same here, trying to to update using Sony PC Companion and was told in the instructions, under step 5, to press and hold volume don key on the phone while plugging the USB cable into your phone, tried several times, even restarted phone, not happening.. HELP!1111111111

- Make sure the phone has charge.
- Remove SD card from phone.
- Make sure the correct divers are installed:

Scroll down to: [ before we begin unlocking bootloader ]
Here 3 packages are given for fastboot drivers:
download the fastboot package with usb drivers (alternate drivers if the ones in package dont work OR this)
- Try another PC \ USB port \ USB calbe?
- Switch the phone OFF , hold the volume UP button while you plug-in the USB. (DO NOT PRESS POWER!) Blue led?
- Switch the phone OFF , hold the volume DOWN button while you plug-in the USB. (DO NOT PRESS POWER!) Green led?
Does any of these options work?
Kind regards, Stefan.

No change for me, works fine on another PC. But i want to be able to update that phone in my own home.

Not sure why, it's usually more to do with user error, so simply retrace your steps and start over.

I tried via Sony PC Companion 2.1 and I get this message:

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

I use these rom on Xperia Z:

So use the flashtool then, and read the stickys too.

I tried flashtool at least 20 times. Simply can not start the installation system (vol. down button + USB cable at the same time does not work!). SO, I can not put phone in flashmode enymore. Flashtool see phone in this mode for a few seconds and then stuck. On the phone i have green led for a sec, then nothing...
So any method that requires phone in flashmode is unusable.
Before this i use it (flashtool) several time normaly.

Then you need to clean your computer of all things Sony, remove drivers etc and start over. http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/

[Q] Unlock bootloader on Xperia T!?

Hi,
So im trying to unlock the bootloader on the Xperia T, and I have checked if im allowed and it says YES, but when I try and connect the device in fastboot mode, I press volume up and then put cable in and then power the device on, the blue light stays on for 3 seconds or so and then the phone just boots up normally leaving the computer to say "Unknown Device". I have tried connecting using USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, while in USB 2.0 the device turns on with the blue led and stays there but fastboot does not bring up the device. Its like its not even connected!?
I am using Windows 8.1 and I have already disabled the driver signature!! I am also pretty sure I have installed the fastboot drivers correctly!
Do you think I should install a fresh copy of Windows 7 and try installing it using that?
Any Ideas!!
Thank You!! Reply ASAP!

What's the point of making a thread about Xperia t in neo forums??
Anyhow Windows 8.1 has driver problems... Best would be to try on 7...

Some xperia phone have problem staying on fastboot mode if haven't have driver install already on the computer, so to install fastboot driver is you pinpoint to the driver installation in device manager as soon as you plug in your usb, sure the phone will boot normally, but you don't close the driver installation first, you go to select driver manually and select your driver folder then click to it, but stop at the last stage where installation will begin, then shut off phone and plug in usb with volume up and immediately install the driver you select just now.if everything went well you should be able to install the driver...
In W8.1, microsoft change the usb policies, so there is no possible way to connect phone in fastboot mode using windows usb driver, thats normally refer to USB 2.0, but if your USB 3.0 are using chips from Intel, NEC, AMD,etc, and are running driver provided by vendor instead of microsoft then it is possible to run fastboot mode with USB 3.0 port.
hope that help

Thanks!

so please don't say basic work
thanks for any help

Try Sony Update Service. Download from their website, install and try

i try it but even don't know phone when connect it in flashmode!

Start up Sony Update Service, select your phone and follow the stepps. At one point you'll see this pic:
Remove the backcover. If you look closely you'll see a tiny yellow button.. Use a pen or paperclip to push and hold it for a few second to turn it off (will take some time and patience because our phone has its own will xD and will boot up again) Plug in cable into phone and into pc and press volume down untill you see a green light. This indicates flashmode.
If it goes well the programm should start doing its download and flash work

the green light is showing but Sony Update Service don't start flashing & it remaining in your screenshot stat!

Got a picture for me?
On second thought:
You got flashtool installed? (and thus the drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers?)

picture is like post 4#
yes i install it & drivers

I mean of your phone? I mean if the phone is connected into flashmode it should work.. So I dont understand why it wont work...

@amir_n71, did you download a firmware to use with Flashtool?

yes i download

And tried ofcourse...
Prior issue now is we need to get the phone into working flashmode so that Flashtool or Sony Update Center can reflash the Firmware...

Just to be sure, did you:
a. Check if your battery had enough juice left for flashing and, if not, tried to recharge it,
b. Try to enter recovery by powering on the phone while holding Volume Down button (if you had a recovery previously installed),
c. Use a Windows computer,
d. Exit and kill any running ADB processes (Sony Update Service and PC Companion included) before trying to flash with Flasthool?
and then:
1. Power off the phone (using side power button OR by pressing the Off button under the battery cover),
2. Download latest Flashtool,
3. Install FT AND flashmode and fastboot drivers,
4. Download a suitable official firmware in a form of a .FTF file (full firmware, not just a kernel),
5. Copy that firmware to the "firmwares" folder in FT's install directory,
6. Start FT, click on a "lightning" icon, wait for the proram to finish its thing, select the firmware you downloaded, click on "Flash", connect the phone to a USB port while powered off and holding Volume Down button until FT started the flashing process?

Just disconnect and reconnect. I got that a lot with my Xperia ray
Verstuurd vanaf mijn C5303 met Tapatalk

i tried but no answering!

ADB drivers: None
Fastboot Drivers: None
I suggest you reinstall Flashtool. It misses some drivers. (perhaps the cause?)
And also update Flashtool... See their thread and website

i installed latest version from flashtools website!

Now install fastboot and flashmode drivers that came with Flashtool. Open "drivers" folder, run that single EXE file, select fastboot and flashmode from the list and install them.
And be careful to run the correct version of Flashtool on your system! Run "flashtool64.exe" on a 64bit Windows, and "flashtool.exe" if you have a 32bit Windows OS.

3g problem

I got this weird problem problem with 3G on Xperia Z. On Wi-Fi everything works fine, but ond 3G, only Facebook aplication works, all other apps can't connect to internet. When i share my connection via hotspot, everything loads perfect on other device, so I eliminated sim/operator problem.
Problems started when I upgraded software to 10.5.A.0.230 version, so I tried reset to factory settings but didn't helped, and software version remains the same. I tried all common solutions, like APN settings and similar things, but nothing helped.

I had the same problem, how I solved it probably is not good to hear...
*Turn off your phone and conect it to PC, see if it's being recognized by your PC, check it out from *device manager* on Windows. If the PC shows something like QDLoader or at least something, your phone is probably auto booting into edl mode, if this is true you can try to flash using miflash
Try fastboot from a PC running Linux.
If these options don't help you, you are probably gonna need to open your phone and short pines, just like I did to revive mine xd
Good luck

that is exactly the same problem I had weeks ago... if there is no way to make the pc recognize your phone, you'll have to short those pines man, don't be afraid it's easier than it seems to be.
