[Q] Forget to checklist usb debugging mode

It Fixed. Thx
My phone Arc S. 404 fw 413 virgin
After I look JJHybrid 3.1 i'm amazed with the UI. And plus the Locked BL users also can try it. and i'm doing step by step to do so. i root my phone, install CWM download JJhybrid 2.5 and i am succesfully to try the 2.5, and after that i accidentally unchecklist my usb debugging mode and than i try to upgrade to JJhybrid 3.1, i'm doing it wrong. i didnt wipe the data, instead i just upgrade it. and my phone now stuck on sony logo. i try to flash it with many FTF, ready to root FTF, middle east FTF, spain FTF. and the result is zero. always aborting the flashing. i try to remember what might wrong, and voila.. i think i know the problem, usb debugging mode that i unchekclist before. so what do i do to checklist that usb debugging mode again? my phone just stuck in sony logo T.T
or could someone give me step by step to get my phone on again T.T please

Flash a kernel with integrated CWM on ramdisk and boot in CWM. I recommend doomlord's kernel since it can boot even you borked out any ROMs.

please anyone., help me. what should i do

Oh ok locked bootloader is another issue. Anyways try booting the rom on safe mode. Just power on your phone, when sony logo shows up press and hold the hardware menu button. If it fails and flashtool also fails then bring it to service center.

[help]bricked xperia play

ok,i think i killed my phone
i have r800i and,flashed xdark ics with doom kernel.rom was solid but i had battery draining so,i decide to reflash stock rom using flash tool(freflshed from differnet rom 2 days ago),and got some error :ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";
after that my phone doesnt boot.it shows triangle,phone and exclamation mark
im on win 7on pc,i have latest flashtool(reinstalated several times)
tried to reinstall all drivers,tried to repair with pc companion.
flashtool reckognise fastboot,and i can flash different kernels(doomlord or any stock kernel when i extract it form ftf file),but i cant get to cwm or reflash ftf file using flashmode.same error keep poping up.i also cant flash system via fastboot.
any sugestions?
also when i connect phone in flashmode my pc see him as usb mass storrage device(in control panel)

Try this supposed to work on play not guaranteed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598160 :fingers-crossed:

ok i connected phone and s1 tool have only 3 buttons : do job,stop and quit?no restore button.
also s1 tool see my phone as r800x not r800i,i supose it messed up when i flashed xdark ics rom

i m just curious what the "cause" of this? now i m very afraid flashing my phone
if not mistaken there's special case with xperia x10 prototype,if you have this thing you will get sin head error everytime you flash is there any connection?

i tried with older version of flashtool (0,5,3,0)and it see that is not checked usb debbuging and unknown sources.but i cant turn on my phone to check those boxes,is there any way to bypass this?

[Q] xperia arc trouble with fastboot/flashtool

Hi, I have little problem with my xepria arc (unlocked booloader). a flash kernel by doomlord (doomkernel v20) - it's workig good, but I install incorrect zip from SDcard. Now I can run only recovery. Flashtool and fastboot aren't working, and I can flash new ROM, but without flastool i can't. Someone who help me pls? Thanks

I don't think that it's possible to break flashmode and fastboot mode with a single zip file. Pull out your battery for 10 seconds then put it back in and connect your phone (without turning it on) to a PC while holding "back" button. Green LED should illuminate. If it doesn't then repeat but this time hold "menu" button, blue LED should light up. If it doesn't work for you then I don't know how to help. Maybe you should reinstall drivers on your PC or try with different USB port or even another PC.

So, I try all my USB ports, two PC, PC suite and update service, flashtool,etc...but when I hold BACK button and connet USB cable , BLUE led only flash and on screen display DoomKernel logo and nothing else. I try repair my ARC for one week, but I'm hopeless :crying:

BLUE led only flash and on screen display DoomKernel logo

YOUR PHONE MUST BE TURNED OFF
Seriously turn it off and connect while holding back or menu if green or blue led flashes then its working.

-_- YES PHONE IS TURN OFF while I hold back or menu key and connect USB cable.....

And it's turning on by itself? Really weird...

Only thing that comes to my mind is flashing a ROM that's compatible with your kernel and then trying again.

so problem is,that i need flash new ROM/kernel, but flashtool and fastboot aren't working. When I turn off my device, hold a back/menu key and connect USB cable, don't turn on flashtool/fastboot mode....only display on screen kernel logo and then device reboot and hent repeat reboot .... I try install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994130 but it doesn'n work....I search on google and here too but nothing didn't work .... YES, I need flashing rom compatible with my kernel (I have it) but I don't get to to flastool/fastboot.... srry for my bad english

You said you flashed a wrong zip file.And the thread that you mentioned above is for xperia pro.Am I correct?
And you are using an Arc!
Bomber!
Try uninstalling the flashtool.Redownload another version of flashtool.
Run the drivers.Switch off your device.Press back button and see if this newer version picks up your phone.

