[Q] How to enter Flashmode with Dual recovery? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi,
This might seems simple but I can find an answer so here goes.
I have a dual recovery installed and I'm trying to get into Flashmode
When I press vol + up it goes into CWM
When I press vol + down it goes into TWRP
So what sequence will get me into Flashmode?

Is your phone plugged in to usb?

1) your phone needs to be off.
2) Then as you plug in the USB into your computer, hold down volume down

To enter Fastboot, do the same but hold volume up

I have always used the following and never had it fail:
With a device that is turned off:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Insert USB cable - no need to hit Power
VolUp + VolDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode (3e for stock kernels, CWM for custom kernels). Note that you need to let go of Power when the screen turns on but keep holding VolUp + VolDn.
With a device that is turned on, I usually do "adb reboot download".
That button combo works for the i9100 version of the phone.
For the i777 our att version it its
1. Make sure phone is powered off
2. Have the USB cable attached to your computer but NOT your phone yet
3. Hold down both volume up and down (do NOT touch the power button) and plug in your USB to your phone
4. Accept the warning that flashing custom modified software your phone could cause problems
And bingo your in download mode
Or optionally buy our make a USB jig which will put phone intro download mode and reset your binary flash counter.

No problem , thanks for replying anyway
For anyone like me that finds this thread, With my I777 you had to hold power, vol up, and home. Hit accept and then you could plug in.

Not sure, I did it on windows using ODIN to flash a custom recovery. Then used the recovery to load and install new ROMs

[Q] Booting into CWM

I can't seem to be able to boot into CWM. I can get to it by Rom Manager, but when I hold VOL UP and press Power it justs boots up. Same with holding Vol up AND down and pressing power. Am I doing something wrong here?
I rooted using this method:

That works, but what if I flash a bad rom, how can I access the recovery?
VolUp + VolDn should work - always works for me.
Specifically:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Hold Power until the screen turns out
Let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appear

I'm an idiot, I released power too soon everytime, now I get it, thank you all for your patience!
I simply hold both volume buttons along with power until I see the boot log screen appear. Once I see that, I let go of all buttons and I'll get right into CWM.

[Q] Cannot boot to download mode

I cannot boot to download mode, because my boot loader keeps loading. I have a Sprint LG Optimus G (LS970). The way to get to download mode is when off hold vol down + vol up + power. The way to get into boot loader is vol up + power. When I try to enter download mode, it keeps giving me boot loader mode! And the forum for this phone is no help, so that's why I'm asking here.

Download mode is when your turn off the device, hold vol up and plug it into the computer.

Holding vol up and plugging it into the computer does nothing and download mode is when you hold all three and let go of them when the captive lights come on. But it's not working.

If it doesn't do anything, then something isn't working right. That's how you get into Download Mode on the G2 (volume up and plug in).
I'd try different cord, port, or computer.
Edit: Sorry, can't read...lol I thought it said Ls 980. For the 970 you need to do volume up AND down while plugging in.

I can't boot on "Fastboot mode (E2303 - unlocked bootloader - firmware 26.3.a.1.33)
Hi! I've a M4 Aqua single (E2303) with unlocked bootloader and firmware 26.3.A.1.33. I've tried to boot into fastboot mode, doing this:
1 - Turn off power off by pressing Power key
2 - Press and hold Volume Down key
3 - Connect the Xperia to USB Cable
4 - Done!
But nothing happens... I'm doing something wrong or I miss anything?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for try to help! Anyway, I've just try that, the led turn blue... but nothing happens either...
Make sure you hold it while you connect it? Other than that I dont know.... Maybe enable USB debugging?
Flashmode: Vol Down
Fastboot: Vol Up
Beware, the phone will go out of fastboot mode after about 15 seconds if no computer activity takes place.

Yes, I've done everything (USB debugging enabled too, hold Vol+ more than 20secs...)
And after that "blue led" I've try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-sony-xperia-m4-aqua-e2303-firmware-t3485006
But as I said, with no luck at all...
I don't know why it dosn't work...
If you have the blue LED, that means the phone is in fastboot mode.
If your computer can't pick it up, that is usually a driver issue. Try installing drivers from the flashtool. Be aware, that you need to enable unsigned driver installation in Windows before you can do that.

Thanks for reply. When should I do that combination? While the phone is off or while is stuck on this screen? How long should I hold power key? Just for a second or until something happens?

Same thing, it got booted up in Android but this time it says "Safe mode" in the bottom left corner (can't remember if it said that last time).
Power off ur phone before following the above key combination and wait until the screen turns back on.
Don't understand you, but I think you should go to download mode and reinstall TWRP.
