Hi
when i power down my xperia s and keep the Volume Up button pressed and connect the USB cable to PC it's goes on FASTBOOT mode for just a 5 sec and then it Restart !!
it wont stay in fastboot mode and i cant install driver because of this problem !
any help and sorry for my bad English .
This is already being discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
You're not the only one.
By the way, I found a fix:
I ran the fastboot, etc, on a XP PC (or just a VM in my case). It worked like a charm. I installed the drivers, rebooted the VM and now I'm on a rooted and unlocked Xperia S.
it's work ...... thanks

Hi,
I just got my Sony Xperia S (on T-Mobile in the UK) and am having problems getting into fastboot mode. Unlike any of the reported issues I can find, I am not getting five seconds of fastboot before the system resets. In fact, I am not getting any fastboot at all. When I press volume up and plug the phone in via the USB cable, it does... nothing interesting. It simply goes straight to the Sony splash and then the charging screen.
I am on Windows 7, and can probably get access to a Vista machine for diagnostics, if it would help. XP may be a bit more tricky.
Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Try a different USB port maybe?
Did you turn on USB debugging on your S?

I've tried a few, but the USB port is definitely working - the phone is charging from it, just not entering fastboot mode.

Did you check if can be unlocked in the service menu. If your phone is branded they normally can't be unlocked and they will not enter fastboot at all.

That may be it. I can't get to the service menu thanks to an MMI error but if that's how it exhibits then it's plausible.
Is there any way around this? This phone is stuffed with bloat and I really want to get rid of it.

Problem is that, in my case.

But my xperia don't go in fasboot mode on my other PC (ADB server problem I think)
When I istall Android SDK tools, during update it tell me "impossible to stop ADB server"

Hello I have an Xperia S, with bootloader locked and recently installed a ROOM in order to get the 6.A.1.2.55 with root.
Installed from a ZIP from recovery mode following this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009672
Now when I try to do step 7 (flash kernel and Baseband) Using Flashtool, Im unable to enter to the mode; when the windows prompts me, I turn off the phone, press and hold Vol up connect the USB but nothing happens, only the Sony Logo and then the icon of charging battery, I also tried to turn off the phone while holding Power button + Vol up (at the same time) and get the 3 vibrations, but the same result when I connect, the logo and the charging animations/icon..( no LED of any color or anything)
Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..
Thank you..
U can't use fastboot with locked bootloader
U need to unlock your bootloader first then u can flash kernels
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Yes, that I did know but the author of the ROOM doesn't have it unlocked either. Besides even if that, I'm still Unable to enter the mode, or is it because I uncheck "exclude kernel" that it doesn't enter the mode?

So i tried to flash Erigyts custom/stock rom with root (ZCKPA, 2.3.6) from XXKPF (2.3.5). I didnt find root for the rom, so i thought i could flash a pre-rooted rom. Odin failed, and i soft bricked the device. Im unable to boot into download mode. With my galaxy s i would take out the battery and leave it a while, and then boot into download mode and flash with odin. But i cant take out the players battery. It's like glued with the motherboard?
So i thought i could let the battery die and then charge it a bit and boot into download mode. But every time i plug in the charger/computer cable, it boots up to the softbrick screen. Ive tried very many combos, but cant figure out how to boot it into download mode. My computer/odin doesn't recognize the device.
i have no access to a jig at all.
And the phone does charge(i think).
HEEEELPPPPP!!!!!!!!
update: Ok so i figured out how to disconnect the battery. I did but it dont want to boot into download mode. It still goes to softbrick screen when i connect it to a charger/computer.

That means to get out of it, you need to re-flash what you were trying to flash earlier.

Hello!
I have an issue with my Neo V. I want to change kernel, but the phone won`t go into fastboot mode (phone off, press and hold menu, plug USB). Strange thing is, that it worked before (I`ve done this procedure several times). What actually happens after plugging the phone into the computer is not continous bue led light, but one short blip of blue and then orange (charging). I tried X-parts, doesn`t work either. I can ge to CWM without any issues, but fastboot? Nope kid, not this time.
My gear:
Phone: Xperia Neo V, CM10, kernel Fusion 2.6.32.60
PC: Lenovo Z500 Win8 64bit
PS. Yes, I changed kernel on this PC before, no problems at all. I read in other thread that you can`t enter fastboot mode if your phone is carrier locked- well, frankly, I don`t know if my device is locked or not, but, if it is, than why was I able to enter fastboot before? Thank God it`s actually really difficult to brick android, otherwise I`d have my phone broken a long ago I guess
Oh, and BTW- My first post, so hello forums!

U must be having flashtool. If u don't,, GET IT!
in flashtool . U will see a big Lightning icon on the top left. click it.
a window will appear saying'mode selector'.
in ur case . select fastboot mode and click 'ok'
Try 2 options-
1.'Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)'
2.'Reboot into fastboot mde (via fastboot)'
then click 'Select Kernel to flash'
select the kernel file(the filename will end with a '.IMG' extension)
then continue...
please hit 'thanks' if i helped!
Made it work by myself. Appareantly, the usb cable was the problem, however, I am not so sure, if I didn`t try the process with this one (working) before. Anyway, a huge relief.
Thanks for the tip with flashtool, I knew abut this program (and used it a couple of times), but in my situation it wouldn`t change anythng (same story as my idea with rebooting to fastboot mode via X-parts).

