Hi, so I have a stock ICS rom on my lt30a, and im trying to put the Jelly Bean update. This is the first time im using flashtool but I did my research and knew everything I needed to do. One thing keeps preventing me from flashing it to my phone. I put the phone successfully in flash mode, green light, its recognized in flashtool, excellent, then after a short period of time my phone just reboots, shows the sony logo and is charging normally. I think my computer just keeps not recognizing the phone again and again but as far as I know all the drivers are installed.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Ok then looks like usb debugging is turned off goto developer options and turn it on and try flashtool again also make sure to allow mock locations in that same menu
hope this helps
Huh it says in developer options that usb debugging is on. I turned on mock locations and will try again. It could be the problem is with my computer or Windows 8 not flash tool or my phone

Before connecting the phone, you must prepare the ftf file. Drag and drop it into the open window of flashtool and only connect the phone when promoted to

I'm nervous about doing that because one time I did it and I just assumed there was a time out, so I quickly went into flash mode and started to flash the ftf file. It said preparing then a second into actually flashing it disconnected. I thought I had bricked my phone but it booted fine.

Well, thats the way to do it. You must let flashtool prepare the files and only attach the phone when it prompts you to do so.
Tell me what happens when you do it. I cant help you if I dont know if it disconnects whilst actually flashing. Please copy and paste the log from flashtool

Actually one thing I just noticed that my phone is doing which as far as I know has never happened before yesterday is when I hit turn off the phone turns off then reboots normally when it should just stay off. Might this be some contributing culprite. I cant try to flash it right now but i will when i can. Thanks for the help
Edit: Also just noticed that windows drivers is having trouble downloading S1 boot drivers. I dont know if this is relevant

No need to say thanks, just hit someones thanks button if you want to say thanks.
That is a seperate issue from 303 or 195 FW, I beleive it is gone on 223 and 498 FW
But what you can try is to press volume up and power button to hard reset the phone. Do it untill it vibrates once AND THEN KEEP PRESSING UNTILL IT VIBRATES 3 MORE TIMES. Then try connecting in flashmode

I should have asked this but is there actually a time out for the flash mode?
Power and volume up together until you get three vibrations. There is no time out for flash mode

Could the problem be driver related? When im in flash mode my computer starts to look for S1 boot but doesnt have enough time for it to download the necessary driver. If so can i get this driver from somewhere else?

Hi, I've been following XDA for some time and successfully rooted my older phones since the X10. I ran into trouble with my Xperia T though after attempting to upgrade it to 9.1.A.195. Something went awry after following (as closely as I thought I had done) the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43953283
The outcome of it was that my phone is now completely unresponsive, I found another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243299&page=2 which shows how to possibly recover a brick, but I'm wondering if any of you knowledgeable types can offer me any words of wisdom?
The Xperia T was just showing the initial "Sony" boot label and going no further, I left it on that screen alone to run out overnight as per the second thread, at the moment I'm guessing it's not quite run out as if I try to turn it on, I don't get anything on the screen, but the red LED flashes a few times. If I connect it to a charger now it goes back to turning on and only displaying the "Sony" boot label.
Is this Xperia a dead duck or can I fix it??
Hard reset it and repair using pccompanion if you have a locked bootloader.
If you have unlocked the bootloader then hard reset it and flash a stock ftf, wipe everything and exclude nothing

Hi, I think it's dead I've been trying to PC Companion repair it, but it keeps disconnecting from PC Companion, I'm going to leave it to charge fully then try again. PC Companion was able to resume the download portion each time it disconnected, but now it's got to the update part it needs to start from scratch, but it looks to disconnect/reboot or something each time which interrupts the update process.
What I did, from memory, was to CWM flash .195 and kernel, on reboot it just came up with the "Sony" badge and went no further. I can't get back into CWM. I can't use flashmode in flashtool either as I can't connect the phone using the up or down volume. The only thing that seems to be working is the soft and hard reboot as I can feel the 1 or 3 vibrate happening. Once I reconnect now using PCC it connects for a short while then disconnects, nothing visible on the screen.

when you say you flashed .195, my firmware is .145, .195 is an ICS firmware, so if you've cross flashed then this is what is causing the problem. If you can get to the sony screen there should be a way to fix it!
Are you sure you can't enter flashmode? try again. turn the phone off, open flashtool, put the cable into the PC, not your phone, then hold the down button and don't let go, then connect the cable whilst still holding the down button.
EDIT: to confirm you do have the Xperia T, LT30p?
not LT30a and the TX?

Ooops, typo, I was flashing to 9.1.A.1.145 from locked and rooted ICS.
When the LT30p gets enough battery it turns on, takes about 1 second to show the "Sony" label (after that is normally the "Xperia" label then the swooshing colours before the Android OS). I've left it on charge for the moment, it's showing a red LED.

