sony m4 aqua - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

sony m4 aqua cant enter in flash mode solution ????

Plug your switched on phone into computer
Make sure you have usb unbugging selected on in developer's option's
Im on the assumption that you already have adb and fastboot installed
Open a command prompt window and on the command line write -- adb devices --
If all's good you should see your phones serial number.
If not then check your s1 driver's and your cable first.
Once that is all good on the command line write -- adb reboot bootloader ----
You will now notice that phone's Led has turned blue and your phone is now ready for fastboot command's
Remember that the command line is case sensitive.
Good Luck.

[Q] Sprint optik can't switch to USB Debugging mode after flashing kernel

Hello,everyone.I've got a Sprint optik(zte v55) 7" pad coming with HC 3.2.
After I flash a modified kernel, Its usb debugging mode can't work properly and my pc can't recgonize it.
Before I flash the kernel, when I switched to usb debugging mode and connect to my pc(runing win7), v55 will display a icon in taskbar showing it's connected with pc, my pc will show a new driver that showing the dirs and files in v55's internal storage, and when I run command "adb devices", it will show v55 is connected.
now, all the above is not happening anymore.
The thing is : I use 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' to flash the kernel in, which means the adb.exe and fastboot.exe can work before I flahsed the kernel, and now they can't work.So I think maybe it's the kernel cause v55's usb can't work ?
Forgot to metion: now, when boot into android system or recovery mode, I can't use 'adb devices' to discover the device;when I boot in ftm mode(which I don't know what it is),sometimes 'adb devices' print 'xxxxx offline' , sometimes print 'xxxx recovery'.
when print 'xxx recovery', I use 'adb reboot bootloader' , v55 enter black screen with back light which seems in bootloader mode, but 'fastboot devices' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' are not working.Very strange.

Can anybody know what should I do now ? My intention is to root and flash CM10 to v55,and can be recongize by my pc again.
The kernel I flashed into is in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555,kernel #60 for v55.

Hi, here are some things to keep in mind when using adb.
Be sure of the command you are issuing
Insure you are in fact cd'd to wherever on your pc the adb binary is located
Insure your jdk is included in your path on your pc
To make things easier you can always also add the tools and platform-tools folder of the android sdk to your path
Lets make sure you are properly set up first before you start flashing things randomly.
For more info, you should check Android's page on ADB if you would like. http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
I'm not sure if any of this is actually directly related to your issue, but it is nice to start with the basics.

Thank you for reply.
The adb command I use is install by v55's driver.Everytime I use adb, I always go into the driver's dir (C:\Program Files\ZTE Tablet V55 USB Driver) which adb.exe is in.
And this dir is in my path.
The thing is : I use 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img' to flash the kernel in, which means the adb.exe and fastboot.exe can work before I flahsed the kernel, and now they can't work.So I think maybe it's the kernel cause v55's usb can't work ?

Ooook now we're getting somewhere, I think
Make sure when you send your fastboot flash command you send it like so:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Replace 'recovery.img' with the actual name of the img, whatever it is.
Also if you are getting the device offline error try killing server:
Code:
adb kill-server
and then restart it
Code:
adb start-server
See if that helps.

I will try these command when I get home, thank u!:good:
"adb kill-server" and "adb start-server" works fine.They turn v55's "adb devices" from "offline" to "recovery".
And I run command "adb reboot-bootloader", it seems that v55 is in bootload mode.
But after that,I run command "fastboot flash recovery CWMrecovery.img",it returns '<waiting for device>' and stuck there.
Before I flash the kernel #60, I can run "fastboot boot CWMrecovery.img" to boot to cwm,so I think it's not likely be the driver's problem,am I right?

