[Q] lost usb charging on mtp connection - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Thanks, tried this and it didn't make any difference. I have same software installed at work and all works no problem so the setup on my home laptop is obviously not quite right so will do a complete wipe as best I can of software and try again.

[Q] Flash Mode Reboots while connected

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?

[Q] Xperia T will not go past Sony logo

Hi, I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again and i get a constant red led while the Sony logo appears. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing I'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto software info/configuaration. If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, then you CANNOT unlock it via ANY means
2) If it says yes (I doubt it, because flashtool has already checked this) then you can.
3) Flashmode has nothing to do with bootloader. Press volume up to get into fastboot (Blue LED) for working with bootloader, press volume down (Green LED) to work in flashmode, which is for flashing FTF's.
4) If you are trying to flash a FTF, then do not connect the phone until it asks
5)Make sure you have gone to C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.exe. Ensure you choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
6) Make sure you are on the latest version of flashtool 0.9.13.1
Can I ask what you are actually trying to do?
Also flashmode and fastboot and adb dont work on windows 8(.1)

Its not even booting, past the Sony logo so i cannot do anything (i can't do step 1 as you've asked). Its literally a bootloop. Can you give me step-by-step instructions to get out of this bootloop? I tried to install custom ROM but it died on me, and now its on the bootloop, which i can't get passed.

Oh okay. I'm using windows 8.1, so what would I do to fix the issue?
I have given my phone to the manufacturers to try and sort out but I have a feeling they will refuse to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. If i use a windows 7 machine, would it work? If so, how do I fix it such that it exits bootloop and allows me to access my phone. I don't mind losing all my data (although i think its lost anyway lol)
P.S. thanks for the reply.

I'm sure your batt is dead. Try the rubber band method. Give it like 2/3 rounds of it on the power button and hold it and plug in charger. it should charge with red led on. Pull battery and try again if it does not charge. Give it some charging and it should be able to enter flashmode to flash stock.

I don't think the battery is dead, as the led would just blink and wouldn't even show me the Sony logo.. Everytime i use the phone with the charger it goes into the bootloop, looping around the Sony logo and then switching off again, then the sony logo will show again, etc. I've sent it off to Sony manufaturers. Would they fix it (even if the manufacturers warranty is void)? Like, even if they charge a little (hopefully not stupid amounts of money lol)? If not, i'm going to try and use flashtool on windows 7 machine and hope that it works, as I've heard flashmode and fastboot and adb do not work on windows 8(.1), which is what im currently using :crying:

Yes (or, at least its definitely one of the reasons). Use Win 8 or Win 7 or Win XP.
If after that point you still have trouble with it sticking to flashmode: I also had trouble flashing via flashmode with one of my USB ports. I like to use the front ones on my PC but they don't work for every device. There is also a USB cable that I have that does not work for flashmode. Consider these 2 things

It's just a soft brick. What did you wanted to flash? Just flash a stock .ftf file with flashtool, or a kernel with recovery.

Well, first of all I want the phone to start up normally again so that I can use it.
What I did achieve up till now is that I can get it connected to flashtool in Fastboot mode.
I guess this gives me the opportunity to flash a boot.img first so that I can install 4.4 or 4.3 later.
But first things first.
Do you think flashing a boot.img could restore the phone in a state that it functions as a normal phone again?

My xperia t has gone in for repair. Before considering this though, could you try one thing to see if it'll help restore phone? Go to your PC companion (and no, its not a standard recovery which i'm going to suggest so keep reading!). Once you have done this, click on "Support zone". Click "Start" on the "Phone/tablet software update" option. Note, you do not need to plug in your device yet!. You should get an error message coming up saying device not connected. And once you get this, there should be a message asking you whether you are having "severe problems with your phone/tablet". There's a "repair my phone/tablet" hyperlink. I want you to click that and NOT the connect button. Once you have clicked that, please follow the on screen instructions. Tell me if this works for you I hope it does!

Why?
Because SONY decided that I have made changes to my phone and SONY now refuses to repair my device.

Ah that sucks! Are you not on windows 8? I've heard that windows 8 and flashtools don't get along, but if you're saying you've got your device into fastboot you should be able to flash it using flashtools!
Sony Xperia T LT30p dead resolved
OK, here it is for those interested on how to revive a dead Xperia device.
Yesterday my phone stalled at the SONY logo.
Nothing could be done anymore.
My phone has returned into normal state thanks to SonyXperiakiasT :good:
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315572
Howto get into a state that one can flash the phone.
- download: LT30P_9.1.A.1.141_PL.ftf (the original firmware)
- install and activate flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe
- at the SONY logo push on/off, vol-up and vol-down together
- when the phone vibrates an the logo disappears release all buttons and immediately after push on/off and vol-up button
- when phone vibrates release on/off button, keep pushing vol-up button and plug in USB cable from computer
- you will be in a state with a blue light at the top left of your phone.
- however you want to get in a state with a green led
- push vol-down and on/off
- unplug the USB
- wait for the phone to vibrate
- release the on/off button and plug in the USB
- Follow the instructions in the thread mentioned above and your phone will be revived.
All the pushing, releasing, plugging and unplugging is a quite delicate affair.
I tried it during several hours before I got a bit of grip on it and still I am not shure how I got into the green led state.
Try it, be patient and be shure that repair is within reach as soon as you have a green LED on your phone.
Good luck!

