Hi, I'm tryin to instal nAa GB kernel, but flashtool doesn't recognize my phone... If I plug the USB it says "device connected with USB debugging off", but it doesn't say the model and in fact when I try to flash it doesn't work. I've installed gordon gates and all the drivers, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

It may be in your flashtools folder
Go to flashtools installation folder/drivers now u should see it... & its the right one
- maybe you should plug while your device is turned on?+usb debugging enabled (don't laugh! I just can't remember it)

Do you have PC Companion? It should have necessary drivers for the phone and also install gordon's gate from the setup file in the drivers folder.If its not working then search the web for it you will get the latest drivers for download.

yes my friend it is.
are you rooted? if yes then you could try installing the rom again using mobile odin.. and see if that helps
Try this,
Boot into recovery, connect the phone & let it install the required drivers.
Boot into Download mode & again let windows install required drivers.
Boot normally & again let it install whatever things that are required to run things
& you are thru. Hope this helps.

Hello, bit of a newbie myself but I may be of help. A couple of questions- has it worked before, and if so, when? Secondly, prior to it stopping working (that is, if it did), did you install any new software on your phone or computer that may have affected the setup?
its not rooted.nd still m nt able to connect to any pc.

Sounds like a USB driver issue. Do you have kies installed, or the stock usb drivers installed? Mine can be a bit flakey when connecting with USB though.
Actually sounds like something that happened to me. After upgrading kies my usb drivers got updated to but my pc showed missing id whenever my note got connected. Only solution i found is to reinstall the usb drivers, disconect the pc from internet and then connect the note. After drivers are installed i can connect to the internet again. Shoud i connect the note while connected to internet gives me the missing hardware id again and makes me install drivers again. Hope this helps you.
Guyz thank you Very Much ... But A Small dust Particle Over The USB Wire Was creating the Problem. M Sorry and Thank You Guyz <3

I did, but I don´t know if they´re working.
Didn´t notice anything different in the device manager.
The first time I connected my device windows couldn´t install them, but it did not ask for them again.
How are them suposed to be installed?

That's the problem. Windows can't install them just when you connect the phone, you need to install them manually.
When you downloaded the Unlock Bootloader tool, there was a folder or a zip with the drivers. If it is a zip, extract it.
Connect the phone leaving up arrow pressed, the led will turn blue.
Go to device manager on the pc, look for Fastboot or something like that.
Select browse my computer for driver software and select the divers folder. It should install them right away.
Now you have the fastboot drivers installed and you can continue with the procedure.
Edit: You already have the KEY from Sony?

When I go to DEVICE MANAGER I can´t find fastboot or anything like it... There are a couple of unknown devices...
I should power down the phone and connect it with vol up right?

Win7?
Can you attach some screenshots of the device manager page?
Yes. You need to power off and connect the device holding up until led turns blue.

Don't worry, if I can help, I'll do it.
EDIT: When you get home, check this out. It was for 2011/12 devices, but most of the procedure works for the Z.
Fastboot drivers are unsurported on x64 you have disable driver verification

If I install the fastboot drivers through the flash tool should it work?

How?
Thanks!
think this is it
1. download flashtool and install
2. type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" in cmd and restart PC
3. install driver in the flashtool "drivers" folder, check fastboot, agree when prompts
4. type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" in cmd and restart PC

EDIT:
Also this might be handy if you are planning alot of adb usage
Got it!
Usb debugging was MST and not MCS... duh...
Unocked...
Recovery...
Rooted...
THANKS!

[Q] XZ won't pass "Device connected in flash mode" in SE Xperia Flasher

Hello,
I have some problems trying to flash my XZ. I'm using Xperia Flashing Tool 0.9.10.2 beta6 on Windows 8 x64 and whenever I try to flash my XZ flashing tool "gets stuck at "Device connected in flash mode" message after which it gets reconnected and if I try again same thing will happen.
So my question is, am I doing something wrong and if so, please advise.

I think drivers are installed fine. Screenshot is below.
no doesnt look it, under ADB devices there is no device, Reinstall drivers and try again. Try the way in my sig for win 8
Unfortunately same thing happens - check screenshot below.

thats better you now have a ADB device installed, you should now be able to put your phone into flashmode
power off your phone with usb diconnected, hold vol down and reconnect turned off phone to usb and you should now get green led and flashtool will say device connected in flashmode but you only have about a min in flashmode before phone reboots
Thank you for your help and effort but even now it keeps disconnecting device. I don't know where the problem is, maybe I'm not doing something as I should.
This is the procedure I was trying:
1) I select Flash device in flash tool
2) I select Flashmode mode
3) I choose which firmware to flash and click Flash so flash tool can start it's magic
4) When flash tool shows message that I can remove my device from USB and turn it off I do so
5) I also press volume down and reconnect the device with the PC.
6) Problem happens here
what about if flashtool isnt ready to flash file, does flashtool pick it up (4 and 5)
it will say device connected in flashmode with green led
Yeah, it does pick it up and displays a message "Device connected in flash mode" and after awhile "Device disconnected".

[Q] Help needed urgently

Hi all,
Not really sure where to post this, so firgured id put it under general questions. I am currently trying to flash android 4.2 to an Xperia Z1 thats currently running 4.4.4 kitkat. - Now feel i should mention at the start, that i am not particually brilliant with android, and am slowly learning the basics.
I am using a program called Flashtool, I have the file that I want to flash over (the 4.2) - I have also gone through the program to install all the drivers. ( I have installed all drivers as i didnt know what i needed and didnt need, and initially tried just installing the z1 drivers ) Flashtool picks up my phone, and tells me what its currently running, it also detects that what version of android i am currently running, but for some reason dosent pick up that ive tried to plug in my phone in flash mode.
The system detects when I start the phone in fastboot mode, but whenever I use Flashtools to try and connect my phone in flash mode, it just keeps asking me to connect the phone. ( I am using Z1 and the standard key is vol down whilst plugging it into the usb cable, however the l.e.d. flashes red and green quickly and then shuts off, cant even be sure that the problem is Flashtools, it might be that i havent put it into flashmode properly??)
any help would be brillant, feel free to contact me via the xda site, or via e-mail [email protected] -
This might be a particularly basic problem to somebody, its had me stumped for days, any help you could give would be massively appreciated,
cheers
Try Older version of flashtool or you are missing some drivers in flashtool folder is file with drivers and you need to check flashtool drivers and z1 drivers and firstly connect the phone and wait to install drivers and next turn off phone and hold vol down and connect without flashtool to install flashtmode drivers and at the end try to flash via flashtool.
If you are sure you have installed drivers correctly then kill any other process on your pc which use adb drivers like pc companion or airdroid etc. Or use other usb port. Or use other pc. Wrong thread though.

Thanks all, have now successfully rooted the phone, unfortunately for me that has yielded more questions than answers loll,
Now that its rooted, its running 4.2.2 and I am wondering if there is a way of keeping root access, but flashing it back up to 4.4.?
Really grateful to everyone!!
