Fastboot and Flash mode not working - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm glad to see the XDA Forums are always here to help noobs like myself.
I recently re-locked my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact's (E5803) bootloader and now I can't unlock it again via adb because as soon as I connect the phone via USB while pressing the VOL UP key, I get a blue notification light that then turns red. This makes the phone reboot into the normal Nougat (build 32.3.A.0.376). Any idea how to fix this, please?
Additionally, Flash mode does not work either. When I press the VOL DOWN key as I connect via USB, the light turns green only for one or two seconds before booting into OS.
Many thanks in advance!

Make sure that you have the drivers installed. Did you try using a different USB port?

Hard reset - press and hold, power + vol buttons, till three vibrations, then try again.

Thank you so much for replying! Sorry I'm getting back to you after so long, but the situation hasn't changed, I still have no access to fastboot mode.
How can I install the right drivers? Do you know where I can get them?
Thanks again!

No problem.
You may find the right drivers in the flashtool folder, usually located at C:/Flashtool/drivers. If you're on 64 bit, you may have to disable Driver Signature Verification before installing, or else it will fail.

Thanks for replying! Well, I don't know if the drivers were installed already, but what I did was to keep the VOL UP key pressed after I inserted the USB so I could enter fastboot mode. Since the light was alternating between blue and red, I just let go of the key when it turned blue.
Thanks again!

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.

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

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.

Problems in unlocking bootloader for Sony Xperia P. Urgent help needed

Hey Guys!
So I have an Xperia P, and ever since I upgraded to JB, I have been having several problems. The system lags a LOT. I cannot see any pictures in my Album, though the pictures are there, when I try calling someone it lags so much that the process ends. And it lags a lot when I try picking up such that I can't hear what they're saying for upto 5 seconds. Either that, or it just ends
So I've been attempting to flash a custom OS, but I've been facing some problems. I have rooted my Xperia. When I went on the xda forum to get the flashboot drivers, the link is dead. I installed them from another source.
When I turn off my phone and I hold the power up button, the blue LED light comes on and I go to device manager to install the custom drivers from the SDK bundle. By that time, my phone's blue LED light wouldve gone and the drivers aren't installed. At least I don't think it has. Soo I really need your help on installing the fastboot drivers and unlocking bootloader so I can flash a custom OS. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Which Windows version are you using? If you are using Windows 7 then try this:-
Download this ZIP File.
Extract the contents on Desktop
Now Open Device Manager by RIGHT CLICKING ON MY COMPUTER>MANAGE>DEVICE MANAGER
Now connect your phone in fastboot mode to the PC by holding the Vol + button while plugging in the cable.
You will see a new device in the device manager with an error sign on it. Instantly double click on that because it will disappear as the blue LED disappears.
A dialog box will open. Disconnect the phone and dont connect it.
Go to drivers tab
Click on update driver.
Now select BROWSE MY COMPUTER FOR DRIVER SOFTWARE
Now select LET ME PICK FROM A LIST OF DEVICE DRIVERS ON MY COMPUTER
Now select HAVE DISK
Now click on browse.
Open the extracted folder and select the android_winusb.inf
Click OK
Select the ADB driver from the updated list.
Now connect the phone again in fastboot mode again.
And then click on NEXT. You have to do this very quickly because as soon as the BLUE LED disappears the driver will not load but it will show that it is loaded.
Try This, If fails, tell me, will tell you other method.

Never Mind, I got it to work
But thanks anyways!!
I have another problem now. Since I unlocked bootloader, when I turn my phone off, it automatically turns back on, but after the sony kogo appears, nothing more happens, the screen is still in use, a faint light comes off of it, but it's blank and black. I had to wait for it to run out of charge so i could turn it back on. Any help?
What version of JB you got?
Even that'sresolved now... Guess that the custom OS was just starting up
I have one more though... Hopefully the last one! I tried flashing a stock ROM - ICS for Xperia P (LT22i) with flashboot. It prepared the filesand the pop-up came asking me to turn it off, press and hold the flashboot button and connect it to the USB. The blue LED light came but it never flashed. In the log it also came that a flashboot device has been connected. Help please!

Can't get into flash mode?

Searched and researched. All says old Volume - and then plug in device and it will enter flash mode.
But I get nothing. Nothing happens at all.
I already have Flash 0.911 installed and I started flash64.exe and pressed flash.
Waited for flash pop up appear and tell me to unplug, turn off device and press back button (in this case Volume -) and plug device to PC.
The flash pop window still there and nothing happens at all.
Please advise.

Have you tried following the instructions from Sony, here :http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/.

I have read the threads and links and still can't find the solution to my problem.
I press volume down and plug in and then Flash tools says I need to install the drivers.
But I've installed the drivers so many times.
I don't understand what's making it to fail and make flash to abort.

Don't know if this will help, but have you tried installing the ADB drivers? Follow the links in the table here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/ for you device (311, 312 = WiFi only).
Also (sorry if this is a dumb question) you are connecting/pressing volume key with the tablet powered off?
Try To power off your device, and while still shutting down, with USB cable connected, press VOLUME -

No not a dumb question. I have the tablet off at all times before pressing volume and then reconnect the tablet.

