Guys, has anyone faced following problem-
The Sony pc companion recognizes my phone just fine and even tells me that I have new build to install. I was able to download but it get stuck on step 2 where on screen it asks me to put phone in a download mode by shutting it off, plugging in sub while holding volume down button.
I have followed all these steps properly and even confirmed with tech support but the pc companion just stays there and no install is initiated.
I have been researching in the forums but no luck so far.
Details-
Xperia Z C6602
Current build - 10.1.A.1.350
Update build from pc companion - 10.1.A.1.434.

Disable Anti-Virus
**Disable Firewall**
Restart PC
>> and try with Update Service Tool
I tried the same steps on another laptop I have after disabling the anti virus no luck. I tried with update service tool as well, same result.
Steps done-
1. Launch pc companion/update service
2. Allow above apps to download the .434 as steps on their wizard.
3. App takes me to step two.
4. Disconnect usb cable from phone and pc.
5. Shutodown phone, wait 30+ secs
6. Plug in the usb into laptop
7. Plug in usb into phone and press volume down while doing it.
8. I notice the indicator blinks red and green but then nothing.
Also, I can't get OTA upgrade as the new build doesn't get listed on my phone's update center
This is my brand new Xperia Z.
Are there any other flash tools I can use? If yes, where can I download the ..434 stock ROM
The same thing happens to me...ive tried everyyything

Hold volume up+ power for 15 seconds till you have 3 vibrations,this is like removing the battery and putting it back.
And try again.

Hi guys, got a slight problem with entering fastboot mode. I hold the volume-up key and connect me USB cable but rather than getting the noise verifying it's been connected ok, I get that dull sound it makes when it hasn't worked. It won't even let me install the drivers and in device manager it comes up as "S1boot Fastboot" for a few seconds before then going into battery charging mode. I downloaded the Android SDK latest and replaced the USB driver INF file with the one sony give you but it didn't work so reversed back to the other driver the SDK manager installs and that didn't work either.
I've been through the tutorials and even tried to update the driver in device manager in the few seconds it stays there but that didn't work either! USB debugging is enabled too!
Please help, I'm not a noob and have done fastboot booting before and yes for those who may ask have already checked to make sure the bootloader can be unlocked and yes it can also the phone is NOT branded and is unlocked to all networks.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
Dave.
Are you on Windows 8? Using USB 3.0?
"As your flesh bears the sigil....your name is that....of a recusant."
First be sure you're using a 2.0 usb port, if this is ok maybe it's a windows 8 driver problem, so you should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170114. It works for me
For also fastboot and flashmode come for 5 Sec. So Make sure you prepare the file and attach the device to fastboot or flashmode when it is asked.
Still problems
I'm still working on a 2012 laptop with Windows 7 Premium installed. It's fully up to date and all the drivers are installed properly I just don't get it, I've tried everything and it's still making the noise as if it won't connect. I don't know what to do to be honest. Also yes it is USB 2.0.

Hmm...how many USB ports are being used when you're flashing the phone?

I have a similar problem. the power light lights up blue then passes into the phone starts loading mode
Sorry for bad English
The updated version (09.14) don't work properly. It doesn't enable me to go to Flashmode. Uninstalled and used the previous version and it worked as it should, no issues entering Flashmode.
i might have actually found the solution. im on the 4.3fw build version 12.1.a.1.201... in my case, my pc will automatically install the drivers for mass storage giving me no chance to update the driver to the one from sony.
you need to do step 9. and 10. if you havent done so from http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
what i did was allow developer settings and allow debugging via usb.
plug in and attempt to go in to fastboot and obviously it'll fail.
go to device manager. (control panel->hardware and sound->device manager) quickly scroll down go to other devices. you will see s1fastboot (or something like that) if you're quick enough, if not, in my case, the phone will go in to charging mode.
what i did was to disable xperia sp mass storage from disk drives category too.
right click on it and select update driver software and you will select the file you've unzipped (following step 9 and 10 sony's instructions).
after it has finished updating, unplug your usb and attempt to enter fastboot, it should work.
PS: im no expert, this solution might be out there somewhere already or it could just be a great coincidence. some of these steps might not be useful even.
Had this problem and found a funny solution: I switched my cable and the port I was using. Both Ubuntu and Windoze 7 failed on both fastboot and flash mode, even though in both the phone would charge. I grabbed a spare micro USB cable and plugged it into the front of the PC; voila. Now the phone is rooted and running the latest CM.
Need a final solution for this problem
I don't know what to do!!! The problem is this, very similar to the others mentioned above,: When i conect my xperia sp to fastboot mode, pressing volume up while plugging in usb cable, the phone led turns to blue for few seconds and than it just turns to red showing on the screen the battery image( normal charging mode)...... I' m using windows xp and a rooted xperia sp whit cm11 (for locked bootloader obviously). Just two last things:
the phone can be unlocked( I checked it) and fastboot worked the same as now with stock xperia sp firmware.
Please i need a final and a certain solution for this problem!!!
i'll be very thankful to anyone who give me a hand!!!!

Are you trying to unlock your phone?
Have you installed device specific/fastboot/flashmode drivers via FlashTool? If you are on Windows 8/8.1, you need to disable driver verification to get it done.
Alternatively if you just wanna unlock your bootloader, you can use the BLU option in FlashTool. Again all drivers will need to be properly installed for your phone to be detected correctly.
You say you had the same problem with stock firmware which means you probably haven't setup adb/fastboot properly on your PC. Does your phone get detected correctly in Device Manager? Have you tried installing drivers via Device Manager?
....
So the solution is installing flashtool and installato drivers via Emma?? Thanks forma the attention!!

I meant install drivers via FlashTool. Go to C:\Flashtool\drivers or wherever you have installed Flashtool and run the Flashtool-drivers.exe.
Select flashmode drivers, fastboot drivers and common drivers viskan board (SP drivers) and install them. Like I said if you are on Win 8/8.1, you will have to disable driver signature enforcement. Just look it up in YouTube and follow a tutorial.
SO I have been looking at what could be the problem. I am doing what I should and that is:
Turn off, hold down volume- + connect usb. It flashes green for 1 sec and nothing else. After 15 sec the mobile boots back to normal again not giving me time to do anything.
I have tried in windows 8 and windows xp 32bit vmware and same.
I am thinking it could be something when I flashed it earlier. I did and rooting flash etc before and then reverted back to normal firmware again
I believe it is not drivers anymore, feels like something is missing in the phone in some way? That it is skipping flash mode in some way?
Just wait until flashtool asks you to attach your device. Then and only then attach your phone in flashmode.
It's probably some kind of safeguard from Sony so that people don't get stuck in flashmode

Hm, I am at work so cannot check. But I think I am doing like this:
1. Mobile is on, plugged in with usb debug
2. Start flashtool and click flash button
3. Choose flashmode
4. pop up tells me to turn off phone
5. I unplug USB, turn off phone, hold down volume- and then insert USB
6. It flashes green for 1 sec and then nothing more. Flashtool does not react and after 15 seconds the mobile boots up like normal with sony logo and just boots into os normally
Plug in to pc after files are prepared. Not before

I fixed the error now
The problem is I am using windows 8 + vmware windows xp. I use xp for the flashing part. The problem is that when I plug in the xperia z windows 8 "takes over" the usb first, so xp does not get the first choice.
To solve this I disable the xperia z in windows 8, after this flashing in flashtool in xp works perfectly
It was just a matter of how windows 8 and xp talked to eachother

could this work ? if yes can anyone Help ? i am waiting 2 months for a response
Not sure what your saying but my Xperia t wouldn't go into flash mode. But I manged it by opening flash tool to the part where it says turn off your phone plug in cable while holding down or up, can't remember which. Then opening pc companion and do a restore. When pc companion automatically puts the phone into flash mode it will crash and close the page on pc companion, not sure why but I think maybe because flash tools trying to connect at the same time. When it closes the page flash tool will connect and work. After writing this I couldn't remember if it was seus or pc companion. Hope this helps

Please my xperia z is bricked and i havnt used for over a week now,
i installed pc companion on my pc, it detected an update for my phone, i accepted the update, my phone powered down to install the update, and it got stuck there, refused coming back on, i have tried contacting sony customer service, they gave me some procedures which i have followed to the letter, i have used the pc companion to repair but it tells me there is no update for my phone or sometimes it would tell me update engine could not update your device (error 100), i have also tried using flashtool as well and it gave error, my phone is down and if i power it on it tells me update failed, make sure the phone is connected to a computer and try again,
