[Q] Fastboot mode problem - Xperia SP

Hi guys, got a slight problem with entering fastboot mode. I hold the volume-up key and connect me USB cable but rather than getting the noise verifying it's been connected ok, I get that dull sound it makes when it hasn't worked. It won't even let me install the drivers and in device manager it comes up as "S1boot Fastboot" for a few seconds before then going into battery charging mode. I downloaded the Android SDK latest and replaced the USB driver INF file with the one sony give you but it didn't work so reversed back to the other driver the SDK manager installs and that didn't work either.
I've been through the tutorials and even tried to update the driver in device manager in the few seconds it stays there but that didn't work either! USB debugging is enabled too!
Please help, I'm not a noob and have done fastboot booting before and yes for those who may ask have already checked to make sure the bootloader can be unlocked and yes it can also the phone is NOT branded and is unlocked to all networks.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
Dave.

Are you on Windows 8? Using USB 3.0?
"As your flesh bears the sigil....your name is that....of a recusant."

First be sure you're using a 2.0 usb port, if this is ok maybe it's a windows 8 driver problem, so you should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2170114. It works for me

For also fastboot and flashmode come for 5 Sec. So Make sure you prepare the file and attach the device to fastboot or flashmode when it is asked.

Still problems
I'm still working on a 2012 laptop with Windows 7 Premium installed. It's fully up to date and all the drivers are installed properly I just don't get it, I've tried everything and it's still making the noise as if it won't connect. I don't know what to do to be honest. Also yes it is USB 2.0.

Hmm...how many USB ports are being used when you're flashing the phone?

Fastboot with Xperia XP
I have the same problem, can't get it to fastboot mode.
Tried the Windows 8 zith USB 2, and also on XP machine where I was succesfully used it for a Xperia U.

m having same kind of problem i was trying to flash boot img from cm 11 but fast boot isnt recognizing my device any more.my sp is rooted bootloader unlocked.fast boot was recognizing it yesterday.please tell me what to do

What I did was use a Windows XP machine.
Couldn't get it to work on my Windows 7/8, because of the restrictions in driver signatures.

I have a similar problem. the power light lights up blue then passes into the phone starts loading mode
Sorry for bad English

The updated version (09.14) don't work properly. It doesn't enable me to go to Flashmode. Uninstalled and used the previous version and it worked as it should, no issues entering Flashmode.

i might have actually found the solution. im on the 4.3fw build version 12.1.a.1.201... in my case, my pc will automatically install the drivers for mass storage giving me no chance to update the driver to the one from sony.
you need to do step 9. and 10. if you havent done so from http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
what i did was allow developer settings and allow debugging via usb.
plug in and attempt to go in to fastboot and obviously it'll fail.
go to device manager. (control panel->hardware and sound->device manager) quickly scroll down go to other devices. you will see s1fastboot (or something like that) if you're quick enough, if not, in my case, the phone will go in to charging mode.
what i did was to disable xperia sp mass storage from disk drives category too.
right click on it and select update driver software and you will select the file you've unzipped (following step 9 and 10 sony's instructions).
after it has finished updating, unplug your usb and attempt to enter fastboot, it should work.
PS: im no expert, this solution might be out there somewhere already or it could just be a great coincidence. some of these steps might not be useful even.

Had this problem and found a funny solution: I switched my cable and the port I was using. Both Ubuntu and Windoze 7 failed on both fastboot and flash mode, even though in both the phone would charge. I grabbed a spare micro USB cable and plugged it into the front of the PC; voila. Now the phone is rooted and running the latest CM.

Need a final solution for this problem
I don't know what to do!!! The problem is this, very similar to the others mentioned above,: When i conect my xperia sp to fastboot mode, pressing volume up while plugging in usb cable, the phone led turns to blue for few seconds and than it just turns to red showing on the screen the battery image( normal charging mode)...... I' m using windows xp and a rooted xperia sp whit cm11 (for locked bootloader obviously). Just two last things:
the phone can be unlocked( I checked it) and fastboot worked the same as now with stock xperia sp firmware.
Please i need a final and a certain solution for this problem!!!
i'll be very thankful to anyone who give me a hand!!!!

Are you trying to unlock your phone?
Have you installed device specific/fastboot/flashmode drivers via FlashTool? If you are on Windows 8/8.1, you need to disable driver verification to get it done.
Alternatively if you just wanna unlock your bootloader, you can use the BLU option in FlashTool. Again all drivers will need to be properly installed for your phone to be detected correctly.
You say you had the same problem with stock firmware which means you probably haven't setup adb/fastboot properly on your PC. Does your phone get detected correctly in Device Manager? Have you tried installing drivers via Device Manager?

....
So the solution is installing flashtool and installato drivers via Emma?? Thanks forma the attention!!

I meant install drivers via FlashTool. Go to C:\Flashtool\drivers or wherever you have installed Flashtool and run the Flashtool-drivers.exe.
Select flashmode drivers, fastboot drivers and common drivers viskan board (SP drivers) and install them. Like I said if you are on Win 8/8.1, you will have to disable driver signature enforcement. Just look it up in YouTube and follow a tutorial.

