Hey guys,
first of all i need to state that i am an asshole. i used to flash kernels and stuff when i had LG optimus one, and i just assumed that flashing xperia p is almost the same. oh, i didn't know about bootloader. so, everything mentioned is totally my fault and i can't blame anyone but myself.
the situation is as follows: i install root, cwm, and then i flash sliding_xp kernel and MoonBreaker ROM just like manual says.
then, of course, my phone won't start - only vibration and nothing more.
OK, i google, and i find out that i need to flash stock kernel to save the phone.
OK, i install flashtool, and:
06/057/2013 23:57:27 - INFO - Device disconnected
06/057/2013 23:57:35 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
06/057/2013 23:57:37 - INFO - Device disconnected
so i, like, have only two second to flash. i tried to do it and failed.
my PC runs win8 x64 and has no USB 2.0 ports, only 3.0.
i can't charge as well as it also disconnects after a couple of seconds. battery before flashing was about 60%.
any suggestions what can i do? i tend to try another PC, but i don't have any now.
@sciezka
Have you flashed with your PC before?
Jave you installed drivers from flashtool (specifically the 2 at the bottom of the list, fastboot & flasj mode)?
Try installing them following the steps in this post.if it doesn't work see the first post in that thread.

actually i failed even to do repairs with PC Companion with similiar symptomes (green/purple light goes off after a couple of seconds), but i did this with another PC. that's why i tend to do it again.
btw, but DooMLoRD easy rooting toolkit worked fine on my PC, but i guess it uses different drivers.
i also tried to do steps from that post you mentioned, but x64 restricted this modification. all i get is error message.

The rooting toolkit use adb device.
What you got error for the command lines or driver installation?
You need to run command line as administrator.

Don't even bother to flash untill you install the drivers and make sure flashmode stay on for ~45 seconds.
Did you install the drivers again in non safe boot ?
Is there a disable driver signing option in windows 8 boot menu? you can try that as well.

Device is shut off with force shutdown?

it flashed via CWM like normal, one after another, and i rebooted after i was done with CWM menu.
but it didn't boot after.
i didn't get much time on XP because those are not my laptops, my rommates only lend me in for a couple of minutes to try quickly. i didn't went so deep like i did with my PC.

I meant force shut down, hold power + volume up for about 10-15 seconds untill you feel 3 vibrations, then try flash mode and fastboot mode.
Don't flash anything just leave flashtool open to see if they are on for more than few seconds.

It's difficult to tell a boot loop that ends before the logo come on from driver problem, but worth checking the device is off.

actually while your advice was great, it appears that the other thing i did made the difference since after i reverted it i couldn't connect anymore.
my laptop has only usb 3.0 ports, but you can fix the way they work (i'm not a specialist, but i say what i understood).
in BIOS you cand find USB settings. there you need to switch off xhci and switch on ehci. that allows to connect like i need. maybe this could be helpful for someone else.

Hi!
I hava X10a (xPeria X10 Mini) phone with 2.0.A.0.504 firmware. Rooted.
I have enabled Unknown Sources and USB Debugging
I have SEUS installer
I have disabled UAC in Windows (Windows 7 x64)
I have enabled root permissiont through Superuser for Flashtool
Despite all that, when I try to flash the X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf firmware with Flashtool, I follow the instructions loading the firmware and putting the phone in flash mode, but Flashtool fails. I can boot back the phone and use it as normal. No brick, no black screen.
I searched the forums, but found no one with a similar problem...

Sounds like a corrupt .ftf file.
Download it and try flashing again (from same source) . If that also fails try a different source.
If that fails try a different flash tool version.
Hope this works

I already verified the MD5 checksum, and its the same on than the official Flashtool
thread download link.
I also tried Flashtool v 0.2.9.1 and 0.2.8.0 with the same results
Is there any other Flashtool I can try?
Try it again this time hold the back button down until you see flashtool has sent the loader

Well I had the same problem and I had to use a different firmware to flash with flashtool. I think the ftf file he used is corrupted if that is possible.