But you don't need a flashtool or anything to flash a ROM because you have a working kernel with a recovery. Download a flashable zip file put it on your sd wipe all from the recovery and install your ROM.

yes,but i don't find flashable zip, who work on my kernel.....and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994130 is for arc too(during instalation i can choose from ARC,ARC S, PRO,NEO,RAY etc...)...
Do you know where I dowload flashable zip for my kernel?
Thx.

Its a GB kernel right? If so then you can try any GB stock based ROM. For example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083286

No no...it´s older kernel than GB ....

No it's not. If you are using Doomkernel then its 100% Ginger Bread based. There is nothing older than GB on Arc because this phone was released with this version of android back in 2011. Install ROM from my previous post and have fun with your device.

I'm not trying to be rude but please go educate yourself before doing anything with your phone. There are guides and stickies for people new to Android.

I LOVE U....it´s working ...thanks so much ...

sony boot you say, then you were at stock kernel. Look for a JB kernel like LuPuS, nAa, etc and flash it via Flashtool. Then boot to recovery, either by back button or volume down button depending on the kernel then wipe all, flash respective rom, flash gapps then modules.

thanks for fast answers!!!
haha it cant be less stresfull cause it`s not my phone i googled but when i connect flashtool it wont recognize device either :/ ?
edit....
YEEEEEEY i made it ^_^ after 123091230 errors and windows security s%*( windows recognized phone...and through flashtool i installed LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.World.1254-2184.ftf
I`m gonna install now a update with sony pc companion and i`m not gonna touch further? maybe only if you have some tips to suscces cause i couldnt...

nevermind sony pc companion if you want a custom JB rom.
First check if your bootloader is unlocked by entering in dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then navigate to System Info>Configuration then check if Bootloader Unlocked:yes, if it says allowed:no, you have to bring it to sony and pay for it to be unlocked,. Or unlock it with testpoint method, which I think is delicate.
Make sure ADB is on.
click the link below then choose the respective kernel for your ROM:
Kernels
choose if it is 4.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2 or what is based by your chosen ROM.
Turn off phone>hold the menu button(back button, home button, menu button) then connect it to pc
Open flashtool>click the thunder>Fastboot mode>Select kernel to Flash then navigate to the file.

Can't boot Xperia M please help me!

Hi,
I tried to install TWRP (by a lot of different methods) but they didn't work. I was also have a fastboot & flashtool driver problem so I couldn't install it using computer either.
One day I saw an app in the play store called ROM Installer. I downloaded it and tried to flash twrp.img using it. It said flashing was succesful. Now I rebooted my phone to recovery (by the NDR Utils app) but it was just powered off and than red LED lighted up. After 20 minutes I removed the battery. (It didn't react to anything else) Then I tried to boot it but it didn't react. (nor boot to recovery or boot to safemode)
After 5 hours when I tried to boot it again it showed that battery is exhausted (by the red LED) I connected it to charger but it didn't do anythig except the LED lighting. If I disconnect it it shows the -exhausted battery sign- again.
If I connect it to my computer the red LED lights up but nothing else. The computer doesn't recognise it. I have no idea how to power it again.
Really thanks guys to help me.
PS I'm a novice so pls be patient (and sorry for my mistakes as well)

Phone: Xperia M C1905
Android: 4.3 Jelly Bean
Build number: 15.4.A.1.9
Phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader

are you sure your device is really on unlocked bootloader condition? if that really on unlocked bootloader condition you only need to wipe data via flashtool. BTW install recovery on stock rom is only using flashtool for safe way. and usually CWM is only work on stock rom but if you want TWRP you can using FOTARecovery. i think that from kernel problem, cause if you install any recovery from app in playstore they will change your kernel with another kernel that have recovery mode. but if that kernel isn't compatible with your phone, your phone will soft brick. are you sure you have problem with flashmode and fastboot driver on your pc? i can tell you advanced than this if you can tell me which OS do you using it right now on your pc.
Don't worry your phone not fully broken

Thanks for replying.
My device on unlock bootloader I'm sure. (I called a strange number it showed a menu and in device info option it showed bootloader is unlocked.
Driver problems: When I connect the phone in fastboot mode the flashtool usually says: device not found - install the drivers from... I installed the drivers of my phone but it still didn't worked. I tried to update the 's1 boot fastboot' driver in device manager (picked the winusb inf file) but it said that that was a problem during installing: adb interface is missing. (but now I can't boot my device into fastboot mode)
