Hiya,
My M4 doesn't boot, recovery and fastboot don't work, no LEDs at all except for when i connect it to a PC or a socket, where only a constant Red LED is seen. It just stopped working one day. I've tried taking the battery out and putting it in again, but no luck there.
Thanks in advance!

Try to install fastboot drivers like in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/help/how-to-install-drivers-sony-xperia-m4-t3831514
And a question, have you enabled debugging in the developer settings?

I've tried to install fastboot in 101 different ways, I'm afraid to say. The drivers work perfectly for another M4 Aqua I have, so it's not that. Regarding your question about USB debugging, I received this phone in its current state and forgot to ask about it, so I'm not completely sure.
Thanks,

Emma is preferable

I've tried both to no avail I'm afraid. Furthermore, the phone isn't even recognized in device manager.
I think all hope is lost at this point....

Hi,
before you'll say something: i've done everything in every manual i've found, the Flashtool guide für noobies too.
My problem is, i can't root my X10, flashtool says and superoneclick (i have used every version i have found) said always that my phone is not plugged, but it is!!
At the moment i use the latest firmware, 2.1.A.0.435
So what can i do? Has anyone a simple trick?
greetz Cracker, and sorry for my bad english...
Are you sure you have connected your phone is flash mode....you have to hold the back button while you plug in your phone. The notification led will be green if you've done this right..

Flash mode wtf?
Make sure you have unknown sources and usb debugging enabled then try again with flashtool
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
USB Debugging is on, and i tested it also on flash mode, but it doesn't helped.
So, i don't know where's the problem
Oops..my bad...he asked about root
Try changing the usb port and then try rooting... the usb port was the problem in my case, it was recognising other usb devices but not my phone.
Also try installing SEUS first so that it installs the x10 drivers onto the pc.
Thanks for your help guys!
I have tested it on an other PC from my friend and it works perfectly, don't know why
My brother had a same problem, and we spend 2 hours to solve...
The problem is: pc companion or seus not installed before...

Hi to all!
Since yesterday, my PC which is running W8 gave an error whenever i tried to connect my xperia mini to my PC. 'USB device not recognized'. I was running CM 10.1 and a new update was available so i tried to flash it. Flashed it successfully and then the network was gone so, what i did was flash back to CM 9.1. Here the problem occurred. My PC is not recognizing my phone. I tried flashing the kernel with flash tool and followed this :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087 Still nothing. Connected it to another laptop running windows 8. Even that didn't work so i connected my phone to my dad's laptop running windows 7. I was somehow able to flash kernel at first but then the same error there too! Tried 3 different PC's and i'm not able to solve this issue! Please help!
as you have a custom kernel on device,try accessing CWM and installing the stock ROM,then install CM again..
btw did you check the CM10.1 page for any bugs..?

Tried 2 different ROM's on the same kernel. Nothing happens. I get the same error each time! Also now my ear-piece won't work too (In both the ROM's i flashed) :'(
I also noticed that using Win XP, i can connect MSC to my PC and copy/paste items. But as soon i go into fastboot mode, it gives me the error!
Edit: I have used CM 10.1 before with no bugs. This started happening only yesterday!
I know this sounds dumb, but do you have ADB on (android debugging) because my windows 8 computer doesn't recognise my phone without it on. Hope I helped.

check device manager..
when you connect your xperia..what does it show ?
try updating the driver by manual selection...
if that doesnt work..
open flashtool..
check the logs when you connect your xperia..
-DELETE-
I somehow managed to connect it to flashhtool in flash mode! Now i'm flashing .42 ftf file to use my device somehow with 0 bugs/glitches. It is taking forever to do so! See the attachment!
Any other way to flash ftf file?
Thank you
Okay, so i did flash the ftf and now running GB .42 Still can't connect to computer
What should i do?
Is your computer detecting any other xperia device,or an iphone...?
check if your micro usb port is damaged...

It is detecting my pendrive, my hard-drive and my nexus!
Edit: Tested on 3 laptops each running:- Win8 and other two Win7. Also, tested on 1 PC (dual-booted with XP and Win8) Same result in all of them.
Is SEUS detecting the phone?
Try changing connection modes on the phone...
if not..flash stock kernel
get me a screenshot of flashtool logs for check drivers option..
its here help->check drivers..
Solved (I guess)
Well i guess i solved the problem! I plugged the USB to the back ports. It worked. I guess this is a temporary solution. Now i think my SdCard got corrupt or something. I'll format it

