I have an XZ1C that I seemed to have damaged the bootloader during a flashing operation.
I have a working OS and can reboot the device with adb without problems via an "adb reboot bootloader" call.
When the device comes back, I'm unable to install the device drivers since the USB IDs are different than are supported from the regular XZ1C driver. My device is reporting as VID 0FCE PID 0DDE. This still seems like an Xperia IDE, but the ID is not supported from the regular Xperia driver.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can reflash the proper bootloader, or have pointers to a specific driver that might work given the odd mode that I've managed to mangle my XZ1C into?
Much thanks!
I didn't understand, what you mean with I can reboot the device via adb....
From my personal view : if the bootloader is broken, no connection via adb could be possible, no fastboot is possible and so on....
Maybe I'm wrong?
If the device is available, is the USB debugging in the Dev menu and OEM unlock enabled? Could you accept the fingerprint?
The VID/PID combo of 0FCE:0DDE is the fastboot device identifier.
If you're trying to get to flash mode, the procedure is to:
- Disconnect the phone from USB.
- Power off the phone.
- Hold the Vol-Down button.
- While holding Vol-Down, connect the phone to your computer via USB.
This will activate flash mode with a VID/PID of 0FCE:B00B.
You can tell the difference between the two by the color of the notification LED.
Fastboot mode has a blue notification LED, while the flash mode color is green.
Not sure I understand fully what you mean but if you're running windows, change the driver manually to Android ADB device once it's plugged in. Windows should recognize fastboot mode at that point you can flash a new boot image.

I have a Xperia SP model C5306 on Fido in Canada that I cannot for the life of me get into fastboot mode. The phone is carrier unlocked (by unlockthatphone) and I've verified it on another carrier. I have also rooted the phone with the doomlord exploit successfully.
When I hold the volume up button and plug the device into my Win 7 Pro 64 bit PC the LED goes red for a second then orange once the battery charging icon appears.
The phone seems to have no problem getting into flash mode but fastboot is a no-go.
To get into fastboot you need an UNLOCKED bootloader, it is not the same thing as a SIM unlocked phone.

Based on all of the instructions I've read fastboot is required in order TO UNLOCK the bootloader, including those from Sony. If you can't fastboot until the bootloader is unlocked how do you unlock the bootloader?
Have you a SIMLOCK? Have you became that phone from your provider?? it can be that the provider disabl the fastboot that you not can disabl the Simlock

I bought the phone from a provider but I have carrier unlocked the device through an unlock code that I bought from Unlockthatphone.com
Is that different from a Simlock?
Have you installed the drivers yet?
This phone is quite funny, it restarts after a few seconds of inactivity in Fastboot/Flash mode
Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show

I have the drivers on my PC, I downloaded the ones from Sony and replaced them in the SDK folder. I haven't got to the point where my computer asks me to install the drivers. I'll try this.
649 34535926
So when I hold down the volume up button and connect my phone to the PC via USB I see a green LED (fully charged) on the device and my device manager tells me that there is a Sony Ericsson seehcri Control Device connected. If I navigate to the Driver information of that device the driver is pointing at the Windows System 32\drivers\seehcri.sys driver.
When I try to update that driver to the Fastboot driver it says there are no 64-bit compatible drivers in that folder. Are there 64-bit drivers for fastboot?

Okay, Sony's fastboot drivers are not signed, so to install the drivers, you need to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows first.
Look here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354721
Try this method.
Install Drivers
Fastboot Mode - Blue Light - Turn phone off>Press and Hold Volume UP button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the blue light.
Flash Mode - Green Light - Turn phone off> Press and Hold Volume DOWN button while plugging in USB Cable> Release the button (from being held) after the green light.
Common problem is it doesn't stay too long on specific mode
You will need drivers try downloading Xperia Z driver here - http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-driver/
(Optional in case you can't Install the driver correctly)
Install Driver first
1.Extract the downloaded file. (If it is in Zip file) in a place where you can easily locate it.
2.Connect your phone (turned on) to your computer
3. Assuming that you have My Computer Icon on your desktop.. Right Click it > Manage> Device Manager (Located at the left tab) > Android Phone> android ADB interface > Right click> Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for the driver software and locate where you put the XZ driver.
4.Done!.
It worked for me, hope it will work for you, too.
Guys, you can correct me if I am wrong..

