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.

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 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 tried for over 30 vezez and sometimes not recognize the computer.

I ran back to Stock GB Rom with kernel bboof ....

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)
I decided to return to latest stock rom.. but flash mode is not working/gone? When I plug the usb cable while holding the volume - button, led will blink only.. after a minute or two phone will automatically boot. Fast boot is working btw.. Any ideas?
Edit:
I did not notice I double post..sorry, please delete
That's normal.
Don't connect your Ultra yet.
- Open Flashtool
- Choose the FTF you want to flash
- Let it prepare the FTF
A pop-up will... well... pop-up, asking you to turn off your device and enter Flashmode. Do that, and it'll start flashing the second you plug it into your computer.

I had windows issues at one stage and it would drom flashmod after about 30 seconds - not long enough to flash a ftf. a reinstall of the drivers fixed it (rebooy between uninstalling and re-installing)

I believe Flashmode is designed to disconnect if there isn't any "activity"? I.e if there isn't any data going to the device.
If i enter flashmode but don't flash anything, it'll disconnect after a minute or so. This is happening on both Win7 and Ubuntu. If it's flashing, then it won't disconnect. And there's no reason to enter flashmode until Flashtool has prepared the FTF. You can do all that without connecting the device.

Hey guys,
So I wanted to try out the newest CM12 ROM with A5.0 but seems like it didnt exactly happen how I wanted it. Rooting the device and then installing the XZDualRecovery without a problem. Then downloaded the ROM and gapps.
I have SGP311 (pollux_windy) so I downloaded that version of the CM12 at first. It said that my device is pollux, which I ofc was dumb enough to just skip and download the pollux ver and then install that one. So I installed the pollux ver instead of pollux_windy and when I hit restart device I didnt see it boot again.
So I wanted to connect it to my PC, PC didnt recognize it ofc. Only way my PC regonizes my tab is by fastboot mode. I had to install a driver for that. And even then only the Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde recognised it. I run into bootloop various times before with my tab and Emma always fixed it but thats unfortunately not the case here as Emma doesnt recognise it either :/
So now here's the problem, I can only do fastboot mode (not flashmode) and the only program able to do sth with my device is this Sony Mobile Flasher. I downloaded a official FW there and wanted to install it but it required me to go into the flashmode which I can't.
Is there sth I can do? The only thing working is the LED and fastboot mode.
Is there a way to put the device into flashmode via PC, that would solve all issues or maybe a trick to go into flashmode? As there was some thread about it but the thing they did didnt work for me :/
Please help
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, I just forgot how to use Emma....
For anyone to whom this happens:
Computer: Open Emma from the Start menu of your computer.
Connect a USB cable to your computer.
Phone: Turn off your tab.
Connect your tab to the USB cable while holding the VOLUME DOWN.
Computer: Select the software you want to flash in the Service list. The tool automatically detects the tab and lists available software versions, which are called Services in this flash tool.
Click on Apply Service. The tab will now be flashed.
Phone: When you have flashed your device, you can disconnect your phone from the computer. The first time you start your device after you have flashed it, the boot-up might take a little longer than normal.
Hello guys, i have another problem with my M4. After i flashed Xposed (but no wipe cache) 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 another time light up but not 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.

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
