Help a noob - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hi everyone......
i have a xperia mini pro, "volume up" button is not working, hence i'm unable to enter fastboot mode in flashtool.
but i can enter flashmode using my "volume down" button, is there anyway i can install cm10 just buy entering flashmode.
PS: I phone has an unlocked bootloader and its rooted

First of all thois not the thread to ask you should post in troubleshhoting n disussion thread....
If u want to instal cm10 u should flash the respective kernel
U can go into fastbbot by flashtool itself just cliick on fastbbot mode-->rebbot into fastbppt(via adb)
That's it ur phone will enter into fastboot

Connect your phone to the PC via USB-cable. Open a terminal window on your phone. Type in:
Code:
su
At the next prompt simply type:
Code:
reboot bootloader
Dance with joy as your phone goes black then lights up the blue LED. You are now in fastboot mode. You can now install a new kernel.
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.img

On some phones fastboot is disabled
But how did you unlock if fastboot would be disabled? And what happens if you connect your phone and in flashtool you select "reboot in fastboot mode" ?
I connect phone to flashtool and it reboot and don't happen nothing.
(Sorry for my bad English.)

But i haven't got fastboot because i have branded phone.
What can I do about it?
If you unlocked your phone via testpoint method, then your bootloader should be unlocked and fastboot enabled.
Try connecting your phone in fastboot mode - Hold down Menu button, connect USB cable. If LED turns blue, your phone is in fastboot mode.
And no, kernels only via fastboot for our devices.

You can try using adb commands or Flashtool to boot into fastboot...

to enter fastboot in flashtool we have to press volume up key while connecting, but volume up key is not working in my phone.
so is there a way to install cm10 in flashmode itself

But you can't install a custom rom in flashmode. Try to reboot in fastboot mode using adb. Setup adb on your PC and reboot using adb or click in flashtool on "reboot in fastboot mode" when your phone is turned on

TWRP on m4 aqua

Hello,
I'm trying to install TWRP on my m4 aqua. I already unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Now im trying to install TWRP without success. With a command prompt, my devices won't be detected. And with a install.bat file nothing happens on my phone. The normal adb and fastboot drivers were successfully installed but i can't install the flashtool drivers to start the fastboot mode. Also with the Volume - button the phone boots normaly. So im now trying it with this TWRP app from the teamw.in (can't post the link) website with the modell xperia m but im not sure if it works. Can someone help me ?

Lollipop or Marshmallow? Why can't you intall the drivers from flashtool? It boots normally probably because of missing the drivers. And to enter fastboot, you need to hold Volume UP and then connect the USB. If your BL is unlocked, then you can easily flash the TWRP through fastboot mode. In Command p. Fastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img usually it's recovery.img . But without the correct drivers, your phone will not be recognized properly.

I'm using Lollipop 5.0 on my phone. When i'm trying to install the drivers i always get that error: installation failed. Ahhh Thanks its Volume UP. But after this the led lights blue and then comes the charge indicator. Is it normal ?
I now installed TWRP with a bat file. But with Volume UP and usb cable I don't come in the Menu. And with Volume UP and Power the phone just vibrate a few times.

Just boot to TWRP and flash SuperSu zip. Wipe data if needed. You can't boot without root
If you are on the Sony logo bootloop, press "vol-" until next reboot. Don't plug USB to Pc when doing that or you will boot in flashmode.

Can you boot the device in flashmode? Are you sure that you used the good rootpack?

You probably have a problem with drivers, you don't need to enable debugging or unknown sources to flash in flashmode.

Don't be a troll, this phone is great but Flashtool IS the problem. You tried to ask the author of the soft? I think no!
You know that some Xperia C and M have similar problems?
:crying:I think the problem was from flashtool..too many user brick their xa ultra right now..

Help with Xperia M4 root

I tried doing this root and safetynet procedure https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/systemless-root-safetynet-t3725341
in my xperia m4 aqua e2306, but I can not get into recovery mode, I already tried to get into adb and it does not boot or simply reboot in normal mode, I tried to push volume (-) and power button, but it also does not work, and finally I used recovery reboot (and other apps) and nothing worked
This is for sony m4 aqua marshmallow 6.01 (SINGLE SIM)
You must have your bootloader unlocked before attempting this and usb debugging and oem lock both switched on.
For the boot.img and recovery.img you'll need for root CLICK HERE
Download then put the .img's inside your adb fastboot's home folder
Right click on an empty space inside adb fastboot and select open terminal here
On the command line input this command - adb devices -press return(you should see devicies serial #)If no reply from your phone check cables and s1 driver's.
If you are having S1 driver problem's download and install THIS it will install the driver's for you this will work for all phone's.
Once all is good.
On command input - adb reboot bootloader -press return
Once you are in bootloader mode your led on mobile should turn blue
Then input - fastboot flash recovery M4_tulip_recovery.img - return (should take around 5 sec's to flash)
You now have twrp to access switch off phone wait till it vibrates or 10 sec's hold down vol then press power on when sony logo appear's let go of vol down and click a couple of times twrp will start in around 5 sec's.
Switch phone on and put phone back into bootloader mode with -adb reboot bootloader -
Wait for blue led ---
Then input - fastboot flash boot M4_tulip_su_boot.img -takes under 10 sec's
Restart phone with - fastboot reboot - or switch on manually.
If all went well once restarted your phone should now have the supersu app installed and phone rooted with twrp recovery.
It may be worth mentioning that the command line is case sensitive so if any problem's just copy and paste the command's written above straight to the command line.
If you try to install supersu with a zip from twrp on the sony m4 you will probability run into trouble i have had nothing but bootloop's trying that way.
You can flash the .img in any order.
