Hi,
I am having troubles. My Xperia Play won't boot into flash mode. USB debugging is on, phone is in MSC mode. I turn the phone off, press the back button while plugging in the USB cable and it boots into fastboot. (Blue LED light turns on and Flashtool recognises it as Fastboot mode). I am running DooMKernel and Ice-Cream SONY rom, but have tried changing ROMs and that doesnt affect it.
Thanks
Daniel
Try to turn off your phone press the search button and connect it to your computer

Hm, try this. Boot into recovery and from the reboot options select flash mode.
Goodluck
Edit: Sorry got confused with fastboot mode If you can try using another computer, could be a problem with drivers?
Thanks heaps for your help. I thought it was back not search button. Unfortunately it's my search button that's broken which is why i'm trying to change it back to stock to send it in to my provider. Is there any other way besides using the search button? I tried a different PC as well and unfortunately that didnt work.

unlucky. I think there is no other way. to get in to fastboot you could send simple adb command but I don't think such a command exists for flashmode

If hav flashtool just enable the usb debugging, connect phone to pc, go to fastboot option menu then select "reboot into fastboot via adb"
Easy breezy Done it thousands time WITHOUT pushin any button. Just use flashtool's fastboot menu n makesure to enable usb debugging Enjoy
Hit thanks if this help
Thanks vokal1992
I also have a dodgy search button that also plays up when tryin to get into flash mode, i just take the battery out and leave it for 5 mins and hope it works, failing that i get a pin and lift the search button up to try stop it.

This boots it into fastboot mode. Is there a way to boot in to flash mode through flashtool?

Thanks, tried that. removing the battery didnt help and i tried to lift up the button with a pin. I tried pressing the metal underneath but that still didnt work. Looks like thats the part thats broken.
Will Sony/SE fix hardware issues even if your phone is rooted? Or is hardware warranty lost as well.
Sorry to bump old thread. This is just for somebody that's still can't to boot flash mode for some reason.
I've my first Xperia PLAY until some month its has cable flex problem. Buying the new one, got it fixed myself BUT same as the title thread the device won't be able to boot flash mode, only fastboot. So to fix it I need to rechange back to broken cable flex and im able to enter flash mode again until im done and need to repeating change again.
So I dont know maybe because im buying the cheaper one or something else, but this method is works for me. Hope its help.

You have to use volume up and down at the same time. So press both volume buttons and power button at the same time to get into the bootloader.

I understand that but my volume up button does not work. stopped working randomly about two weeks ago. Therefore I can not get into bootloader. Only odin mode. So once in odin I cant get odin to see the gnex. I imagine its the drivers but they seem to be installing ok. Anybody have any ideas or am i screwed? I also took it apart to see if i could see something wrong with volume up button. No luck
Do you have USB Debugging enabled in your settings? If so, boot your device (yes, I understand that you will only see a black screen, but it doesn't matter) and plug into your PC. Once it is fully booted, open a command prompt on your PC and type: adb reboot bootloader
Then you can get into your recovery and then follow the instructions here.

It was enabled before the issue. Thanks for the advise but t gave up trying to fix it. Its my company line so I just ported my number to a temp phone and awaiting a replacement from assurion. Cant afford it being out of service too long. Guess i will just start over. But this time no hardware issues so bootloader wont be a problem again.
Hey buddies,
I have a big issue:
My Xperia arc S is rooted, I did the bootloader unlock with sucess, and, when I flashed the boot.img (I had sucess by ADB), after ask to "fastboot reboot' my device died :/
It can't be recognized anywhere (USB-PC, wall charger, vol up + usb but it doesn't enter in fastboot mode), it doesn't turn on anymore.. When I hold "power button + vol up + vol down + camera button it's vibrate, but nothing happened in display. I had just this feedback.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Try using flashtool. Hold down "menu" key and plug your phone into the usb. You will get into fastboot mode and then flash custom kernel.
After flashing kernel get into CWM recovery. Once you get in there its easy to install the ROM you want.
Make sure you flash kernel according to the ROM you selected or else you will get bootloop.
CHEERS!!
same issue

No, you don't need to press power button.
Switch off your device(which is already in your case) then while holding down the "menu" button on your phone, plug the phone into your computer via USB cable. If blue LED lights up, means you have successfully placed your phone in fastboot mode.
If its not working then probably your device battery is empty. You will need to charge it bro. And this might be a big problem unless you have got one more arc/arc s.
Sounds like the chargemon has been corupted of wiped! That could explain the charging issue. Try vol down & plug in usb for flash mode(green led if good) connect to pc companion and repair phone, or flashtool and the rom of your choice. If not it may be a jtag job im afraid n thats pricey!!!

While attempting to flash PA Rom and Gapps, the device turned on and kept saying unfortanately, setup wizard has stopped.
a suggestion was to hold all three buttons at once for 15 seconds. Now the device is completely off screen and responds to no buttons. but when i plug it into PC it makes the sound of hardware connected. Please help
*update*
i fixed the black screen but now all i get is Unfortanately, Setup wizard has stopped
There is no way i can go to the settings to enable USB debugging.
there is no way i can access recovery without USB debugging
I can only access recovery with Nexus toolkit
which requires usb debugging
what do i do?

Make sure the device is turned off(press the power button for 10 seconds). Then press power & volume down until you get into the bootloader menu and from there get into recovery.
If you haven't made a backup in custom revoery then
Then connect Tablet to your PC and download+run this one click restore kit by ATGAdmin

Glad it worked, sorry I was busy playing BF4 and didn't tell you need to use volume key to scroll to recovery and then press power button to boot into recovery.
But that recovery mode picture alone is enough if you are running the one click restore tool.
I updated my Xperia Ion last night. Unfortunately, my phone was shut down by itself and then it've got bootloop but it s quite different from general bootloop because, when to Sony logo appear, it takes about 20 second and slowly disappear and reboot again about 6-7 times.
I've tried to carge it and i get the red led. However, it turns on automatically and everthing happen again. So, i tried to hard reset (3 vibrate) and do wall charging but it's still the same. After that, i've tried to use rubber band for flash mode while it was charging in red LED, but my laptop can't access my phone in flash mode and it's turned on by itself again. What should i do? Thank you in advance. :crying:

I got the blue LED after that Flashtool told me that i need the driver.

it should be green led.blue led is fastboot mode i think. you need flashmode
and a little more details. what were you trying to update before your phone got into bootloop?got an unlocked B/L or locked?
One more thing. Go to flashtool folder>driver folder>drivers.exe(or something like that). Install drivers for your device first. then go to the bottom of the list. select flashmode and fastboot drivers and install those as well

you have CWM>???(CWM for locked Bl i guess)
Did you take a backup???
if not...check if ROM was meant for unlocked B/L. If not,wipe cache and dalvik cache..wipe data and try...
if yes, then u have only one option. Using flashmode(green led) use flashtools to flash stock firmware

This is a longshot but since you dont have warranty you might give it a try.
Remove the back of the phone (there are tutorials on youtube for "disassembling ascend P6") and then remove the battery inside. Afterwards connect the phone to your ac charger, and retry to force update (power button while holding vol + and - buttons).
I really dont know if this works, but when i bricked my other huawei phone (u8800) where the battery was removable I managed to restore it using the aforementioned method..
Best of luck!
I had same problem last week, press volume up/down when phone boot. and keep pressing those buttons.
Dosnt work every time.. download firmware first and add it to external sd/dload folder..
i think i lost my stock recovery, i dont know why but i think that happened, but can anyone tell if the loss of the recovery will lead to the failure of force update? (in my case it won't start at all just stuck at logo)
if that happened i might try reflashing stock recovery with fastboot
ok i tried to flash stock recovery via fastboot, but the problem is my pc only reads my device when i connect it to it then hold power and vol - buttons till it reboots, then my pc reads it as an adb interface but it shows that it failed to install device drivers although i already installed the usb drivers and updated google usb drivers from android sdk, and everytime i try to flash recovery via adb (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) it stuck with waiting for device
it seems its not recognized properly, am i hard bricked? :crying:
same problem with ascend mate
hi,
I have the same exact problem with my ascend mate mt1. its always stuck to ascend logo. when I press power button and hold cannot turn off. always turn on by itself. if I press volume down and power button, my computer can recognize it as fastboot. drivers can install no problem. can see the device when I type fastboot devices. when I try to install recovery with fastboot I always get that error says "not allowed". tried sd card update with press volume up + down no luck, also tried it with removing the battery but same. I think its hard bricked or something if you find a solution please let me know.
Thanks a lot !

also did u tried different recoveries it may be bad recovery file

thanks for the fast reply. when I connected via fastboot its doesn't shows the serial numbers. its shows like question mark instead of serial number. I cannot find the stock recovery file , I only tried with twrp recovery and it gave the that message " Not allowed". I think I don't have driver issue but I will try though.
