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.

Hello,
My problem is the following:
- If I connect my phone when it's on, it works just fine.
- If I connect it in fastboot mode (blue led) it isn't recognized. So i installed the drivers manually (after disabling the need for driver signature) and it said drivers were installed. But it still doesn't work propperly. In device manager my phone now gets recognized as Android ADB interface but there's still a yellow triangle there with an exclamation mark and in properties it says: Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
When I try using flashtool (0.9.9.0) it says:
26/010/2012 15:10:00 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized
26/010/2012 15:10:00 - INFO - Flashtool Version 0.9.9.0 built on 2012-11-13 22:53:30

Any ideas on how I can solve this because it has been driving me crazy for 2 days now.
Thanks

It may surprise you but I know how to google.
I have been looking for the past 2 days but nothing in those threads works.
The way I see it is that after installing the drivers like they explain here, here or here, it should work. But it still doesn't.

The point is your not the first with the issue and you could have posted your issue on two of the three threads you've linked to. If all the suggestions aren't working then you're doing something wrong.

Had the same problem, could not get it running and kept on getting the " A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed" error on the usb device.
In the end the solution was simple and something that can only happen on Windows....
Follow the instructions in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575100&page=2 exactly.
You will find that you still have the same problem.
Then connect the phone to a different usb port (preferably one that uses a different internal port) or add a USB hub in between.
In my case it worked instantly.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks man.
I'll try it tomorrow. I managed to do it by using an old windows xp laptop but it would be nice if I got it to work on Win 8.

Then everything was working, flash tool, S1 tool, Update service, etc.
SONY ERICSSON Xperia arc S
I installed the drivers fine by turning off device signing, however still had an issue with the flashmode not recognising the device was connected.
The solution for me was just to connect the phone via a usb port on the PC itself (as opposed to connecting it via a USB port on the PC's monitor).

Woohoo! I connected via a usb on the rear side of my pc and it worked! Thanx!
Got an RMA'd Xperia Play 4G (r800at) straight from Sony and went to go follow my usual steps to root it from the unupdated firmware and it just doesn't work. Flashtool reports no connected device and ADB Shell doesn't connect. I can't do anything but flash in flash mode, and on different firmwares I get the same issue. I got it to connect once with Flashtool and it said "Root Access Allowed" and that was when I first got it. I haven't been able to do much with it since I got this one.
It's a 12w19.
Doesn't seem to be a phone problem, you just need to get adb to recognize your device. Did you check to make sure you enabled USB Debugging and installed the correct ADB drivers provided with Flashtool? You might also need to change from MTP mode to MSC.
I recommend flashing this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591398

Yes, Debugging and MSC are on.
It does the same thing in multiple firmwares, including that one.
Alright so, earlier today I rooted my phone and everything was fine, so just a bit ago I wanted to install a custom rom from fastboot. For whatever reason, I was unable to do it via ADB in flashtools(just rebooted me back into system when I tried), so I tried it manually (hold volume up and then plug in usb) - at first it told me I needed drivers, so I went into flashboot's driver installer and reinstalled Ion, fastboot, and flashmode drivers. Unfortunately (just like the first time I installed the drivers) the "Google USB" failed to install. However, the Ion driver installed successfully, and now instead of saying I need drivers, it will say "27/036/2013 17:36:06 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
27/036/2013 17:36:06 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" and if I click check drivers, it'll give me this: "27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :
27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6DDE\6&DF2EE03&0&6 Driver installed : true

27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - List of fastboot devices :
27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - - none"
Am I bricked, or stuck in fastboot or something? Hopefully someone can help me, thanks.
(P.S - I have an Ion LT28at and am on unmodified except for root AT&T ICS)

I guess that's just a minor soft brick.
How about force restarting it ?
Press and hold the power button and volume up button at the same time
5 seconds > restart phone
10 seconds > shutdown phone

Worked. I feel like an idiot for not trying that before - I knew how to force shutdown but when I did it I didn't do it for 5 seconds as I was panicing. Anyways, any help in terms of the fastboot? Thanks alot though, either way.

Happy you got it working
Restart your PC and everything, start fresh,
And just follow the manual method of connecting.
Hold down volume UP key while connecting it to PC and the LED light should turn blue.
Also install the drivers once again. Go to C:/ > Flashtool > drivers > fastboot drivers > install
Hope it helps

Ugh, it just keeps turning on and going to the "charging" screen. Any tips, as this is extremely aggravating?
(I was successfully able to install the drivers btw, by disabling driver signature enforcement - I'm on Windows 8 :I)

Try on Windows 7 and also use 2.0 USB port
And one thing i think i should have asked you before. Is your bootloader unlocked ?
Yo need an unlocked bootloader to perform fastboot actions

Ah, crap, there's my problem. I don't think the ATT version's bootloader is unlockable unless I were to pay someone with a kit (did it with my play) if there are any people that do it with the Ion, could you link someone to me?

I bought an xperia ion some time ago and when i bought it, i could boot to fastboot mode, i rooted it and installed the cwm recovery for it, and was doing fine, then i dont remember what happened but i had to restore, so i flashed the genaric lt28h version via flashmode. then for a while i was stuck without root because the root script was not working, i tried to boot to fastboot mode and was not able, i checked my phones bootloader status and it said it was locked, but i was able to boot to fastboot before, but now i am no longer able. any ideas as to what happened?
thanks
I think i'm not the only one who wants to root the T3. There are many guides which are very complicated for people who are no software developers...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t3/general/root-firmware-18-1-1-21-t2889847
If this is too complicated then probably you shouldnt even consider rooting - procedure cant be any easier. There isnt also any other way to root T3 ATM.
And yes, this works also with .25 (4.4.4 KK). And for different ver. of T3 (5102 for example) use software for your model as base.

Hi. Before you flash .14 you need to enable usb debugging in your phone, connect it to your pc via usb cable and check the "allow always..." checkbox in your phone:
P.D. If the popup is not showing when you plug your phone, then open a terminal (cmd in windows), launch adb devices command and you should see the popup in your device. If does not, unplug the phone, stop adb, plug the phone again and try launching adb command.
did it