I left it on overnight, Sony was displayed until I guess it ran out of battery. I haven't re-tried flashtool yet, charging it back up again.
Infact, I'm not sure if it got a partial update on PCC, but it doesn't look to be turning on now, not sure why. If I press the on button the red LED flashes, if I try to reset I just get the red LED flashing again.
If I connect it to flashtool, Sony is displayed, I get the following on flashtool:

you're getting into flashtool, you'll be fine.
that's fine, when it does that, just take the phone out and connect again.
mine does this so it's normal.
Try, putting the FTF in first, then click ok or whatever to flash, then it'll say connect the phone, so connect the phone
You need usb debugging on.
So you will have to repair with pcccompanion before flashing with flashtool

Holy **** sticks! I don't know how many times I tried doing the same thing over and over and over, but PCC ended up getting it's hooks in after the n'th attempt and I now have stock 9.1.A.1.145 installed! Looks like the official Sony PCC upgrade is Polish which is a bit weird, but I've got it into English anyway.
Am I chuffed?? Too bloody right I am!!
How many thanks can I give in one thread? I am very chuffed that you guys insisted that it wasn't a lost cause.
Last brave question from me... can I root the official 9.1.A.1.145

Hi, I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again and i get a constant red led while the Sony logo appears. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing I'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto software info/configuaration. If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, then you CANNOT unlock it via ANY means
2) If it says yes (I doubt it, because flashtool has already checked this) then you can.
3) Flashmode has nothing to do with bootloader. Press volume up to get into fastboot (Blue LED) for working with bootloader, press volume down (Green LED) to work in flashmode, which is for flashing FTF's.
4) If you are trying to flash a FTF, then do not connect the phone until it asks
5)Make sure you have gone to C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.exe. Ensure you choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
6) Make sure you are on the latest version of flashtool 0.9.13.1
Can I ask what you are actually trying to do?
Also flashmode and fastboot and adb dont work on windows 8(.1)

Its not even booting, past the Sony logo so i cannot do anything (i can't do step 1 as you've asked). Its literally a bootloop. Can you give me step-by-step instructions to get out of this bootloop? I tried to install custom ROM but it died on me, and now its on the bootloop, which i can't get passed.

Oh okay. I'm using windows 8.1, so what would I do to fix the issue?
I have given my phone to the manufacturers to try and sort out but I have a feeling they will refuse to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. If i use a windows 7 machine, would it work? If so, how do I fix it such that it exits bootloop and allows me to access my phone. I don't mind losing all my data (although i think its lost anyway lol)
P.S. thanks for the reply.

Hi, I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again and i get a constant red led while the Sony logo appears. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing I'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!

I'm sure your batt is dead. Try the rubber band method. Give it like 2/3 rounds of it on the power button and hold it and plug in charger. it should charge with red led on. Pull battery and try again if it does not charge. Give it some charging and it should be able to enter flashmode to flash stock.

I don't think the battery is dead, as the led would just blink and wouldn't even show me the Sony logo.. Everytime i use the phone with the charger it goes into the bootloop, looping around the Sony logo and then switching off again, then the sony logo will show again, etc. I've sent it off to Sony manufaturers. Would they fix it (even if the manufacturers warranty is void)? Like, even if they charge a little (hopefully not stupid amounts of money lol)? If not, i'm going to try and use flashtool on windows 7 machine and hope that it works, as I've heard flashmode and fastboot and adb do not work on windows 8(.1), which is what im currently using :crying:

Hello. Have you tried hard reset?
Press power button and vol up key together until it vibrates. Phone should start up?

Yes (or, at least its definitely one of the reasons). Use Win 8 or Win 7 or Win XP.
If after that point you still have trouble with it sticking to flashmode: I also had trouble flashing via flashmode with one of my USB ports. I like to use the front ones on my PC but they don't work for every device. There is also a USB cable that I have that does not work for flashmode. Consider these 2 things

I'll try windows 7 when I get it back. And wow really? I didn't realise that using different cables actually made a difference? At the end of the day, if it charges the phone it should work! Lol, Sony know how to make things real complicated!
Experia T stuck on SONY logo
Help, another help
I read about the leaked 4.3 and the latest 4.4
Did much flashing with HTC Desire.
Now I made a big mistake trying something with my Xperia T
Using DooMLorD flashtool I got into fastboot mode and then clicked on 'Reboot device into system'
I WISH I HADN'T
Now my Xperia T is dead.
Starting up it gets stuck on the SONY logo, nothing, nothing happens.
Please help me recover the device!

It's just a soft brick. What did you wanted to flash? Just flash a stock .ftf file with flashtool, or a kernel with recovery.