Man you really don't have a clue do you!!
Why in hell would you need OTG to flash a rom? Do you even know what OTG is?
Stop ignoring people that give you the solution too. It's really bad manners.
So download the stock rom and flash it.
You should spend a day reading up first before you damage the phone permanently.
Sorry if not being clear I have been listening my phone has a hardware issue and I'm not to much of a noob have tried each comment. I'm not to nooby but I have downloaded the drivers my device is not being recognized correctly I have a hazardous icon in device manager on my android phone lg ls970. My phone does not support otg I'm trying to install .zips through a flash drive and otg cable. I'm sorry if waisting peoples time with my apparently nooby question. Please c correct me if I'm wrong thanks for the support.
Let me be clearer I'm sorry for not spelling it out well enough. I have installed drivers many times I have installed the driver however my phone is not being recognized correctly I have uninstalled and tried again. Otg which I looked it up pretty handy in these situations, doesn't work for this phone (due to outputting)I had a cm10.2 kernal which may have had something do do with this. I have come to believe that its a hardware problem with the female port I will try again on another computer tomorrow and see.
What I want to know is why it still recognizes something and if its fixable?
Thx
I have fixed thanks luqman98 it was a problem with windows not allowing me to install drivers due to 8.1 update

Hi guys,
I have been searching for hours but I can't seem to find how to fix my problem.
I have a new Z5 Compact that I was trying to flash with the stock firmware but I somehow managed to brick it. I don't think I had the drivers installed properly when I tried to flash with flashtool but since flashtool didn't even detect my phone or appear to begin flashing it I don't know how I bricked it. Anyway after trying for hours to fix it on my own I can't seem to find the information that I need. I have installed the drivers properly as far as I can tell by allowing unsigned drivers on windows 10 but whenever I boot to flash mode the phone isn't detected. Nothing even comes up in Device Manager so there are no options to update drivers or anything. I just hold the volume down button, plug in the usb, the LED briefly flashes red before holding on green and then nothing happens. Neither Flashtool or PC Companion detect the phone and I have tried this on 2 different laptops running Windows 7 and Windows 10. If anyone has any instructions on how to get this to work on Ubuntu I'm willing to try that too as I also have Ubuntu installed but I am really at a loss for what else I can try.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

sounds dumb but have you tried a different port and different cable? i ran into the same problem and found out one of the ports on my laptop doesnt work for data. flashtool is a major pain, it took me three pcs to find one that it worked with and then it took a good 5 tries and reboots to have a successful flash. flashing twrp and then xpower would be easier imo.

Yeah, I have tried 7 ports and 3 cables across two different pcs. There's a desktop I can try on but I'll wait until tomorrow. It's really frustrating. I just wanted to root so that I could batch install my apps from Titanium but now I have got a brick. In the time that I have spent trying to fix it I could have selected and installed all the apps individually.

keep trying, it'll work after you figure out whats wrong with your install, flashtool is real finnicky. If your already soft bricked and only want root id suggest fastboot twrp 3.0.2 then flash xpower 3.0 and be done with it. the only real reason to use flashtool is to flash a new image onto the phone because you cant take an ota.

I tried following that guide but when I try to install the driver it just says "The INF file you selected does not support this method if installation". You didn't happen to have that problem and find a workaround did you?
Just an update on what I have tried if anyone has any suggestions...
I tried inserting a SIM in case that would make any difference. I have also tried it on a desktop pc as well as the two laptops now which is windows 7, 8.1 and 10. The Windows 8.1 attempt was a clean install and I used the advanced boot method to enable the installation of unsigned drivers. I had high hopes for that but it didn't work. What I find curious is there is no activity when I plug the phone in, in flash mode. If I plug it in, in fastboot mode it searches for drivers and the device appears in device manager but with flash mode I get nothing. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the device itself has a faulty flash mode.

I managed to flash a Z5 Compact with the same model number without any issues on the same computer that won't detect my handset so I'm pretty sure that it's an issue specific to this handset. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
Hello everyone,
I read many useful information’s about this watch here on forum, however didn’t find solution for my case. I got a Xiaomi Amazfit. The watch is not charging or turning on. It is possible to connect it via USB cable to a Windows machine, the device stays as "unrecognized". My theory is that the ROM is hardly broken.
Here is my question: Is there a method to flash the watch via flashtool (or similar). All tutorials require the watch to be able to go to fastboot, and this can’t be done in this case. I can’t connect this as adb device also. I have done several times a flash procedure on phones that could not be turned on. Hope You can help me
Best regards Daniel

For the no charging part, make sure you clean the metal pins and the small hole slot on the back. Sometimes there is some build inside the small hole slot that prevents the pins touching the charger.

Hey. I read all the informations on the sugested topic. I got all images for flashing. I think there od an issue with USB conection. My watch showes up after conecting to USB.

Im runing windows on mode that allows instalation of unsigned drivers....

As I had had the same problem, I'll share my mysterious experiences. After I used pace for 1 month it become dead but while keep pushing power button, the white flash appear and then off. I changed the wall adaptor and then the watch revived.
For several days ago the watch gone dead and no white flash on when pushed power on 2 secs. anymore. I tried to change adaptor but nothing happen. I tried to clean the contact of both watch and ring, but it still dead.
Finally I switched the power cord from samsung mobile wire to Blackberry cord, it resurrected.
So I suggest you all to try changing the charging system may solve this problem.
