So i want my original rom back and i want to use the SmartFLash method .
i did everything but when i plug the phone the com port is not filled ... what can i do ?
i tried to do the operation from another pc with APX driver but it was the same
any solutions?
CHEERS
did you hold the volume down button while plugging the usb cable into the mobile phone? did the pc report any usb device plugged in and what was going on with the mobiles display, did it show s/w updating or just the logo?

i hold vol down , the pc didn't report any usb device but the s/w updating it was showing on my display ... when the phone was plugged I entered in device manager and i saw something like : Others devices : Unknown device ...
did you install the apx drivers?
when i hold vol down and i plug usb the APX didn't appear. when i hold vol down + up and plug usb the apx driver appears and i installed it but let me say something
my current version is P999 and in SmartFlash it is saying : version p990
is this a problem ?
the problem is you cant install stuff from a p999 on a p990, tho the phone itself is the same, the partitions are different, if you succeeed in flashing your phone never try that again, at least thru nvflash, as soon as you get your phone going my advice is never flash anything if it isnt with cwm...
as for flashing it, as i told you the same thing happened to me, and i had to flash it from another pc, it wasnt easy tho because i had to insist lots and lots of times auntil i finaly succeeded because the phone wasnt recognised and or failed to flash most times
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?

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.
Hello people
I'm new here, in terms of asking questions and seeking help
I have the LG Optimus P970
A few days ago I made the update to ICS, and by proceeding with this page, hackmyandroid.com/optimus-black-p970-official-ics-update/3299
After that, not impossible to connect the phone to a PC, even the software update mode, it can not recognize, anyway to connect it just throws a slow charging.
Is there someone who knows what it is.
I'd love to go back to the old software, but there is no way to detect it pc
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance
I forgot to say, before the update, and my computer still recognize the phone, connecting it over sony usb cable, now it is no longer recognized by the Sony USB cable, and I do not have original LG USB cable.
Perhaps this is the reason why a computer will not recognize the phone

I have the original cable, but still the same problem.
I have all drivers installed, I can transfer files between the phone and the pc, I can use the LG suite,
But I can't see my phone on the ADB console, I can't use smartflashtool cause the phone isn't recoginized.
yesterday I tried with lg cable, and wall charger, in both cases, said slow charging the battery, I tried on three different computers, I tried to reinstall the drivers, like the software blocked communication with the phone, just charge the battery.
If there was a way to put the software through SD card, it might solve the problem.
even the software update mode, the computer does not see the phone
Bro! For the softwaretool like smartflash, You need to boot into download mode i.e., You need to switch off the phone, plug in the USB cable connected to the PC and instantly press the volume up button. Then the tool will recognise Your phone. Try it and check once!
I tried it, nothing happens,
I go to download mode, but computer does not recognize it again
behaves as if the port is destroyed

Try to boot your PC with disabled driver signatures, or use a 32bit windows system.
try entering download-mode the following way:
disconnect your phone from pc
remove battery
press and hold Vol-up
connect the usb-cable (still without battery)
Now the phone should be detected as a serial-cable device an you can use the smart flash tool.
would have to be sound,
no sound when I connect the phone to the PC
Solved my problem.
Seems like windows automatically installs driver to the phone, but it partially works.
Unistall all drivers for the phone, or try on a new computer.
Plug the phone and cancel the driver search by windows
Install drivers for LG (unplug the phone before)
Turn it off
Plug the cable and enter download mode
And there is the phone recognized on smartflashtool.
I'm flashing a new one right now, thank you.
You do not understand the problem
there's no sign, no sound when I connect the phone to a computer, any computer, drivers were or were not.
As if something in the phone blocked communication between the PC and phone

Connection Problem with Mackay 2.999
Hey Guys,
first of all, sorry for my not so good English
I'am at Mackay 2.999 with last Kernel of his build and can't connect the Phone to the Computer.
It only install the LGE Mobile Composite USB Device, the LGE Mobile USB Serial Port and the LGE Mobile USB Modem on connecting to the Workstation.
I had test it on many Computers but the Problem is all the same: I can't get on my Memory or ADB.
I also had testet all modes under the setting point (MTP/PTP/mass storage device) and with debbuging on and off.
On my Workstation is the Last Version of ADB (1.0.31) installed.
Did anyone know the problem?
Did no one know a result to this problem
Hmmm my PC also can't read my storage what I did is go to cwm and plugged in usb cable and pressed mount storage it seems to solve my problem. I also did a cache and dalvik cache wipe.
Hey, I have found the result to this problem. You must flash another Baseband. Use from Nooby the V30 Baseband and it is solved.

lg optimus
hi frendz ,
please help me out
i'm using lg optimus p970..last night my phone memory get full and mobile get turn off ..now it wont turn on even battery is fully charged...only LG logo shows nithing else...
Hy guys , i have the same problem . I updated to 4.4.2 Nameless ROM and i can't connect my phone to pc . The only action that it's done : charging the phone and that's all . I tried connecting to another pc but with no result . An error appeared :" LGE USB Device - No driver found " .Before 4.4.2 i had 4.1.2 from CyanogenMod and with that ROM i had no problem connecting the phone to the pc . Any help ?
Hello to all,
I would like to install a custom ROM but unfortunately my phone doesn't want to enter in flash mode! Once switched off, I plug it to my computer while keeping vol down button pressed but instead of entering in flash mode, it displays the battery charging icon.
I hard reset the phone but the problem still remains. Any idea.
Thanks, have a nice day!
My guess is either the USB cable (did you use the OEM cable?) or the drivers (does windows recognize your phone?). Removing the SD card or first entering recovery were suggested earlier (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/update-volume-connect-doesnt-t2613733). But more experiences Z3c owners may have better ideas...