Well, first of all I want the phone to start up normally again so that I can use it.
What I did achieve up till now is that I can get it connected to flashtool in Fastboot mode.
I guess this gives me the opportunity to flash a boot.img first so that I can install 4.4 or 4.3 later.
But first things first.
Do you think flashing a boot.img could restore the phone in a state that it functions as a normal phone again?

My xperia t has gone in for repair. Before considering this though, could you try one thing to see if it'll help restore phone? Go to your PC companion (and no, its not a standard recovery which i'm going to suggest so keep reading!). Once you have done this, click on "Support zone". Click "Start" on the "Phone/tablet software update" option. Note, you do not need to plug in your device yet!. You should get an error message coming up saying device not connected. And once you get this, there should be a message asking you whether you are having "severe problems with your phone/tablet". There's a "repair my phone/tablet" hyperlink. I want you to click that and NOT the connect button. Once you have clicked that, please follow the on screen instructions. Tell me if this works for you I hope it does!

No it dod not.
Why?
Because SONY decided that I have made changes to my phone and SONY now refuses to repair my device.

Ah that sucks! Are you not on windows 8? I've heard that windows 8 and flashtools don't get along, but if you're saying you've got your device into fastboot you should be able to flash it using flashtools!
Sony Xperia T LT30p dead resolved
OK, here it is for those interested on how to revive a dead Xperia device.
Yesterday my phone stalled at the SONY logo.
Nothing could be done anymore.
My phone has returned into normal state thanks to SonyXperiakiasT :good:
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315572
Howto get into a state that one can flash the phone.
- download: LT30P_9.1.A.1.141_PL.ftf (the original firmware)
- install and activate flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe
- at the SONY logo push on/off, vol-up and vol-down together
- when the phone vibrates an the logo disappears release all buttons and immediately after push on/off and vol-up button
- when phone vibrates release on/off button, keep pushing vol-up button and plug in USB cable from computer
- you will be in a state with a blue light at the top left of your phone.
- however you want to get in a state with a green led
- push vol-down and on/off
- unplug the USB
- wait for the phone to vibrate
- release the on/off button and plug in the USB
- Follow the instructions in the thread mentioned above and your phone will be revived.
All the pushing, releasing, plugging and unplugging is a quite delicate affair.
I tried it during several hours before I got a bit of grip on it and still I am not shure how I got into the green led state.
Try it, be patient and be shure that repair is within reach as soon as you have a green LED on your phone.
Good luck!

Hey so I ran into this same problem! my phone wouldn't do anything except boot up to the Sony screen, no lights no charging nothing
I figured it out, at least for me
>Have your flash ready to go via Flashtool
>Have your phone plugged into your computer via USB
>Hold the volume down button and then while holding it turn it on
you should have your green light and may have to hold the volume button the whole time until its done flashing.
Hope this works
FIX!
Hey the same thing happened to my xp T few days ago. My phone was rooted with UB. I was stuck on SONY LOGO too n my phone was rebooting from there repeatedly but I was managed to get into cwm n I installeddifferent kernels + Rome but it was no good. Like u said in your OP I couldn't get into flashmood too. When I select the firmware flashtools say preparing files then the phone reboots! Then flashtools say device disconnected!! The solution for this is when flashtools says device disconnected pull the usb cable n press vol up with power button n turn off phone. Then once turned off straight away press vol down n plug in usb cable n flashtools will start flashing. The important thing here is not to close the window that pops up when flashtool say device disconnected in red. Hope this helps, same prob worked for me so should work for you! Peace
Hi everyone, i'm newbie here and, for first i'm so sorry formy bad english, but, anyway
My problem is serously hard, someone here having problem like me, for example - click.
Okey, so now my problem: Xperia C5303, i'm don't know which firmware was stay at this XPS until them became bricked, not my phone
Phone isn't boot, don't react to power\+ and - button, when i try to connect it to PC, the phone light up red when attempting to charge, remain solid red for 10 minutes before the LED switches off for around 5-7 minutes.The phone then use to go back to the red LED and the loop would continue. I take a multimeter, plug it at + and - to the batttery, when i connecting USB, RED light up, voltage going to ~3.20V, after RED light switches off and voltage going to ~2.8V and phone again charged to 3.2V and loop, loop, loop. If i disconnect USB cable with 2.9V-3.1V and press PWR button, RED light blinks 3 times, like them discharged. So, i can't put phone to Flashmode\Fastboot mod, for first i think, maybe not enough charging on battery for start flashmode\fastboot, BUT, I was wrong, i charge battery for 4-5Hrs without phone, just use AAA and AA charger laugh,voltage around 3.6V, connected to phone, connect USB and...nothing, just nothing, don't react to anyting, as I understand USB transmits a signal if battery is discharging And, when i connect charged battery and click pwr button, voltage started to fall as if the phone is switched on.
Soooo, in Flashtool, when i connected phone with pressed - button\+ button, PC determine phone like HID device!!!, wooow, how?
I install all drivers that i know, SEUS, PC Compasion, Flastool drivers, drivers from XDA worum for all Sony phones.
Flashtool log:
25/010/2014 15:10:11 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

