i cant get the device to boot into flashmode anymore.
there used to glow a green or blue led light when i connected the device in flash or fastboot mode.
at the current state all i can get is the red led on top to glow if i connect to charger or usb.
im willing to give the device away if someone wants to change for any working sony smartphone..

Remove the battery. ..wait for about a minute...then reinsert battery and boot into fastboot mode by pressing VOLUME UP key and plug in the usb

Just remove your battery hold down forminute and by pressing
(volume down + plug the usb cable)
U can see green led...and ofcourse flash tool log also said the device connected in flashboot mode...
Now select the firmware.ftf and start flashing.
Restart ur phone done..!
Enjoy.

I bricked my phone
I bricked my xperia U as well... When i tried to power ON, it just vibrates and nothing happens, i dont even get the sony logo. When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 30secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

Well no need to panic....
As ur saying ur device connects in fastboot mode just flash the kernel with CWM recovery (r d one u got iwth the zip in JB rom)..
den install JB from the zip (assuming zip present in sdcard)......
it will solve ............
By the way ur bootloader unlocked? or not?
Just fixed it.

I have an unlocked bootloader. I tried using fastboot to flash the kernel.elf file in the JB rom zip file but it failed. It said my device had to be rooted and all but my device was already rooted. I used the flashboot fix specified in the thread attached below. It worked and i flashed a stock rom just to be safe and get a working phone.

Thanks for the help though.

Follow this procedure and it will work ... self tested!!
1) Force shut the phone by pressing power button and volume + till the phone vibrates once and then three times
2) Charge the phone for a couple of hours
3) Now try connecting the phone in flash mode ...
4) Green light should show and if it does for a couple of sec and goes off then you can flash but you got do the whole procedure again from 1 to 3 and connect asap when flashtool prompts you to connect device
Try it out cheers!!

yeah my phones broke before and wake it up like that,
but ammm ... Sry for my bad english
The Phone IS D.E.A.D. , can't wake up, nothings happen by pressing power button but a quick red light and sleep,
nothings happen by connecting usb but a long flashing red light and again sleep,
no flash mode no fastboot mode nothing ... I guess that's unsolvable

That rom is using overclocked kernel, that should be the problem,... But one try.
Just switch off (volume up and power until 3 vibrations), just in case, the open flashtool, click on that flash and select fastboot mode.
Then keep volume up and connect with pc and see if the led goes violet.

If ypu tried and it did nothing it means it not entering fastboot and probably your device is bricked and my guess is overclocked kernel, but it's just a guess.
Have you tried what i wrote you??

Just try only one combination, keep volume up button and connect to pc, this way it connect in fastboot mode. If the led doesnt even blink, the phone is hard bricked probably. And then only warranty might help...

Once again
1. If you hold, not keep pressing but hold volume up+power then 1 vibration is reboot and if you keep holding them 3 vibrations is switch off.
2. I asked you something else, start flashtool, press flash and choose fastboot.
Then, your phone is off you said, hold only volume up button, HOLD and CONNECT to pc. If you led blinks violet you are in fastboot mode,
If not just let it connected to flash tool, close the window from fastboot with options and watch the main flashtool window if you will see some report.
Just watch for 10min if not, then...

Green led means chared too.
How do you tell it is in flash mode? What is flashtool reporting?
Flash mode IS what you need to flash new firmware.

Open flashtool, connect the usb while pressing volume down, does flashtool reports device conndcted in flash mode?
If it does, disconnect the phome and click the flash icon, select flashmode, slect FW file to flash (exclude TA if present), wait untill flashtool ask you to connect the phoen, press volume down and connect the phone, wait to untill flash is finished.

phone is not detected on pc and can't start phone in fast or flashboot,the LED turns green for 1 or 2 sec than turns red then the phone start (sony logo then black screen)
Then install drivers again
Install those from flashtool\drivers folder choose the ones for xperia u,p,sola,go and last 2 optins also, thats fastboot and flash drivers.
Open flashtool and try plug phone in fastboot mode, watch the led, if it start booting remove phone and watch right down on your pc screen to see if its installing. When it finish try again.
This is 99% of these problems...

yes do as said on above post. it couldnt be a hard brick. AFAIK hard bricks only occur if you flash something not meant for your device. except in Z series.

What windows versioon do you have?
Force power off, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations and try.
Try fastboot too and see if there is anything in flashtool log.

You had fastboot/flash mode working before and now they don't?
Do you feel the 3 vibrations?
Is it charging when pluged to cahrger when off, or even with sony logo?

I don't understand?! I can't go in flashboot mode,how can I flash with stock firmware ? and does stock firmware means the factory one?
if the led is turning green it means you can. but if you dont immeadiately flash stock firmware. it will boot. so you need to prepare stock ftf firmware for your device, choose it, wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode. then connect your phone in flashmode

Yes it's a problem, but I've seen a few that have managed to fix it by disconnecting the battery.
xperia p has removable battery?

Nope, u need to open it and disconnect it
You dont need disconnect anything. Your phone is not bricked, its working. The only problem is your drivers, you have to manage install them and it will work. This has been here thousand times.
