait for drivers to be installed using windows update service via internet...
After that put device in flash/green LED mode ,then patiently wait for flash mode drivers to be installed ...
Use flashtool or update service to go back to stock ROM
This is a windows issue so the thumb rule is "reboot windows,try on another windows,reinstall windows.."

Hello Experts,
I was trying to upgrade my xperia u to jelly bean via cm10. This is my first attempt on this and i hope i have bricked it.
This is the current status of my phone:
Phone Not Booting ! When i press power button, only vibrates once and never boots up.
Followed few older threads on this and tried with flashtool, phone connects in flash mode but flashing any ftf never succeeds. Error flashing. aborted everytime.
The last step i did before the phone went dead was : fastboot flash boot boot.img with FXP236-cm-10-20130910-UNOFFICIAL-urushi build.
The phone is rooted/bootloader unlocked(followed the steps from sony site)/Clockwordmod installed
This is the page which tempted me to go for the upgrade : androidlegend's "Update Xperia U ST25i to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean via Cyanogenmod 10"
Please please help me on this.
Yo you flashed the wrong cm for your device. The one you flashed is meant for another device the one you flashed is for XPERIA RAY
EDIT: The more I think of it, the more I think you hard bricked.

Have you flashed the file you are trying to flash before on the same PC?
I suggest you start repair with PC Companion, then when download is finished and it ask to connect in flash mode built the formware FTF with flashtool, and see if that fails as well.

I asked specific question for a reason, so please answer it.
Also if you have used PC Companion with your phone before there is no need for it to recogniise it or even be connected to begin repair.
And Xperia U is definately showing in SUS but you cannot use it because it would not even begin downloading for unlocked bootloader.

Take out the baterry for few minutes and put it back in, open flashtool, and while it is open, hold the volume down key and connect to the USB cable. leave it connected for a minute, then copy the log and post it or save the log and attach the log file to your next post.
When you repaired with PC Companion did it ask you to power off the phone and connect it while holding the colume down ket?
Copy the next line: C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
Click the windows button, psate it and press enter, does a window open with 3-4 files beginning with "FILE_" near the top of the list?

Did you try PC Companion or S(e)US?
Otherwise: For locked bootloader: http://ubuntuone.com/2lQbbcQjO76lIMpvVEB2ps
For unlocked bootloader: http://ubuntuone.com/05cPmAXy2BzE2GhTSRVCVo
Both are flashable with flashtool.

That's the beautiful thing about PC Companion
Choose Update.
It can't detect your device and assumes it is broken.
It will display a little ink that says 'repair'
Click on it and you will be able to choose your model, and it will download the firmware for it.
When it asks for flashmode, press home- and power-buttons at the same time, your phone will hard reboot and enter flashmode...
Wait till it's done.
Thanks for the help
