[Q] Flashtool, Fastboot, Flashmode problems.

Hi all, i am trying to flash standard firmware on my xperia z from PAC rom, i downloaded a firmware package and went to flash it through flash tool. When it asked me to put the phone into flashmode i powered down the device held volume down and plugged in the USB, but no green light or any sign that the phone connected into flashmode. So then i thought ok it may be the kernal, so downloaded another kernel proceded to put the phone into Fastboot mode and nothing -_-
Would really like to go back to standard firmware, but being unable to connect the phone to either Fastboot or Flashmode i dont see what i can do?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. :good:

Bump

Too me all seems fine?

Too me all seems fine?

i can enter fastboot using the ADB command, but it will not go into it when i hold volume up + plug in USB?

[Q] Doesn´t charge while power off (also no flashmode/fastboot)

Well I explain you my problem.
Since I installed last saturday the last 4.3 ROM thanks to Doomlord, I noticed my phone doesn´t charge while in power off, it just doesn´t respond to the cable charger, I tried with several cables, wall chargers, via PC,... with no result, also looking for a solution I also noticed it doesn´t also respond to comands with volume buttons so it can not boot to flashmode and fastboot using the normal way.
booting to flashmode or Flashmode is not an issue as I found a way of doing it actually a couple of them, I will explain them just in case somebody is in a similar problem than me...
Via software Using flashtool (flash/fastboot) the aplication can force the phone to boot in fastboot via adb, using PCcompanion, (flash/repair) when it checks the phone after downlodaing the firmware it forces the phone to reboot in flashmode (in my case it doesn´t it just powers off and gets stucked but just pressing the power button it does, once booted in flashmode you can open flashtool and flash the desired ROM)
Via Hardware As I said it doesn´t respond when I plug in the cable but with the cable connected to the computer and pressing volume UP/down and power until it vibrates it will boot to flashmode or fastboot.
Now lets go back to my main problem...
I have being doing several things in order to solve it with no luck...
1º flash .278 kernel with recovery thanks to sj8023ld
2º Downgrade to .145 Xperiment custom ROM
3º Downgrade to .141 oficial using flashtool (result bootloader allowed: no" when it was unlocked before)
4º Flash again .141 with flashtool (bootloader again unlocked)
5º relock bootloader and flash with PCcompanion (flash/repair)
6ºFlash .145 oficial using Flashtool
7º Unlock bootloader, Root (easyrooting toolkit Doomlord) and CWM V9 by davidmarco.
Now I am again in 4.3 leaked with root and .278 kernel
After doing all this I couldn´t find a solution, Do you know guys if I can do anything else?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance

No, sorry, when powered on it is recognized as normal and on power off it is not detected at all

I have problems in my stock fw with charging while powered off. Does not at all, quite the inconvenience. However if you hold the power button my charge light comes on until my phone has enough juice to power up (well it doesn't have enough juice ever, but I quickly put into airplane mode till it charges a but more...)

[HELP] Boot loop and Cannot enter recovery/fastboot/flashmode

Guys,
I flashed a stock kernel (.207) through fastboot for relocking bootloader.. I was on CM 10.2 (FXP)
I was planning to flash .207 stock through flashmode after relocking BL
But the phone continuosly bootloops. It does not stay in fastboot or flashmode for more than 2 secs, so I cant flash the original kernel of CM 10.2
Also, pc says USB device not recognized when I connect in fastboot or flashmode,I have installed all the drivers also.
Please help me out guys, its urgent..
SOLVED:
Tried this method:
"You mean the problem you were facing is, it keeps on bootlooping even you turn it off via yellow button(off button at the back).then you need to do this. First, ready the flash tool ( until it it prompts to connect the phone.) Then open the back cover, you need a stick or a ballpen to be a tool for pressing the button, then put the pen in standing posistion(the tip's up) hold your phone,place the yellow button against the tip of the pen, press the volume down(if im not mistaken for the flashmode). If you follow me right, you will notice that if you push your phone down, the tip of the pen will trigger the button.. Then ready your usb data cable using your other hand but dont insert it in this point... Now press your phone down until it turn off. Hold and press the volume down(dont release it until you see the green light. Count to five so the movements will sync, after 5 release the pen and immediately attach the cable. If your lucky enough, you can do this in first try."
IT WORKED!!! LIFE SAVER! thanks to Aljon!!

