Hello !
Yesterday, I tried to install cyanogenmod 12 on my Xperia T with locked bootloader. I have a problem with fastboot. For some resons (It work fine on moto g), I use flashify to flash my boot.img. Now I have a QHSUSB device on my computer.
The phone doesn't boot in flashmode. Just Qualcomm download mode.
So i install Qualcomm QPST in order to flash my phone.
But I don't know how it work et I don't have system images. Then, Can I flash kernel with this tool ?
I hope you can help me ! Thank you
PS : Sorry my english is very very bad. It's my first post !
PS2: I have stock firmware (Including boot.img) on my disk drive

Just Qualcomm download mode? Are you trying to say fastboot mode? If you can get into Fastboot, you could flash a stock kernel.
You should know that you can't install custom kernels (i.e. CM12) on a locked bootloader.

picked up a Z1 and went straight to rooting it.
rooted succesfully, installed the dualrecovery, and then attempted ot install VANIR only to realize that i did not unlock the bootloader.
so it will not turn on. holding power it vibrates every 2 seconds. plugged in it does teh same, but also blinks red.
i can get the computer to recognize it several different ways.
blue led- fastboot interface in device manager - not detected in adb devices
red/green/blank led - SOMC flash - no adb
PC companion is no go.
I have no idea where to go from here. I am currently downloading flashtool to see where that gets me, but I was hoping someone might have some direct and well known solution that i did not uncover in my searching..
Thanks

He will not be able to enter recovery because dual recovery is system based which he cannot get to as its now trying to boot a custom kernel with a locked bootloader.
Also the recovery on a custom kernel is in the kernel, which also cannot boot. Hence a bootloop with no chance of recovery mode
The solution should be easy enough
Flash a stock FTF for your device using flashtool

Look in the general section for a sticky thread called FTF mega collection for the best FTF file for you.
Once you have flashed that then you should* root, then unlock the boot following the official sony instructions (http://bit.ly/1cebNlh).
once you have done that flash the boot.img of the rom you want to flash using fastboot them flash the update.zip in recovery
*The reason to root before unlocking the boot is to backup the DRM keys in your TA partition. If you do not do that you lose them forever.
:crying: I was trying to root the phone with twrp in fastboot mode, but all of a sudden my pc shut down while still in fastboot twrp mode. and now my phone wont turn on. I cant boot into recovery, fastboot, no charge led, please guys help me.

Good news so. Just download the fastboot version of the miui rom you want, download miflash tool (Google it) and use it to flash the rom. You can find full steps by step somewhere in the xda threads.

No need to enter in fastboot mode with miflash that's the point with this method. But you'll loose everything on your phone

Thank you, will try now, but will take some time to download the rom, will definitely update on the process once i tried it. i really appreciate your reply, hope this works. thanks once again.
a million thanks
It worked, You are a life saver,:good::good::good::good: thank you very much for your assistance.
I would first recommend you to download any Mi 5 Fastboot image from MIUI forums than install it in Fastboot mode (Hold Volume down+ Power button) through ADB or MIflash tool.
Afterwards recharge your phone fully and then proceed to install TWRp and custom ROM (provided you have unlocked bootloader)

Guys I wanted to install custom roms in my Xiaomi mi 5 , therefore got my bootloader unlocked and installed twrp recovery through adb . After that , I wiped my miui ROM after taking its backup and tried flashing aoscp ROM , which didn't flash . Thereafter , I restored the previous ROM and now whenever I reboot , it gets stuck on the initial startup screen where Mi logo is there .
Kindly suggest on what to do next since this is very worrying issue for me . Regards
I unlocked my redmi 4 (Santoni) boot loader and flashed pixel experience ROM (https://mega.nz/#F!INZgnAZI!9fuWhfCuazOO5YPBjxGlmA). It was working fine for a few days (Small heating issue was there). Then one day while i was charging the phone the phone turned off and never turn back on. When i try to switch on the mi logo flashes for a split second and then turns off. I tried to get into recovery but couldn't.
I can get into fastboot mode. I tried flashing the phone using Mi flash tool and fastboot rom. But it shows an error "flash tz error". When i tried an old version of mi flash tool i get the "Unspecified error (0x80004005: FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed))
Please Help.....