The only way I got my Z4 Tablet into Flashmode was by using the suggestion on the first page. plug it in, while its turning off hold down the volume button, only then did the LED go full green and flashtool started flashing. Strangely the normal instructions to get into flashmode, holding volume down while plugging in USB cable while OFF, did not work. This does.

Bricked Sony Xperia Z3v (D6708)

Hello,
I have recently made a horrible mistake, I flashed the incorrect ROM on my Xperia Z3v leaving the phone bricked. I am asking for your help. I have tried using the Flashtool but I am not certain if it's the phone or I that is causing a mistake. The steps thus far that I have followed.
Downloaded: Flashtool & Drivers
Installed: Drivers for Xperia Z3v
Downloaded: Firmware from XperiFirm
Now, the issue next is nothing shows up in my firmware when I attempt to flash. I have checked the source folder the .ftf files are there.
Furthermore:
When I hold VOL UP and plug in the USB>Blue led is indicated
When I hold VOL DOWN and plug in USB>Red flashes with a second of green whilst vibrating
Found this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtaUxuorVSA
Exactly like this, checked for a solution seems like he repaired it via sony. Unfortunately for me I don't have that luxury.
**Update**
I installed the lastest release of flashtool (0.9.22.2) but it occurred to me to revert back to the previous release (0.9.18.6)
Now I can finally see the firmware but I am still having issues actually flashing the file. I get errors such as:
ERROR - root : this bundle is not valid
ERROR - Cannot delete C:\Users\Juan\.flashTool\firmwares\prepared\userdata.sin
**More Information**
I should include I am on a locked bootloader
same
that seem the same with my situation

			
				
Okay the green light is flash mode / upgrade mode. The blue light is fast boot. You want it on with the green light on to flash it once it's bricked. You can't flash it using fast boot mode because the boot loader isn't unlocked.
Now what you have to do is get it with the green light on and then the drivers installed.
Can't delete the file means that it had error while trying to flash and all that you have to do is restart the app and that goes away.
Now for the next problem is that I had this one and what I did to fix it is that I had to reinstall the drivers because those weren't correct and I did reinstalled it and it all worked good. Thanks.
Download the correct firmware for your phone (model and Country).
Use flashtool to install it on your phone
Works with a locked bootloader, no need for USB debugging.
The first error might be you ended up downloading the incorrect or incomplete firmware
I had the exact problem that you are having. I ended re downloading the flashtool a few times from various computers and then i got it to work. I figured when i downloaded it the first time i had a version that was to old/new. Or a bad connectiin when i downloaded it first time. After i downloaded flashtool again itthwn worked without issue just as it should. Whatever the provlem was for me was having to do with the download or version i downloaded wouldnt work completely. I think my internet connection when i downloaded it wasnt very good and maybe didnt download it right.
I made the same mistake too, trying to flash a z3 zip file. Then I got to run around my home city to find help. Then there's a guy. He had to open the back cover and connect directly to the circuit board in order to do something about the eMMC and SEtool or... something, I'm not sure. The phone is alive again! (costed quite a lot for a student, but... yay?). Funny though, he said the circuit board is similar to a z2 and not a z3. Maybe you could find someone who knows about these kinds of thing. Hope that help.

Yeah, I think? I mean, it's right out of the box. Also, I think it's worth mentioning that the guy had to use SEtool twice to get mobile signal.
Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem now.
With a Z3v. D6708. I have a problem, got a wrong ROM, the flashee and now not start the phone in any way. The only way to start is "System Recovery" volume + power, which has 4 options: 1. "Continue Power UP", 2. "Safe mode", 3. "Factory Reset" and 4. "Power Down". The thing is try from flashtool but when I give "volume down" and connect the computer does not recognize. When light it even reaches the boot animation. When I give power with USB cable is connected in a loop is vibrating and shows red, blue and green.
I have exactly the same problem of the youtube video.

Bricked for days!
Is anyone still following this thread. I have the same problem after trying to install MIUI 6 on my rooted unlocked TWRP'd Xperia z3V. After the MIUI installation I have nothing but the symptoms below.
Not able to get into flashmode
No screen or bootup
No recovery
Symptoms:
1 -When plugged into PC or wall it only blinks RED/GREEN light and vibrates.
2 -Holding POWER the light turns and stays GREEN until released (then returns to #1)
3 -Holding POWER + VOLUME UP BLUE light stays on and puts phone in Fastboot mode
4 -Holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN does nothing (continues to do #1)
Please Help!!!
Google Sony Developers. Try to unlock your bootloader.
Sent from my D6708 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I think the phone will reject the command. Tried on a bricked z3v and that's the response I get from fastboot with the Sony commands given through the developer aite.

The phone is not and most likely never will be bootloader unlocked. Planning to buy for another phone is your only option.
I've already moved to a tmo note 4. Not much development there either, but it's nice. Miss the z seires though and may come back to it next year. We'll see how they fair with phones for the next few months state side abs if prices even out on the x or z5.

Unless you're going to post a link or YouTube video we all have access to, wouldn't bother asking people for direct email addresses to send them. That's the reason for PM'S and the forum on general. If you have a fix, we'd all like to know what it is you were able to do that none of us have figured out.

My Device isn't recognized by the pc and the fastboot or bootloader mode don't work

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?

Thanks for reply. No, didn't flash a blue screen, it just restarted like when we hold the power +vol up buttons
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)
