[Q] Help !! cannot put my Z into flash mode - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Docomo SO02E version, rooted, and install firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 (not Japan firmware version),
It ran well.
But I just did a stupid thing.
I flashed Kernel and BaseBand from 10.3.1.A.2.67
Now my phone keeping said "process system is not responding ...", and keep rebooting.
I want use flashtool to flash new firmware. But it didn't recognize the phone, even when I hold VOL-down and plug USB.
Can somebody help me !!!!

Anf fastboot mode? Vol up and usb

thank you for your reply.
I can put it into fastboot mode.
but I don't know how to use fastboot mode.
(my phone is locked BL)

Sorta had the same thing happen to me. I just started the flash tool up and chose the Rom I wanted, then when it was waiting for me to plug in the phone I just held down volume. Button while it was rebooting and it took.
Had to try a few times but it worked.

I used to face the same problem. I solved it by entering fastboot mode and flash from there.

@bynoud
Do you need help or ist it working now?

Sorry for my late.
I still need help (I just backed from office)
I try many ways below:
1) plug USB before flashtool ask, then when it ask, press many time down-vol
2) plug USB before flashtool ask, then when it ask,
press up-vol+power to reboot, when screen go black quickly release power button and press down-vol
none of them work .... :crying:

Thank you for your information.
but I don't know how to flash ROM from fastboot mode (sorry for my noob)...
My phone is locked BL.
And when I tried to flash kernel.sin, it said error "command is not allowed..." (or something like that)
PS: I'm sorry for inconvenience it may cause.
It's seem I'm in very different time zone. So I can not read you guys reply quickly

Which kernel you tryed? You have to try a stock kernel. I will be in 2 hours home, maybe I can give a look to the flashtool again..
Where you live

I tried with kernel from D1.343 (original firmware of SO02E) and 10.3.1.A.0.244
both were failed.

Just a question : Why do you have unlocked your bootloader? So many people unlock it for nothing, i'm sure i can do nearly same things with a locked bootloader, also with an unlocked bootloader you can't use PCC and SUS. Also unlocking bootloader avoid your warranty.

Ok you got the point, you need an unlocked bootloader for a custom kernel.
So have you tried to restore it with PCC/SUS or Flashtool and retry? Maybe something haven't worked correctly the first time.
Do you have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261 ?
This is after flashing the unlock token?
Can you power on the phone normally?
Are there any signs of life (LED indicator, screen backlight, vibration, etc.)?

I can't tell exactly by your comments, but are you aware you need to start the phone in a different mode to access it via fastboot?
Disconnect USB
Hold Power & Volume Up until the phone vibrates three times in quick succession.
Let go of the buttons.
While holding Volume Up, connect USB cable between phone and computer.
The LED should turn blue to indicate you are in fastboot mode at which point you will need to install fastboot (not ADB) drivers. It shouldn't be possible to install ADB drivers if you do this properly.

[Q] Unable to access Fastboot mode

I read through many threads and have followed the official Sony bootloader unlocking instructions. I have requested and received the unlock code from Sony via email. I have downloaded the inf file and placed it in the correct folder in Android SDK (which I also updated). But I am cannot access fastboot mode, I hold down Vol + and plug in the USB cable but the device shows a red led and goes into charging mode. Also the PC never prompts me to install fastboot driver it simply loads the SP as Sony mass storage device (in device manager).
I have read that some people seem to think that the SIM lock affects the ability to access fastboot but this SP is SIM unlocked. Sony's official guide to unlocking the bootloader says I need to access fastboot mode to enter the unlock code but how can I unlock the bootloader if I can't get into fastboot mode?
hmmm... don't know really... i once entered fastboot mode by mistake, while trying to root stock rom. wasn't reading instructions and put device in a fsatboot mode instead of debugging... was on stock rom so don't know if custom rom would let me do that. should check myself... if anything i know it is possible to get me that blue light shining.
To enter fastboot mode in Xperia SP just power down the phone and hold down the volume up key while pluging your phone into your pc
If you need flashmode do the same thing but with the volume DOWN button held down.
I´ve got the same problem. I can´t enter in flashmode neither in fastboot mode. I´m on windows 8 32bits and I installed the .245 Deodexed ROM with a problem on root and without CWM. I don´t know what to do now, please help me.
As I explained in the first post, I understand how to access fastboot mode (and flash mode). I got root and backed up the TA partition, the stock apps (from 1.257) and backed up the stock ROM. Then, after I wasn't able to get into fastboot, I have installed CWM for LB and flashed a custom ROM based on 2.245. I am able to enter flash mode but not fastboot. As I said before, the phone is SIM unlocked but is acting like it came from a carrier, with locked bootloader and fastboot disabled. How can Sony disable fastboot? I don't get it. Any one want to take a guess how long I will have to wait until some clever dev finds an exploit?