Uhm to relock the bootloader you need to install a Stock ROM via Flashtool.. No need to mess with fastboot mode etc etc..
You could try to reflash the boot.img from the FXP you used before.

THe problem is my phone does not stay in fastboot or flashmode long enough
It again goes into bootloop
Also my pc says USB not recognized even when I have installed all drivers (both win 7 and 8)

Use another cable? Or USB port
~~Regards

[Q] Z1 won't turn on

Well i've got this problem with a Xperia Z1 from a friend of mine. It's not powering on. If i press the power button the phone won't turn on. It can enter fastboot but that is everything. The phone is fully charged because that's the only thing that works so far beside the fastboot. It's on stock firmware no custom ROM. Maybe that you people of XDA have the solution i hope so or experienced the same problem and that it is fixable.
Greetings,
Kyrindia

I Had a similar issue, my volume up button got stuck, causing it to always boot in fastboot.
Power up phone, connect to pc, install driver, then run fastboot on your pc and run:
Code:
fastboot continue
Let me know if it helps!

Did something happen to the phone?
Like dropped it in some liquid other than water?
Does the camera button still function?
For an android reinstall:
Boot the phone normally and perform a software reinstall using Sony PC Companion, connect it via USB to your pc.
With PCC you can fully reinstall the software on the phone.

The phone screen was replaced recently. The camera button works fine. And i don't know if there was any other liquid then water in the phone or something like that. The last thing that i could try is to reinstall the software and hopefully that works.
Thanks anyway :good:

I don't think so because this happened to me long ago when I tried to unlock bootloader.But I did something to the driver to work adb properly and it worked.And now I forgot that method and couldn't find in google also.So I'm really in big trouble.I just don't know why when I want to flash the stock rom and flashtool show in popup to power off the phone and press vol down button and connect to computer using usb cable but vol button don't work or not give any signal to computer.So I can't flash the rom.

Go to sony official site and download drivers.. ZR drivers dont exist but you can use drivers for Z, install those on your computer and use the fastboot method again and you should be fine.. Your phone is only soft bricked.. Hard brick is when there are absolutely no life in the phone at all.. Use a boot.img you know will work and no need to flash stock ROM once you're in recovery.. Unless you want to of course.. Custom ROM will boot your phone just fine
Also take your battery out and re-insert to make sure your phone is properly off.. Flashtool should also work after that

ZR driver exist in Sony developer website and I installed the driver but I don't know why my computer not recognizing my phone.My phone can turn into fastboot mode(blue light on when pressing vol up and connecting cable to pc) but when I type command "adb devices" the listed device is empty I mean no adb fastboot device found.I'm just asking the drivers are not working beacuse of windos 10?Actually when after I use custom rom I couldn't connect my phone to pc.So any driver can fix this problem?I searched really hard on google but couldn't find any proper sloutions.

Windows 10 is a pain to install drivers into.. But use fastboot in flashtool instead of flasmode.. Should recognize your phone and flash the boot image from there

I know you are trying to help me but I tried everything and nothing is working.I installed driver from flashtool but still no clue why pc not recognizing my phone.My phone is like a live junk.My phone soft bricked many times and I could recover my phone with flashtool so I know what to do but this problem is way more confusing.I just need to know what is causing this issue.

You've managed to install the drivers inc the lagan drivers in flashtool and connected your phone in fastboot mode with flashtool running and flashtool still don't recognize your phone? I've done that loads of times even with no drivers installed and flashtool has been able to recognize the device in fastboot.. If that's the case, then I'm sorry I'm not able to help any further as flashtool has always been my failsafe when things have gone wrong.. Adb and fastboot are usually no help for me in Windows 10..

Flashtool is the best tool to recover soft bricked phone I know but this problem is way more complicated.
Thanks that you tried to help me.I hope I'll figure it out some time later.

My problem was created because local charger damaged my phone battery.So I couldn't turn on my device like yours.I replaced the battery and charger from Sony Center and now my phone is good as new.So Try to use other good battery(small or similer size that suites to your phone's battery pin)and see if your phone turns on without any issue.Then you can target the problem.