Not sure, above he says he checked the MD5 checksum. I suppose he'll have to try a different firmware altogether.

i'm having the same problem now on my so-01b xperia docomo. i have flashed my with a stock x10 generic ftf, it was a successful flash but after a while it just suddenly lost power. when i try to boot it, it just vibrate and nothing!!!! now i have tested so many roms, but just showing "error flashing aborted" man pls somebody help us... i have done some searching and most of them tells me its cpu flash ic problem!!!
there could be 3 possible reasons
1) backbutton not kept pressed enough
quick check : when it says abort do you still see green light near the usb, if yes they you are still in flash mode, if no then key was not pressed on time.
2) FTF could be corrupted : md5sum should do the job here.
3) USB drivers might have gone heywire, suggest reinstalling drivers.
Drivers are inside driver folder in flashtool folder.
hope this helps
hi.
I have the same problem ,yes the green light stays on I have waited like 10 minutes it wouldnt turned off .
I re installed the drivers too,I installed (Golden Gate) too but didnt help .
downloaded and installed another firmware but didnt help .
Plz someone help
Same problem here. I've tried several different firmware, tried several ways to plug phone in, nothing will allow it to finish the flash. One time it actually got closed to finishing the system.bin but then gave the error, so it doesn't always stop at the same time.
Hey guys I am thinking you are talking about what I went through and the fix for my experience was....goto device and printer and click on "A6SOPEME IDE Controller" or semc boot/usb whatever....any ways it was shown in Device and Printers with a little yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in it after a flash. Just uninstall after your flash and then try again.

This is about the fifth person I've seen with the problem also, has me wondering the same, although my suggestion helped one or two of them, others seem to be running into an error still.
hey guys !
guess what I turned my phone on ,as I have found a solution for it I thought it wouldnt be fair to not share it with you guys.
I tried everything just name it ...I dont know where the real problem was but solution is keep pressing the the BACK button (the arrow points to the left) and press power button at the same time . phone will turn on .
there is no problem with your computer or anything its phone itself.
but now I got another problem phone reads the simcard but doesnt receive or send any call says Emergency calls only ...or when u dial a number it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA...anybody can help me with this?

USB is a problem. use the USB ports on the motherboard. No front ports. No splitters.
Cannot go into fastboot mode either (USB + Menu button) but at least Flashtool is able to reboot it into fastboot...
...is there any similar trick to reboot into flashmode? Flashtool only tells me to do the manual stuff for flashmode.
Or, alternatively, is there any way to perform a ROM update - I'm fine with the latest SE stock ROM, I just need that fixed auto-leveling audio feature I had in my Arc since last Summer -, maybe through some fastboot injection + multiple other steps?
It's running GB 2.3.2 aka 3.0.A.2.181 and I need 2.3.4 aka 4.0.A.2.0.XX; I have root but that's it, when I tried installing CWM it did install but does not work, phone freezes at bootup when I keep pushing Volume Down at the first logo to invoke CWM.
PC Companion also 2.0 craps out when I try to run the update, telling me to take it to a SEMC place...
Thanks in advance
Having the same problem.. cant go into flashmode USB + back
What do you mean by you cant go? what happens when you try to go into that mode?
If you get blue LED on that means you are in that mode.

I meant what I said: it does NOT go into flash mode. You can try 100x it will only turn on charging, that's all.
And yes, having owned X10 and Arc previously I've done this before multiple times so I know how it goes normally... not on this Neo though, that's for sure.
So the question is: is there any way to perform an update via fastboot...?

For the love of God, Asians: PLEASE STOP ****IN' PLUGGING THIS **** IN EVERY OTHER POST.
Is it locked to a specific network? My understanding is that it'll have fastboot locked and you won't be able to get into flash mode. Mine's a Neo V, though, so the Neo may be different.
If it's the same as the Neo V then you have to unlock fastboot as well as the bootloader.
If you go to the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to get into the service menu, I think one of the options tells you about simlocks. Sorry I can't be clearer, my phone won't go to that menu, presumably because I've got CM7 on there now.
Apologies if the Neo doesn't work the same way.
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
I've just found a similar post, which seems to have ended with the same conclusion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305966
To unlock fastboot, I paid someone else to do it with their credits for setool.
Of course, having a locked fastboot shouldn't stop you from upgrading but I'd guess it'd have to be to a specific version that your supplier has modified.
Maybe it sees the CWM install and views it as non-standard. It might be worth flashing a stock recovery and trying again.
I realise that Flashtool was able to put the phone into fastboot mode. I imagine this "locked fastboot" terminology doesn't quite cover what it really means.
You can use flash mode, back button, greenlight with a locked phone ( sim and bootloader). Fastboot menu key, blue light needs unlocked phone ( sim)

