Hi, I was wondering if my phone is capable of entering flash mode.
I have a Xperia Play 800a phone, from Rogers
Additional Info:
Tried Gingerbreak initially to root, not knowing it wouldn't work
Moved on to FlashTools, to attempt flashmode
Then to Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.09.2012].
Afterwards, I think the option to root (zergRush) using Flashtools got enabled, clicked that, phone got rooted
Busy Box v1.19.0 installed
Android version: 2.3.4
Build number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Baseband: -56
Kernel: 2.6.32.9.-perf
Root Access Allowed
Using FlashTools:
I've read multiple threads of how to get into flash mode (Unplug your device, power off the device, hold back button or home button (also tried pressing button consistently), I've tried pretty much every button, and then plugged in the USB cable. I even took my battery out for 5-10 seconds, still no luck.
Once I plug my USB cable back in to my phone, while still holding back button or search button, the Sony Ericsson screen pops up, I get a dundun sound from the PC, then my light turns green and the phone begins charging, no flashing/action from FlashTools begins.
This is the message I received from FlashTools
28/022/2012 17:22:09 - INFO - Device disconnected
28/027/2012 17:27:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
28/027/2012 17:27:36 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Another method I attempted was going into SDK tools folder, opening cmd in the platforms-tools, using the command "adb reboot-bootloader" and it just restarts my phone normally.
fastboot commands don't work either
I've checked my phone to make sure I'm in Mass storage mode, and USB Debugging is enabled.
I visited this site as well http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Entered this number into my phone
*#*#7378423#*#*
Looked under Configuration
Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Could this possibly mean phone isn't able to enter flashmode?

Im assuming you have the xperia play drivers installed. You can enter flashmode but you cant enter fastboot mode thats disabled because your bootloader is locked. To enter flashmode power off your xperia play (without removing the battery). As soon as your xperia play is off press and hold the back button and connect the usb cable to the pc before the xperia play boots up. If you look at the power button it should have the color green=flashmode thats what you should be looking for. Blue is fastboot mode these are indicators what mode your xperia play is in. You need green for flashmode.

When you say Xperia play drivers, what exactly are you referring to?
And yes I do follow those steps of turning off the phone, and holding the back button, and plugging the USB cable. The light still stays green, no matter what I do.
Maybe I'm missing those Xperia play drivers?

Put your phone into fastboot mode (blue LED). Only then you can install custom kernel.

Download flashtool and when you have downloaded flashtool install the drivers in the flashtool folder and download a ftf file for your phone and put it in flashtool folder then firmwares then open flashtool and press the flash icon then press flashmode and select your ftf file then press flash then follow the instructions.

Im trying this right now but nothing is happening, it is just telling me to unplug in and do the steps and thats it. Am i doing anything wrong? I have installed all the drivers and using a .ftf file. The phones screen is doing nothing and it has a orange light when the usb is plugged in.
Do not connect your phone then press the flash icon then select your ftf file then press flash and it will say preparing files for flashing you should then get a message showing up and press back while plugging in phone

I think i know what the problem is, my debugging mode is not on, do you know how i can turn it on without using the phone?

Debugging mode have nothing with your problem. It only means that you didn't entered in flashmode.
I think you have problem with flex cable, maybe you should reopen your Play and check flex cable again.
Try to hold search when plugining in phone, flashtool should report that you are in fastboot mode. If flashtool again report error (that "debugging not on") it means that maybe your keyboard is not working. Or flex. Or both.
But make sure you also try different usb cable and/or different usb port on motherboard (mainly back ports, sometime front ports can be jirky for unknown reason)

just to be clear to put it into fast boot mode i have attempeted the following
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search and power simltaniously, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, press power until vibration while holding search, nothing
remove battery, hold search, reinsert battery still holding search, hold power button while still holding search, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search, insert usb, begins charging... no blue light
it shows no sign of charging after i "turn it on" the light goes out but i know that the front plate, i.e screen,menu buttons is not completely unresponsive as if i hold the return button when i insert the usb it recognizes it different as i was trying to flash it earlyer and it is required in the updating process, please help
it seems if i leave it plugged in via usb it will randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer and yes pc companion will say that the device is detected every time. its almost as if it is stuck in an invisible and very fast bootloop as it disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals, this only happens after it has been "turned on"
it also appears that the battery drains very rapidly as after only a few minuets of removing battery holding power ect. it will no longer "turn on" and no light will turn on through a usb socket but when plugged into the wall after a short pause it shows the amber charging light. could this be a battery problem? con the xperia play normally boot off wall power without a battery? if so then it is the devices problem as mine cannot but if it cant normally then maybe its the battery, i have a new one ordered and will arive soon and i will keep you posted.

