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?

Fastboot with Xperia XP

Tried the Windows 8 zith USB 2, and also on XP machine where I was succesfully used it for a Xperia U.

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.
Hi there. I'm using Xperia SP for like 1 month now and I tried to unlock my bootloader. I'm using the Sony guide to unlock it (unfortunately I can't post a link (less then 10 posts :crying) . Anyway I've got one little problem while i'm trying to launch my Xperia in Fastboot mode.
The LED turns Blue for couple seconds, then it shuts down and the charging begins, like it's launching in fastboot mode and then turning off. I have Sony drivers installed from Sony PC Companion. I'm using Windows 8 x64. The system isn't asking for any drivers while i'm connecting the device to PC. Help me
Windows 8 x64 is a bad system for Flashtool to work with. I would suggest Windows XP....either through a VM or through dual-boot.
But if you have to use Windows 8 without a choice, please disable driver signature verification before you start Windows 8, so that you can install the driver successfully.
You wouldn't care where I sent this message from.
i have the same problem and i have windows 7 starter x86. all drivers installed. im wondering if my phone has fastboot mode or not.
Well everything works as I tried to do the same thing on VM with Windows XP. There was the same thing happening (the blue LED disappears) but after system asked me for drivers. After I installed them the device started to work as it should and I manage to unlock the bootloader . That surely was driver problem so if you manage to install them on your system I'm sure it'll work. Thanks for help
Hey there,
After upgrading windows 8 to 8.1, I cannot get my phone into fastboot. It seems that previously installed drivers on W8 are now gone.
Any idea how to fix this?

Install the drivers again.
I've had the same problem in windows 8.1... Fastboot device cannot be recognized by the system, but i don't know why; the problem was "Error enumerating device id". If you see hardware id, it doesn't exists and the driver won't be found. I returned to windows 7.

Mind if you shared a way of doing that?
Installing the official sony flashtool with its drivers didn't help + every other way I tried (that worked when I had 8) also resulted in failure.
PS:When I connect it in fastboot, windows says that "drivers malfunctioned, unknown USB device"

load wubi (windows ubuntu installer) over the link http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Wubi
than install ubuntu, on harddrive C:// and reboot your Pc
Now you have a linux in your current system, you can remove ubuntu (linux) in Programms & feautures list in windows.
now reboot reboot the system and isntall in ubuntu fastboot.
you musst give in the terminal sudo apt-get fastboot
and now you can flash your bootloader in linux.
but you musst sudo bevor you type fastboot flash type sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
you say it is easy
gooogle wubi (windows ubuntu installer)
im here.. me too facing the same weird problem.
in 8.1 os it worked at first but then it didnt recognizing my device. reinstalled the 8.1 os and tested and same result. worked at first then fu**ed up again.
hope someone will get ride of this prob in 8.1ois :/
Same..
Exactly the same problem here. On windows 8, no issue. After updating to 8.1, "Error enumerating device id". I've tried everything, but nothing.
I had my xperia without kernel, and I REALLY needed Fastboot, so I had to go to a W7 pc, and no issue then.
Ohh, and I can't disable driver verification on W8.1 . When i'm in advanced boot menu, I just can't press any key. The keyboard doesn't work, and I have to Hard Reboot. Any idea?
EDITED
This worked for me : http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
So now I can use fastboot/ flashmode, but only if I connect the phone to an usb 3.0 port. On 2.0 the issue is still there.

As I see the only way to get access to fastboot and flash mode is to use windows 8 or lower.
Here is the cause of our problem and there is no solution so far: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog...8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43.aspx
EDIT: I used the old XP machine of my parents to unlock the bootloader and everything worked fine
well w8.1 certainly cannot use fastboot if you plug it into USB 2.0 port..as microsoft has change it usb policies in w8.1, the only way to use fastboot in w8.1 is to plug into a USB 3.0 hub, and install your driver the same way before..

have u tried other USB port ?
Drivers installed properly?
Remove Sonymobile drivers and reinstall them.
This should do the trick. I also advice you to restore your device on a Windows 7 machine. I am unable to restore mine on my Windows 8.1 machine and I have to use the one from my sister to restore my device.
Sounds like you are using Windows 8/8,1
Try again on a Windows 7 machine.

There is a way. Download stock FTF, install flashtool on a Windows 7 device and restore.

On flashtool official download site, go to FAQ, it has instruction on how to install drivers on Windows 8.
http://www.flashtool.net/disabledrivers.php
*However, I tried it myself, but wasn't able to get it to work. (most likely because of my AMD USB filter driver problem)
You can check it out and try.
Are you using Windows 8.1 64bit? if that is the case, I can help...I have a solution. but first I have to go back to my home. the main thing is you have to uninstall USB driver from Microsoft and install modified intel driver for this purpose...

Alright lets do the following things:
- Remove Flashtool and its drivers
- Reboot pc
- Follow this to install Flashtool and the drivers correct: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087 (only the drivers required for Flashmode and Fastboot)
- Reboot again
- Connect phone in Flashmode (dont open flashtool) and let it install the drivers
- Reboot again
- Connect phone in Fastboot (dont open flashtool) and let it install the drivers
- Reboot (last time) again
- After reboot, open Flashtool and connect phone in flashmode (dont do anything) and wait a few minutes. Via the log of Flashtool you should be able to see if the phone is connected properly and if the phone stays connected
- Try to flash a Stock ROM and see what happends
If above fails then you can try to use compatible mode (flashtool.exe > Rightmouse button > Properties > Compatible mode > Windows 7)