Let your phone charge with a wall socket charger (preferably the original one) for atleast 12 hours and then try again.
Done, I will inform you 12 hours pass

Remove battery and then connect USB with volume down button pressed.
My friend's Xperia E went into flash mode without battery, so there is a chance that SP will also get into flashmode without battery.
Or else try this if you had screwed your kernel:
Remove your phone's battery and put atleast 30-40% charged battery in it. Your can also charge your phone's battery by connecting it to another Xperia SP. Once you had 30-40% battery, try to boot your phone. It should get into bootloops, then you can connect it in flash mode.

You do not need to think about how was it detected by your computer. You just need to make sure it is connected to Flashtool. Either way, you must retry the method I have linked you to, or try the one in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54634835&postcount=35
Does your phone able to connect to your computer by any means? I mean does Windows ever detect any presence of device (noticeably the usual "installing driver" balloon or the "hardware connect" sound)?

His phone has already working normally. He should edit the question when he succeeded with his phone though.
I INstalled a custom rom with Unlocked bootloader and after it was finished it just stuck in black screen... nothing happens the only thing happens is when i press power button and volume up vibrates and then nothing... no led's no charging nothing... please help
Is it detected with Flashtool?
@lexykon : i think since ur device responds, its not a total hardbrick. Flashing an FTF using flashtool should help

no it says no device connected
You have to push Hard reset button (red button just near the SIM card) until phone vibrates 3 times. Then you push volume down button and then connect PC microUSB cable into the correct connector on your Z1.
Flashtool should see your phone. Then you can flash with flashtool back to your previous (stock ?) ROM.

Strange. Did you connect the usb cable to your phone AND maintain volume down button?
Because USB debugging OFF is only when your phone has started Android. When in Flashmode Android is not started.
So after pushing red hard power off button and phone vibrates 3times (it's important it vibrates 3 times) :
- close and restart Flashtool on your computer,
- choose Flash button (strike icon), choose the FTF of the stock firmware then validate and then check 'Flashmode' then OK, it will work few seconds and bring you a new screen explaining you how to get into flash mode with a phone and cable in a Window,
- take your USB cable in left hand,
- push down volume button with your right hand
- connect your cable in micro USB port AND maintain volume down for a few seconds
I decomposed the steps because it is important not to wait too long when connecting cable onto your device and launching Flashtool (that's why I prefer to launch it before, as described above), because if the phone detects current in its usb port, it starts system. It is important to be ready and having Flashtool launched BEFORE plugging the cable.
Send the results.

That's quite wierd. The fact that phone's LED becomes red is a good sign, i.e. going to flashmode.
IS it Flashtool saying the phone is in USB debugging ? If not, you can then flash after the LED ran red with flashtool.
Flashtool may say it's USB debugging OFF if Android is booted.
If in flashmode, Flashtool should say :
03/043/2015 15:43:18 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
And then you can flash...

Thats my flashtool ;/
Have you tried fastboot? Volume up while plugging cable.
Perhaps you can flash a boot.img from there and use recovery at least.
This is what happens to my phone when the kernel fails to flash, usually after restoring a nandroid.

Ok you shouldn't have that in your flashtool log.
Without the phone connected to the PC, you should have the following message, especially "Please connect your device into flashmode" :
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Selected Bundle for Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903). FW release : 14.4.A.0.108. Customization : Generic FR 1276-5833_R5C
03/049/2015 16:49:48 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
03/050/2015 16:50:49 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
From my point of view, it doesn't seem your phone is powered off.
Then to Power Off hard press the red button near sim card, just above the chrome power button until phone vibrates 3 times :

Then do the steps I gave you before.

Ok dude. Sorry but I can't help you anymore. Maybe advanced developpers could. My knowledge on flashing Z1 is 2 days old only
FYI, my LED is blinking 1 time red and 1 time green very quickly when I power on my Z1 in flashmode. Nothing on screen, but Flashtool detects my device in Flashmode.
Maybe, as proposed by markuz85, you should try Fastboot mode (volume up instead of volume down)... but I never tried this and I won't be helpful on that.
Good luck and tell us if you have got something.

I went to Sony and played stupid... so they will replace it with my warranty thanks btw guys really appreaciate your help
When I look at your screenshot I think "have you pressed the left button at the flashtool before you connect the device?" only after that you can select the flashmode at this tool.