[Q] Motorola logo freeze

Hi Guys!
I was just regular using my phone for the last few months and then suddenly yesterday it decided to get crazy. First the green light was blinking and I couldn't acess my cellphone, so I rebooted and then it all started.
It stops at the Motorola logo.
I can acess the fastboo flash mode, tried to factory reset or either recovery, but once again stops at the same motorola screen
If I turn if off, I can see the charging status of the phone.
I know nothing about flashing, I've looked around and my XT890 it's a retail version, but I don't know what to download and such. And the worst case is that I'm traveling around US and I'll be here for anothers 12 days and I really need my cellphone back.

You can restore it easily with RSD Lite.
Just download it here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/vYYHCwBj/RSDLite57.html
And then download a factory image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
(Select the one you find appropiate)
Make sure you have the Moto drivers installed, your bootloader is unlocked and then install RSD Lite and extract the image somewhere.
Connect your phone in fastboot, open RSD Lite, and in filename browse to the folder whre you extracted the image and select the .xml file in it.
Then press start and wait.

And it's the fastest and best way for doing it, and void the warranty, right?

Still I can't connect withing the RSD. My cellphone is connected, I can see it in the fastload screen
"USB connected", but can't get it to be shown in the "Show device" in RSD. What can I do now?

I intalled and uninstalled to see if changed anything. It seems that it doesn't work.

I don't think so. My Windows 8.1 x64 works fine.
Have you tried different usb ports? That made a difference for me once.

Yes I did, when It's charging and not in Fastboot, it shows up in the computer connected to de USB. When I change to the fastboot it doesn't show as connected. Even though I can use the cmd to work things out, but can't use it to flash it.

So, it works in a weird way all of them.
Those are the pictures of the connected cellphone, when it's in fastboot it shows as fastboot. When it's charging shows as XT890.

Start the phone i nfastboot then try the command "fastboot devices"
Send me a screen. Your PC doesnt seem to recognize the device very well.

I'll try to get a different computer tro try it, but so far no success

Try to put your ADB and Ri files to C:\"your foldername". It could be that there are problems when the files are in your user-accounts folders.
Did you already tried to connect with USB on the backside of your PC? Frontside are mostly hubs which could cause trouble.

[Q] Moto X bricked?

So I was going through the rooting process for the second time on my ATT Moto X and while in bootloader flashing 4.2.2 something went wrong and it wasn't fully flashed. There was no error, it just said "Done" on bootloader. So I restarted the phone and ever since then the phone has had a black screen, although when I plug it into my computer it recognizes it. With that said, I've tried to use RSD Lite but it just fails to put it into fastboot mode, and it does not come up under either fastboot devices or adb devices.
Not sure what else I could do from here. Holding the power button and volume down button to get into bootloader doesn't work either. Does anyone here have any ideas?

Can you clarify a few things?
First, have you been on 4.2.2 this entire time, or were you attempting to 'downgrade'?
Next, when you "turn on" the device, you say it has a black screen...does it light up at all, or vibrate?
And third, when you say the device is 'recognized' by the PC, how is it recognized? When you go to Device Manager, do you see a listing for "qhsusb_bulk"? If not, what is the device listed as?

Sorry I didn't specify those things in the original post, but I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
I was originally on 4.4 and was in the process of downgrading to 4.2.2 post-camera.
The phone does not light up or vibrate or anything, but I can hear it connect on my computer. Not that this is the computer making the sound, not the phone.
And third, my phone comes up as a listing on RSD Lite v6.5.1. It does not provide any information, it just says it is connected. My device is listed as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)"

OK, I understand. There may be hope for you but it will require patience and exacting precision. Don't get your hopes up TOO much, but I will attempt to help you.
Normally, it is NOT possible to downgrade, but (thankfully) 4.4 > 4.2.2 Post-Camera is the one exception.
First, I realize that RSD Lite shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)", but I need you to open Device Manager and tell me what it says in there. If you aren't familiar with how to get there, simply press the start button, and type 'device manager' (without quotes, of course). It should show up under "Control Panel", assuming you are on Windows 7.
Also, tell me for sure which version of Windows your PC is running.
Then we can proceed further.

"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)" is from Device Manager. RSDLite simply lists the model as "QHSUB_DLOAD"
I am running Windows 8.1 64bit

Ah, OK. This is good news.... "QHUSB_DLOAD"
Basically, you have somehow corrupted your bootloader.
Please reference this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49876179&postcount=1
If you follow the instructions exactly, we should be able to force your phone into fastboot mode. From there, we can manually flash back to 4.4
Remember, there are no guarantees with this, and I don't even know if it has been attempted or is possible in Windows 8. So if you aren't successful, get your hands on a Windows 7 PC, and try again.
If you get stuck, post back here and I will attempt to help.

Sweet man, I really appreciate your help. I'll try all of that and report back here when done. Thank you again.

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

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..

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.
