Cant enter FLASHMODE - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

hello like the title said
i cant seem to enter flashmode. fastboot and recovery works fine tho
i was trying to install stock rom, xperia companion app and flashtool doesnt help
flashtool said something like usb debugging off, and 2011 devices bla bla (usb debugging IS NOT OFF its ON) tried 2 different version the 9.18 and 9.2
the green light did light up only like 1s then off then light up again then its gone for good
after that the phone connected to pc and recognized as somc flash device but not recognized by flashtool or xperia companion
first off all its not really a problem because i can still go to fastboot and recovery to flash ROM
but since i want to revert to stock rom (not modified,rooted or anything)
can someone guide me how to fix it? i tried 2 pc + a laptop, flashmode still not detected

Same problem
I'am with same a problema, u have a solution?

You have to wait for flashtool to ask you to connect your phone in flashmode and that is after you've loaded your firmware to flash
Your phone will only stay in flashmode (green led) whilst it is receiving data if it is not receiving data it will switch off after a few second's

[Q] Bricked LwW? Please help!

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 (Ĺ ONY 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)

[Q] Help: Unable to enter fastboot or flashmode

Hi
I am on a Neo, running Super Jelly Bean 7. Today I do something stupid then I want to change the kernel but I now UNABLE TO CONNECT THE PHONE IN FASTBOOT or FLASHMODE
I did try followings"
1) Phone off, press & hold Menu while connecting cable. Led flash blue once, then led off and Sony (text logo) appear
2) Phone off, press & hold Back while connecting cable. Led flash green once, then led off and Sony (text logo) appear
3) Phone off, then power on the phone. Few first seconds when booting, led is purple, then led off and the phone boot normally. When I connect it to my PC, flashtool recognizes it properly (says its a Neo phone). I tried to use flashtool to reboot the phone into fastboot via ABD. The phone reboot but not enter fastboot (screen shows like 1st case)
I also try to switch off phone for few mins, clear system/cache/data... restore the phone from my backup, or even make clean install new custom ROM (from zip file)... but all not work!
In my PC, I reinstall adb/fastboot/flashmode drivers... but seem nothing work
My system:
Xperia Neo - Unlock BL (via Sony site) - Rooted - Super Jelly Bean 7.0 - Shardul Seth PAC 4.1/CM4.1 Kernel from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043906
PC: Windows XP with full drivers for Xperia 2011 installed
Pls help me to identify the problem so that I can flash my phone a again
PS: I did flash ROMs (stock and custom, GB, ICS and JB) many times. And of course, I entered fastboot/flashmode many times.
This is hardware issue... same problem with me tried everything setool2, 4se nothing worked. .. Now your device can be flashed with testpoint if you manufacturing date is below 12w10... Only stock firmware

Hi Kana
Just to inform you that I have solved the issue but not really sure what is the root cause: Following is steps I make
- New (another) PC
- Another USB cable - Important to make sure good connection between PC and the phone
- Install updated driver from Sony site
- When connecting device to PC, DO NOT use automatic driver install. I manually chose the updated drivers
After that I now can reboot the phone into flashmode/fastboot again
Hope you will overcome your case

[Q] disconnected from flashmode help for xperia sola

i was able to flash my sola from GB to global ICS stock(.54) rom last time without any problems.
i wanted to root my phone so i flashed the kernel to .10 and used binary's root found on this forum.during the flashing process my phone got disconnected from the usb and it returned to usb charging mode.i was only able to flash the kernel after a couple of trying.when i boot into flash mode without opening any application the phone turned to charging mode within 10 seconds and i get semc driver error.i opened the flash tool and boot to flash mode,same thing happened.i already installed all the drivers in the drivers folder of flash tool couple of times.however,when i connect it to flash mode after opening SUS the flash mode stayed for a long time.
i was thinking to flash some custom roms to my phone but worried that while flashing the rom the usb gets disconnected and it would brick my phone.sorry for wall of text anyway my sola has locked bootloader
is it normal that flashmode will get disconnected if no tasks are given?i closed SUS after connecting to flashmode but it still stays there

[Q] Xperia U Hard Bricked

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)

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.

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
