The Gordons Gate Driver is included in a folder below the Flashtool Folder. Open the ...driver.exe, install "only" the "GordonsGate" Driver or Flashmode Driver
Afterwards start to identify your phone by S1tool.
THat was my way and it works.

I have tried and with no luck. Can you tell me the right way or link me to a thread to do this. my phone isnt reconized by pc companion

can you send me the link to the ftf that you flashed?

i can send you the file if you want.

just the link to the file so I know which one it is

Try this one. It's the ftf for the xperia tl. the one you linked is for the t (although I'm not fully sure that it would matter). Also make sure you charge your phone for an hour or two to make sure it has enough power to finish the flashing process

how do i get flashtools to reconize my phone when i plug it in the only thing my computer does is pop up a new window that say i need to install the qhsusb_dload.

Make sure the phone isn't plugged in to the PC yet.
In the Development forum, there is an updated version of Flashtool (v0.9.11.0). Are you using that? If not, maybe uninstall your old one and use this one.
After you install Flashtool (I recommend installing it to a simple path like C:\temp\Flashtool), navigate to the folder where it is installed. There is a folder in there called Drivers. Run the EXE file in there. It will offer to install a driver for your phone, and also 2 other drivers you will need (Flashmode driver and Fastboot driver). Check all 3 of those and do the install. Once those drivers are installed, Flashtool should be able to recognize your phone when it is in Flashmode.
*Note that if you're running Windows 8, it may get *****y and tell you that the drivers were not installed (and it won't say specifically why). The reason, I believe is because the drivers are "unverified" or "unsigned".
To turn this Win8 feature off, go to the bottom-right corner of your screen to get that stupid bar to appear. Click Settings. Then at the very bottom, choose "Change PC Settings". Then go to General. Then scroll it down to the bottom (Advanced start-up). This will require a restart to show you the options. Do that and you will see "Troubleshoot". Click it. Then "Advanced Options". Then "start-up settings". Then hit the Restart button (again... I know.) When you see the Startup Settings screen, you'll see option 7 is to disable the driver signature enforcement. Hit F7 to do it. Then it will boot into Win8. Then you can run the Flashtool Drivers install to install your 3 drivers (xperia model+the flashmode+ the fastboot driver). You will notice that it will ask you a few times if you're sure you want to install the unsigned drivers. Say yes to all. Once it's all done, you can restart the machine and carry on with your flashtool flashing.

how do i get my phone into flashmode? i have a Sony Xperia TL (LT30at) and it does nothing when i push buttons.

this is Lt30p!!It's for XPERIA T no TL You Sould flashed Lt30a Roms
plug your phone to Charger for 4/5 Hour then flash an Lt30a Rom
this may work

Here's an example of an FTF that is Xperia TL specific: (LT30at_9.1.F.1.120_ATT.zip). Found it via google. It is available at: http://d-h.st/TlU
To clarify the models mentioned, here is what I have been able to gather quickly (Please correct me if anything below is wrong or missing):
LT30at = the Xperia TL (which is the Xperia T, branded as AT&T, I believe)
LT30a = the Xperia T (the Canadian version T? This is my phone. I have flashed many LT30p FTF's on it successfully using the standard Flashtool procedure.)
LT30p = the Xperia T (for the rest of US carriers? and rest of the world?)

Thanks a lot, mate!! :highfive: this is the prob i was experiencing fr a long time. Now I know why :victory:

could you please create a FTF of the 284 with chargemon files?
I don't have access to windows and hence cannot install PC companion.
Edit----
Made the FTF myself.
Thanks for the tip though!!

After installing the FTF from XDA i updated the phone from PC and it updated successfully. But still the phone keeps turning on when charging in OFF mode. Is there a file that can be replaced manually????

No Problem with the FTF I created. I can upload it once I reach home. Its on my laptop.
@dhiman33 are you using a 32 bits pc? I saw the same problem when I used a 32 bits pc but no problem on my 64 bits work computer or on my 64 bits Ubuntu laptop. Also if you have unlocked Bootloader, the PCC won't be able to flash the rom but the files will be downloaded and you can use Flashtool to create a FTF for yourself.
Flashtool works so much better on my Ubuntu system. Its easy, no need of finding or installing drivers.. lol!!

