Are you reffering to MTP?
What you you done before getting this issue?

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 .

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?

Do i have to change the file name of the kernels to boot.img to make it run in fast boot?
Hi, first of all, sorry about my english. I think it's terrible.
I have a SE WT19 stuck on FXP bootloop.
I had installed a custom kernel, but i guess i did something wrong.
At first, my cellphone is on bootloop (in some custom ROMs) or just on black screen.
So, i tried to flash a new kernel with flashtool, or a stock Rom with PCCompanion, but my device is not recognized by Windows 7.
Also is not recognized by Linux, or Mac.
The kernel that bricked my LWW was wt19i-live-rage2.7-kernel-for-fxp-cm7.
There is something possible to bring it alive again?
Ever uninstall and install all drivers and tried in another pc, aways shows the same message.

First of all its not bricked..there are several information missing.Is your phone rooted & boot loader unlocked?With which rom did u try FXP kernel?Chech if u have the latest flashtool installed. Then go to driver folder & download the latest drivers. Connect ur phone in fastboot mode it should install the necessary drivers

My phone was rooted and unlooked bootloader. I tried ALL CM7/9/10 roms posted in the xda development forum. I have the latest flashtool installed, also the latest drivers. When I connect my phone in fastboot or in flash mode, nothing happens,, cause my pc (and flashtool) do not recognize the device.
Okay but what happens when u connect ur phone to pc while pressing vol up button(without running flashtool)?does the blue led show & pc doesn't recognize it?if yes then go to device manager on my computer & see whats the problem with ur device,try installing it from there.Another question,can u get into CWM?

Nice then ur phone is perfectly okay :good:
just try another pc
or
unistall all related to ur device(flashtool,drivers,android sdk,pc companion,google usb) & reinstall.If that even don't work I suggest u to do a fresh install of windows.
See if it's a problem with the USB port. Are other devices connected to that port recognized? Some of the USB ports in the old PC at my home keep showing that message whatever I connect to it

The phone doesn't seem to be bricked. Try using Flashtool on another computer. Make sure you do have those fastboot drivers(when you first connect your phone to Flashtool in fastboot mode, Flashtool gives you a notification that drivers need to be installed for the device. I confirm that the ones provided in C:\Flashtool\drivers work for LWW )
(Always make sure the kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash)
Start with the stock kernel(the one provided inside the CM7/CM9 zip - boot.img). Then flash the relevant ROM and see what happens. Once that works fine, start tinkering with various kernels out there.
Don't worry, it's just a soft brick
I haven't bricked my WT19 yet but I did soft brick my former X8 and Someone else's Galaxy something...
What I can advise you do is flash the whole stock .ftf ROM from Sony, just search for the 4.1.B.0.587 firmware, flash it and start from scratch.
About your pc not recognizing your phone: how then did you flash the kernel?? Do have the Sony PC Companion installed on your machine? I have it just for the driveers, I know Flashtool comes with them but I rather have the offiicial somethimes... I think MediaGo also comes with them.
Anyhow, I hope you can get your phone working. Let us know how it went

Hi guys,
All tests done.
Other pc, or OS, do not recognize my device.
Tried another notebook, tried another windows version, another Linux and MacOS, nothing works!!
So, this process of kernel change could cause some hardware damage?
I really can't change the kernel in cwm recovery?
Just to recall, I can change the battery, got the phone in fasboot/flash mode, got CWM working, install new ROM but, or finish with bootloop or with black screen.

Hello!
I have an issue with my Neo V. I want to change kernel, but the phone won`t go into fastboot mode (phone off, press and hold menu, plug USB). Strange thing is, that it worked before (I`ve done this procedure several times). What actually happens after plugging the phone into the computer is not continous bue led light, but one short blip of blue and then orange (charging). I tried X-parts, doesn`t work either. I can ge to CWM without any issues, but fastboot? Nope kid, not this time.
My gear:
Phone: Xperia Neo V, CM10, kernel Fusion 2.6.32.60
PC: Lenovo Z500 Win8 64bit
PS. Yes, I changed kernel on this PC before, no problems at all. I read in other thread that you can`t enter fastboot mode if your phone is carrier locked- well, frankly, I don`t know if my device is locked or not, but, if it is, than why was I able to enter fastboot before? Thank God it`s actually really difficult to brick android, otherwise I`d have my phone broken a long ago I guess
Oh, and BTW- My first post, so hello forums!

U must be having flashtool. If u don't,, GET IT!
in flashtool . U will see a big Lightning icon on the top left. click it.
a window will appear saying'mode selector'.
in ur case . select fastboot mode and click 'ok'
Try 2 options-
1.'Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)'
2.'Reboot into fastboot mde (via fastboot)'
then click 'Select Kernel to flash'
select the kernel file(the filename will end with a '.IMG' extension)
then continue...
please hit 'thanks' if i helped!
Made it work by myself. Appareantly, the usb cable was the problem, however, I am not so sure, if I didn`t try the process with this one (working) before. Anyway, a huge relief.
Thanks for the tip with flashtool, I knew abut this program (and used it a couple of times), but in my situation it wouldn`t change anythng (same story as my idea with rebooting to fastboot mode via X-parts).

You don't need whole flashtool. You just need adb and fastboot, eventualy drivers if running win.
Then just do in fastboot mode
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or whatever the file name is.
Yes, I have sometimes that problem too. So, I am planning to get a new usb cable.

I too am facing the same problem!
I'm 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!

Well let me clear the air out of that topic. Yes I have unlocked the bootloader. I've even installed CyanogenMod.
When ever I use any kernel installing software like Flashtool or Kernel Installer, the computer fails to detect my phone under Fastboot mode!
When I use Flashtool to slip into Fastboot mode using ADB, the phone simply reboots, where as when I use Kernal Installer where I manually need to put the phone is Fastboot mode, the blue light turns ON as it is supposed to be.
To avoid further doubts, tell me tell you that I have updated my ADB drivers and also Flashtool drivers!

No, nothing of that sort.
I connect it, my PC detects my phone (I'm an engineer, I know that it is detected, so no queries there please).
The problem is only I try to Fastboot mode.
Phone restarts when trying to put into Fastboot mode using Flashtool, and "waiting for device" is the message displayed when trying it with Kernel Installer.

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?
I have adb drivers installed
When I normally have neo running then there's no problem in turning int Fastboot pressing a lighting in flashtool

I apologize for making this thread again as I misunderstood my device name previously (I thought it's a Play but it's a Ray)

Is there any way for this device to unlock bootloader without connecting to the pc?
I can access fastboot (the blue light) but my pc doesn't say anything nor the device show up in device manager when connected, Flashtool doesn't detect anything.
Is there a way to install ROM without connecting to the computer, only accessing fastboot?
Thank you.

No, that's not possible
I guess you should try reinstalling all drivers from flashtool for all devices, or try installing PC Companion or SEUS. If that's not working, open the windows device manager and uninstall/update the drivers for your phone when it's connected