Sorry for that i dont think that it is your computers fault because you enter fastboot (and flashmode) using your mobile phone NOT your PC
So i would roughly assume that this is a Rom bug or something in the flashing proccess went wrong.

Thanks for trying to help, but I understand that flashmode and fastboot are accessed using the phone. Actually the phone needs a piece of software like flashtool to keep it in flashmode otherwise it drops into charging mode. I didn't mention my computer so I don't know where you got that from.
As I explained, I am unable to access fastboot with stock ROM (1.257) and a custom ROM (based on 2.245) so it can't be a ROM bug or the flashing process having gone wrong.
if it's not too much of a trouble for you, go and flash .245 stock, than .257 stock kernel only. like you are trying to root it for the first time, complete rooting procedure, and than proceed on to installing CWM, but instead of connecting device in debugging mode to install CWM, try and see if you can put it in a fastboot. this was exactly the moment when i accidentally put mine SP in fastboot. of course, i'm not saying to go ahead and install anything if you score, but only to confirm if you can put your device into a fastboot mode since installing anything without CWM will likely soft brick your device.
Same problem here, i can't do anything using flashtool after flashed 2.245. I did with SUS, maybe is some flashtool issue.

It may be a flashtool problem you are right because 2 incidents with different Roms that both use flashtool to flash those roms.....
its pretty much self explenatory.

Interesting. Ok, I've read up on the process. So I use the various stock .ftf files and flashtool with the phone in flash mode? Bear in mind that kernel didn't allow fastboot when I used it with the stock .257 ROM the device came with. If I do it, I will nandroid backup first, of course, but I think I remember reading in one thread that someone managed to soft brick their XSP doing this very thing.

that's why you need to complete rooting procedure. root stock 1.257 kernel, than back to stock 2.245 with root preserved, and before you would install CWM try to put device in a fastboot mode, this assuming you still have a UB.

have you tried to boot into android, open a root terminal and type

that should bring you straight into fastboot

All that happens is that the terminal session ends and closes (not FC) the terminal app. Using the same command via adb just does a standard reboot.
i just placed my in a fastboot mode, no problems whatsoever. do you have drivers for the device installed? you will find these in flashtool installation folder.

Yes. The fastboot_with_android_usb_file.rar package specified on DooMLoRD's bootloader unlocking/relocking appears to have been removed and there are no new links in that thread. So, I found and installed the drivers included with the flashtool. But it seems to be the device that is the problem. It is acting like a carrier locked model. I am rapidly starting to believe that this one has a locked bootloader.

Hi, I have some similar issues. I've also been flashing some stuff and whenever I try to go to fastboot it just boots into CWM. Very annoying to say the least. The dark blue light goes on when i hold down volume up and for a short moment I see the fastboot driver installing on my computer. But before it completes it's already in CWM.
Not sure what to do from here on wards, maybe some advice on which kernel to flash? I am pretty sure the latest kernel I flashed is the .254 root kernel from doomlord.
Ps. I really would like to flash CM when it becomes available as nightly :angel:
Thanks in advance!

I had already installed cm10.1 jb for my xperia ion.
Now i tried to install cm11 kitkat for my xperia ion.
Every thing is gone good.
But now got stuck up with a problem.
fast boot mode is active only for 5 seconds while connecting my xperia ion to System with flash tool.
help me to do the need ful.
Guide me to download compatible drivers and flash tool for fast booting process.
If you have UNLOCKABLE bootloader, then you dont have a FASTBOOT mode on your phone. Its just pure luck. some phones dont have it... kind of a sony crap... I also happen to be one of those LUCKY ppl. no unlock, so stuck with Stock kernel forever.
When you connect your phone to Flashtools in FLASHMODE...
See for a string BOOTLOADER: NOT_ROOTABLE.... it means you belong in the lucky group...
If it says rootable, then you're doing something wrong.
Pardon me if i read something incorrect. i skimmed through all the posts before posting.

