Hey All.
I am on vacation, and just brougth a new notebook (lovely Medion Akoya), and i want to sync with my diamond. However, i downloaded the active sync from the ms homepage, and i get the "Unrecognized device" error all the time.
Yes, i tried to use different cables, yes i tried to deactivate the advanced network, however, i doesnt seem to recognize it at all.
Even if i do a softreset + volume down, i just get the SPL1-40 screen, but eventhou my phone is plugged in the USB, it doesnt say that, only "serial" when i disconnect.
I've been searching this forum the entire day, and i cant seem to find a solution. So, i kindly ask the gurus help me
Diamond running 0.95 bePe and pc running xp sp3.
Kind regards, Heien.
Try to flash a stock ROM and check if you run into the same problem.
In order to sync, you must be running the handset normally, don't enter bootloader mode.
Did the system prompt you for drivers the first time you connected it to the PC? Activesync 4.5 provides the rndis drivers.
the problem is, i cant even flash my device, i tried to flash it, but i get a connection error with the tool.
I know about the bootloadermode, and that i am not able to sync in that state, but i just wanted my pc/diamond to recognize the connection between them. The system did not prompt me for drivers, it just went straigth to unrecognized device. i even tried to point the the driverupdate tool to the drivers folder with the rndis drivers in the as folder.
-i also tried to hardreset my device.
Try doing the same on a fresh stock XP install, without firewall or anything similar.
We need to figure out if it's a problem with the handset itself or your OS/PC.
Try another USB port (DON'T use hubs).
Enter bootloader mode. When you connect it to the USB, it should at least toggle from serial to usb.
If that's the case, at least your USb is working well.
I have a problem with the diamond and needs to change ROM/SPL and other stuff, but it won't recognize that the phone has been plugged in. I have tried 5 different USB cables and 3 different computers. I don't have HTC warranty. I've done 5+ hard-resets.
Please help.
First, what OSes? For instance: win 7 doesn't recognize the phone if it tries to connect in active sync mode.
I've always used windows xp, in the past it worked.
hi,
try to connect your htc twice : my computer does not recognize my htc at first plug but when I retry in less than 1 minute, my htc displays popup menu and I can choose USB/active sync, I click done and then my computer recognizes it. I don't know if it will work with your device but you can try that ^^
Thanks for the suggestion,
I've already tried that a lot of times, nothing doing.
ok, did you try to change the status of your usb connexion ?
I mean : settings>connections>usbtoPC> then try these 4 combinations together :
- enable faster data synchronization (try both modes on/off)
- ask me about usb connection type (try both modes on/off)
I can get into bootloader, but never know that you could flash ROM in there. Is there a guide?
Also, I have a problem with a flickering screen that some threads here suggest changing SPL version to fix. Is it possible to change SPL using bootloader?
I just downoaded WM6.5 to my phone and did a ROM flash from internal storage, but USB still has problem & flickering screen still there. I need to be able to change the HardSPL w/o connection to the computer.
Is it possible to load some of the .exe in the HardSPL package and run it on the phone?
Someone help,
Thanks
Perhaps it's simply due to your PC firewall ?? Deactivate it and try to plug your htc again...
the problem is that my the computer doesn't connect with the phone via the USB cable.
just try to disable your PC firewall before connecting your device.
sorry I cannot find CustomRUU.exe on this forum, i did find DiamondCustomRUU.exe on the wiki. However, the interface for it is the same as the RomUpdateUtility.exe, which requires activesync connection.
I did proceed anyways by entering bootloader(Voldown + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works. Then I try the USB trigger mode (Voldown + back + softreset) and run the utility -> nothing works.
I am tempted to put the HardSPL in the internal storage and rename it DIAMING.NBH and flash it but I do not know the consequences.
Thank you for your replies,
I'd appreciate more help
I have a Xperia SP model C5306 on Fido in Canada that I cannot for the life of me get into fastboot mode. The phone is carrier unlocked (by unlockthatphone) and I've verified it on another carrier. I have also rooted the phone with the doomlord exploit successfully.
When I hold the volume up button and plug the device into my Win 7 Pro 64 bit PC the LED goes red for a second then orange once the battery charging icon appears.
The phone seems to have no problem getting into flash mode but fastboot is a no-go.
To get into fastboot you need an UNLOCKED bootloader, it is not the same thing as a SIM unlocked phone.

Based on all of the instructions I've read fastboot is required in order TO UNLOCK the bootloader, including those from Sony. If you can't fastboot until the bootloader is unlocked how do you unlock the bootloader?
Have you a SIMLOCK? Have you became that phone from your provider?? it can be that the provider disabl the fastboot that you not can disabl the Simlock

I bought the phone from a provider but I have carrier unlocked the device through an unlock code that I bought from Unlockthatphone.com
Is that different from a Simlock?
Have you installed the drivers yet?
This phone is quite funny, it restarts after a few seconds of inactivity in Fastboot/Flash mode
Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show

I have the drivers on my PC, I downloaded the ones from Sony and replaced them in the SDK folder. I haven't got to the point where my computer asks me to install the drivers. I'll try this.
649 34535926
So when I hold down the volume up button and connect my phone to the PC via USB I see a green LED (fully charged) on the device and my device manager tells me that there is a Sony Ericsson seehcri Control Device connected. If I navigate to the Driver information of that device the driver is pointing at the Windows System 32\drivers\seehcri.sys driver.
When I try to update that driver to the Fastboot driver it says there are no 64-bit compatible drivers in that folder. Are there 64-bit drivers for fastboot?

