Your phone must have decided to abandon fastboot and went into charging mode. When you connect to fastboot, check to see if the charging icon comes up, if it does. It means your phone is not staying in fastboot.
You'll need to install fastboot drivers.
Refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554632
I faced your problem before, and following that thread unlocked my bootloader. Good luck!

Unlock your BOOTLOADER !
IMO you should unlock your bootloader by testpoint metod, which is quite easy and you don't loose your warranty for ever (you can recover bootloader).
Easiest metod to gain CWM and root is to install NightElf kernel by fastboot and .62 firmware by flashtool.

how to install the driver?
EDiT:
if you can't do it with ROM HUB:
connect phone in fastboot mode, open a cmd window and type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
you should get some response. like 0.3. That's just confirming that your phone is connected properly.
after that, type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
KEY is your unlock key.

im now downloading and installing all the android sdk files.
everytime i go to fastboot mode. nothing happens
omg guys. could someone just simply give me the link of that drivers or whatever to install?
i have installed android sdk manager and follow this ****ing tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27376017&postcount=2
i already got my special key to unlock my bootloader.
but whenever i connet my phone to fastboot mode by switching off and switch on my phone to my pc using usb while holding volume up button. blue led appear. then nothing happens!
its supposed to do this next "You will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
Open command prompt, first enter this
Code:
cd C:\...\android-sdk\platform-tools
Replace C with the correct drive letter and ... with the path to the android-sdk folder. Next, enter this command
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" bla bla bla but i have no options to do this whatever because nothing happens when my phone on fastboot mode.
seriously i can go ape**** doing this
check if you have adb installed.
go to device manager. when you connect your phone to PC, you should see "sony ericsson" appear, and under that adb.
open cmd window. go start> run type cmd> hit enter.
just type adb. if you get a listing, you have adb.
if not,
follow this: ADB for dummies
if your adb driver installed correctly then hold SHIFT + right click the fastboot folder and choose open command from here. Follow the tutorial and ull be unlocking your bootloader in no time.
im unable to post a link but you can also check youtube and search for unlocking bootlader xperia videos.
Ok
I just updated to ICS and so far loving the new custom roms available
Im a total nooby when it comes to this so i used WotanServer (google it) to upgrade my phone to ICS then changed used a custom kernal which was recommended for the custom firmware.
Some roms don't allow you to use other kernals so it really depends on the rom itself in my opinion.
So the thing i would recommend to do it:
upgrade to .62
use and download SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 by quangnhut123 (it's under Arrow
Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active Android Developloment)
Unlock bootloader, root your device
then i used a method to upgrade my device without loosing my root and then installed krsh kernal with a custom rom which support krsh kernal ..

If you run "adb devices" from wherever your adb.exe is, does your phone show up? That's a good way to test if your USB drivers are working.
Download latest flashtool and install all drivers again and then use flashtool folders to use USB might work out better for you

@JMonkeYJ: I ran adb.exe with my Z2 phone in fastboot mode, but it didn't find any device.
@festa20: I downloaded flashtool-0.9.16.0-windows, installed it.
- then run flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe, install below drivers:
Flashmode drivers, fastboot drivers, Xperia Z2 Device Drivers.
(But when connect Z2 to the USB in fastboot mode, in Windows 7 Device Manager, it still shows:
SAMSUNG Android Phone (my old phone was a Samsung):
Sony ADB Interface (Driver Provider: Google Inc., Driver data: 12/6/2010, Driver Version: 4.0.0.0)
Looks like the ADB driver is still the old one I installed, not from the flashtool(?)
- I then run flashtool\x10flasher_lib\fastboot.exe in command line, still got same error...
Looks like it's a driver issue, how do I install the correct driver?

I have issue using this method as well as trying to use flashtool. Both doesn't work. For fastboot I get into the command prompt and it's just stuck on waiting for device. In flashtool it can't find my device and tells me to reboot the phone. Any ideas? BTW my phone is rooted does that have something to do with it?
you cant adb bootloader unlock unless you have added/modded some adb files
(only aplies to z2 btw)
(yes fastboot and flasmode too you need the files(try developer.sonymobile.com)
try flashtool from flashtool.net
install drivers first before trying