My major problem is that i never get a blue light when I hold down the volume up and plug it in. My computer makes that sound like a uSB device had been unplugged in a couple seconds.
Also, I download the drivers, and with the device powered on, plug it into the PC. What I see in the Device manager is Sony sa0108 ADB Interface Driver. If I disable adb on the device I get nothing in the device manager.
Flashtool will not allow me to do the adb fastboot reboot either.
This is extremely frustrating!
formerly rooted H811. I unrooted with supersu and attempted to relock the bootloader. But It didn't take. It appears to be in some in between galaxy.
I get into fastboot, but "fastboot devices" comes up empty.
Would like to lock to update to 20X. No PC, only Mac.
LG Bridge sees USB, but not phone.
Help appreciated.
You do realize locking the bootloader will perform factory reset and wipe your data. Are you trying fastboot through MAC, not sure how it is different from PC so if that is causing the issue can't help much.
Is usb debugging enabled, and you have given permission in the pop-up that pops up on phone screen when you connect it to MAC/Computer the very first time? It is possible you missed that permission pop-up the first time and now permission is denied permanently. You may wanna uninstall and reinstall LG driver/device, connect phone again, and look for that permission pop-up on phone screen and allow it. Try connecting usb cable in different usb port too, that might make the pop-up appear again. Also, remember if bootloader is altered or you got custom recovery, phone will possibly soft brick and you will need to use LG Bridge or LG UP with phone in download mode to reflash kdz. Hope this helps.
Edit: For the permission pop-up to show, the phone needs to be turned on, be in mtp mode, and usb debugging to be enabled. Then once you have given permission, you use adb command to reboot into bootloader or i think with phone off, hold the volume down button while you connect to usb cable and not let go of the volume down button till phone is in fastboot menu.
Hello,
I was on 10.0.7 version, rooted with magisk.
I had error while installing 10.0.8 version, then I downloaded 10.0.7 full rom, and used flash_all_except_data.bat.
Then after rebooting, it runs infinitely on loading animation (colors bar).
When I enter in fastboot, fastboot logo is displayed, but pc doesn't recognize phone anymore (fastboot devices show nothing).
[UPDATE]
I managed to boot with wiping data from recovery (Xiaomi stock recovery).
Now I can use the phone, but I don't have wifi (maybe something messed with vendor).
And I can't flash it because it is not recognized in fastboot mode (tried 3 W10 PCs, and 1 W7, it doesn't show in device manager)...
Can you help me ?
This is because the phone presents different device identifiers to the computer in these modes, and different drivers are needed, so it is possible to have proper drivers installed for one mode, but not the other. The fastboot program is simple and will just show the < waiting for device > message forever if drivers are missing. However, the same message may appear if the drivers are installed correctly, but the phone is not in the proper state with fastboot device IDs.
Make sure you aren't using a USB 3.0 port. Trying changing ports. The USB cable might also be the problem.
try using a direct usb 2.0 port on the pc ....
Otherwise reboot everything , erase cache first ?
Fastboot erase cache
or
Keep the phone connected and reboot the recovery , the led should come on then.
Keep the phone connected in the bootloader and reboot the pc.
If the problem still exists the let me know
What's the exact error ? Waiting for device
When the phone is in the bootloader is it recognized as fastboot usb (in red text) and what does the device manager in windows say about a android phone ?

In fastboot mode nothing shows in device manager, with 3 different cables, with 4 different computers (3x W10, 1xW7).
I tried connecting with a live cd of CentOS.
Same results, adb connect when phone is started, but when I go in fastboot mode nothings shows in lsusb or dmesg...
Looks like the phone doesn't connect to pc in fastboot, very very strange...
Hi,
I wanted to install Lineage OS on my Sony Xperia XZ2 compact. It has the latest stock firmware installed.
adb devices lists my device, preconditions are ok (bootloader unlock yes and debugging enabled and authorized)
adb reboot bootloader: the phone turns off, red light for 3 seconds, vibration, cyan light and black screen
fastboot devices simply does nothing
turn phone on again
turn off phone
hold volume down + power on -> vibration, "SONY" appears, "SONY" disappears, vibration, phone boot into normal work mode
I do not get into fastboot mode
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Ghost

Can you try
Code:
fastboot getvar all
If your device is recognized correctly it should either give you a long list of values or an error.
Else you get something like "Waiting for devices".
< waiting for any device >
nothing else

Okay. Then it makes sense that "fastboot devices" shows nothing.
Your problem is that your computer doesn't detect your phone in fastboot mode.
I think your cable should be okay (since adb works) but maybe you need some additional drivers?
You can also try solutions you find in the web if you search something like this:
Computer doesn't detect phone in fastboot

Or "Windows" instead of "Computer" if you use windows etc.

Ok, I got it. I did not turn "driver signature enforcement" off on my Win 10 system (but I got no error during driver install). After switching off "driver signature enforcement" and re-installed the adb and fastboot drivers, I got a warning that a driver without signature will be installed. I confirmed that warning and now fastboot is working well.
Hello, hopefully someone can help me.
I have the same problem as mentioned above. I also tried to deactivate driver signature and install new but it didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong.
I used this command and rebooted with deactivated driver signature.
shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
I also tried to install specific adb drivers for xperia xz2c manually instead of universal adb drivers.
Any more ideas?
Thanks and regards
I'm facing the same problem. I've installed multiple adb drivers, with and without driver signature enforcement, and nothing works.
adb works fine, and device is listed, but as soon as I do an adb reboot bootloader, the device is gone. Also, for some reason, I do not see any cyan blue LED lighting up in my unit (the LED itself does work though).
Was able to fix it. The trick is to start the phone into fastboot (vol down+power), and then go to Device Manager and install the drivers from Sony on the recognized device.

Hi, a.bispo, do you have any link for these driver because I have tried several on sony website and none work for me.
Thank you,
I got them from Sony's website as well.
The trick was putting the phone into fastboot, letting Windows recognize it, and then manually install those drivers' files.
Just an update from my experience: I had to go into device manager and select an alternative driver for the Android! device that popped up. Not sure if this is mandatory or not but I did this after the fastboot devices step where my device isn't detected.
Greetings.
I have working Redmi Note 9. The problem is I forget the passcode. And the only way to remove it, it seems, by entering recovery mode. But mine is broken, it's board level so simply changing the button wont do anything. The volume - is working fine tho.
Or is there any way to remove the code without going to recovery?
Thanks )))
You'll need following things on your pc:
Android SDK platform tool
Drivers specific to your phone
USB debugging enabled on your device
Then on your phone:
OEM unlocked or Bootloader unlocked.
After you have all prerequisites,
Connect your device to PC using the USB cable and in PowerShell enter the following commands,
adb devices
It shows all devices connected to your PC.
Confirm that your device is connected by ensuring the correct build number.
For booting into recovery mode, use the following command,
adb reboot recovery
