can't get to flashmode.. - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody,
i'm unable to get my phone in flashmode..i come from slimkat (unlocked bootloader) did a full wipe, flashed the ihackers kernel through fastboot and then through recovery, flashed the minimal version of ihackers 4.1, switched off my device and then plugged the usb cable while holding vol-. my computer sees an SEMC Flash Device and Flashtool says: Device connected with USB debugging off For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode i've installed the latest version of flashtool and drivers to no avail.. in short, i can't get to flashmode. the phone works fine (except for the camera that won't focus to save it's life) anybody knows how i can fix this?
thanks in advance!

If you are trying to flash a FTF then choose the FTF first and do not connect the phone until you prompted to by flashtool
Then, please copy and paste then output from flashtool here.

thanks for your quick reply and my apologies for not providing all info. i've done that, several times i've also reinstalled/updated the drivers that come with flashtool.

Question, flashing with Flashtool means that the phone must be powered off, i don't understand why the debugging option must be on...

crossed my mind too..

btw, i'm running Doomlord's v16 kernel

ALso, update to the latest version of flahtool
It needs to be on, because when you attach the phone it turns on but goes into flashmode...just because there is nothing on the screen does not mean its turned off.
Also, allow unkown sources in security and please attach the phone turned on to flashtool and post the output.

I confirm that i never turned on the debug mode on and i have the same alert, but that flash correctly. I think the problem is due to the flashtool version, he doesn't use the latest.

oh AllMighty Greg, have you any clue to what i'm doing wrong? i'll wait right here

Please no more "Allmighty Greg" I am not all that, there are plenty of people with far more experience and knowledge than me
OK, Are you cancelling the flash yourself or is it cancelling it on its own?

If you did unlocked bootloader then:
1.Maybe your nAa isn't ok.....try to change it
2.Check baseband number...it must end wit 015
3If all of the above is good then re-flash/flash stock rom........root......unlock bootloader........re-flash kernel
****WARNING****
If you brick your device while unlocking bootlaoder that's not my fault

[Q] Unlocking bootloader

Hello!
Have a rooted Sony X8 with Ginger DX installed. Like to flash the kernel with custom ROM to make it quicker and then also Ginger DX.
From what I understand in different threats I need first to unlock the bootloader. I understand that I need to flash first the Stock ROM and then to unlock bootloader. I downloaded the stock ROM *.ftf and used FlashTool (for Mac!).
But unfortunately I get some error messages. I already posted this at the end of another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41081576#post41081576) but are stuck.

Anybody suggestions on how to proceed?
Hey there,
I'm not sure about Mac but I think you might have a corrupt download of the stock ftf file.
Do an md5 checksum on the file and check it with the original - If they match, it's good - if not, delete it and re-download the ftf.
Good luck.

exec'/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or dirrctory
can anyone solve this ?

i honestly don't know how it works on mac but... are you sure you have the necessary drivers? the last post looks fine to me, unless i missed something.
or use a dfferent version of flashtool?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

When I open the application and go to drivers there are no files. Under devices E15 is mentioned (=SE X8).
See below. I guess that if a driver or something else is missing Flashtool would indicate it.
Are there alternative flashtools?

But under Plugins there is no device detected. So how to proceed? First Root the phone?
I also found out about drivers in Mac. Under help you can check drivers. It gives:

No difference with Mac and Windows. Do I need to root the phone first to unlock bootloader?
When I started I was able to select my phone under plugins (see post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41046260&postcount=26
UPDATE:
Rooted the phone and then I can use the unlock of bootloader. Only error again.

1) there is already a thread on this.
2) One way to go back is to restore the backup you should have made before flashing a custom rom.
3) Try relocking your bootloader and flashing the ftf. Or flash a stock V kernel and then flash the ftf.
Let me know how you get on

Does it show any sign of life at all? Try charging to a few minutes. I think it's a hard brick, but try anyway. If it doesn't work, send it to sony (serVice center).

i`ve tried to charge it with vivaz, (same battery),,, but no sign of living yet, is it the only way to fix this problem?

There are some shops that can fix it. You can also do it using jtag, but i haven't seen any tutorials about it. You can try google for that.

thanx,,, looks like i gotta` kiss the friendship between me and my friend goodbye...
but i still dont understand why "S1 tool identify" software said its unlockable, because i`ve seen one site and it claimed if you see that sentence "SEMC SIMLOCK certificate", in s1tool identify`s log, you can unlock the bootloader,

Well, you didn't want that to happen. Hopefully, you and you r friend can work things out. Yes s1tool will tell you that you can unlock it. Unfortunately, phones with manufacturing date above 11w28 is always a risk as far as unlocking the bootloader.
