Hi Guys,
I have recently bought a Xperia SP C5302 and am running the 12.0.a.1.211 firmware.
My problem is that recently Sony PC Companion informed me that there is a new
firmware version out 12.0.a.1.284 and suggested I update. My PC proceeded to download the update
and it asked me to switch off the phone and while pressing the volume down button,
plug in the USB cable. I did exactly that and no response. I tried everything again and still nothing.
I have gone to the official Sony site and checked and they claim that its the Volume Up button,
here is the link..........
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons ( I am not allowed links)
I may have gotten confused with the Fastboot and the Flash tool but however I have flashed a xperia phone before.
I flashed my old Neo V from gingerbread to ICS with no problems.
So my question is this: How do I install this update if my phone wont go to the Flash tool utility or whatever its called?
The volume up and down buttons do not work and I have tried to install Sony's other programs such as Update Service and
Update Engine.........all to no avail.
Some suggestions regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Can't really help with prob but can help to clarify the button pushing.
Button up=fast boot
Button down= flash mode
You can always use flash tools which you can Google for.
Then download any of the .257 or .284 builds put the file inside flash tools folder and then install this to phone while connected to PC in flash mode.

Thanks but what is the difference between the Fastboot and the Flash Mode?
Your suggestion is good except I cant enter either mode at all. I push the buttons and nothing happens.
I use the same program and the same PC but my girlfriends Xperia L handset and it jumps to both modes
fine. When I push the down button on her phone I see immediately on my PC that it has found new hardware
(SEMC Flash device) and when I push the volume up button I see the Blue LED notification light, which from my
research indicated that it has entered Fastboot mode.

Check to see that you have installed the drivers correctly for your phone, if you have the old flashtool then download and upgrade to the latest one and install all the drivers included with it, might work after that.

The difference between them is one is used for flashing stock roms to your phone this flash mode y pressing button down and keeping down while connecting cable to PC.
Fastboot mode is only available if your bootloader is unlocked this is used for sending kernels to your phone again this fine while holding the button up keeping pressed up while connecting Cale to PC.
As suggested forget using PCC or sus but use flash tools instead.

I have never played around with the Bootloader before nor with Custom Roms so I am unsure
to which flash tool you are referring to. is it the one found at the Sony Developers Website?
The one that has the Emma file or whatever embedded?
Also my PC which is running Win 7 Pro installs the drivers automatically for me and as long
as they are successfully installed I am also unsure as to how to make sure that they are the
right ones.
Assuming that I do use Flash tools, where do I get the patch build file or whatever to update the software?
Will this void the warranty?
Many Thanks!
Flashtools is a third party tool that was created by xda devs. It is really easy to use and set up.
It works in same way as Sony update service or PC companion but you are not restricted by what software you can install.
Follow this link to download on PC http://androxyde.github.io/
Install on PC, connect phone to PC while switched on It may prompt you to install drivers.
On this forum most Sony users use this rather than Sony's software.
You can find links to the .257 and .284 builds these are in a file format that flashtools use so no need to extract or rename.
Once installed open flashtools folder and you will see other folders this is where you put any of the roms stock, custom , kernels etc
The only way you will lose warranty is by opening bootloader using flashtools to install software will not lose warranty.
When you are ready to use flashtools power down device and hold volume button down for flash or vol up for fast boot then connect came to PC....
As regards drivers on PC not working I am sure what to say it why you can't buy flashtools does come with drivers for Sp so would say download, install then try connecting phone.
If this don't work I can't help anymore sorry.

Tried everything above but phone still refuses to enter flash mode. Even after installing flash tools and flash mode drivers. Has anyone else encountered this before? A phone that doesn't enter flash mode? Starting to think it's manufacturers defect. I plug in the phone while holding volume down key and no response at all. Volume up same result. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Hold The power and volume button up or down Together Don't plug it to the. Then check if bottom led lights blink or not. It should Blink with a specific color depending on which button u hold volume up or down and let me know asap.

Updating using Sony Pc companion doesn't ask for pushing buttons. It's all automated...
Στάλθηκε από το GT-I9100 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2
You are wrong about that. It asks you at some point to unplug your phone switch it off and enter flash mode.
Anyways sent my phone back to Sony and they replaced the board. They don't seem to know what's wrong either. They couldn't get it to enter flash mode either.

