[Q]LT30AT unable to get into flash mode

So I am unable to use the ota for son reason. And when pccompanion asks me to put the phone into flash mode I get a response from my computer saying unrecognized USB device.... I don't know what to do. I'm running windows 8 64bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

try redownloading the ftf again.
Can you send me the link from which you are trying to download as well please

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39064968. Could this cause my phone to not be recognized? A bad .ftf download
Sent from my LT30at using xda premium

Have you extracted the ftf file out of the zip file?
Sent from my star trek communicator

Yep. From what I can tell the issue is stemming from the fact win is not recognize my phone when trying to enter flash mode
Sent from my LT30at using xda premium

no, to me it looks like the ftf is the issue as it crashes at the same time it starts to flash it, but does say device connected in flash mode.
Can you try repairing/updating the phone using pccompanion and tell me what it says then.
EDIT which version of java have you got installed?

Make Sure your cable is proper. Do not connect your mobile until flashtool prepared for your mobile otherwise it will go out of the flash mode
When the file is prepared then connect your mobile and once connect do not touch the USB cable.
My USB cable is very sensitive to my touch.

fully charged fo sure. thats why this is so baffling

If you have an AntiVirus, disable it's realtime scan momentarily, or exclude USB auto-scanning until you finish flashing. I have BitDefender Internet Security and it often causes the exact same thing to happen.

sigh still nothing. the phone keeps disconnecting itself. and when i try to turn it on normally, all i see is a momentary flash of the led at the bottom and then nothing.

Are your flashmode drivers are installed?
Open device manager and connect in flashmode.
And check whether those drivers are installed or not.

As I can see, your phone isn't turned off.
There is an OFF button under back cover. Press and hold it for a few second until 3 vibrates. After that flash the phone.

Driver Issue Flash Mode

Hey everyone,
Have a bit of a major problem with my Xperia SP right now and I am hoping someone can help. I originally was on Windows 8.1 and had some major issues with the system, among one of these when I tried to install Flashtool drivers from the included file, I had to go through all the resetting and reinstalling to get driver enforcement off however when the drivers installed I connected my device and it was fine.
Then I tried to put the phone in Flash Mode and everything was going downhill, basically I connected my phone as I had done a thousand times previously on windows 7 and the phone would go green for about 3 seconds then red light and go into charging mode. If this was done when requested from flashtool it would detect it was connected but I get an error with loader.sin as below....

Now in normal circumstances this means your bootloader cannot be unlocked right? However my bootloader is unlocked.... and confirmed by service menu and also I have been using unlocked bootloader ROM's....
So anyway I eventually had enough of Windows 8 and went back to Windows 7 (separate partitions are a beautiful thing ) and tried again.... same process same result. The best bit is on both systems I cannot forcefully uninstall any phone drivers because i just get an endless loop of failures unless I do it before connecting the phone once to the computer. The way the phone reacts in flashtool is as if the phone is permentantly in Flash Mode however its not and still stays the same way until I reboot my computer.
I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling but nothing is working. I even tried a different cable just in case and nothing. This only affects flash mode or the entire phone once flash mode has been activated once and then it affects the entire system and wont allow me to restart normally without pressing the reset button on my case even if the phone isn't connected and I also cannot do anything with the drivers anymore at this point.
I am actually trying to relock my bootloader and go back to stock as I will be selling the phone later this week. I flashed a cut down stock ROM from XDA using recovery but now its flashed I no longer have recovery either since it was stock and I have no root privileges now xD
Ideally what I am aiming for is to relock bootloader through flashmode, then use sony tool to reinstall full official firmware. This issue also happens with Sony tool by the way.
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated!!!!

Also tried to reinstall all drivers and Sony tool as well, MTP driver installation failed but all others went ahead and I got this on Flashtool

Would you like to use a Linux version of Flashtool? I will guide you from the very Live USB booting, UDEV implementation, and lastly the flashing process
Though please note I am quite busy, so my replies will be quite slow.

I recently rooted and flashed my compact. I also have Windows 8.1, and for the life of me, I couldn't get my files to flash using Windows 8.1. As soon as I switched to a different laptop using Windows 7, I had absolutely no problems.

Well the issue with 8.1 was the digital signature which i managed to disable so drivers installed fine, but so fat am getting the error for (loader.sin), i need to know if any other solutions to overcome this issue

Yeah, even after I disabled digital signature, I still couldn't get Flashtool to work properly on Windows 8.1.
I was still forced to use Windows 7.
Best of luck.

I'm facing "similar" issue while flashing latest stock Lollipop firmware for India.
I've reported an issue on Flashool github repo.

Let's see.
