i was able to flash my sola from GB to global ICS stock(.54) rom last time without any problems.
i wanted to root my phone so i flashed the kernel to .10 and used binary's root found on this forum.during the flashing process my phone got disconnected from the usb and it returned to usb charging mode.i was only able to flash the kernel after a couple of trying.when i boot into flash mode without opening any application the phone turned to charging mode within 10 seconds and i get semc driver error.i opened the flash tool and boot to flash mode,same thing happened.i already installed all the drivers in the drivers folder of flash tool couple of times.however,when i connect it to flash mode after opening SUS the flash mode stayed for a long time.
i was thinking to flash some custom roms to my phone but worried that while flashing the rom the usb gets disconnected and it would brick my phone.sorry for wall of text anyway my sola has locked bootloader
is it normal that flashmode will get disconnected if no tasks are given?i closed SUS after connecting to flashmode but it still stays there

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 ....

Which kernel you are using ?
did you wiped everything before installing custom rom ?? (data,system, cache, dalvik cache)
Hi
I have xperia neo v 11wxx
- performed unlock with test point (paid service) - all went ok
- flashed new soft with CWM - all went ok - flashed kernel in zip ICS_Spacious_Smooth_Light_ODEX_v2
After flashing phone stays at SE logo nothing happens
I Can't enter fastboot and flashboot mode
in fastboot the diode flashes blue for a sec and nothing happens
in flashboot (flashtool or companion or suse or manul) nothing happens
The phone is not detected properly (in flashtool i have to select my model manual) in companion it say "null"
In flashtool after manual selection it says that the phone flash is emty (no files in /system folders etc) no root ........
In s1tool after identify it gives some usb device error and missing file.
Iv also tried 3 diffrent computers (win8 - with driver signing off, 1x xp laptop , 1x win 7 laptop)
Tried diffrent drivers and diffrent cables
It look like kernel problem. Did you flash a kernel from zip package rom?
When you will want enter to fastboot mode turn off you device and put menu button and now connect phone to PC.

It's good.
It seems like drivers problem.
But when you enter to fastboot mode the led blue flashes every time or fleshes on the moment and off.
If blue led off it's mean drivers problem for me.
I dont understand...if you cant enter fastboot mode,so you cant flash any kernel.My question,how you flash kernel from the zip actually?
flashes on the moment and off
iv tried many drivers nothing works
iv flashed zip in CWM

Try to do hard reset. Remove the battery for 15 minutes.
Or try connect your phone to the mains without the battery for 15 minutes.
I see...actually you are not flash kernel,because kernel cant flashed through CWM.kernel ONLY can be flash through PC...

Your phone is not bricked. Had you unlocked your bootloader? New kernel can only be installed with unlocked bootloader in fastboot mode.
Open PC companion and select update phone, then remove battery, wait for 30 seconds, reinstall battery and connect phone to PC while pressing the back button, now follow instructions on PC. If this does not work you will need 'Sony_Ericsson_Update_Engine' which is no longer available on Sony website. If your bootloader is unlocked then you can install the stock kernel through fastboot mode and then flash stock ICS ROM through flashtool.

When you connect phone to mains does battery is charging?
Maybe microUSB port is damaged.
abaddon6661 has right, your phone isn't bricked.

SUS (not SUSE) not detect phone too? In SUS is repair options.Your phone isn't brick SUS should repair it.
I spoke with a guy who had a similar problem. PC not detect phone and hi can't enter to fastboot mode. His phone has problem to battery. System kept that battery is low (0%). Exchange battery helped.

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)
Hello guys, I have another problem with this m4...
I cannot get into flashmode. Using Windows 7 with all drivers and using the original cable in a usb 2.0 When I connect the phone holding the button i see the green led lightning for a moment, then it turn off and again light up for a moment. After this, in pc I see "SOMC Flash Device" but the flashing not start with any version of FlashTool.
And then, with the stock rom (tried many versions) the phone sometimes freeze and reboot after 5-10 minutes.
How can I fix? I want to relock the bootloader and flash the original rom in tft format. But still no flashmode....
P.S. fastboot working fine.
I've been there also...
Flash this via fastboot-mode and then you should be able to connect via flashmode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/5-1-1-aosp-beta-team-t3193546
I don't know, is there another rom which can be install via fastbootmode...
Thanks, but not worked, still the same problem...
Reboot your PC. Sometimes it helps.
Still the problem.... Can be caused by unlocked bootloader?
No, I don't think so.
So you connect your phone on flashboot after when flashtool ask to do it?
Yes, but anytime I try to put device into flashmode, not work...
Ok, now the device freeze and reboot also in normal mode, without connect to pc. I tried to reconnect the battery and enter flashmode, but nothing work... Only fastboot, twrp and system with random reboots.....
What about flashmode driver do u install them
hello like the title said
i cant seem to enter flashmode. fastboot and recovery works fine tho
i was trying to install stock rom, xperia companion app and flashtool doesnt help
flashtool said something like usb debugging off, and 2011 devices bla bla (usb debugging IS NOT OFF its ON) tried 2 different version the 9.18 and 9.2
the green light did light up only like 1s then off then light up again then its gone for good
after that the phone connected to pc and recognized as somc flash device but not recognized by flashtool or xperia companion
first off all its not really a problem because i can still go to fastboot and recovery to flash ROM
but since i want to revert to stock rom (not modified,rooted or anything)
can someone guide me how to fix it? i tried 2 pc + a laptop, flashmode still not detected
Same problem
I'am with same a problema, u have a solution?
You have to wait for flashtool to ask you to connect your phone in flashmode and that is after you've loaded your firmware to flash
Your phone will only stay in flashmode (green led) whilst it is receiving data if it is not receiving data it will switch off after a few second's