I know this is a late reply but as I said before in a previous post, I sent the phone to a Sony Repair Center and they ended
up replacing the motherboard for me as something was wrong with it. If nothing you do seems to work then it might just
be a hardware problem and needs to be checked out.
I have sold my SP and bought a Galaxy S3 and had the same issue trying to install custom ROM. Couldnt flash anything at all and
problem was hardware related as well. eMMC chip was faulty and had to replace the eMMC chip and the motherboard.
Good Luck with yours! Hope it was fixed!

For my knowledge, this operation via PC COMPANION, can repair what kind of brick? Bad flashing or something like that which stop flashmode run?
My sony xperia z will not power on anymore. If i connect it to a charger, it shows the sony logo and keeps restarting. When i connect it to my computer not much happens. SUS can detect it and i tried updating it, it downloads and installs and tells me to restart my phone but still nothing happens and the same thing as before happens when i connect it with a charger.Sony PC Companion app does not detect the phone.
So i tried flashing with xperia flasher and i downloaded a 4.3 stock rom, flashed it but then at the end it says usb debugging mode must be enabled but i do not think its enabled, nor can i check since my phone does not power on.
Please Help!!!

sorry meant FlashTool. i did flash and it completed it successfully but when i tried powering on, nothing happend. so i connected to charger and the sony logo loop restart happen again. it said at the end of flashing that usb debugging must be enabled so i think that may be the problem why it did not work.
I have tried hard reset. It vibrates once, pauses and then vibrates 3 times and then nothing.

I know, but I wasn't sure if you tried it with the repair method. If you just plug your phone in to the pc, it won't recognize it. But when you use the repair method, pcc tells you to power off the phone, and bring it into flashmode

Is it cause i need at least 50% battery? If so, is there any way of doing so? because if i connect to wall charger it does the sony logo restart loop and when i connect to pc it goes in mtp mode.

I don't think it's because of your battery level..... I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that....
I think you have to send it to sony for repair. As long as you haven't modified anything on your phone they should repair it
Edit: Before you send it to sony, try their chat, sometimes they can help

Reinstall flashtool and the drivers and try it again.
Just for your information: SUS and PCC method won't work because the unlocked bootloader. You can just use EMMA and flashtool to repair your XZ now.

You were replying to a post that concerned Flashtool failing to flash, so by logic I assumed that your question concerned that only.
Anyway, no need for the sarcasm with the rolleyes emoji. There was no malice in my post. I was simply passing on information that you may find useful in future.

If there is no response then stick it on charge for 24 hours, do not touch it then try flashing a stock FTF again
Greg is trying to help you mate.
And he's right, there's a time difference and you have to wait for guys to see your thread...
Check do you have latest flashtool
Check do you have correct drivers
Check is your ftf corrupted (download a new one)
, hard restart your device (vol up+power).
Open flashtool and hit start, wait till flashtool prepares fw and ask you to connect device.
Then connect device.
If that won't work, try to download another ftf file...
Maybe you have corrupted ftf and that's causing a problem...

Uff...
Are you sure you restored right/yours TS backup?
I have a friend who restored Z1 TA backup to Z2, this things happen so who knows...
It's really odd if you restored your backup on stock fw and something like that happened..
Now I realized you wrote "I had flashtool problems..."
I thought you have problems in flashtool now, that's why I said try with another ftf or another flashtool version...
If you got that, and you did, while you were flashing ftf....I believe you are, unfortunately, right, this is hard brick.
BTW - which firmware you tried to flash?

Uff...
Are you sure you restored right/yours TS backup?
I have a friend who restored Z1 TA backup to Z2, this things happen so who knows...
It's really odd if you restored your backup on stock fw and something like that happened..
Now I realized you wrote "I had flashtool problems..."
I thought you have problems in flashtool now, that's why I said try with another ftf or another flashtool version...

you need to be on a stock kernel if you relock the bootloader.
You should have flashed a stock FTF immediately after relocking and before restarting.
The solution is to flash a stock FTF
and you have not done this yet

What is emergency mode?
If there is no response then stick it on charge for 24 hours, do not touch it then try flashing a stock FTF again

coming back to this thread. Wondered if all was well - ended well or still stuck ?
I tried to install magisk using bridge approach
and ended up with something that will get to just bluelight ( flashboot ?) mode . I am downloading a stock T-Mob FTF. J-FYI this is an operator locked boot loader. I dunno - is it poss to permanently unlock it and install Cust ROM ? I want to :
-- Recover my data from the dead prev . install
--Have a ROM ( stock or custom ) with Magisk installed.
My plan :
-- Flashtool install 4.4 FTF
-- _______________ <----- Need help here. How do I get magisk working ?
Note that AFAIK for locked bootloader , /system is RO
