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
have you install drivers for fastboot from sony ericssons site? and you dont have to power up the phone press Volume Up and at the same time conect usb cable

rooting the phone should not affect the sound settings.
Did you check the sound options?
Xloud turned on?
I cant get my mini pro sk17i into fastboot mode. Tried waiting more than 30 seconds before plugging in usb cable, nothing.

What color does the LED turn?
I don't have SK17i, did you try holding the menu button instead of the volume up button? as they are different models.

You can try wwwong's suggest, or basically just try all the buttons on your phone. The design may be different between models, but you should be seeing same blue color LED when your phone is is fastboot mode

Here is a very nice video to unlock the bootloader. Step by step guide below it as well. It's for Arc but I followed that when I first unlocked my bootloader for my Ray.

NOTE: VOLUME UP KEY will enter fastboot mode (Blue LED).
Alright thanks alot...i will try it out and see how it goes....

Is your phone turned off? Look at the video above. It's the same general rules but different buttons are used.
I am having the issue, obviously our phones are branded... I THINK i might have actually unlocked the bootloader using S1TOOL with TP, but cant manage to get into fastboot... Is there any way to get around this issue anyone? And yes i have done everything right trying to get into fastboot...
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Same problem
If you do not get blue led that means fastboot is not enabled I can enable fastboot and then unlock your bootloader for you.
Hello!!! I've got some problems with my phone. In fact, there's a black screen and sometime the logo fastboot but it's bloqued and impossible to enter in recovery mode. When I try, at each time I press the power button the flash light is on!!! My phone is not recognised by my pc. So what can I do? Buy another one?
Thank you in advance

Now no only black screen and sometime when I press power button the phone vibrate (sorry for my english I'm French)
Maybe go to your friend, boot into bootloader, plug phone and see what happen on his computer. Maybe your OS can't download drivers.
usually when i mess this phone up i am able to use the companion to flash it back to stock. i tryed to flash magisk and now the light flashes when plugged into a power source and the phone does not turn on at all. if i hold volume up while turning on it boots into fastboot mode because i see the blue light and i was able to use flashtool and its fastboot tools to flash system.sin from stock firmware but that has not made a difference. i have tried to get it into download mode(upgrade mode) by holding volume down but it continues to boot loop. if the device is not plugged into power and i hold volume down and power it boots into recovery and i click both safe mode and factory reset but both turn the device off. any ideas?
ths is far from beeig bricked. go into twrp recovery and flash new rom. this should work.
It is just a dead mobile

Inside the SD card / SIM card slot is a small orange or red button, press with a tooth pick or a pin untill you feel vibration and then try to reflash.

i held the button in the sim card slot until the phone vibrated but what's next? i tried the companion and flashtool but the only thing it lets me do is flash the system, which does not fix my problem still, what is that button?

the only recovery available is the stock one that says power off, safe mode, continue boot, factory reset... none of them do anything....this device does have a locked bootloader, it uses a recovery like many motorola's do... its a software recovery so its gone lol
You should be able to use flash tool to flash the proper ftf file for your device. That is what you are trying to do right?

So, if you hit the flash button on flashtool, tick the flashmode and after preparing it asks you to power off your phone and plug your USB cable into your computer and then press the volume button "down" while plugging in the USB cable to your phone, It should enter flashmode and start a automated flash. This is not working?

I'm not understanding how it is bootlooping. Your phone should be off (power off) when holding down the volume button and plugging in the USB. Is your phone powering on at this point to bootloop? If so you might have hardware problems Is all I can think of.

the phone started bootlooping after flashing that zip. so that rules out hardware, and when i say boot loop i mean lights flash screen stays dark..im trying to figure out if there's a fancy way to fix this through fastboot
depends on wich ftf was used before and bootloader some of them can enter flashmode just by put on the otg cable
It was running 5.1.1 and it boots into fastboot when I hold volume up, but just lights and virbates when holding down for upgrade mode
Same problem. z3v, accidentally flashed a wrong firmware zip via TWRP.
Now if I push the power button, nothing happens.
A long push causes a short vibration and nothing else.
Yellow rest button does not change anything either.
If I connect it to the PC, the following happens: Red led lights up briefly, phone vibrates, green led lights up briefly; whole sequence cycles after that. Now the only thing I can do from there is hold volume up for a couple of seconds, then the phone enters fastboot mode. Blue led lights up continuously. Flashtool sees the phone in Fastboot mode.
However, where to go from here, I cannot see. Any advise?
I had this problem once. It might be your usb cable try a brand new one that rated for data also not just charging. I was trying to root my phone at work and it wouldnt work and when I got home I tried a different usb cable and it worked.,

