I always use flashtool and I never had any problems before. But today I installed flashtool on my newly formatted pc (Windows 7 x64) and I always install flashtool on it and it works perfectly. But today i wanted to flash something with fastboot mode. so i installed all of the required drivers and my pc recognized the phone and showed me its connected in fastboot mode and even my flashtool recognized it, but here is the catch.. whenever i press on the "Bolt" i con and select fastboot mode , when i press "Ok" it doesn't do nothing and it doesn't take me to fastboot mode at all. It just stays that way and nothing happens, I've tried the x32Bit flashtool and the x64Bit flashtool and still having the same problem..so what can i do ? did i forget anything or is there anything wrong ?
Please tell me what should i do to get into fastboot mode on the flashtool ?

Got proper fastboot drivers installed?
Try removing spaces from the filename, or just rename it to boot.img and then try again.
Try these, will try to think more.
how to know that proper fastboot driver is installed or not??

after connecting in fastboot mode my pc is saying in the taskbar "eject s1fastboot" so i think it's installed.
don't know what is wrong. really feeling frustrated
Did some research on Google, couldn't find solution to this, neither can I think anything more.
Phone is in fastboot mode(blue LED), bootloader is unlocked...I can't see the problem.
Anyone else, that would have ideas?

anyone else??
looking at the log, the kernel that u try to flash had a space in its name isnt it?
Code:
boot_smultron_rc3_final (2).img
remove the space, eg just rename it as
Code:
boot.img
and try again.
fastboot and adb run in cmd. filename must not contain any space in it, mandatory.
i've tried with boot.img with flashtool. the output was same. how to install with cmd ???
ummm seems like u didnt understand what i'm trying to say :/
forget about it.

First, use SEUS update companion to clear problems.
Then turn on usb debugging, unknown sources and enable connection to pc in MSC.
Connect phone, let it recognize, then turn it off, hold back button while connecting to to phone and the LED should go green.
Make sure you have the drivers installed too.
Tnx man will give it try

Root your phone and unlock your bootloader is not the same thing.
If you have root your phone,that doesnt mean you have unlock your Bootloader.
Root is what in your file system.while Bootloader related with the kernel.
For users with Locked Bootloader usually Root Phone and install REcovery(CWM).
For users with unlock BL...didnt need to root phone and didnt install CWM.Kernel is pre-rooted and built-in CWM.
Thank you very much. The problem is that i try to unlock the bootloader and it did not work .i also try to root it but it did not work too. So now i don't know what to do cuz if i unplug the phone from charge then if goes of cuz of the O% problem
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
So try unlock your BL first...either with official or unofficial way.
Why have 0% problem?this problem exist from old kernel...the latest kernel didnt have this problem.
Tnx man ,I have manage to get root now. But still can't install kernel. Cuz in flashtool when i boot to fastboot mode via adb, then when i click on select kernel to flash . I get error massage that this action can only be done in fastboot mode. Mean while the phone is connected in fastboot mode.

Hey dude come on there is not a big issue.. If it says phone will reboot it won't you have to reboot manually..
Whent it says disconnected and again connected. Means the flashtool finished the process device will disconnect and reconect for another process..
When ever you try to flash anything from flashtool always do one process and disconect the phone and again make flashtool ready for another process then connect your phone.. You have to understand how to use flashtool first

Hey! I've been googling about 2 days now but there seems that nobody got the same problem as I'm facing.
SE st15i 4.0.2.A.0.62
I know that I need to unlock the bootloader to flash custom ROM. But I can neither unlock nor flash stock ROMs.
Need to know exactly which driver I should use to make unlocking/flashing possible?
The flashtool-drivers package dont work, even if i tried to install them all.
And as a youtube video showed me that I need to use "ADB drivers" but I can't use those drivers in flash mode, only fastboot mode.
I've tried
flashtool -> Gives me ERROR
DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su -> UNABLE to chmod, copy and install

This means that your bootloader cant be unlocked, sir... You might have a simlock you could ask the operator to unlock the sim lock or you can try wotan server... But it doesn't works for everyone.. And even it does, I cant guarantee the fastboot to be enabled. But you can just root your device and flash stock based roms