Sorry to take so long to reply. I think it is not a driver issue. Do you know if debugging/adb is even enabled in the ramdisk? This generally would have to be done by the dev who created the kernel. Speaking of that, have you tried to contact that dev for further support? For sure they would know more than me since I don't own the device myself. I just know enough to be slightly dangerous, lol

It's very nice of you to keep help me here ,thanks again:good:!
After keep trying in past two days, I found that in ftm mode adb is enabled, and 'adb reboot bootloader' truly made the device into bootloader mode.
On my win7 pc, It can't be recognized.I switch to my old xp pc,and install the driver come from other zte user,and then...fastboot works.
Now I have the v55 running CM10,Awesome!Thanks to all contributors.
Still, my win7 pc and xp pc can't recognize my v55 through usb.But it's not big deal now.I can use tf and wifi and other ways to transfer file to v55.

Oh wow, that is quite the ordeal, but atleast its something huh, lol
I wonder if you could run adb and fastboot commands in xp mode on your win7 pc?
I know there is a way to run programs in XP mode, its just been awhile since I've done it.
And its no problem to keep trying to help, even if I don't know the device and all that. Maybe I can learn to while we are at it, and maybe make a new friend along the way

Trying to apply Nexus 6P bootloop fix

Downloaded and installed ADB. Following tutorial here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-bootloop-fix/
Specifically:
- Connect your smartphone or tablet to your computer with a USB cable. Change the USB mode to “file transfer (MTP)” mode. Some OEMs may or may not require this, but it’s best to just leave it in this mode for general compatibility.
- In the Command Prompt window, enter the following command to launch the ADB daemon: adb devices
- On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access. Naturally, you will want to grant USB Debugging access when prompted (and tap the always allow check box if you never want to see that prompt again).install adb
- Finally, re-enter the command from step #6. If everything was successful, you should now see your device’s serial number in the command prompt. Yay! You can now run any ADB command on your device! Now go forth and start modding your phone by following our extensive list of tutorials!
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
I did all the above. But don't see anything from:
C:\ADB>fastboot devices
C:\ADB>fastboot flash boot 6p48C.img
< waiting for any device >
Nexus 6P was plugged into the USB cable on Win10 machine. Am in MTP mode. Most recent Google USB drivers installed.
I have done OEM Unlock in setup|Developer options. I have also turned on USB debugging in same options.
I am [obviously] lost. Anyone know what else I might try?
OK, I have made a little progress messing around on my own. It seems that running from the CMD line in Win 10, ADB command works but Fastboot does not. WHY? Bith are in the same directory.
If I type Fastboot by itself, then I get a list of the associated parameters, which means that the CMD system DOES recognize the Fastboot command.
Now, if I run CMD====> "ADB devices", it looks like my device is recognized and attached (that is my serial# below).
But if I try CMD=====> "Fastboot devices", as the instructions require, I get nothing. And if I try to run the flash job via Fastboot, that does not work either.
==================
C:\ADB>adb devices
List of devices attached
8XV5Txxxxxxxxxxx device
C:\ADB>fastboot flash boot 6p48C.img

Wondering if I need to install the Android SDK on Windows for this process to work?
I Think You need to Redo The process from Step One.
I Heard about This and Never Did An OTA.
If it Persists Try Using A Different PC and If After That It doesn't work Then Yes Android SDK is The last Option.

Solved. I needed to add the ADB install directory to the environmental path. Don't quite understand why, but doing so allowed me to get the problem fixed.

[Help] My phone does not show any confirmation on oem unlock request!

Hi everyone.
I apologize if this was already asked.
I own a Symphony H50. I am trying to install windows via change my software but it shows device too slow or protected by manufacturer.
So googled it and found that i need to unlock my boot loader.
So I installed adb,fastboot,drivers including bootloader interface driver. And booted into fastboot mode. And typed "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" and the command prompt shows 3 dots (...) And the cursor keeps flashing. And no confirmation message shows up on my phone.
It only shows "FASTBOOT mode".
Another thing i found out while installing adb drivers that it listed my phone manufacturer as HTC.
So is the problem with my phone?
And how do i fix it?
It may be a problem with driver, uninstall the previous one and install Koush universal adb driver from kaushikdatta.com
Use the link given below for a thorough tutorial to replace drivers.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/
Thanks for reply,
I'll try the drivers.
Though my adb drivers are working fine. My issue is with fastboot.
When i boot into fastboot mode it shows "FASTBOOT mode" on a black screen.
But i would try with the
That black screen with fastboot mode written at the bottom comes up on every phone when you boot into bootloader.
Please read the whole guide before proceeding.
You may skip the driver and adb installation part if u have already taken the measures I stated before.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.

adb commands work but fastboot says "waiting for any device"?

