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!

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 there guys!
i recently bought my xperia sp and got the .245 official update from pc companion!
now i followed doomlord's and jackaros' guide on rooting the .245 but i have some issues..
so..using the flashtool i can flash both the .257 an the .245 kernels provided successfully!
but when i turn on debuging mode and unknown surces and connect the phone to the pc windows' utility cant find any drivers! even i install manually the google's usb drivers from sdk tools my phone will be recognised as Android Composite ADB Interface..but if i dont it gets recognised as c5303(with a yellow exclamation mark)(the debug mode is always on!)
also tried rebooting pc and phone..drivers update..still nothing..the command adb devices show up an empty list and the rooting toolkit stucks on *daemon started successfully*
any suggestions?
thanks in advance!
Same thing happened with me, but i think this is more Flashtool + Windows issue with .245 firmware then USB problem. Just because i did flashing using SUS, PC companion and Flashtool Linux client.

I have deleted your duplicate Q&A thread.
Installing Sony's PC Companion will automatically install ADB drivers.
Just download it from the Sony site and install it, then just connect your phone (while it is on) and the drivers should be installed.
Also FlashTool will also install the proper drivers.
Just remember to reboot your PC after install.
And only have 1 program using ADB open at 1 time.
Meaning that if PC Companion is running, it will interfere with flashtool working. They both connect via ADB and only ONE can be connected.
I hope it helps

just to cover the basics is USB Debugging is checked on the device?
And neither PC Companion or flashtools see the device?
Make sure there are no entries for sony in the usb section of the device manager in windows.
If you find some just right click and uninstall
I just found this [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.1

i did this yesterday.
downgrade to 534 via flashtool with firmware from here. you can do this without unlocking your bootloader. ta partition will be intact. data will be gone however...
then use kingoroot to root your phone (or whatever you like) and backup your ta-partition. for this you need working adb drivers...
i did the trick with this tool. i've installed the tool, the tool has installed the right adb drivers and then i've removed it. working on win 7 64 bit ultimate
after that you can use this procedure to get a rooted 4.3 firmware.
worked fine for me
really thanks for your reply ill try it today
you are really genius you saved ma day
ive been looking for this **** 3 days and the pdanet saved my ass tanks alot

I read something on google but i forgot how to do it exactly :s Tried reinstall with pc companion? Though I don't know if that would work and I don't want to be responsible for bricking ur phone :/ So i guess google "Xperia SP bootloop" :s

Have you tried to connect to pc, and type adb reboot recovery (with adb installed on pc)?
Firstly download and install minimal adb
Download doomlord's adb drivers..
Then if on windows 8
Disable driver signature enforcement and then install the adb drivers in doomlord's thread.
(Fast boot drivers, flashmode drivers and viskan drivers)
Then extract boot.img of your favourite ROM (which has a recovery) and copy paste it in the folder where you installed minimal adb.
First connect the USB cable to the PC.
Restart your phone by hard reset and as soon as it shows Sony logo, keep pressing power button plus volume down.
Now a blue light will be coming.
Then
Hold shift and right click there and open command promt here..
Make sure the blue light is still there in the illumination bar and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will install a new boot.img which has a recovery
And then restart
Then go into recovery and flash your favourite ROM...
Hope I helped..
This method worked for me many times...
I had rooted my device using Kingo Root but root access was useless for me so I Unrooted my device using Kingo Root . It successfully Unrooted my device
then i tried manually deleting using file Explorer
(/system/xbin: daemonsu) & (/system/xbin: supolicy) but could not delete either and this all Started.
After rebooting my device it does not pass the Sony Xperia Logo Screen. it Keeps on looping the Sony Xperia logo.
The following steps I have tried but no success.
1. Removing battery for more than hr
2. Tried to boot in recovery mode(Power + volume down) but it does not get to recovery screen instead it goes to the Logo screen and keep looping.
3. connected to computer but due to looping computer does not detect my device.
4. I have downloaded Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde Flashtool Version 0.9.22.3
I tried connecting mobile using Fastboot mode it is detected by the program.
I tried connecting it using flashmode it is still detected but i dont know what to do with this program.
Is it possible to recover my phone, Any help will be appreciated
counting on you guyz :fingers-crossed:
I'm New to Root N other stuff but have some sound knowledge of using tools/Software.
sorry if I have posted in wrong place and for my bad english. :angel:
Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not I've just had the same problem (C6603) and phone is being restored using Sony Companion software (Google search). While running on pc, switch off phone and connect by USB whilst holding down just the volume down key. Need your Google account details - essential, otherwise risk bricking your phone, and it'll erase everything on the phone and give you latest unrooted Sony software for your phone. Good luck.