Have you tried installing TWRP via fastboot?
I had the same exact problem, i put my phone on charge & when i came back to check it was switched off. It wouldn't turn on except the mi logo. I tried to flash through fastboot turns out my bootloader was re-locked for some reason. I had to re-unlock it then proceed on to fash fastboot miui rom. Check if your bootloader is locked or not.

This is a good idea! Probably u first try to install trwp in fastboot mode. If this doesn't work try to unlock bootloader again and then install trwp.
When all these Option doesn't work u still can open the phone and use edl fastboot mode to flash miui again.

Tried unlocking boot loader and was not successful because the phone was bricked. My only option was to use edl test point. Now i installed miui 11. (Aprart from some minor bugs which can be eliminated by reflashing some other roms) Thank you guys. Now my phone is successfully unbricked.
For somebody who is having the same issues,
My phone (Redmi 4_Santoni) was completely bricked. The only thing i can access was fastboot by pressing the volume down + Power button combination. But i could not install twrp or any other recovery because my boot loader was locked. I got it fixed completely with the help of you guys (Thanks again) and i want to share the procedure i went through.
Condition: Completely bricked with only fastboot access, Locked bootloader.
I tried this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j27x5iJSS40) but failed because i could not access recovery. So my only solution was to use edl test point flashing. I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74818435&postcount=3. It was very easy to do. But in the device manager (Press Windows key + R and then type devmgmt.msc and press enter) instead of showing "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008", the device is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E". The problem was you have to plug in in USB cable while the test points is being connected with a pair of tweezers or a paperclip as shown in the link above.
Make sure you already downloaded the latest mi flash tool from here https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ and download fast boot rom from the official website. (Go to https://en.miui.com/ Click rom downloads. Click flashing guide. Download the fastboot rom from there for your device.) Now flash your device using mi flash tool and voila. your phone is unbricked.
Thank you guys..
(french) hello
I could not start in edl mode with the xda instructions but I found a videos
phone on android, connected to the computer by usb. you keep pressing the power button and the volume down button.
when the screen goes black immediately you strafe the volume + button for 2 sec.
the secret is the windows song if the phone is on. when you hear windows song strafe the volume +. i know I did it with my phone off and my phone on quite a few times
normally your computer will recognize the phone in the correct mode. if there is a problem do not forget to install these drivers and restart the computer as it will stay in edl mode and will be well supported.

that's funny visibbly before you unlock or reflash the original bootloader the phone don't have fastboot mode with me. but fastboot don't work well in windows. it work erfectly on linux ubuntu with me at exemple.
thanks for your attention

So this is how you go into fastboot ?

no no we should not confuse.
there is download mode in originale lg phone for flash stock roms
there is "edl mode" for unlock bootloader
there is fastboot mode when you unlock the bootloader with this screen.
a tips. root first your phone. 2 backup your firmware. 3 flash twrp. i had problem because i don't do this. there is stock firmware already rooted. its easily.

But you can get to fastboot, just not the way you read on the internet.
The device doesn't have fastboot available, until, you put it in edl mode and use qfil to flash the 'engineering' abl. That's what gives you fastboot.
You could, at that point, use fastboot to get the info for unlock.bin. But why? because at that point you can just type 'fastboot oem unlock', and it's unlocked.

Unlock only works with Oreo ??
I have Pie
How do I downgrade without root ?
Is it possible ?
If I can flash a firmware without root
I'd be more than happy to flash a custom rom which has LG's apps instead of Google annoying ones.

Dw just go to fastboot mode. From there if your bootloader is unlocked then flash Twrp, Shrp and orange fox recovery using Adb. After flashing recovery flash any custom rom or official Rn11 recovery rom.
i tried to go into fastboot mode but nothin, computer doesnt see phone. and adb says no devices
