I will describe what programs showing because i have polish version and maybe you can't understand them:
When i'm trying to connect to pc companion when pc recognise phone i'm geting message PC companion could not connect with device disconnect device and try again
When trying do sof/hard reset nothing happens
When trying to pull in fastboot or flash mode pc recognise phone always the same in conrtol panel ZEUS FLASH device pc also recognise in thisa mode without battery and without pushing any buttons but i'm not geting any led Green or blue only when i'm conecting charger or usb cable WITHOUT battery it blinks red ones
When i'm trying to flash with flashtool or original update service when program is on screen asking me to connect the device i plug usb pc recognising the phone (usb connected device sound) but program doesn't start to flash or even recognise
i have also setool when i'm trying to flash by setool when program is waiting for device connecting bar is moving on down side of window when i connect the phone it is stoping like it tries to connect but nothing happens....
i was thinking to try this but i have cheked battery voltage and it is 3,88 so i thing it is fully charged:
Here are the steps I took successfully revise my phone from soft brick.
Let the phone charge (long long time = 4+ hrs) on wall charger.
Red light on (constantly - not flashing) - charge until red light off (again very long time =16+ hrs)
Unplug from wall
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode
While hold volumn down and plug in USB
Red light will be back on, after a few seconds - flash will run.
Unplug USB then power on - phone will boot and die (it's okay don't worry)
Charge the phone again - after a while (or let it charge full), you can now turn on the phone.
That is all ... Back and running.
GOOD Luck.
Timing = could be different from phone to phone - depends on battery of the phone before it dead.
please do you have any idea? for me it hangs in some kind of boot mode and i don't know how to kick it fromthis and reflash if any screens can help please tell me i will do them

I forgot to add when i'm doing test point to unlock for example ARC it is also recognised as ZEUS Flash so i thing it stays in some king of boot mode but there is no information in the net how to kick it out or even do jtag because i can doit also but i think it is not supported yet
You have an xperia T, then how can you connect the phone to the PC WITHOUT a battery? It is not removable in the Xperia T!
Have you flashed anything to the device before this happened?
EDIT
Run flashtool from PC and run flash .111 until it asks to put phone in flashmode

Which firmware is .111? I dont beleive there has ever been a .111 firmware for the T? Can you give me the post you found that in and the download link, thanks

i disassemble the back cover it's very simple the battery connector is on the flex cable i know what i'm talking if you want i can send pics i'am using flashifile LT30p_7.0.A.1.303_CH the most important think that no program is detecting the phone only pc recognising the phone

OK,
Yes thats true but it sounds similar to a problem I have come across before. But this happened when someone flashed the S1 update on the TX instead of the T.
Have you unistalled evrything android/sdk/adb related from your computer and started again.
Also, you can try another machine.
Are you on win8? That has issues with drivers from Sony.

Yes, it sounds like your friend has done something silly to the phone. Untill we know exactly what he did, and what he tried to flash we are just guessing...

I dont know where testpoint is on xperia T as we have never been down that road here.
Has he tried to use EMMA to flash something? That is meant only for unlocked bootloaders, maybe he has messed up with that, but I am onl guessing here and i cant really see why that would do anything to the boot...
Maybe he tried to flash it, dropped it, broke it, and thinks a software hack can help him....

Hi,
I wanted to flash stock lollipop ROM on my QMobile Android one for some reason using sp flash tool but it's not working for me.
When I click the download button and then pull off the battery of my phone then connect the USB cable with PC and put the battery back in, it doesn't start downloading,,,I have both drivers installed in my PC (sp flash tool drivers) and (Google use drivers).
Can you guys tell me how to get this problem solved.. As far as I'm concerned the phone is not getting into download mode and I think that's the reading why it's not starts the flashing process...
Thanks in advance for helping..
Do in this way; 1) Disconnect usb cable from the phone end while other end remain connected to PC
2) pull off battery from the phone for atleast 20 seconds.
3) Switch on download software mode through sp flash tool
4) Insert battery in phone and then connect usb cable to phone. Also press volume up or volume down button of your mobile so that it is detected by PC
Hopefully it will work
Thanks for the reply but I have figured out the problem..
The issue is caused by incorrect drivers Mediatek preloader vcom drivers are missing from my system so I installed those drivers and it starts downloading immediately....:good:
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.
Hi Guys,
I got given a bricked X Performance (dalvik and internal archive have been deleted) and the only feedback from the phone is when I press On+VolUp, after 3 vibrations the phone boots but it freezes on the white start SONY screen. I tried different combination of starting buttons but that's the only reaction I get back from the phone.
Sony xperia companion from the PC is not detecting any device.
I was wondering if I can try to connect using any software (which one?) trying to fastboot or enter flashmode and maybe fix somehow, can you suggest me where/which software and drivers to install in my PC?
Also, I red on the net that an extreme fix could be a hardbrick reset using testpoints, but again, I couldn't find any info in internet where are the contacts inside the phone to be used as testpoints, any clue/suggestion please?
Thanks a lot
Giulia
See if you can connect to Flash tool and reset/reinstall it: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/