I've got the exact same issue, but i know how you could get into flashmode or fastboot mode.
Pull the battery out and insert the usb cable (when connected to the Pc of course) and put the usb cable in the phone while holding either back or the search button. Nownit should be in the sepected mode

Does your flashmode stop after a little bit of time? It does on mine, that's really strange

Try to get into fastboot mode with that method i told you above. Then try to unlock your bootloader.
Pull battery out -> insert usb cable first in computer -> connect it to the Play while holding the search button -> put the battery in while still holding the search button -> then you can release the button and you should be in fastboot mode.
That's at least how it worked for me. I then flashed new software. Mine can boot to the kernel where it then shows an image and shuts down. No matter what kernel/rom I am trying.

I really appreciate any suggestions/help

Good evening, I'm living the same thing. In my case, it's the XA1 G3123, but the problem it's the same. The only thing I could see was the red led...
I've tried Emma, Flashtool, Xperia Companion, and none of them recognized the device. Do you know if Is there any software that see a device aparently dead?

It's sad that this forum has 4 billion members and no one could help ? I wished that if someone on this forum could confirm that the phone is completely dead or what?
Anyway. I bought a new iPhone and that android junk is still in the drawer ?
First, make sure you have the drivers (flashtool and fastboot) installed.
Then download the ROM corresponding to your XA1, it can be by Flashtool or Xperifirm.
Also have at least 20% battery.
With all of this, with XA1 turned off, open Flashtool,
click the lightning button,
choose Flashmode,
select the downloaded ROM (ftf),
click Flash,
as soon as Flashtool prompts you connect to the PC by pressing the volume button at the same time
(can not remember if it is volume - or volume +, the important thing is that the notification light turns green)
and wait for the process to finish.
It works most of the time.

Thanks for the instruction. I did this . but it didn't work, when I press flash a window pops up showing animated "press volume downd and connect your phone to the PC but when I do that nothing happens. the LED light stays red when connection the USB cable. it does not go to flash mode.
I had also tried volume up but that didn't works either.
the phone seems not able to go to flash mode neither fastboot mode.
I also tried removing the battery, press volume down , connect the usb cable then connect the battery back but didn't works.
I tried pressing both volume up and down then connect the usb cable with the battery connected and disconnected but that didn't work either.
I have tried so many combinations buttons with battery in and out. but didn't work.
there's always steady red LED on when connecting the usb cable to pc or to the charger.
I checked all drivers installed correctly. but the problem is the phone does not go to fastboot neither flash mode.
I also don't know more what to do, because none of the buttons or its combinations result in something beyond the same red led. I've installed the usb vcom preload drivers, MTK 67xx drivers and I also tried to desconect the battery and once again changes nothing.
The only thing that happens is the device connecting and disconnecting every 30 seconds in the hardware manager, and no programms or flashers like Flash Tool recognize the smartphone.
If anyone could give any ideas would be helpful, considering my knowledge in cell phones hardware is very low.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
hld power and vol up, device vibration once, keep holding, release buttons when vibrated three times
phone shut down, no more led
plug usb in pc, not mobile, hold volume down and plug in mobile too after you launched emma
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
emma will detect your device in flashmode and offer you a rom to download and flash, problem solved
maybe not the latest rom for your country but the most common for the device to unbrick
did u find any solution

Hi,
No, it's not a battery problem, don't change it, that's not the solution... I have the same problem with my XA1 G3121, and I buy a new battery the last week, but nothing change, my phone is always blocked ... the red light stay red when i connect the phone to the PC (or when I connect it to the charger), and directly off when i disconnect it, but the problem stay the same,I can't change the red light in green or blue...
Sorry for my poor English, I'm french and I know sometimes it's difficult to understand my english...
I will see if I can test the Test point because it's the last than I don't test to ressucite my XA1.
If you find a solution to ressucite it, please write me how you do please...

I know this is a old thread but people you must understand, what happened is that your Sony phone disconnected while flashing the boot.img (so now the phone has no software at all! ) No rom is easy fix, but no bootloader (boot.img) you are sol
These phones have a tendency to do this if you chose the wrong settings before flashing.
So basically you have a lifeless brick (the phone doesn't know it's a phone) that's why it doesn't do nothing but have a red light, the only FIX is JTAG jtagging the device or to swapp the motherboard i have a xa1 ultra from 2018 i bricked, 4 years later i bought a motherboard and swapped it and voila back up and running.
So please flash and root responsibly most soft bricked can be fixed but when you delete the boot.img, only JTAG can save you good luck!!