It still pops up as SEMC mass storage USB device.. And now I cant uninstall the drivers from the fastboot-drivers..
When connected in fastboot mode in devicemanager it shows as SEMC flash device, and in flashmode Sony fastboot interface.. Earlier yesterday I could connect the device in flashmode and it showed up as ADB device.. But thats gone now..
But, back to the tutorial, installing Android SDK and Java JDK doesnt seems to change anything. And I cant "double-click on “USB Driver package, revision..”." (quote) But Google USB drivers are installed.
And it seems that the Google USB drivers isnt for x64 since it complain about it..
I keep on trying to install from the flashtool, flashtool-drivers but through devicemanager I cant change the SEMC-driver to WinUSB or ggsemc. Even though driverinsstall-guide states that it installed WinUSB drivers. Still I cant use them with devicemanager ...
EDIT: It should not change anything if I change fastboot drivers but/and flashmode drivers cant be changed
Dont know if this is relevant, but in fastbootmode i see different Android devices (asus, google nexus, samsung and htc but not SE drivers) further down I see multiple Sony drivers, Sony sa0102 to Sony so0101.
In flashmode I cant change "SEMC flash device" driver.. Can this be the place where the problem reside?
Edit: If I untick "show compatible hardware" I find some different drivers from sony/sony ericsson, but non of which seems to be for the st15i
Hey, I have a problem
I just can't get my phone rooted. I did everything like in the instructions for .54 but it still won't install CWM or gives me Root access :/
Sometimes if I install root with restore after the reboot I get to the sim lock and it's broken. I mean like i can't type anything or i get a black screen with the SystemUI :/ But after flashing the MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf then, everything works again except that it'S rooted ???
Could you help me please ? I have a Sola .54
Man, that's weird, I followed a video that makes you root the phone with the Bin4ry's restore method.
Did you hear about the pre-rooted ROM?

Can we have the link to rooting method you have followed?
First downgrade to the previous ics rom as .54 can't be rooted directly then use bin4ry's root with restore. Then your phone will be rooted.

hi guys.. i'm also trying to root my sola!!
i'm with .54 and i'm using flashtool to flash it to .10 ics!! but i'm stuck on flashtool, it keep saying:
"For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" and i guarantee that i've set those two settings
what i'm doing wrong??
just to ensure that i'm entering flash mode correctly.. we should use the vol- instead of back button like said in flashtool right?
thanks friends!!

USB debugging isn't needed for flashing.
Have you installed the drivers, for the fone + flash and fasboot?
What windows version you have?
Open flashtool, don't flash anything, just connect the phone in flash mode and post the log here.

To enter flash mode first switch off your phone, then hold the vol- button while connecting it to your pc via usb you should be able to see a green light. What is the usb mode you are using? MTP or MSC? To check that go to settings/xperia/USB connectivity.

No this isn't flashmode, shutdown your phone, and connect to the USB cable while holding volumedown button.
Did you install the drivers after installing flashtool (glashmode and fastboot at the bottom of the list of drivers installer)?

I guess so, I don't have Sola I have Xperia P, but to root ICS it also need to have certain kernel.

It's a kernel only file I assume and that's all you need for rooting, after rooting you flash kernel only of .54 and you're done.

Hi - I hope you are having a good day.
My stock non-rooted xperia sola is stuck in a boot loop.
I have been reading forums for days. Have tried flashtool and also cwm.
Phone is totally standard - not even USB debug is turned on - unless this is the default.
On power up I get xperia logo and then Sony logo and then loops again forever.
Flashtool connects via my xp laptop but then has an error trying to flash.
Cwm does not find my device.
Any help much appreciated. I'm quite techno but not with phones ( yet)
Rob

I have also tried the obvious power + vol up button for restart and shutdown.

What windows version do you have?
Post a log for connecting with flash mode without flashing anything, just open flashtool and connect in flash mode.
Make sure you are using USB 2.0 ports, USB 3 won't work.
Bootloader locked?
Tried to flash in fastboot mode with flashtool?
Other way you can flash it is with adb commands, check this.
You have to use the kernel that your zip file has, obviously. It's in an .iso format.

Did you read all of it or just the itle?
First of all it's for different device, and second the flashing was done with fastboot.

Thanks - for the help but I managed last night to get it to work. I have XP SP3 & USB2.0 and I needed to go into to Safe Mode to connect the phone so that the drivers would load correctly.

First of all, I know, but I send that link because it's the same way to flash another Android device, with adb commands, if flashtool doesn't work, it's worth to try something else like adb commands? Yeah.
And second, sorry, didn't knew.

Next time you should use Sony's updater if something like a bootloop happens, it's much easier than using flashtool and installing drivers.
Sony Update Service or you can use Sony PC Companion too. It has a repair function.