[Q] Bricked my Xperia Z??? Blue light continually burning...

Hi all,
I have a Xperia Z (C6603). (I'm from the Netherlands btw) I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my telephone today. Then I wanted to install CWM. So I downloaded a few files to do this (a kernel from Doomlord) and a Fastboot package. I started my phone in Fastboot, installed the drivers but the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' didn't work as it kept waiting for my device.
And then I did something stupid. I started Flashtool and it saw my device in Fastboot mode. I then selected Flash in Fastboot mode and in the pop-up screen I chose 'Select kernel to Hotboot' and then I selected the boot.img I had downloaded. It said Okay and Okay, then gave the message that my device was disconnected and should be rebooting but it didn't!!!
It now is still in some sort of fastboot mode as the blue light is still burning but nothing happens. I can't switch it off, windows doesn't recognise the phone, PC Companion doesn't see anything and Flashtool says 'device disconnected' and I am slowly getting desperate... I have a tiny hope that, when the battery has run out, it might come back to life...
I have tried it on all my usb-ports but nothing happens!
Is there anybody out there who has an idea what to do?
a look at this topic. I hope you can bring your XZ back to life.

Final Solution ROM bricked(?) my phone?

Hi,
I just installed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/final-solution-rom-lbl-t3073678
Everything went fine. I did all the steps. After installing the ROM and the fixes I chose system reboot from CWM Recovery. Since then I can't turn my phone on. If I press the power button there is a short vibration, but nothing happens.
1. Tried to reset with the button on the back of the phone. No go.
2. Tried all the button combination but can't even get back to recovery.
3. If I connect it to my computer then the led goes green and windows gives me that sound when you connect something new, but after 10 seconds the led turns off and I get the other sound for dismounting device. No diver can see it, neither flashtool does.
4. It doesn't charge. Well, at least the led does not turn on so I guess it's not charging.
Any idea?
You have a kernel problem, Flash with Flashtool the kernel of your rom in fastboot mode (Volume +, and connect your usb cable) with flashtool or if that don't available, flash a stock kernel in fastboot mode (Volume + and connect your usb cable at your phone), when it's flashed, restart your phone

Normally, you can flash the kernel included in your rom, it's a file name boot.img, flashtool is good i think, can you send error messages with flashtool if you have any messages

I double checked that it works for locked bootloaded. It's even the name of the thread: [Final Solution ROM][UBL/LBL][V2][ODEXED for extreme smoothness][William's Kernel]
So the issue now is that I can't even install the driver (windows 10) as the device is being disconnected after 10 seconds of plugging in. I got the tft file now for the stock kernel and installed flashtool but it can't detect the phone (in that 10 secs), it says that driver is missing. Tried the C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and selected the necessary drivers but it never succeeds. Attached the screenshot of the failure of installing the drivers.

you must start with phone turned off, fastboot doesnt work because you have hardlocked bootloader
pick stock ftf of your choice let it load and when it prompts you connect turned off phone with volume- pressed
then root it with towelroot and install super su, open it and update su binary
when you will be done with that contact me or respond to this post i will help you with next steps

Yeah i know that your bootloader is not unlockable, by ftf loading i mean that select .ftf you want to flash first and wait until it prepares and prompts you to connect the phone, btw last flashtool that works with sp is flashtool-0.9.18.6 , if you will have problem with understanding that try to search how to flash ftf on xperia sp on youtube i hope you will get it eventually
towelroot is an app from geohot you can get it here https://towelroot.com/ it can root your device
super su is an app on google play it is free and it controls root apps, in other words it grants or denies root access, once you will gain root with towelroot, open super su and it will prompt you to update binary just select normal and it will work

you cant use fastboot with your bootloader locked that is the point there is NO WAY of flashing custom kernel with bootloader locked or you will brick your device, only way to flash kernel on lbl is to flash stock kernel in your case WITH FLASHTOOL TROUGH FLASHMODE

I understand what you are saying. But flashtool doesn't let me flash kernel in flash mode.
So it's a catch 22? After all this means that it's already bricked, isn't it?

