[Q] Flash Mode Reboots while connected - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi, so I have a stock ICS rom on my lt30a, and im trying to put the Jelly Bean update. This is the first time im using flashtool but I did my research and knew everything I needed to do. One thing keeps preventing me from flashing it to my phone. I put the phone successfully in flash mode, green light, its recognized in flashtool, excellent, then after a short period of time my phone just reboots, shows the sony logo and is charging normally. I think my computer just keeps not recognizing the phone again and again but as far as I know all the drivers are installed.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Ok then looks like usb debugging is turned off goto developer options and turn it on and try flashtool again also make sure to allow mock locations in that same menu
hope this helps

Huh it says in developer options that usb debugging is on. I turned on mock locations and will try again. It could be the problem is with my computer or Windows 8 not flash tool or my phone

Before connecting the phone, you must prepare the ftf file. Drag and drop it into the open window of flashtool and only connect the phone when promoted to

I'm nervous about doing that because one time I did it and I just assumed there was a time out, so I quickly went into flash mode and started to flash the ftf file. It said preparing then a second into actually flashing it disconnected. I thought I had bricked my phone but it booted fine.

Well, thats the way to do it. You must let flashtool prepare the files and only attach the phone when it prompts you to do so.
Tell me what happens when you do it. I cant help you if I dont know if it disconnects whilst actually flashing. Please copy and paste the log from flashtool

Actually one thing I just noticed that my phone is doing which as far as I know has never happened before yesterday is when I hit turn off the phone turns off then reboots normally when it should just stay off. Might this be some contributing culprite. I cant try to flash it right now but i will when i can. Thanks for the help
Edit: Also just noticed that windows drivers is having trouble downloading S1 boot drivers. I dont know if this is relevant

No need to say thanks, just hit someones thanks button if you want to say thanks.
That is a seperate issue from 303 or 195 FW, I beleive it is gone on 223 and 498 FW
But what you can try is to press volume up and power button to hard reset the phone. Do it untill it vibrates once AND THEN KEEP PRESSING UNTILL IT VIBRATES 3 MORE TIMES. Then try connecting in flashmode

I should have asked this but is there actually a time out for the flash mode?

Power and volume up together until you get three vibrations. There is no time out for flash mode

Could the problem be driver related? When im in flash mode my computer starts to look for S1 boot but doesnt have enough time for it to download the necessary driver. If so can i get this driver from somewhere else?

[SOLVED][Q] Xperia T Semi or hard brick?

Hi, I've been following XDA for some time and successfully rooted my older phones since the X10. I ran into trouble with my Xperia T though after attempting to upgrade it to 9.1.A.195. Something went awry after following (as closely as I thought I had done) the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43953283
The outcome of it was that my phone is now completely unresponsive, I found another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243299&page=2 which shows how to possibly recover a brick, but I'm wondering if any of you knowledgeable types can offer me any words of wisdom?
The Xperia T was just showing the initial "Sony" boot label and going no further, I left it on that screen alone to run out overnight as per the second thread, at the moment I'm guessing it's not quite run out as if I try to turn it on, I don't get anything on the screen, but the red LED flashes a few times. If I connect it to a charger now it goes back to turning on and only displaying the "Sony" boot label.
Is this Xperia a dead duck or can I fix it??
Hard reset it and repair using pccompanion if you have a locked bootloader.
If you have unlocked the bootloader then hard reset it and flash a stock ftf, wipe everything and exclude nothing

Hi, I think it's dead I've been trying to PC Companion repair it, but it keeps disconnecting from PC Companion, I'm going to leave it to charge fully then try again. PC Companion was able to resume the download portion each time it disconnected, but now it's got to the update part it needs to start from scratch, but it looks to disconnect/reboot or something each time which interrupts the update process.
What I did, from memory, was to CWM flash .195 and kernel, on reboot it just came up with the "Sony" badge and went no further. I can't get back into CWM. I can't use flashmode in flashtool either as I can't connect the phone using the up or down volume. The only thing that seems to be working is the soft and hard reboot as I can feel the 1 or 3 vibrate happening. Once I reconnect now using PCC it connects for a short while then disconnects, nothing visible on the screen.

when you say you flashed .195, my firmware is .145, .195 is an ICS firmware, so if you've cross flashed then this is what is causing the problem. If you can get to the sony screen there should be a way to fix it!
Are you sure you can't enter flashmode? try again. turn the phone off, open flashtool, put the cable into the PC, not your phone, then hold the down button and don't let go, then connect the cable whilst still holding the down button.
EDIT: to confirm you do have the Xperia T, LT30p?
not LT30a and the TX?