You don't need whole flashtool. You just need adb and fastboot, eventualy drivers if running win.
Then just do in fastboot mode
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or whatever the file name is.
Yes, I have sometimes that problem too. So, I am planning to get a new usb cable.

Now I know this problem too ;/ I flash kernel 100000 time before. I have Lupus v6 and MIUIv5 by ZduneX25 and any idea what is problem. I try on other computer, other system,other cable so ? tell me it is not my socket ? and sorry for my poor english
I too am facing the same problem!
I'm currently using CyanogenMod 10 with the same Kernel which was pre-installed on the Neo V when I bought it.
I wish to change the Kernel to Lupus as it is compatible with most of the ROMs. I tried flashing the kernel with Flashtools and Kernel Flasher but to no avail.
Kindly help!

Well let me clear the air out of that topic. Yes I have unlocked the bootloader. I've even installed CyanogenMod.
When ever I use any kernel installing software like Flashtool or Kernel Installer, the computer fails to detect my phone under Fastboot mode!
When I use Flashtool to slip into Fastboot mode using ADB, the phone simply reboots, where as when I use Kernal Installer where I manually need to put the phone is Fastboot mode, the blue light turns ON as it is supposed to be.
To avoid further doubts, tell me tell you that I have updated my ADB drivers and also Flashtool drivers!

No, nothing of that sort.
I connect it, my PC detects my phone (I'm an engineer, I know that it is detected, so no queries there please).
The problem is only I try to Fastboot mode.
Phone restarts when trying to put into Fastboot mode using Flashtool, and "waiting for device" is the message displayed when trying it with Kernel Installer.

Did you unlock your bootloader at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com? If you did, pc companion WONT recognise your device. Try looking around on how to relock your bootloader. I am not too sure. If you did not unlock, i am not really sure on what to do I have never unlocked my bootloader as i know the dangers of it.
Try asking the more senior members.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear. My PC does NOT recognize my Xperia Go in flash mode (which is the volumedown + powerbutton), not with PC Companion, not with flashtool, not at all, therefore I cannot flash anything, or even update my firmwares.

I don't really understand what went wrong in the rooting process. Apparently it all went fine, the rooting tool said the device was rooted, but when I install apps that need rooting and should ask for root permission, none permissions are asked. Also another proof the my phone is not rooted is that when I use my phone's screen on my PC I can not press any buttons or write any text messages (as I read, I could only do that if my phone was rooted). And like I said, after that, my phone is not recognized by the PC in flash mode, so I cannot flash kernels, firmwares, nor can I update my firmwares using PC Companion.

Yeah I know, what I said about the PC Companion is that it can no longer update my firmwares because my PC can no longer recognize my device in flash mode. And I used the flashtool to flash an older firmware, so I could root my phone, following the guide, which I refer on my question.

I wanted to flash a kernel, so I entered into fastboot mode with the "up" volume holded, and then, the blue LED appeared, but then, it just dissappeared! So Flashtool didn't flash anything.
Again, and again, one time and other, and again.
I get bored and decided to flash the ROM I had in CWM, so I flashed it from CWM and now, I cannot turn on my phone cause it makes bootlogo.
Flashtool still does the same thing with my device when I'm trying to flash any Stock Rom or Kernel.
Please, I need the phone for daily usage and for tomorrow.
What can I do? I can enter to CWM but I don't know more things to do to solve this problem...
Help, please.
Try flash the kernel via cmd.

The problem is that I connect the phone to the PC through a USB, okay, while I connect with the USB, the blue LED turns on for a few seconds, but then it turns off, so I can't flash any kernel even if I'm using flashtool or cmd.
Please... help.
When I select "Mount usb storage" in CWM, my PC doesn't recognize anything!
I could restore a backup that I have but,...
Try removing the battery on your phone and pressing power a few times, then open stock rom in Flashtool and when it says to press the back button, insert battery-hold volume down-insert cable as fast as possible...
Thanks, really...
But nothing changes...
I've installed ADB, SDK and PC Companion but my PC still doesn't recognize the phone, so I can't add my backup to CWM through "mount USB Storage"...
Help please!
Exactly, install stock ROM through an .ftf and flashtool... afterwards you can copy your backup on the phone and install a kernel with recovery

But if PC doesn't recognize my phone, flashtool also doesn't do it!, so I can't flash anything, the green LED turns on but in a few seconds it turns off and doesn't flash anything, just turns on the phone that makes bootlogo :/
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I really apreciate
Is your boot loader locked or unlcoked?
Have you ever flashed with flashtool before?
Did you install the drivers with the installer in flashtool drivers directory(the one for your phone + falsh and fastboot mode drivers)?
Finally yesterday after three hours I could flash a stock ROM, don't know how changed but I could do it.
FINE
Thanks all!
