I tried pdanet to re-install my drivers but its about adb drivers not flashmode
I also tried SUS and now I'm almost sure that this problem comes from Drivers cuz SUS doesn't recognize my device when the green led is on and in device manager my phone is named SEMC flash device and here I also changed the driver manually to STE8500.inf from flashtool driver
and there is no good result till now :|
Drivers
Its all about the drivers. Install SUS, Gordons Gate Flash Drivers, The Flash drivers from flash tool and finally turn off the phone holding power button and volume up for 30 seconds and try flashing it again

Hi again
I do all things which might help updating drivers and so on
but no answer from phone
I thought that this might be because of boot problem
is there any way not use jtag or other ways of boot repair to do this job?
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I have bricked my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo (MT15i, Stock ICS .431 kernel). I was ready to install a custom ROM from CWM, I wiped the battery status, I made a factory reset, then I tried to install the ROM from SD card, but the ROM wasn't there because I am dumb and I forgot to put it in SD. So I restarted my phone and discovered that my phone was bricked.
It freeze at Sony logo (it doesn't make a bootloop) and I can't enter in CWM. It was not the first time when I bricked my phone, so I knew that I have to reflash the original kernel. I opened FlashTool but it says it needs the drivers installed, so I installed them from Flashtool/drivers folder but I get the same message. I tried to install also the adb drivers and the drivers from Sony's site but nothing changes.
The problem is that I can't use flashtool.
Some aditional informations:
- my phone was rooted ;
- my phone had the bootloader unlocked ;
- my phone was running the Stock Android ICS firmware (.431) ;
- my phone was rooted and bootloader-unlocked from the same PC, but a different OS ;
- the adb drivers were not installed on my current PC (I have reinstalled Windows so I don't have the drivers installed) ;
Is there any solution for me to unbrick my Xperia Neo?
I couldn't find any way to unbrick it.
I put some screenshots to see what I see.
Since you have unlocked bootloader you can flash a kernel so that you will get cwm back... From there install rom you wanted...
Or try using flashtool from a different computer...

R: [Q] I can't use Flashtool to unbrick my Xperia Neo
If you have done what you have writtten it should be not bricked, just phone cannot load system because you have erased it with factory reset.
So now if you have bl unlocked the fastesr way is to get a kernel with cwm inside to install a rom compatible with that kernel (try suave v6 or lupus or night elf for ICS). To flash kernel you have to get fastboot drivers then use flashtool or command line.
The other way is to flash a whole stock firmware with flashtool in flash mode, then do what you want.
The flashtool problem seems to be missing drivers, so my hints are:
-try to change usb port
-try to change usb cable
-try to reinstall flashtool flashing drivers (you should find it into flashtool folders, if you can't then search over the internet)
-try to reinstall fastboot drivers (when you have drivers you need to disable windows driver signature check to install it, search the internet how).
Are you trying to flash a firmware connecting phone in fastboot mode (blue light)? If so you are wrong, to flash a firmware you need to enter in flash mode (green light). I'm saying this because I see S1tool driver in windows and that is shown (as I know) when you connect phone in fastboot mode.
If this is not working I don't know how to help you.

Thanks man, I really really wouldn't understand how to fix my phone without your help
Here is what I did and what happened:
1) I installed the following drivers from Flashtool/drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe
- Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, neo etc. ;
- Flashmode Drivers ;
- Fastboot Drivers ;
2) I chose "MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf", the stock ICS kernel from Sony ;
Connected in flashmode (GREEN LED) ;
Windows updated automatically S1Fastboot ;
Flashing failed!
3) Chose "MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf" (the same kernel) ;
Connected in flashmode (GREEN LED) ;
Flashing succeeded!
4) Boot up - finaly see the XPERIA logo.
I solved it in 10-15 minutes, the first boot took like 3 minutes. So simple!
The flashmode and fastboot drivers were missing.
I lost my root and I have relocked my bootloader during this but it's not a big deal, I can anytime get them back. Also I had a ROM backup in SD card, made with CWM, so I can get them back.
Hope someone with the same problem will see!
Thanks again Bertellio!
Hi
I am on a Neo, running Super Jelly Bean 7. Today I do something stupid then I want to change the kernel but I now UNABLE TO CONNECT THE PHONE IN FASTBOOT or FLASHMODE
I did try followings"
1) Phone off, press & hold Menu while connecting cable. Led flash blue once, then led off and Sony (text logo) appear
2) Phone off, press & hold Back while connecting cable. Led flash green once, then led off and Sony (text logo) appear
3) Phone off, then power on the phone. Few first seconds when booting, led is purple, then led off and the phone boot normally. When I connect it to my PC, flashtool recognizes it properly (says its a Neo phone). I tried to use flashtool to reboot the phone into fastboot via ABD. The phone reboot but not enter fastboot (screen shows like 1st case)
I also try to switch off phone for few mins, clear system/cache/data... restore the phone from my backup, or even make clean install new custom ROM (from zip file)... but all not work!
In my PC, I reinstall adb/fastboot/flashmode drivers... but seem nothing work
My system:
Xperia Neo - Unlock BL (via Sony site) - Rooted - Super Jelly Bean 7.0 - Shardul Seth PAC 4.1/CM4.1 Kernel from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043906
PC: Windows XP with full drivers for Xperia 2011 installed
Pls help me to identify the problem so that I can flash my phone a again
PS: I did flash ROMs (stock and custom, GB, ICS and JB) many times. And of course, I entered fastboot/flashmode many times.
This is hardware issue... same problem with me tried everything setool2, 4se nothing worked. .. Now your device can be flashed with testpoint if you manufacturing date is below 12w10... Only stock firmware

Hi Kana
Just to inform you that I have solved the issue but not really sure what is the root cause: Following is steps I make
- New (another) PC
- Another USB cable - Important to make sure good connection between PC and the phone
- Install updated driver from Sony site
- When connecting device to PC, DO NOT use automatic driver install. I manually chose the updated drivers
After that I now can reboot the phone into flashmode/fastboot again
Hope you will overcome your case

1. install xperia companion and make successful connection with your device (enable usb debugging also)
2. install minimal adb and fastboot also
3. install latest flashtool and on the download page of the webside, x10flasher.jar are give and must be replaced from c\flashtool
4. drivers.exe given in the flashtool folder must be install (atleast all drivers for devices having "COMMON" mentioned + z series drivers (ALL ) ) ---- if your windows is w10, you must disable digital signature verification (google it)
5. after all this , you must make first connection with your windows! by switching off xperia X and plugging usb in X while pression (1) volume up key (fastboot mode) -- windows will install some driver (somec) --- (2) then unplug usb and replug, this time volume down key, (Flashmode) -- windows will install some driver! -----
6. NOW try flashing!