Hello everyone, I just got my xperia sola a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far!!
I have gb 2.3.7 and updater says I'm up to date(weird)
So I was roaming xda today and saw:
rooting ICS and wanted to try it out, but found out that it wont work on gb,
so I tried to flash an ICS ftf (MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Global.ftf) through flashtool,
which also didnt quiet work out...
I jumped from one thread to another to find more outdated information, which was pretty useless
considering I cant even enter 'recovery mode'...
I would really appreciate if someone could take their time and help me (and a lot of other less knowledgeable memebers Im sure!!!)

I would really appreciate if someone could take their time and help me (and a lot of other less knowledgeable memebers Im sure!!!)

I think that if u want update your devices u have to unlock bootloader (just searching "unlock bootloader sony xperia and go on the official page of sony).
After that u have to open flashtool (before download and install drivers of your pohone on ur computer if u don't already do it) and flashing (following one of the many guides) the firmware of ICS!
This is only one of the many ways, pay attention if u unlock bootloader u will lose your warranty!!
I too bought my phone a couple of days ago and here is what i did.
I first attached my Xperia Sola to the PC and installed Sony PC Companion
Then I updated to 6.1.1.B.1.10 using PC Companion.
Then i went here to unlock my Bootloader.
Then i wen to Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 13.10.2012] thread to Root my Xperia Sola.(Remember to turn ON(Check) USB Debugging before connecting your device for rooting by going to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.)
Now i can safely install any Apps and Games i want.
If you want to install CWM you just need to follow the guide here to install this one with CWM.
Credit goes to everyone who helped me.
Well I installed flashtool everything is fine until I have to unplug the phone and plug it back in.... i try to turn it off.... I tried pressing volume down multiple times, holding it, holding up/down volume.... it just doesnt do anything,,,, what am I missing is there anything else that needs to be done before installing the FTF file????

Turn off your phone.
Press and hold - volume button .
Connect phone to PC.
It will be connected in flashmode.
finally some movement, now I enter fastboot, and it says that I dont have the drivers installed, altho I checked and reinstalled them twice now... still says that...

I just flashed this through CWM in an unlocked-bootloader sola (as the thread suggested) and then after i pressed reboot from the CWM menu the phone stopped responding to anything!
screen, adb, fastboot, nothing working...
The only responses i can get from it are:
phone vibrates once when i press power+vol up
red led turns on when i plug in the usb cable
It won't even enter adb or fastboot, so i cant think of a way to fix this
Flash mode seems to appear working but when i try to flash anything through FlashTool it wont flash anything with an empty error message.
check the device's id at the device drivers log --> FlashTool "check device drivers" log: http://pastebin.com/xfM2PHQw
FlashTool "trying to flash relock bootloader" log: http://pastebin.com/wJHrF7BG
PC Companion recognizes the device as "Sony / Sony Erickson device"
SEUS shows the message for unlocked bootloaders (the one that says it contains modified software or something similar)
wrong section. but you must install drivers manually on device manager.

i had that problem with my xperia go once. when i turned it on it would show the Sony logo, then the Xperia logo and restart...
when i tried to flash a new ics rom(the stock one) via flash tool it had the same error, but i figured out you need to have PC companion opened when using flashtool.(at least that worked for me)

The problem is, my phone doesn't turn its screen on.
I can't tell whats going on, if its on or not (im being guided by led colors).
And i tried having pc companion on while using flashtool which didn't help
My friend sorry to say but you should read that post clearly before installing that rom this rom is for unlocked bootloader only.
May you have not checked bl status whether it is properly unlocked or not.
Or try to unlock bl again from flash tool and try to flash from again.

i was able to get in flash mode yesterday (even though the driver name was odd) but today i can't get it to work.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
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
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.