Ooops, typo, I was flashing to 9.1.A.1.145 from locked and rooted ICS.
When the LT30p gets enough battery it turns on, takes about 1 second to show the "Sony" label (after that is normally the "Xperia" label then the swooshing colours before the Android OS). I've left it on charge for the moment, it's showing a red LED.

I left it on overnight, Sony was displayed until I guess it ran out of battery. I haven't re-tried flashtool yet, charging it back up again.
Infact, I'm not sure if it got a partial update on PCC, but it doesn't look to be turning on now, not sure why. If I press the on button the red LED flashes, if I try to reset I just get the red LED flashing again.
If I connect it to flashtool, Sony is displayed, I get the following on flashtool:

you're getting into flashtool, you'll be fine.
that's fine, when it does that, just take the phone out and connect again.
mine does this so it's normal.
Try, putting the FTF in first, then click ok or whatever to flash, then it'll say connect the phone, so connect the phone
You need usb debugging on.
So you will have to repair with pcccompanion before flashing with flashtool

Holy **** sticks! I don't know how many times I tried doing the same thing over and over and over, but PCC ended up getting it's hooks in after the n'th attempt and I now have stock 9.1.A.1.145 installed! Looks like the official Sony PCC upgrade is Polish which is a bit weird, but I've got it into English anyway.
Am I chuffed?? Too bloody right I am!!

[Q] lost usb charging on mtp connection

could I have lost this after a failed attempt at getting into flashmode? And how to get it back? PCC or flashtool doesn't see the phone. USB charge works in MSC mode but still PCC and flashtool cannot see the phone. I've hit the little red button but no change. So I can't see away of flashing or updating via PCC until this is resolved.

Try going into flashmode this way.
Hold volume down button, attach usb cable, keep volume down button pressed and then press and hold the power button until something happens (LED blink or vibrate) then let go of all buttons.
I had to do that on my Xperia T because getting into flashmode the normal way didn't work

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't appear to make any difference but something I realised is that I might have been holding the volume - fir too long. Also the green LED indicating flashmode doesn't stay on just flashes briefly. Still I was able to get PCC to see the flashmode and 'repair' it but it has made no difference. In USB mode MTP the battery is not charging hen connected to a PC and is when connected in MSC mode. I realise it is not hugely important but it would be nice to have it working the way it as two days ago PCC doesn't recognise the phone nor Media Go; maybe it is pc driver issue though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the pcc software.
Install flashtool and run the drivers.exe from the driver folder in the instalation folder of flashtool. Choose flashmode and fastboot drivers

[Q] Flash mode won't work

Hi!
My C903 cannot access flash mode. The led is flashing red and green like a second, then dissappear. Then I have to hold power+vol up to be able to start the phone. Everything else works great, fastboot and everything. I have flashed roms on this phone work flashtool before and it has worked great. I have DoomKernel and rooted stock. 290. Anyone know why the flash mode won't work. I have nandroid backup and unlocked bootloader, so I can try any suggestions.

Follow these steps....After clicking on “Flash” Button FlashTool will prepare file for flashing.Now enable USB Debugging on your phone and enable unknown sources option in your Xperia Z1 and switch it off. When prompted the notification of connecting your phone, connect it in flashmode.Press Volume down button and then insert usb in phone, you will see red and green light blink once, it means phone is connected in flashmode now.
As soon as phone is detected by FlashTool, flashing beings and wait till it is finished.......

Actually the only things that don't work is flash mode and that I can't charge phone while turned off. It boots into system and starts charging. Anything else works. When I try to flash with flashtool it says connect phone after preparing files to be flashed. The red/green led flashes, but no flash mode. Everything with the phone works, but not flash mode...

I don't know exactly why you want your phone in Flashmode but probably because you want flash something so if you don't mind wipe your phone try use PC Companion and repair the phone to stock, maybe is the custom rom making problems.

