XPERIA - Z, FLASH MODE detects - QHSUSB_DLOAD, Unable to Flash

Hi XP- Z users/Developers
I am using wonderful Flashtool latest version and install the drivers for the same.
My XPERIA-Z is C6603 US version with locked Bootloader.
To go in Flash mode using Volume DN + Cable to PC, my WIN7 detects the XP-Z as QHSUSB_DLOAD, and Flashtool doesnt detect it as flashmode.
After researching for hours I learned GordonGate Flash Drivers would instantiate the FlashMode USB composition, but I am not sure which driver to load.
If I try mannually pointing the driver to QHSUSB_DLOAD with Gordon-gate Drivers it gives following ceritified drivers,
a) Generic FLash Device
b) SEMC AB900 Device
c) SEMC Flash Device
d) SEMC ETS/DFU etc etc device
I tried all but none of them worked, hence its stucked at QHSUSB_DLOAD Qualcomm Mode driver and FLash tool doesnt work.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Android 4.1.1 and kernel 3.4
Thanks

Download sony service update it has all the drivers needed.

Thanks, can someone send the link?

I tried service update, its still not able to detect the QHSUSB_DLOAD Driver to ccorressponding SONY drivers, can someone post which is the driver SONY use for the flash mode, what its instantiated as? Currently its showing standard Qualcomm D Loader i.e used for OEM for flahmode, hence we need the right equivalent VID and PID which Sony uses for Qualcomm D Loader api for APQ-8064 Chip

Any update ???? i run into exactly same problem with my Xperia V (LT25i)..... help will be appreciated.

Maybe try another pc?Windows7

I am also looking for the right driver, why isn't win7 detecting it, which should i force onto the unknow device? All i tried so far didnt work.

[Q] Xperia T stuck at device encryption failed

Hello everyone!
My Xperia T LT30P is stuck at "device encrytion failed please reset" everytime I turn it on. The "Reset Device" button on this screen doesn't do anything when tapped.
I tried to flash 7.0.A-Global firmware via Flashtool but it always gets stuck here at 0%:
21/009/2013 12:09:46 - INFO - Loader : S1_Root_7054 - Version : R5F001 / Bootloader status : ROOTABLE
Is there anything else I should try?
Thanks a lot for reading.

flash a latest version of JB,
or better yet, install PCCompanion (Just google it) and repair your phone that way

did you try Phone Repair option in PC Companion?

Thanks for your replies.
I have also tried LT30p_9.1.A.1.140_CE_Skyfall.ftf but same result. I have also tried different versions of flashtool.
PC Companion can't detect my phone. I have tried 2 different computers and each one is stuck on install MTP drivers. I guess unless the drivers are installed, PC companion won't detect it.
I have also tried connecting the phone in flash mode but PC companion asks to restart the phone in normal mode.

run the driver.exe file in the flashtool installation folder.
choose fastboot, flashmode and tx drivers
try again with pccompanion

PC companion still can't detect the phone. I have installed/re-installed all the drivers you mentioned.
As Flashtool isn't able to flash the .ftf firmware to the phone, is there any other firmware available that can be flashed via fastboot?

No.
Try downloading Sony's EMMA program and repairing with that

Thanks for your suggestion.
Seems like EMMA only works with unlocked bootloaders. And my Xperia T can't be unlocked as USB debugging is off and there is no way I can turn it back on.
Further help needed, please.

Emma issues

Hey chaps,
I'm having a spot of trouble with Emma, I'm afraid.
I've followed the bootloader unlocking steps, the fastboot driver is where it ought to be.
My machine is displaying the phone when in flash mode as "SOMC Flash Device". Can't uninstall the drivers, can't update them with the fastboot driver as it's shown.
As a result, (assuming I haven't missed things or mixed it all up like a twat) Emma isn't identifying my phone. I'm connecting it in flash mode of course, I'm getting nothing.
Any ideas what could be the trouble?

what are you trying to do?

Flash a sony build

why are you using emma and not the Flashtool ?