Using flashtool:
Turn phone off completely.
Start flashtool, choose flashmode and choose which firmware you are going to use. Tick Exclude TA.. Click on flash.
It will start preparing the build and after a few seconds it will ask you to connect the phone.
Plug the phone in while holding volume down, as soon as flashtool starts doing something, you can let go.
If you don't know how to use flashtool then I urge caution, Sony's aren't like flashing a Samsung, it is actually possible to brick your phone with flashtool. There are lots of questions on 'how do I fix my phone?' in this Q&A thread from people who didn't read up on what they were doing.
Recommend you read bilboa1's great guide on what to do, starting with backing up your TA partition..
Thanks for your answers but I think the mini usb from my phone must be dead.
About Flashtool, I can't use it because I can't go into Flash mode! Moreover, my phone is not recognized by windows. I tried with several usb cables and computers when I plug it, I don't have any MTP or PTP choice, it can only charge..
On Windows 10, devices is not recognized and Window 7 see it as a 5880!
And I tried to remove SD and SIM cards..

If the USB lead was dead you wouldn't get the charging icon on your phone.
Have you installed the Sony drivers.
You also need to run exe in the Drivers folder within Flashtool, to make sure you have correct flashomde drivers available. Installing these drivers is very difficult in Windows 10 and it require restarting the machine in safe mode, and going into the advanced settings to disable driver signature checking, this how to video is for windows 8, but you'll get the idea
Have you installed ADB?
Sonys PC Companion should set you up with the correct connection to your PC
Have you tried other USB cables?

Yes, I've installed PC Companion, adb drivers but nothing appears when I use command "adb devices". I've also installed flashtools drivers but deactivating drivers signatures in Windows. But when I try to flash, flashtool ask me to turn my device in flash mode (switch off then volume down + power) but I can't do that.
I've tried several usb cables. Some are charging my devices, some are aren't but none of them allows me to data transfer!
I've also tried to force MTP or PTP usb transfer in developper option, it doesn't work more..

Do you have any warranty on your phone, you could be right that the usb socket is damaged somehow, but it's strange that you can still get a charge through it.
Your only chance at moving to a custom rom change is flashfire
This should let you flash a rom without recovery.
Edit: Flashmode is just holding down just - volume button, not volume+power
Obviously your chances of rescuing a failed install are going to almost zero without recovery and flashtool, so be very very careful about what you try and flash in flashfire. Read up completely that the rom you want to flash is going to work pushed on top of whatever you are running at the moment.
For anyone who might be interested, sometimes you have to try a USB 2.0 port or just a different port. I had the same problem while using a usb 3 port, switched to 2.0 worked like a charm.
Try to open the back of the phone and removing/unplugging the battery wait 5 seconds and then put it in again. Then try holding down the volume down button while you connect a usb cable.

Good evening everyone!
I need help so bad, so urgent!
It was happen when i try to install TWRP on my SONY Xperia SP using an amazing stupid way, using flash boot command coz i cant install twrp using flash recovery command, but i dont know why that fastboot take so long time and just display <waiting for device>. So i decided to remove my USB and plug it once again. Suddenly, my laptop show a notif. "USB not recognized" and the blue LED is gone, then SONY logo appear and start to charging and u can hear connect-"Not recognized"-and disconnect sounds from laptop. But, when the display turn off, it's turn on again, and 5 seconds later u can hear disconnected sounds, then charging stopped. Few later, the logo come again and charging again, and the same thing happend. When i try to charge from the wall charger, it can charging normally, but I CAN'T TURN THE PHONE ON. It's like the power button has been disabled. So i unplug the charger and turn my XSP on, it can boot normally. But when i try to connect to charger, it wont charging. So on my laptop, even my laptop didnt notice any USB, and my XSP didn't show any LED.
Help me to fix this. I can't charge my phone except to turn it off T_T. Pls give me a way out T_T.
Status: Installed AOSP Oreo 8.0.0 huashan, not rooted and no cwm/twrp (this is what i need to install, so i can root my phone, the latest cwm i installed gone after flashing AOSP ROM), cant connect to any USB even in fastboot mode (i've installed the driver).
seems like you got dust in your usb port , it happened to me once , i freaked out real bad. just try clearing it with some needle or stuff , also you might wanna use emma to revert your phone back to its original stock firmware.

what's emma? how to use that?
it's a sony developer tool. You can use it to install original os on your phone , you just need a pc and internet connection , here
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andr...ony-Flash-tool-for-Xperia-devices/td-p/307318
Also , just save the customization file and delete the rest , download emma sony flash tool from google ( latest version ) copy the customization file after installing it.
After it completes install , run it and wait for it to open , it may take some time during its first run.
Now plug in ur phone , while holding volume down button , you should see green light on bottom , that indicates you're on recovery mode or flashmode. The Emma tool will detect device and start installing original firmware on it.

that was my problem. when i plug my phone in fastboot or bootloader, pc wont detect it, it says "USB not recognized". also when my phone is standby, it wont detect any usb i plugged in, wall charger or usb pc.
i've installed latest driver for XSP, and USB debugging's on.
have you read my first comment? , clear your phone's usb slot and then try replugging , if it fails try it on a different computer , the problems usually with windows 10 as it loses recognizing devices after some fail attempts.
