[Q] Xperia T wont stay in fastboot mode?

This has probably been asked many times before but ive rooted my xperia t and want to unlock the bootloader so I can install pacman rom, however when i hold the volume up and plug in the usb cable, the blue light stays on for around 5 seconds and then goes into charging mode, many people say to wait for it to show up in the device manager and install it manually which i keep trying to do but so far no luck so is there anyone who would gladly show me a noobs way of doing it as im following this guide at the moment.

I remember having this problem but can't remember how I solved it.
Sent from my LT29i using xda premium

you have to boot into safe mode and install the drivers that way.
It may not be called safe mode in win 8, but its something like that

RE: Xperia T wont stay in fastboot mode?
I have the same problem has anyone figured it out yet i cant do it in safe mode

had the same issue, but with me the problem was w8, if you are on window 8 you need to disable driver verification or something like that, i recomend, doing it on a windows 7 pc

I have windows 7 but did not work, can using a laptop affect the driver installation?

No, I use a win 7 laptop

Ok that's good because my desktop is quite slow. Could you tell me what you did exactly, I think I might be doing it wrong?

prob not, try on a other pc?

Help with Xperia z (soft brick?)

Hi I've been looking through the forums and haven't been able to find anything to help with this. Recently I rooted my phone and tried installing CM10.1. As I was doing the process trough CWM it all seemed to work fine until I went to reboot the phone and it was supposed to restart instead it never booted up again. When I hold down the power button it vibrates but nothing happens. When I put it to charge the red LED lights up and when I connect it to the computer it recognizes that something is connected in the USB but doesn't recognize what it is. Sony is giving me trouble for repair because I bought it internationally (UK variant). Any help would be very much obliged, thanks in advance.

Did anyone mention emma? Just use flashtool, like 2 people have already said. There's a tutorial in the general section.

Dont download from sony site.. thats emma its different
This is the flashtool you need https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool

Like everyone else has said get Flashtool, get firmware, flash firmware and you should be okay. Also make sure you actually went through the whole bootloader process.
6.You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
7. Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
8. Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
9. Select 'Open command window here'
10. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
11. In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
12. If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
13. Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
I didnt follow numbers 6-13 and for a good 2 weeks i was having a really bad time. I would try and flash boot.img and what not and nothing would happen or i would soft brick.

Possible brick....need help!!!

So i think i bricked my phone...started downloading the new venom rom and didnt have all of the files i think...i kept wiping the device because i saw in videos your supposed to before hand....i can no longer get past the htc start up screen and at the bottom it says the devoloper stuff...i can still get into TWRP and wondered if anyone could help me sideload SuperSu or something....it says super SU isnt there and i have to install it but when i swipe to install i get stuck at that first screen...it says i have no Operating system chosen but for that i think i need root (superSu) first?

I can help, first I need to know which HTC One you have, what carrier.
Once youve found out which carrier head over to the sticky with all the stock RUUs and download the one for your phone and carrier (if youre soff then just download anyone) then hold power and vol down to get into bootloader, press fastboot. Plug in your phone and dont touch it... Open up command prompt (assuming youre on windows) and go to your fastboot location... Type in "fastboot oem lock" wait for it to relock youe bootloader... Then type "fastboot rebootRUU" then wait til your phone shows a different screen, the RUU one. Now open up the RUU .exe and run it. Your phone will now be at stock.
That should work if you have fastboot working.

This is why you shpuldnt root your phone if you have no knowledge of adb and fastboot...

I don't suppose you could do the same for me?, I'm in exactly the same boat, Factory unlocked HTC One, can only get into bootloader and TWRP, no OS installed, can't get mass storage or HTC MTP drivers installed so not way to get a new OS on...... I'm an idiot., If anyone can help I would appreciate., tried the steps in post 2 but command prompt just says waiting for device.
Sorry for the thread hijack, its just that its virtually exactly the same as whats happened to me.

Did you try the tutorials from XDA itself? The YouTube tuts are often not this good for beginners. Did you set the environment the right way?
- all drivers (fast boot is very important)
- newest adb
- newest LG software (for drivers)
- all settings on the device itself (?)
PS: Look for your baseband version,
If it has EUR-XXX in it, it should work.
Same for 262-000. At least those two
I know will work flawlessly.

yes it dose, it detect my phone and sd card in phone.

I had the same problem and it was because of the wrong fast boot drivers (there seem to be different out there) search in the Q&A for fast boot drivers, there should be a thread of me asking for the right ones (there's a link to working drivers)

oke. i will try find a link where it shows how to force the driver in. if u do it and still dont work ill show u the hard way using the sdk

I had no LG before so i'm newbie
Is there any chance to fck up this phone trying to unlock bootloader?
Cuz i wanna sell it tommorow but the buyer wants to have unlocked a bootloader.
Up: u havnt answered my question yet.
Sent*from my i9300 using Tapatalk

Didnt find any good enough link.
just try follow exactly what i say.
1. Open the Device Manager
2. Locate the device you want to force to update.
3. Right Click on the device and select "Update Driver Software"
4. Choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
A list of "compatible drivers will be listed, and a "have disk" Button. click the Have Disk Button and browse to the folder where you saved your driver. when you open the driver folder, the list will be populated with a list of the drivers it has found . Pick the adb testing interface. Done.

dont worry it happens to these drivers. all are the same. even if its google adb driver , even if android , anything will do the same work. thing is to let the pc know when u are using adb or not.

One more question.
Do my LG has to be rooted to unlock a bootloader?