Hey so I ran into this same problem! my phone wouldn't do anything except boot up to the Sony screen, no lights no charging nothing
I figured it out, at least for me
>Have your flash ready to go via Flashtool
>Have your phone plugged into your computer via USB
>Hold the volume down button and then while holding it turn it on
you should have your green light and may have to hold the volume button the whole time until its done flashing.
Hope this works
FIX!
Hey the same thing happened to my xp T few days ago. My phone was rooted with UB. I was stuck on SONY LOGO too n my phone was rebooting from there repeatedly but I was managed to get into cwm n I installeddifferent kernels + Rome but it was no good. Like u said in your OP I couldn't get into flashmood too. When I select the firmware flashtools say preparing files then the phone reboots! Then flashtools say device disconnected!! The solution for this is when flashtools says device disconnected pull the usb cable n press vol up with power button n turn off phone. Then once turned off straight away press vol down n plug in usb cable n flashtools will start flashing. The important thing here is not to close the window that pops up when flashtool say device disconnected in red. Hope this helps, same prob worked for me so should work for you! Peace

[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.

You turn off your phone then when it is off you keep pushing volume down, connect to PC and the PC do not recognize the phone?

Win 7. It worked earlier. I have not changed anything, at least not in Windows. I guess it's the phone.

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.......
Where is ur fon getting error in above procedure?????

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.

Hardd Bricked Xperia Z1 Honami

I INstalled a custom rom with Unlocked bootloader and after it was finished it just stuck in black screen... nothing happens the only thing happens is when i press power button and volume up vibrates and then nothing... no led's no charging nothing... please help
Is it detected with Flashtool?
@lexykon : i think since ur device responds, its not a total hardbrick. Flashing an FTF using flashtool should help

no it says no device connected
You have to push Hard reset button (red button just near the SIM card) until phone vibrates 3 times. Then you push volume down button and then connect PC microUSB cable into the correct connector on your Z1.
Flashtool should see your phone. Then you can flash with flashtool back to your previous (stock ?) ROM.

Strange. Did you connect the usb cable to your phone AND maintain volume down button?
Because USB debugging OFF is only when your phone has started Android. When in Flashmode Android is not started.
So after pushing red hard power off button and phone vibrates 3times (it's important it vibrates 3 times) :
- close and restart Flashtool on your computer,
- choose Flash button (strike icon), choose the FTF of the stock firmware then validate and then check 'Flashmode' then OK, it will work few seconds and bring you a new screen explaining you how to get into flash mode with a phone and cable in a Window,
- take your USB cable in left hand,
- push down volume button with your right hand
- connect your cable in micro USB port AND maintain volume down for a few seconds
I decomposed the steps because it is important not to wait too long when connecting cable onto your device and launching Flashtool (that's why I prefer to launch it before, as described above), because if the phone detects current in its usb port, it starts system. It is important to be ready and having Flashtool launched BEFORE plugging the cable.
Send the results.

That's quite wierd. The fact that phone's LED becomes red is a good sign, i.e. going to flashmode.
IS it Flashtool saying the phone is in USB debugging ? If not, you can then flash after the LED ran red with flashtool.
Flashtool may say it's USB debugging OFF if Android is booted.
If in flashmode, Flashtool should say :
03/043/2015 15:43:18 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
And then you can flash...

Thats my flashtool ;/
Have you tried fastboot? Volume up while plugging cable.
Perhaps you can flash a boot.img from there and use recovery at least.
This is what happens to my phone when the kernel fails to flash, usually after restoring a nandroid.

Ok you shouldn't have that in your flashtool log.
Without the phone connected to the PC, you should have the following message, especially "Please connect your device into flashmode" :
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903). FW release : 14.4.A.0.108. Customization : Generic FR 1276-5833_R5C
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
03/050/2015 16:50:49 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
From my point of view, it doesn't seem your phone is powered off.
Then to Power Off hard press the red button near sim card, just above the chrome power button until phone vibrates 3 times :
(extract from the "basics" thread of the following post by the excellent DooMLoRD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440565).
Then do the steps I gave you before.

Ok dude. Sorry but I can't help you anymore. Maybe advanced developpers could. My knowledge on flashing Z1 is 2 days old only
FYI, my LED is blinking 1 time red and 1 time green very quickly when I power on my Z1 in flashmode. Nothing on screen, but Flashtool detects my device in Flashmode.
Maybe, as proposed by markuz85, you should try Fastboot mode (volume up instead of volume down)... but I never tried this and I won't be helpful on that.
Good luck and tell us if you have got something.

I went to Sony and played stupid... so they will replace it with my warranty thanks btw guys really appreaciate your help
When I look at your screenshot I think "have you pressed the left button at the flashtool before you connect the device?" only after that you can select the flashmode at this tool.

Are you sure that your battery is charged?
Try this: press and hold power and volume up button for 10 seconds and see does the phone vibrate.If vibrate flash again via flashtool.,he should works.

Battery was fully charged and I've tried that but phone does not response at all to flashtool. When plug in to PC, in device manager under USB controllers, it sees it as SOMC Flash Drive. I think the phone boot is dead.

Thanks for your help...The phone was flashed successfully with flash tool with flash file E6553_28.0.A.4.8. After flash done, phone was dead, cannot power on anymore. Now when I tried to flash it again, volume down, insert USB the flashtool show as: Device detected with USB debugging off. It doesn't go to flash mode anymore. I took the back cover off, remove battery connector flex cable and connect it back and try flashing many times but flashtool will not detect phone in flash mode..PC can detect phone because it makes connecting sound on PC but detects as what mode I don't know. In device manager, it doesn't show any device in com port but it shows SOMC Flash Device in USB controllers. I tried to press volume up + power but nothing happened. Once again thanks for your help.

As I understood, you tried to downgrade. Am I right? I heard that sometimes downgrading causes hard brick. I don't know how to fix it but only option is bringing service.
