Where did the fastboot gone ? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Soo.... I have a WT19i, and installed the 4.0.4 after i got sick of the 2.3 but the battery always stuck at 100% and then randomly drops to 0...
So i try to install Cyanogenmod, but i can't because i can't get into fastboot...
At least i can, but my PC detect it as flash mode...
I press the Vol Up and connect the USB, the blue LED goes on, but the flashtool says: Device connected in flash mode...
I tried Vol Down also, then the Green LED goes on, and yeah "Device connected in Flash mode"
I reinstalled the Fastboot drivers but didnt helped...
Any suggestion ?

[Q] [Xperia mini pro sk17i]Help needed to return to stock rom from cyanogenmod.

Hi,i recently flashed cyanogenmod to my XMP,but it is rather unstable,so i would like to return to stock ICS 4.0.4
I tried using flashtool to flash the stock rom but when it asks me to unplug the device,turn it off,and plug it in flashmode,i do it and it doesn't respond. The green light on the device turns on,but flashtool behaves like i didn't plug the divice.
Any help?
Forgot to mention,stupid that i am,i never did a backup before installing cyanogenmod.

Have you got flashtool drivers installed? (flashtool installation folder > drivers)
So the green led comes up while you hold volume down and plug to pc without pressing power on just holding volume down and connect?
But flashtool doesn't recognize?
Can you flash a kernel? Does flashtool detect your device in fastboot mode?
Do you use the latest flashtool version?

After installing 0.9.6 install the drivers for all devices again, restart pc and try it again. If your phone connects in flashmode normally it should be a problem of flashtool, cause the phone enters flashmode correctly then. Be sure pc companion or sony update service aren't running in background!
still the same.
so, the problem would be that flashtool does not recognize my device,even though i have all drivers installed.
i guess i'll have to stick around with cm9 for now.
Use pcc

pcc won't work, i have cyanogenmod with unlocked bootloader.
Check you have usb debugging and marked unknown resources. Other than that try to install the flashtool again. Download the drivers again from the web.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
maybe try back to Gingerbread..... on my active fastboot is volume up....and blue led. volume down is download mode and green led....maybe here is problem
Its simple...
1. Flashtool Method...if its not working then proceed to 2
2. Flash another kernel like MESA v1.8 http://www.dropbox.com/sh/w6v6t0a72eh3n3k/I61LnlJJK7/sk17i_mini_pro
3. WIPE DATE/WIPE CACHE/FACTORY RESET/DALVIK CACHE(Whatever)
4. Flash a rom like Smultronic v3.5(ITS STOCK BASED ROM) by entering in recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796272
5. Its a very good rom...but if you still not satisfied then now try the flashtool procedure...
---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------
Many times it has happened with me also...flashtool doesnt recognize my XM so what i do is...
1. Select file to be flashed in flashtool in Flash Mode
2. Select everything..wipe data...wipe system...etc and den press the OK
3. Its says"Connect Device by...."
4. Power oFF the phone...
5. Connect the USB side to Pc...and before connecting the microUSB to phone hold the Volume down button and do not leave it till the flashing starts....
Try this and report back...

[Q] Tablet Z bricked?

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!

@alby_var
Did you try twrp sideload adb push ?
yes, i tried adb sideload but say a thing like: protocol fault (no status)
Here is some thing that worked for me, even i could not get into Flash Mode.
turn off your phone
run flash tool, select the firmware you want to flash and click flash, wait for the tool ask you to connect the phone.
Now connect the USB cable to the phone with the Volume down pressed and do not let go of the volume down button until the flash process is done.
if the phone is still not detected, do the same but change the USB port.
it happens to me that if i let go of the Volume down button, the phone disconnect from flash mode.
if you are able to boot to home screen then it best to boot to fastboot using the option in Flash tool and then disconnect the USB cable, and then start the Flash process
Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
Even, I have the same a problem with my Sony Xperia M Dual(C2004). After i flashed my phone does not work perfectly (errors with some application in sd card) and i decided to restore it to stock firmware. The firmware i am trying to use was already flashed other time and it work fine. But now, when i try to get into flashmode the green led light up for 1 second, then light off and stuck into flashmode. I have all drivers on my pc and it recognize the phone as SOMC flash device, but the green led is down and Flashtool not start flashing.... What can I do? Fastboot and recovery mode works fine.

No flashmode - Random reboots

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