Okay, Sony's fastboot drivers are not signed, so to install the drivers, you need to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows first.
Look here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354721
Try this method.
Install Drivers
Fastboot Mode - Blue Light - Turn phone off>Press and Hold Volume UP button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the blue light.
Flash Mode - Green Light - Turn phone off> Press and Hold Volume DOWN button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the green light.
Common problem is it doesn't stay too long on specific mode
You will need drivers try downloading Xperia Z driver here - http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-driver/
(Optional in case you can't Install the driver correctly)
Install Driver first
1.Extract the downloaded file. (If it is in Zip file) in a place where you can easily locate it.
2.Connect your phone (turned on) to your computer
3. Assuming that you have My Computer Icon on your desktop.. Right Click it > Manage> Device Manager (Located at the left tab) > Android Phone> android ADB interface > Right click> Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for the driver software and locate where you put the XZ driver.
4.Done!.
It worked for me, hope it will work for you, too.
Guys, you can correct me if I am wrong..

My major problem is that i never get a blue light when I hold down the volume up and plug it in. My computer makes that sound like a uSB device had been unplugged in a couple seconds.
Also, I download the drivers, and with the device powered on, plug it into the PC. What I see in the Device manager is Sony sa0108 ADB Interface Driver. If I disable adb on the device I get nothing in the device manager.
Flashtool will not allow me to do the adb fastboot reboot either.
This is extremely frustrating!
Hey, I had been trying to unlock the boot loader but when i´m in fastboot mode it only stays for seconds in that mode, what can I do?
Same here. My solution:
Download the drivers from the pack in this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090268
Open the device manager before connect the phone to the usb cable.
Follow the procedure: press volume up and connect.
Right click on the device manager when "S1fastboot" appears.
Select update driver.
Select the folder where the drivers from first step are.
If the led goes off and you can't install the driver, go back at the beginning of the update driver window, and unplug and replug the phone. If you act with good timing, you get the driver installed.
Hello to all,
I would like to install a custom ROM but unfortunately my phone doesn't want to enter in flash mode! Once switched off, I plug it to my computer while keeping vol down button pressed but instead of entering in flash mode, it displays the battery charging icon.
I hard reset the phone but the problem still remains. Any idea.
Thanks, have a nice day!
My guess is either the USB cable (did you use the OEM cable?) or the drivers (does windows recognize your phone?). Removing the SD card or first entering recovery were suggested earlier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/update-volume-connect-doesnt-t2613733). But more experiences Z3c owners may have better ideas...

Using flashtool:
Turn phone off completely.
Start flashtool, choose flashmode and choose which firmware you are going to use. Tick Exclude TA.. Click on flash.
It will start preparing the build and after a few seconds it will ask you to connect the phone.
Plug the phone in while holding volume down, as soon as flashtool starts doing something, you can let go.
If you don't know how to use flashtool then I urge caution, Sony's aren't like flashing a Samsung, it is actually possible to brick your phone with flashtool. There are lots of questions on 'how do I fix my phone?' in this Q&A thread from people who didn't read up on what they were doing.
Recommend you read bilboa1's great guide on what to do, starting with backing up your TA partition..
Thanks for your answers but I think the mini usb from my phone must be dead.
About Flashtool, I can't use it because I can't go into Flash mode! Moreover, my phone is not recognized by windows. I tried with several usb cables and computers when I plug it, I don't have any MTP or PTP choice, it can only charge..
On Windows 10, devices is not recognized and Window 7 see it as a 5880!
And I tried to remove SD and SIM cards..

If the USB lead was dead you wouldn't get the charging icon on your phone.
Have you installed the Sony drivers.
You also need to run exe in the Drivers folder within Flashtool, to make sure you have correct flashomde drivers available. Installing these drivers is very difficult in Windows 10 and it require restarting the machine in safe mode, and going into the advanced settings to disable driver signature checking, this how to video is for windows 8, but you'll get the idea
Have you installed ADB?
Sonys PC Companion should set you up with the correct connection to your PC
Have you tried other USB cables?

Yes, I've installed PC Companion, adb drivers but nothing appears when I use command "adb devices". I've also installed flashtools drivers but deactivating drivers signatures in Windows. But when I try to flash, flashtool ask me to turn my device in flash mode (switch off then volume down + power) but I can't do that.
I've tried several usb cables. Some are charging my devices, some are aren't but none of them allows me to data transfer!
I've also tried to force MTP or PTP usb transfer in developper option, it doesn't work more..

Do you have any warranty on your phone, you could be right that the usb socket is damaged somehow, but it's strange that you can still get a charge through it.
Your only chance at moving to a custom rom change is flashfire
This should let you flash a rom without recovery.
Edit: Flashmode is just holding down just - volume button, not volume+power
Obviously your chances of rescuing a failed install are going to almost zero without recovery and flashtool, so be very very careful about what you try and flash in flashfire. Read up completely that the rom you want to flash is going to work pushed on top of whatever you are running at the moment.
For anyone who might be interested, sometimes you have to try a USB 2.0 port or just a different port. I had the same problem while using a usb 3 port, switched to 2.0 worked like a charm.
Try to open the back of the phone and removing/unplugging the battery wait 5 seconds and then put it in again. Then try holding down the volume down button while you connect a usb cable.