I am no closer than when I posted this, until there is a bootloader unlock witch in theory can be done through fastboot, we are s.o.l.

aaa,It's very easy.you can use flashtool to flash a new system. but you must be in green light.only it.you also can be flash.sure,if your phone can't get into system,it only loop at"SONY".You touch the power and the volume up and down. keep 7s. then the phone will get into 3E RECOVERY,you chosed power down.and then the phonwill be power off. Now you can flash you phone.
If you phone can't get into green light.you can use the tool Z3X easy tool to save your phone.or it will be a brick.
my phone cant be start.it have became a brick. Good luck

I have same problem if you resolve it please help
I know that this thread is more of same, but I didn't found any answer that helps me.
The story is:
My Xperia 2363 M4 Aqua Dual recived a call and I lost it. Then when I took it and turn on the screen to see the caller, my device just restarted and went to the purple waves screen, but stuck there the system didn't start. Since this, the only thing that phone do is that, it never starts the android system.
I've tried everything that I read
So the things I've tried is:
Restart the phone by holding the power + vol up buttons
Turn off the phone by holding the power + vol up buttons until 3 vibes
Turn on the phone holdin the vol up + vol down buttons
Reinstall software by xperia companion but the software didn't start the process
reinstall software by flashtool but the device isn't found by the flashtool
connect the phone on pc holding vol up button
connect the phone on pc holding vol down button
connect the phone on pc holding vol up + vol down buttons
connect the phone holding all the buttons
the fastboot and bootloader modes don't enter and the pc says that usb device can't recognized by the windows.
I have no ideas of what i do
Can you help me?

And it not keep restartin, the phone turns on and stays on the waves screen. don't start the system so as don't restart.
If you device is not being recognized by you PC, Try fastbooting the device using a linux (Mint, what i used for similiar issue), it will hopefully recognize your device and you would be able to flash it.

Unfortunately no. I couldn't fix this yet, it is because I' can't go fastboot mode on my device
have you any other suggestion?
no i have that problem by the way if you can fix the prob. then contact me pls
The other phone you tried was a Xperia?
And are you on Win8 or Win10 because if you are, you have to install the drivers in unsafe mode(Don't remember how it's really called).
Furthermore if you don't have anything important in the phone try flashing a new version of Android or the same but do a clean install I.E Wipe everything and leave like new by installing with Flashtool(unsafe mode too, because it needs drivers if you are on Win8>10 when installing)
The phone has been in the drawer for quite a long time (5+ Years)
I come to try flash root to it and it wont boot into fastboot. all that happens is a black screen and nothing else.
ADB reports it as being there till it reboots ( 'adb reboot bootloader' ) , when the phone reboots its a black screen and if i plug in a usb lead then i get the standard windows was unable to recognise this device. ( Attached is a device manager Grab of it )
I have tried to use Flashtool64 (latest version) it reboots to the same black screen. The only way then to get it back to a usable phone is to unplug the lead and press the power button till it vibrates.
I have spent 10+ hours reading and reading everywhere and nothing that has been suggested has been succesful.
This is my last hope ( I realise its a 10 year old phone) and am hoping someone can help me sort this out.
Many Thanks in advance

Tried that.i have spent a very long time on this. Starting to get to the point that the phone is poop. And needs to be binned
To confirm the functionality of the equipment.
Can you transfer files from/to phone in adb mode?
Yes, the device problem only happens when it reboots to bootloader for fastboot access. I think bootloader is corrupted . Can't flash new one without boitloader/fastboot access. Well that's my understanding
What about flashmode?
Flash mode:
1) Connect the USB cable to the computer (do not connect it to the phone yet)
2) Turn off the phone
3) When the phone turns off, plug the USB cable into the phone and hold the Volume Down button
4) The phone should boot into Flashmod mode!
Your Xperia Z Ultra should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Green
Fastboot mode:
1) Connect the USB cable to your computer (don't connect it to the phone yet)
2) Turn off the phone
3) When the phone turns off, plug the USB cable into the phone and hold the Volume Up button
4) The phone should boot into fastboot mod!
Your Xperia Z Ultra should be in Flash Mode now and the device’s LED light should turn into Blue

Same. Even EMMA doesn't work. Which was a suggestion. Or flash prog (used old and new) all seem to reboot to bootloader/fastboot which has same error as stated.
The usb vol down with plugging in usb / power on doesn't work either.
neither does the vol up + power / usb
ammended to clarify
when powering up/vol down i get a short vibration, then it boots normally. pressing vol up + power gets black screen.
usb + vol Down does nothing, usb + Vol up also does nothing
I am thinking that the phone is not booting into a software that 'tells the USB what it is. Th OS boots fine tho and it sees the phone and can xfer to and from the phone
