[Q] USB Debugging fails in flash tool & ADB

Hi.
I have flashed stock ROM for my Xperia Play R800i to R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic.ftf
but after enabling USB Debugging and Unknown sources, no matter what I do flash tool will always say this:
Code:
25/038/2012 10:38:38 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
25/038/2012 10:38:38 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
With ADB, devices list is always empty.

have u hold the back button when connect it to usb?? please wait a moment when the driver installing

Phone works fine but I cannot root anymore.

Sorry for bumping this, but still no luck.
It seems like USB Debugging does work because my PC detects the ADB device when I plug my phone in.
I have all drivers installed, as I did before, but I still can't get my device to display using "adb devices"
Any help would be great.

Flash Mode

How to get into flash mode!​
**This works with all ION phones whether or not its AT&T bound or not.**
Once you achive Flash mode, you can use FlashTool to flash into ICS! this method also helps to get Debranded from AT&T
***I said debrand not Unlocked! remember two different things.***
1. Remove USB from your phone.
2. Shut down your ION.
3. Hold down the Volume Down button
4. While holding down the Volume down button plug in your USB to the phone.
After doing such, you should be greeted with the green light saying you are into flash mode!
If you need any help about achieving flashmode, please ask on this thread or read a few of the post *if any are here*

This should be in general section not development.
Mods please move thread.

Since its to deal with all of the firmwares, would it not count as development?

No the development section is for actually custom developed Android roms/kernels/recoveries etc.

Question about flash mode. I get the device to do the green light thing, but it only stays for about 5 seconds. I'm not sure if that is what is supposed to happen or not, but Flash tool says that drivers need to be installed. But when I go to the drivers folder, it is empty. I'm redownloading flashtool now to see if that solves the issue of the missing drivers, but is there anything else it could be?

That happens to me occasionally. Best thing to do is start the flashtool first and the flashing process then put your phone into flash mode and then you will not have to worry about it too much.

Awesome. I'm at work right now, but will try it out when I get home. Any idea why the drivers folder in flashtool would be empty though? I redownloaded it, but still the same thing.

Windows. I'm thinking about trying it on my chromebook running ubuntu though.

Funny, I already created this same thread about a week or two ago in the Q&a I believe. A little search goes a long way eh.

Ok, so I located the drivers in Spectre51's thread about unlocking the bootloader. I'm pretty sure that my problem is that the phone does not stay in Fastboot mode. it does it (it being the green light) for about 13 seconds, then stops. The Sony Boot screen comes on, and then the charging symbol. meanwhile, I've seen windows try to install the driver, but the device "disconnects" (aka fastboot stops) before the drivers can be installed. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do at this point. I've tried different port and usb cables but all end the same way. This is what happens in flashtool:

You don't want fastboot, you want flasmode. The phone doesn't need to be on flashmode for adb. Adb drivers get installed when the phone is on and running the bat files.

Leave the phone with the charging on for a few hours.
Now connect the phone to the PC.
Then Press power + Vol Up simultaneously. The phone will vibrate once.
Immediately press power+vol down. The phone will go into flash mode.
It has worked for me and not for some others. Try it out.

That happen when you connect your cellphone to the pc before that the software (flashtool) ask you, besides you have to connect your cellphone while your press volup (or down accord with the function that you need) until the green or blue led is on. Try reinstalling flashtool or download the last version (do it again if you already have the last one).

SOLVED!

[Q]Bricked Xperia S

After flashing acid audio engine, i fell in a bootloop. I went to clockwork again and flashed back the backup that i made earlier, however my phone didn't get away with it and stayed in the bootloop. I luckily happened to have MIUI (locked bootlader version with ICS) so i flashed that. Now i cannot even get into clockwork. All i get is "Sony" and then it restarts until i get "Sony" again...I have locked bootloader. Any ideas?
Please help me out! I have xperia s
This is what's happening in flashtool because it keeps restarting after showing "Sony"

If only you would have read my first post...
Anyways, i was able to get it back to work using SUS, suggested by sony staff.
I don't understand one thing. If i flash cwm and make a backup, why am i not able to restore it? It goes in a bootloop. Plus you can't mount usb storage for some weird reason. So basically i can't use audio mods? because they give me a bootloop and then i'm never able to recover.

Because cwm for locked BL, is the most bugges thing in the universe.
Ps: i dont know if "bugges" is a word lol.

and now no one's working on it because everyone is having an unlocked bootloader. It is a very clever way, by sony, to get rid of the warranty agreement...
Why isn't it possible to update clockworkmod version, once you have flashed v2?

Try SEUS (sony erricson update service)
I had a problemsimilar to yours and this software fixed it

Hi guys,
I have xperia m5 E5603 and yesterday I was trying to flash stock rom with flashtool but it failed on flashing boot.
Now my device doesnt vibrate, doesnt boot up and is not recognised by computer.
The only thing, when i connect it to computer, flashtool shows me

I cant flash anything, I have removed back cover and unplugged batterry to ensure the phone is off when connecting to computer, but still the only thing I get is red led light.
adb and fastboot doesnt list any devices when I try to connect in fb or flash mode.
Does anybody have solution how to make it flashable again?
I have checked a lot of formus / google results but still it doesnt solve my problem

It's bricked and so far only Sony can repair it

I think it will be cheaper to replace motherboard instead of sending it to sony.
Thanks
