Fastboot problem "Wating for device" - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I was whit cm7 and flashed other stuff before and got no problems whit FastBoot. I flashed r800a_2.3.3_US Generic.ftt whit flash tools. And i wanted to go back to cm7 and when i enter "fastboot flash boot boot.img" i got the menssage "Wating for device" and nothing happens. I`ve tried whit a lot of drivers and nothing seems to work. When i connect the Phone in fastboot mode in the device manager name the device as "SEMC Flash device". Any help would be appreciated.

When i Flash the 2.3.3 ftf using FlashTool it says "Error Flashing. Aborted"

[Q] Fastboot

I had to reload my computer, on completion I downloaded fastboot and tried to flash dooms ics kernel, I put in the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' after pressing menu and inserting usb cable blue light on, press return I just get 'waiting for device' I have been using fastboot for months, also I loaded SE Updates Services to get drivers installed, I'm sure there is something silly I've forgot to load. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I have to install Java for this, and if I do which version.
Edit: If you have this problem, you like me forgot to load the fastboot drivers with device manager.

Can't operate CMD and phone, totally messed up :(

Hello!
ill try to be as specific as possible, though I'm a noob.
Ive been using ARHD rom for quite a while and I wanted to change it with the MIUI rom, so I wanted to relock my phone and everything to flash the miui from scratch.
suddenly , when i use the CMD, it says 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
the weirdest part is that the fastboot and all the other files remained in the same folder as they were the last time i used everything, and everything worked the last time. didnt change anything and suddenly it wont work, phone is stuck on boot screen and when im in fastboot it wont work aswell. I also tried to flash boot.img for miui with the boot flasher program thingy and it says "error: device not found" and than it says "error:cant find boot.img" although they are in the same folder!
something here is messed up and im really creeped out something is wrong, any kind of help will be greatly appreciated! :crying::crying::crying:
Sounds like you didn't cd to the directory your fastboot files are in
Restart your pc and then boot hox to fastboot, connect usb and hope you get "fastboot USB" message on your hox. If so try again to flash boot.img.
And why the heck did you relocked your phone to flash another custom rom?!

Lol 2 reasons, I'm stupid.
and also when i used the adb to flash boot.img i didnt notice the error and the window closed by itself so i thought "well, guess it worked" and flashed miui rom, got stuck in boot screen.
I facepalmed myself so hard it hurt my neighbors.
BTW I did it and it worked! Didn't understand the problem but I relocked it and am starting from scratch now, Thank you very much!!! :good:

[Q] Arc S, fastboot stuck at " sending 'boot' "

Hi,
I have wanted to try CM10 for some time, and unlocked my Arc S for the first time today. I followed the guides at freexperiaproject, so it seems that I was able to unlock the bootloader successfully. After it was unlocked I rebooted and all my user data was reset (as expected).
I downloaded "FXP150-cm-10-20121208-UNOFFICIAL-anzu" from rapidgator and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" wich I found at the cyanogenmod wiki. I put both the zip files in the root of my SD card. When I try running "fastboot flash boot boot.img" it says "sending 'boot' <5616 KB>...", but nothing more happens. I let it stay for several minutes and I have to push Control+C to abort it. I also extracted "boot.img" to the platform-tools folder under android-sdk.
In the SDK Manager I have installed "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver".
Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything more I should do before running fastboot? Sorry if I have missed a basic step here.

First, copy the file .img to the fastboot folder, if the file system.img means you have to run the command with the command: fastboot> fastboot flash system system.img, if the file userdata.img means that the command should be fastboot> fastboot flash userdata userdata.img .if the file xxxxboot.img mean form the command fastboot> fastboot flash boot xxxxboot.img
Iam using google translate.so,I hope I helped you and I hope you understand

The file from the zip file is called "boot.img". I have copied it to the fastboot folder, and I am running "fastboot flash boot boot.img", as the "how to-" says.
Reinstall drivers

did you make the phone enter fastboot mode?
you should run "fastboot devices" to see.
Thanks for the replies!
I tried on a different computer this morning, and here it worked immediately. Not sure what was wrong on the other one, because I installed the same SDK packages and USB driver. Installing ROM at the moment.
[Edit]: Everything seems to be working fine. Very happy with CM10 at the moment

i dont like flashing kernel by flashtool, as far i done several 2011 devices the best method allways was over adb:good: & it pretty easy.
download android sdk & open the exe. leave all like it is (only may make sure google usb drivers are checked) & press on install.
after install place the boot.img here: ...\sdk\platform-tools
2. connect device into fastboot mode (blue led)
3.click in a empty space in the folder. now HOLD SHIFT & right click, choose ''open command line window here'' (<-- or sth like that sorry my setup is german)
4. enter 'fastboot devices' --> your device should be recognized as a bunch of numbers.
5. flash kernel by entering ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' it tells you all done.
6. ''fastboot reboot''
7. enjoy new kernel

Bricked my xperia M :(

Hey guys,I was trying to install cwm on my xperia m(c1904) i unlocked the bootloader and and the phone rebooted and the device started successfully,then I tried to install cwm by this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480556 on the 7th setp it said Execute:
Code:
fastboot flash boot combined-xperia-m-boot.img
I tried that by DOS but it failed
I opened flashtools and opened fastboot mode and selected "select system to flash" and gave the location of that cwm img file,it got stuck at 0% so I unplugged and rebooted my phone and now it's only showing the SONY logo,I can't boot into recovery and when I connect my phone to flash mode the green LED turns on for only 1 second,flashtool does recognizes the phone but when I try to flash the stock firmware it starts flashing it but nothing happens and it shows 0%
I even tried PC companion for recovery but says"modified system detected,cannot repair"
the phone is able to boot into fastboot mode with the blue LED on
ok i unricked it ,reinstalled latest flash tool and flashed stock firmware,now can some1 explain me how do i flash cwm ?
What OS that your use?
In Windows 8 you need to disable driver enforcement before you can install flashtool driver properly

you can use kernel flasher for that. or if you have fastboot then
1. enable USB debugging and connect phone to pc.
2. execute the following commands
"adb reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash boot <recovery img name>
"fastboot reboot"
this solved the problem,thanks :good:
