actually it is powering off your device first unplug it from pc then hold down BACK button not search button then while holding BACK button (first button on leftmost part of your Xplay) plug the usb cable to your phone. That should get you into fastboot and start flashing using flashtool or manual fastboot commands (using cmd).

back button is for flashing an ftf file search button is used for fastboot
when i do the search button and then plug usb cable, lights turn blue for 3secs and switch to green and the charge logo appears after that.
Noob Guide for Flashing and Fastboot:
Step 1) Power your device off and Remove USB
Step 2) Hold Search for "Fastboot" and Back Button for Recovery mode Then Whilst Holding insert Usb Into Xperia.
Step 3) Now you have got into "Recovery or "Fastboot" have fun Flashing, Booting, etc

erm, have you got the necessary drivers for fastboot?
fastboot is useless without an unlocked bootloader anyway, because most of the time you will be flashing kernel or system partitions which will give errors
edit: you can still hotboot kernels like binary's hotboot cwm images
How do you hotboot?

After re-reaading this, i realised that ur bootloader is locked. U need a unlock bootloader, fastboot uses the bootloader to flash or something along that line. cant remember. my apoplogies.
I knew that, so anyway how can use custom firmware then,?

Ive been able to.switch to r800i but i still cant flash...what the hell is going on....

Fastboot does not work on sim unlocked phones with locked bootloaders. I have an r800a too. I suggest you contact Alejandrissimo and get your BL unlocked if you want to use fastboot. It's worth it and it's pretty easy.
Is it possible to use a custom rom with a locked bootloader??
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
A Rogers r800a doesn't have fastboot. The recovery you installed runs from the system partition instead of the kernel, and that blue light you saw was the recovery loading.
You can unlock your bootloader and enable fastboot using Omnius. Normally, it would cost money, but they have free credits for easter weekend right now.
Check this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24534816&postcount=51
If you can't figure it out, I can help you through teamviewer.
and then afterwards, I can also help you through installing a ROM, since this thread seems a bit confused.
So I was about to root my Xperia S and started reading a guide, it said that I would need to load some files into the phone using fastboot. After a while I figured out how to fastboot and managed to get the popup on my computer once, however, I didn't install it that time and now when I try to fastboot again I get the blue LED on my phone, my computer makes some noises indicating that something unusual have been conected, nothing happens and the phone shows the Sony logo.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem and get the popup on the computer to re apear.
I run a 64 bit windows 7 home premium.
Thanks.

Hi HugNikanor..
When I Unlocked The Bootloader and Was Going To Start Root Process.. I had The Same Problem..
If I remember Correctly It Was a Driver Issue..
In FlashTool Folder There Is Another Folder Called Drivers.. Have U Tried Installing The Fastboot Drivers From There..?

So for Unlocking Bootloader You have to use fastboot mode.. ok
and after that, for rooting it should be done using flashtool in fastboot mode..
so here is the thing.. Download The Flashtool first And After extracting the files You'll Find a Folder Named Drivers.. first Install The Fastboot Drivers Even To Unlock The Bootloader..

I will report back after future succes or failures with the project.

Thanks alot for the help with Flashtools. All the guides I found just asumed that you just knew a lot of things which kinda complicated it for me.

Hi,
I can't connect my phone in flashmode nor in fastboot mode. Whenever i connect it in flashmode/fastboot mode my PC stucks(hangs) and i have to restart it again i have installed all the drivers for all devices but still the problem exists. Any help in this regards???
Also to mention i'm using Windows XP SP3 and flashtool version is 0.9.1.0.
I have also one more issue when i connect my phone to the charger when it is switched off the phone does not charge at all it simply shows me the sony logo and keeps showing it again and again but never charges. In short when my battery is complete i cannot get it back to life due to this problem but thank god that i have installed CWM on my phone.
Thanks for helping i'll also post this in the development section also.
I have no idea to your problem, but I would guess that it have something to do with you using xp, or maybe some damage on your phone.

Hello I have an Xperia S, with bootloader locked and recently installed a ROOM in order to get the 6.A.1.2.55 with root.
Installed from a ZIP from recovery mode following this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2009672
Now when I try to do step 7 (flash kernel and Baseband) Using Flashtool, Im unable to enter to the mode; when the windows prompts me, I turn off the phone, press and hold Vol up connect the USB but nothing happens, only the Sony Logo and then the icon of charging battery, I also tried to turn off the phone while holding Power button + Vol up (at the same time) and get the 3 vibrations, but the same result when I connect, the logo and the charging animations/icon..( no LED of any color or anything)
Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..
Thank you..

The Drivers won't install, when I run Flashtool-drivers.exe (that was the only one that existed) and select all of the xperia S drivers, the fastboot drivers and Flashmode drivers only Sony Eriksson Comunication something something is installed, the rest sas couled not be installed (but in swedish). You don't happen to have a solution for that. But installing the drivers this way wont help sins I still has to get it into fastboot to unlock the bootloader, to get the recovery upp and runnling... when I run the phone into fastboot from flash tools it dose the exact same thing as when I dose it manually, going into fastboot for ca 5s. then enter the Sony and then the charging screen.
Once agan, using windows 8 64-bit, have acces to a vista 32-bit. I have no experience with virtual macheans so if it was possible to avoid that, that would be good.

Dear bjchettri
I do appreciate all your efforts
I have to explain the situation just to make things more clear because it looks like you misunderstand me
when I connect my phone (in all modes "Bootloader, Fastboot, normal, recovery..etc) nothing happens on my pc
even in device manager (i'm using Microsoft windows) the system doesn't show any item for a new attached device or an item for an defined attached driver (which used to appear all modes)
the flashtool needs the system to find an attached device to communicate with (usually the attached device name looks like "android phone", SE android or something this (depends on ur phone brand, model)
now since my system doesn't find any device when I connect my mobile then the flashtool won't be able to communicate with my device (even if i tried to boot my device in all modes "bootloader, fastboot, normal, recovery) by holding specific buttons (menu or volumn down or back buttons)
and if you read my question you will see that i was asking if anyone knows any way to connect my phone using testpoints or something like this because i though maybe I can let my pc to recognize my phone using the testpoints method.
I'm not sure but if i could make my phone recognized by the pc then i will have like 10 ways to find the problem and fix it.

If you were unlocked and s-on then you must relock bootloader before updating with ruu.
Just type this in fastboot, without the quotes
"Fastboot oem lock" in command prompt.

If you were unlocked and s-on then you must relock bootloader before updating with ruu.

how would one do this if phone is not recognized in fastboot mode via adb?
uninstall htc sync. drivers will stay. sync gets in the way sometimes. I just used the ruu from the htc site and the setup wizard did it all. very easy, you could do it that way, no need to relock bootloader. or flash one of the Jellybean roms jmz has out. that would be the easiest way.
Thanks. Tried uninstalling HTC sync, and rebooting my pc. Still hangs when the phone restarts into bootloader. Still telling me it is unrecognized...

hboot and fastboot menus are the same. the tampered part is because of the custom recovery. if you are selecting fastboot and pc is not detecting the device, thats odd. if you havent, change usb port and cable.
it is possible to get drivers issues with fastboot/hboot. when connecting usb cable after fastboot is selected does it change to FASTBOOT USB?
did you turn USB debugging on? are you going to fastboot after going into the bootloader?

I have tried with about 3 different USB cables, and every different available USB port. all to no avail. If i select fastboot manually by holding the power and volume down, then it will say fastboot, until I push the volume up or down, then it will switch to fastboot usb.
when the RUU program triggers a reboot into the fastboot mode (I'm assuming that's what it is trying to do, anyway) it just hangs on a black screen with a big white HTC logo, until the program times out and I have to exit. Restarting the phone is no issue, because it just starts up like normal.

USB debugging is on, and see above reply regarding fastboot.
Thanks everyone for their help so far...I know we can get to the bottom of this!

Do "fastboot oem rebootRUU". You should see the device in device manager. Then run the ruu again.

Same deal if I reboot to fastboot via ADB or manually with the phone. As soon as I enter fastboot, no longer recognized by the computer.

you said that the phone gets into black screen with htc white letters. that means normal fastboot still works because the RUU sends that same command. i ask you again to check windows device manager and see if your device is there. if its not, try unplug and replug usb cable.
Unplugging and plugging the cord back in did nothing. Device manager lists the device as unknown. It says something about device reporting error.

Try another pc. Either laptop or desktop, even both.

OK. I will try that. I'm running a system I built myself with Windows 8. Do you think that windows 8 is causing some issues? my wife's laptop is still windows 7...I will try that tonight. fingers crossed!
So I tried on windows 7, and the RUU is able to get as far as the part that says updating signature, at which point it sits there for a few minutes, then gives me error 132 and tells me to download the correct rom update utility for my phone??!
Is there any chance that having twrecovery is causing this? If so, an ideas on how to go back to stock recovery?

If you are s-on then you have to relock bootloader to flash ruu.