Tried that too, connected in flash mode and keep getting errors.
At this point I'm thinking it's a driver issue, but for the life of me I can't fix it.
Really unsure where to go from here.

just some thoughts
1. try to download and install ADB driver if you haven't already.
2. try connecting the phone to a different usb port [sounds incredibly stupid, but it does work sometimes].
3. [assuming you're using windows] while the phone is connected, go to the device manager, look for phone [presumably under android device or sony] and uninstall the driver.
what kind of errors are you getting using the flashtool?

3. Yeah I've done that. When it's connected in flash mode, it's detected as S1 Service (SOMC Flash Device). I'm fairly sure that's where the trouble lays, but everytime I try to uninstall the drivers to prepare installing the "correct" ones, the system hangs and I'm forced to hard reset.
Literally just says:
INFO - Checking header
INFO - Ending flash session
ERROR -
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
INFO - Device connected in flash mode

The drivers are there in the flashtool folder. Install the flashmode and fastboot mode drivers from there and then try connecting your phone into flashmode as a trial. If you see it connects, then proceed to flash the firmware

Could you please tell which sony build you are trying to flash?
I think you are flashing a wrong rom..

Alright I'm fairly convinced I'm just a dumbass. I haven't switched roms on a phone since my S3.
So far all I've done is unlock the bootloader, following the instructions from the sony dev video.
I've got a D5833, running 23.0.1.A.1.49 build. Doesn't seem to be any further updates OTA or through PC companion.
Flashtool and drivers are installed. ADB as well.
I haven't got CWM or anything running on it thus far, and I'm suspecting that that might be the problem.

Hi ZervZ,
First off, are you sure you have the proper usb drivers installed ?
also make sure to end any running adb connections by other software, ie: if you have bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator, make sure to close it completely and end the adb process using task manager (just to avoid any conflicts)
third, how do you boot in fastboot mode ?
it should be : completely turn off your device, connect the usb cable to the PC usb port (not the mobile yet), now press and keep holding the volume down key, while holding the volume down connect the micro usb to the device and continue holding the volume down key.
If this wasn't what you were doing, try it out and let me know what happend.

I'm surely a usb driver are properly installed. Every device but my phone work properly.
For flashtool drivers. Firstly, I've try installed only my device and flashmode+fastboot drivers = not working
then installed all driver that driver pack delivered = not working too. (both install with driver signing off, all green)
I'm not using or even installed any android emulator on my pc. only one program that I aware of conflict with flashtool is sony pc companion, which I'm not open it at all.
how I get in fastboot, same method as you provide but I used vol up, vol down for flashmode .(neither working with flashtool, even I've a blue led on, they still shown Ive connected in flashmode)
Now I'm try to uninstall a semc flash device driver and s1 service.
I think its a source of my problem, but problem is I can't. haha.
Might be need reinstall my windows
Edit: After I've restore my windows to the point before Ive install any drivers. Problem still persist, now its get worst, because pcc shown Ive connected sony device all the time .(same with flashtool.)

have you installed the drivers for ZR itself? when u installed Flashmode and fastboot drivers, u must have missed to tick the drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board which are for ZR. reinstall all 3 I mentioned above and see if it works,
Also what version of flashtool are ou using? I am using 9.13 for my ZR which is recommended by the dev for first Z series phones. u may want to consider that as well

Well, yes I installed Lagan board on my my 1st try. Its wasn't work.
Then I just installed all of them, still wont work. Or even no driver installed from driver package. (only flashtool and connect my phone) that wont work too.
Same problem, but it can connected on 1st try, if I try to flash anything they will error and stay connected in flashmode again (Until I uninstalled a driver & reboot my pc)
As I said, flashtool 0.9.18 since its a latest version, might try 0.9.13 :good:
And.. I cant repair my phone via pcc too. Since they need to get in flashmode :crying:

have u tried http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ?
Bootloader is unlocked so you can not repair using PCC

read in above post about bluestacks, genymotion or any other android emulator,
May be thats the reason why flashtool always showing connected in flashmode, even though u have not connected the device
check and remove everything using adb.
formatting pc is last option :good:

ZervZ, I'm glad that you've solved your issue.

Can't flash preloader with SP Flash

I'm trying to unbrick a Lenovo K3 Note. Mediatek USB appears in device manager on Windows PC, but SP flash can't see the phone to flash preloader. The drivers are OK, because I have already flashed similar phones on the same PC.
I have also tried on the Linux PC. which I regularly use for flashing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