Is it getting red led when I try to charge it ? I don't understand what went wrong.
I had it for about 24 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "mobile".
Hard reset.

can anybody come with this solution........?
as I said in the other thread, turn on usb debugging
if you cant do anything and powering on or connecting your phone to computer or charging it just makes the red led blink, it means its hard bricked. you may need to use test point
but if you dont have baseband and your device runs, try to flash a new modem(i dont know if its available for z1 or not)
and as i see you were trying to flash a much old ftf ... after 4.3 , flashing older than them will make the modem not work.so if you can get in to flash mode try to flash a newer frameware

Open Flash Tools, select FTF and wait till it says connect your phone. Now hold down volume and plug in USB to PC
If continued, be happy
If not, unplug fully, and then again hold down volume, and then a bit plug in, like image in the link below
Sorry for bad explanation

Next time do not be so fast and lazy to read instructions provided by developer of the thing you have flashed. Being fast and thinking wrong and fast sometimes produce fatal thing to the your phone. I am sure you will be no lazy next time and I am sure you will be very careful in operations with your next phone
Whats happening when you press and hold for about 5 secconds power + volumeup button? If you see vibration than you are not in hard brick! If there is no vibration but your phone flashing red all time than its hard brick! If not hard brick you can enter into fastboot mode: disconnect usb cable, press and hold power+volume up until you see vibration, than hold volume up button and in same time connect usb cable. After than you must see blue led! If no blue led than probably try to replace usb drivers by installing sony pc companion, reboot computer after that! Allso make sure comuter device manager detect your phone propertly! After that try again all steps. If this not help and you have red light all time than probably your phone is dead! Hope this help.

[SOLVED] Z3 Compact Bricked after flashing a wrong firmware

Hi guys, I'm currently having problems with my z3c. All happened by accidentally flashing the wrong firmware. After all the wrong flashing now my phone won't turn on nor it will go to "flashmode" using the sidekey method. Only way to get in the phone is by doing "Fastboot" method! Is there anyway i can fix this brick by flashing a stock firmware using fastboot method?
Thanks!
Have you tried holding power, volume up and volume down all together then release all except volume down and connect to the PC (that is ready to flash with flashmode)? Which rom did you try to flash? Normaly you should also be able to enter flashmode.
How do you try to enter flashmode?:
"Power off the Xperia phone and then press and hold Volume Down button while creating the connection between the phone and the computer."
fastboot is only ment for AOSP roms like cyanogenmod other sonys opensource stuff which all require a unlocked bootloader.

Yeah man, i tried everything. Up down and power. I flashed the incorrect firmware for my Z3C, then after the reboot it didn't turn on. it's weird i can't even get into flashmode using the down key and power. Whenever i try the power button it gives 3 vibrates then doesn't turn on at all. Is it fully hard bricked or will i be able to fix this?
Wait, I solved the flashmode. I can access the flashmode now. But theres a problem, I can't flash a firmware using flashtools because my USB-debugging is off and i cannot access my phone to turn it on. Is there anyway i can flash a firmware without usb-debugging? I got all the working adb drivers & etc.... just my debugging is off
Have you tried downgrading/flashing to stock fw 23. 0.A.293 (Device D5803) and then you can root from there.

I can't flash anything, because of USB Debugging off, Flashtool will only allow you to flash if your Debugging is on, and i can't turn on my usb debugging as my phone is bricked.
I need help to find a way to flash the stock firmware!

OK my bad....its just, this tut doesnt say anything about needing usb debugging active on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 and when I got my Z3C I had to downgrade in order to root and definitely didnt active usb debugging for that.

Those are the steps i'm exactly doing, but it gives me an error saying "You must turn on USB Debugging" etc...
What version of flashtools did you use if it didn't ask you for debugging?

Cant remember if I have upgraded but my present verison is 0.9.18.5 dated 2015-02-14 which is around the time I got my phone....but can see in the tut they are using 0.9.10.2 if that helps.
And if you look at #5 in tut it says: INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
0.9.10.2beta6 I've installed that version, i hope it works but doubt it.
EDIT: omg dude this version is actually working, It's flashing without usb debugging Thanks

I'm having similar problems.
I'm trying to flash 23.4.A.0.546 lollipop but with latest flashboot version needs debugging on so I've downloaded and installed 0.9.10.2beta6 but when I try to flash the rom it says "please connect device in flashmode", If I disconnect the phone and then connect it again it will say "device disconnected" and then "device connected in flashmode" but nothing happens... Did you do anything in particular to bypass debugging mode needed problem?

It is possible your device is powered on but the screen is not working (I remember this from the Z1 root procees that required flashing a wrong firmware).
Try to force power down your phone first (press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds) without the usb cable and reenter flashmode by holding volume down while inserting the usb cable.

Did you install the drivers from flashtool ? For windows 8-10 you have to boot with disable driver verification or something similar. You can find a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rs-windows-t2638680/post50100353#post50100353