You are not trying to flash kernel only, but that is possible too, you are trying to flash whole stock firmware.
Yes your phone is bricked because you flashed custom kernel on LBL.
Download some .205 or .207 firmware from android development section of xperia sp xda forum and flash it with flashtool.
There are plenty of tutorials online, i dont mean to be rude but you just must try and understand it yourself.
Here you have link for firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
just flash the ftf and phone should be ok, if you will be succesfull i can help you with rooting and flashing something suitable for locked bootloader xperia sp

Wait a sec. It seems I could flash the kernel in flash mode.
It was keep disconnecting but finally the sony logo appeared and it booted to the system. It doesn't work properly, and it's very slow, but now I can get into CWM. Do you have any suggestion which ROM should I install on it?

Help..Error Mode:No Recovery image,Load failed ( no fastboot )

Hi, I have P10 VTRL09 .. A couple days ago i did relock bootloader and now i can not enter my phone.it stuck at Error mode.
I tried almost every method but it always comes back to error mode. I discharge the batterry and charge, if I am lucky, sometimes it will boot into the system but it will black out. I can not do anything except turn off, but while it was in this stage, i could connect to pc and get detected. pc try to install MTP driver but it also failed. I tried command in adb, it also failed (waiting for devices) ....
Issues :
1.boot loader locked
2.no recovery ( can not be load )
3.can not enter fastboot
4.can not force update
5.PC not detect
Question : Is there a way to make my phone go to fastboot ? so i can relock bootloader with adb and flash new firmware.
i appreciate all the help...please help me.
I have exactly the same issue. With identical error codes. Still trying to work out a solution.
on the Huawei website, the had a bootloader.img installer for older models but none for the p10/ p10 plus
Any advice would be appreciated
Let phone completely discharge even it power off automatically. Then put the phone on the charging it will boot up to system then go to settings >advanced settings>back up&reset> reset all settings
when it boot i cant see anything except black . i can only turn off or volume.
Connect with pc and press power and vol-
It should boot into fastboot. You got the error cause wrong or broken recovery.

The phone will enter fastboot.
flashing the stock recovery

Hi, I was having the same problem. Mate 8 EMUI 8.
After looking everywhere and trying all the options available, I wasnt able to resolve.
Finally, I tried FunkyHuawei and got my system back through eRecovery.
Gave them the readings like version no. , build no...etc through fastboot. The required info is on their site. They then reverted with a link of the firmware which I flashed through their FuHunbrick tool. It force updates the entire full last version.
After flashing and booting, the system didnt boot but was able to go to eRecovery and restored my previous version.
If you or anyone else stuck at this error, they can try at their own risk as they dont guarantee anything.
Edit: you should and will be able to boot into fastboot once the battery is totally down and phone shuts off completely. Just press volume down button and insert usb. Try again and again if it doesnt work first time.
Thanks.
Help
First sorry for my English
I have a similar issue:
Huawei P10 Lite
I managed to install TWRP, but when I did that I lost the OTA upgrades, then I tried to install the stock recovery and then the phone doesn't start. It just stay on the first screen (the one with the Huawei logo) and it gets hot as hell. The combination of keys doesn't work, the power key just reboot and gets back to the logo screen. I need your help guys, the phone is 3 month old. Thanks

Hi, let the phone battery dry out totally first. Totally. It should not vibrate at all when you press power button. Leave for a couple of hours more.
Then recharge to 50℅ or more and restart and see if you get to eRecovery or other options.
Are you getting any error screen after logo?
You will definitely get to fastboot by pressing volume down button and inserting usb. Try again n again.

Hi. I did the battery part and the part of the pressing the vol - is and connecting to pc. It started but didn't got into fastboot or bootloader, just turned on normally and then I ran the adb command "adb reboot recovery" and I had to do the battery part again. I am afraid to run "adb reboot bootloader" because the risks of the draining out the battery. I mean my phone does not enter into recovery.
