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

do not panic. It happened to me last week. Phone won't register on pc until you connect in flash mode to flash a new FW with flashtool. You may already know this but
1)DON'T CONNECT PHONE
2) Start FlashTool in flash mode, choose ur ftf, click ok.
3)Wait until the screen prompts you to plug in ur device.
4)Hold the back button while plugging the usb cable into the phone (make sure it is connected to pc first though)
5) Phone should start flashing, wait until it completes.
If step 5 doesn't take try again from step 2.
AGAIN DON'T WORRY!! Happens all the time.

Hello guys, i need help ..
I wanted flash this custom ROM on my LwW, so I rooted device, installed CWM, unlocked bootloader, wiped data/cache/dalvik and flash it. But now is phone lagged on boot screen (ŠONY logo) ... i cant go to CWM, when i want restore via SUS, it says: The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated; and flashtool lags in flash process in text - Reading device information.
Can I do anything? Please help. :crying: thanks
Flashtool should work. Make sure you install the flashtool drivers properly, then,
1. open flashtool
2. Shut down your mobile
3. Connect data cable only to the computer.
4. press and hold only the volume DOWN button in your device and plug in the cable to the phone and the notification led should light up green indicating that the phone is into flash mode then it should be recognized by flashtool.
(make sure the flashtool drivers are properly installed and the USB port you are using in your computer is high speed USB port)

I two days ago we had many problems with Flashtools ... In the middle of Flashing the device stopped working always the same error 31. I tried for over 30 vezez and sometimes not recognize the computer. Oh I did so I removed the battery from the phone and I slept early the other day when I woke up I was flashing again and it was the first time I was really surprised. I ran back to Stock GB Rom with kernel bboof ....
Good ! :beer::thumbup:

Which kernel you are using ?
did you wiped everything before installing custom rom ?? (data,system, cache, dalvik cache)
My Xperia Ray is originally from SFR. Simlock is removed (code from SFR).
I tried to unlock bootloader using control point method - S1Tool said it's OK (I don't know how to check if it is really OK). I flashed new radio (v.77) without problem using flashtool.
Now I'm trying to enter fastboot mode to change kernel and ROM - no success. Nothing happens if I connect the telephone to PC with Vol+ pressed (it just starts charging). Nothing if I start it Vol+ pressed (it just starts normally). The LED is never flashing blue.
I tested another Xperia Ray (from Bouygues Telecom) - the same thing, no fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?
So,did you have the drivers properly installed on your PC?
You can find it while installing Flashtool.
install drivers from folder in flashtool and then :
1. Disconnect phone from USB
2. Turn off phone (make sure you have at least 50% battery) and wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold the 'Volume UP key' WHILE inserting the USB. --> LED turns blue = fastboot mode.
4. Leave the phone turned off
Sure, the driver is installed.
Nothing happens when I try to connect it Vol+ pressed, NOTHING.
The PC does not see the phone, the phone goes to charging, the LED does not flash blue.

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hi there,
I have a rooted xperia u with unlocked bootloader. I've tried to install the cm9 following a guide where the requirement of the installation was having an original Sony firmware installed on the device. I didn't saw that requirement, and I installed it with a custom rom on my phone. So after flashing the kernel I turned on my xperia...
Bricked.
It made only the vibration but no Sony logo appeared. So, I connected it in flashmode on my computer (with windowsXP) with green led working, but flashtool gived me the message that I must install the phone drivers (even if I had already installed them on my pc). I tryed to reinstall them but nothing canghed.
I also tried to connect the phone on a windows 7 pc always with flastool (and drivers installed) but in that case neither fastboot mode or flashmode, nor any vibration was working (pc doesn't detect it).
I tried to connect the phone with removed battery or also a reset with power and volume up buttons but nothing...
It's still like this, with fastboot mode or flashmode not working with any pc... :crying:
Is there anything that I can do?
Thanks in advance.
Head to Sony service centre
Hit thnx

Sorry Cwikla, I didn't flashed the kernel, but the rom. I wrote it wrong.
Try getting into fastboot. Even without drivers, you might be able to do so. Bring up the fastboot menu in flashtool, then plug in your phone in fastboot. Quickly hit reboot into fastboot (via fastboot). Then flash another kernel and restore a nandroid backup(if you have one)