I am on an older macbook pro running High Sierra. the phone I'm using is a Blu G5 running android 9. I have the developer options unlocked and oem unlocked and usb debugging checked. When i open my terminal i type cd and drag and drop the platform tools folder into the terminal window changing the directory to the folder containing the adb and fastboot files. I can use adb commands such as adb devices and get the serial number and it says devices. So far so good. Then i reboot the phone into the bootloader manually or using command adb reboot bootloader and the phone goes into fastboot mode. I know because it says it on top of the screen in white letters. Then i run into the problem fastboot commands don't work. If I type in fastboot devices nothing but a new command line shows up. When i type in any other command like fastboot device or fastboot oem unlock it says "waiting for any devices." I wait and wait but nothing happens. I have looked on the internet for a solution but all i find is that the driver may not deinstalled properly. I have tried manually installing fastboot driver and used sdk manager to install the fastboot driver and I have tried it using the terminal in android studio but no matter what when i try useing fastboot commands i get the "waiting for any device" message. Does any have a solution or could anyone recommend and forum for android development on MacOSX?
@DimDreams
Seems the Fastboot driver is invalid.

I have literally tried like 10 different sdk tool downloads just platform tool download basically every thing i can find. By chance would you or anyone out there have a working driver for MacOSX 10.13.6? or link a guide that can help me figure this out. I have made a little progress with a forum on xda about fastboot on macs but i still just keep getting the waiting for any device message.
@DimDreams
May also be that the Fastboot Android mode is not available on the phone in question.
I've had similar issues before and noticed that fastboot mode works better via USB 2.0 than USB 3.0. Maybe check which port you're using and switch. ADB seems to work well either way, however. Hope that helped.
I just had this problem as well and I found this, what worked for me is first boot your phone into bootloader mode with
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. While in the bootloader fastboot worked for me. Hope this helps someone!

Question unlocking bootloader command FAILED

I'm at a total loss here...
phone has unlocking and USB debugging toggled on.
phone is not a US phone and unlocking is allowed.
phone goes into fastboot mode (by turning on while holding volume)
"fastboot devices" command returns my phone is in fastboot and connected
"fastboot oem unlock 0xPASSWORD" returns FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
and fastboot: error: Command failed
I have no idea what to do or try from here.
If I try to flash an image i get:
FAILED (remote: 'Download is not allowed on locked devices')
so, defiantly still locked out of the bootloader
Try below steps
1. Ensure you have platform tools 33.x , 34 has issues.
2. Try to reboot to bootloader from pc.
adb reboot bootloader
3. Try running
fastboot flashing unlock unlockcode
Try it :
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
SOLVED I am so happy. I'm on day 3 of trying to get the phone to bootload.
there is definitely a difference between going into fastboot through the phone itself and through adb commands on PC.
fastboot through the phone shows the drop down menu and no blue light illuminated on phone.
fastboot through adb phone is black screen with a blue light on right corner on the phone.
the windows drivers behave differently between the two. I am running windows 10. phone model XQ-CT72
steps that solved the issue. For anyone in the future.
I downloaded and used platform tools version 33.0.3 NOT version 34.
"adb reboot bootloader" used from windows PC
opened windows device manager found my "discovered device" and forced it to use the SONY driver downloaded from sonys website. It would not detect it on its own, or even use the SONY driver without me telling it to specifically. device manager> "andorid" > properties > update driver > browse computer for driver > installed sony driver
everything worked following these instructions here https://www.droidwin.com/unlock-bootloader-and-root-sony-xperia-1-iv/

I had same issue and same solution fixed it what you showed and did. I was terrified, after investing so much money on this phone and not getting it unlocked.
You won't need to go through such hassle if you just use Linux VM (a Ubuntu distro will do). The driver works out of the box.