[Q] ADB is not working for Sony Xperia Z (6602)

I bought a Sony Xperia Z. Earlier I was using Sony Xperia Ray for development and it was working fine. But with Xperia Z, I am struggling to detect the device using adb.
I found several links to make it fix but no luck. ( Sorry I still do not have permission to post those links.)
My OS is Windows Vista 32 bit home edition.
I installed PC companion and it is able to connect with the phone. But once I enable USB debugging mode, Windows shows "Found new hardware" dialog. When "Locate and install driver software" is selected it says software is successfully installed. But in the device manager it is shown under Other devices as 6602 with a exclamation.
It gives an empty list for "adb devices"
Is there anyone having a Xperia Z successfully connected with adb?

Isn't it supposed to be installed along with PC companion ?
Anyway I tried to find adb driver but could not find an exact match with c6602. There was one named as "Xperia_Z_driver" in developer sonymobile dot com. I am not clear how it should be installed. I tried updating the device in Device Manager and pointing to this location. But it gives the following error.
The folder you specified doesn't contain compatible software driver for your device. .....
Another thing is I still did not update Andriod SDK. It is the next item on my list. Does it matters ?

This driver pack contains ADB drivers for the Z. It helped when I had problems with drivers.

Thanks. I tried installing this but still no luck. Do I have to do anything other than installing this ? (Note that I have selected Xperia Z drivers check box while installing this.)

It's some time since I installed them, but I think the ADB drivers are a separate entry at the bottom of the list. I'm not at my PC, so can't check.

OK. I got it working on a Win 7 64 bit machine. So there should be nothing wrong with the phone. But still its not working with Vista 32 bit. Is it because there is no driver for 32 bit OS?

[SOLVED] Unbrick c5303 possible?

Hey Folks,
Yesterday I came accross a new firmware for my C5303 (Stock) Rom. Problem was, something went fishy on my computer and the upgrade process went south midways.
Probelm being: I have neither rooted, nor unlocked the bootloader.
Is there a way to unbrick? Unfortunatelly I have learned, that appart from other SONY devices, the SP is not so peachy when it comes to custom roms.
Current state:
The device is not recogniced by the flash tool of Sony, or the suite.
Could someone point fingers where to look for a solution?

You will have to flash an FTF file using "flashtool".
A search on this forum will surely point you in the right direction.
There are already plenty of guides.
Good luck!

I bricked mine yesterday at 11 pm,couldnt sleep right cause of the panic. xD
My C5303 has a LOCKED BOOTLOADER too,and I was stuck at the SONY logo.
I downloaded Flashtool.
I installed Flashtool.
This procedure is neccessary in order to install fastboot/flashmode/adb drivers.If you already did it,skip it.
If ur on windows 8,move ur mouse coursor to top right of the screen,a toolbar will appear.
Then click SETTINGS.Then click CHANGE PC SETTINGS.When it opens,select UPDATE & RECOVERY.Select RECOVERY.Select ADVANCED STARTUP.When it reboots,you will see a blue background and an option,i think it is TROUBLESHOOT,anyways,look for DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION.But as I remember,i was put with a choice of selecting a number,and i pressed 7-DISABLE DRIVER VERIFICATION.
The PC will boot like nothing is changed,but now u can install the drivers.
Go to Flashtool/drivers and open the installation program
Select "Flashmode drivers","fastboot drivers" and "common drivers for Viskan board(these are the ADB drivers ONLY for the Xperia SP)"
The PC will ask you to allow the driver installation,allow all of them.Reboot ur pc again,and connect ur phone in flashmode for the pc to link the flashmode drivers to ur Xperia SP,then u can begin.
Download this firmware FROM THIS LINK
http://www.xperiadownload.cz/phocadownload/userupload/download/2013/SP/C5303_12.1.A.1.205_CE.rar
extract the ftf file with any rar program,then move the .ftf file to the FIRMWARE folder in the directory where flashtool is installed,mine is C:/Flashtool.move the .ftf file into (DRIVE):/Flashtool/firmwares
Open Flashtool,select Flash with Flashmode,wait for the program to say that u can connect ur xperia sp with the PC.To enter Flashmode hold the Volume DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC.
I reccommend using the SONY cable,as i have a feeling it is the best one for these things.
Let Fashtool flash everything,do not touch the device at all until the Flashtool allows you to do so.

Thanks for all the answers so far...
I figured, taht in the flashtool the firmware for the device is not listet, although it is in the respektive directory. am I blind, or am I missing something?
It however does offer a X10 installation, what ever that is, when it is at home

Look for an FTF file on this forum.
Make sure you download and flash the correct one!
