[Q] flash tool not working - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

flash tool not working for me says i for 2001 phones dont change mtp or something but i have xperia s :s

Maybe you have old version of Flashtool?

i just downloaded the latest from the website :/

Hmm, what about Phone driver, Flashmode and Fastboot drivers? Did you install them on your computer?

ill double check

03/051/2012 19:51:45 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
03/051/2012 19:51:45 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
i installed the drives :/

Try connecting it to another pc or another usb socket
And before all that... Restart ur pc
may work

Hmm, i had the same errors as you, but after i reinstalled Windows (they had some big problems ) everything is fine. (Dont do what i did heh) Try to restart Computer as drsanket_xperia_u said. Or unistall all drivers in device manager and install them again.

didnt work

If you connect your phone in flashmode to computer, does your computer see it?

yes it does its recognised the eroors come after i turn off the phone and hold down and power on thats when this comes:

hold down and power for a long time. if that doesnt work flash a new kernel with fastboot

i dont think there are any kernels available for locked bootlloaders so that may not be an option :/

Sorry didnt know it was a locked bootloader. If you can get into the os, flash cwm for locked bootloaders. Then you can flash the stock rooted version of the latest rom.

but you still have to flash the kernel and baseband through flash tool after so i will have the same problem

No the rooted version of the rom has kernel included. Flashtool can be an anus when it comes to drivers. Make sure you have checked the two bottom options in the driver install package, then reboot your computer. I just did a flashtool today and it went fine but sometimes it takes me a while to get it going. Make sure you have enough juice in your phone.

it says you need to flash kernel and baseband :/
Instructions:
* You need to have a previously rooted firmware with CWM installed. Good way to start is to have .45 firmware or .50 firmware and rooted.
* You need to have CWM installed
* Reboot to CWM and flash the zip file. (As always, make a backup and don't blame me if something goes wrong)
* After flashing is complete, power down the device and use flashtool to flash the latest Kernel and Baseband from .55 firmware (you can download the full firmware from below, but only flash Kernel and Baseband, otherwise you will loose root)
* Once completed, reboot and let the ROM settle down and there you go, you have the rooted latest firmware.
If you aren't getting CWM, follow this!

i want to delete the drivers and start again which exact drivers do i delete and which ones do i install?

For flashing CM you have to flash the CM kernel (boot.img) that comes in the zip package of CM , u hav to unzip the latest CM FXP package and flash boot.img through fastboot put the file boot.img in the same folder in your pc where fastboot is located and copy the CM Rom zip file on the root of your sdcard. Now connect ur phone in fastboot mode (turnoff & hold the search key while connecting to pc) check if ur phone is connected properly by entering the following command in command prompt
fastboot getvar version
if it return some value like 0.3 then ur connected correctly. Now for flashing the CM Kernel enter following command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If all is done correctly a message will appear in command prompt stating success.Now turn on the phone while the phone is booting up press the volume rocker repeatedly until the phone enters CWM recovery mode , now install the CM Rom from ur sdcard remember to perform a nandroid backup and wipe the data/cache before installing.

First restore ur phone to the official
firmware through nandroid restore (u had that backup right ?) then U have to use flashtool for flashing that official Rom, search for flashtool 2.9.1 beta (only this version is compatible with play not use version 3.0) u will find that in xda forums download the file and unpack on the desktop a folder flashtool will be created inside that folder look for subfolder named drivers there will be an executable file ggsetup.exe run that file to install the drivers necessary ,after that copy the firmware .ftf file in the subfolder named firmwares. Now switch off your phone but not connect to pc yet. Run flashtool.exe in that application you will find flash button click on it and then select the firmware u have downloaded to flash , now u will see several files such as adsp.sin etc show up on the right side of flashtool you have to select all those files by ctrl+a or click seperately to select all of them after you are done with it make sure you have clicked wipe data on the upper right side and then click flash now the flashtool screen will show this message - preparing files for flashing , now keep ur phone ready u have to connect ur phone only after a message showing a image of x10 popup because it has some timeout (keep the back button pressed when connecting to pc a green led should lit up on power on/off button that means u are connected in flash mode) now the flashtool should also show phone connected and it will start flashing firmware automatically. Once flashing is done turn on the phone go to settings and turn on usb debugging and unknown sources.
After that u have to repeat the process of flashing CM kernel and flashing CM through recovery described earlier.

[q] [help] boot loop!!

Hey...
I need super help!!!!!
I took my friend's phone (Arc LT15a), and killed the phone...
He had 2.3.3 no rooted...
I did root with flash tool and then installed recovery.
Then I tried to flash ICS ROOM VIA the recovery.
Now the phone is in boot loop and the flashtool is not recognise the phone..
What can I do??????????
looks like you dint flash ICS kernel for ICS rom..thats y bootloop...u need to flash a custom ICS kernel or go flash ICS 4.0.4 ftf in flashtools.
did u try the correct method to make your phone recognize in flashtools? coz this step is really important for you now..u need to flash a ftf file to make your friend's phone work again..
The phone is in MTP DEVICE
This is what I see in the flashtool :
30/004/2012 10:04:55 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
30/004/2012 10:04:55 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
30/004/2012 10:04:55 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
30/004/2012 10:04:55 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
(Thats After I installed the drivers...)
Is there anything that I can flash via the recovery?
Maybe someone can do full backup vie the recovery and give me the files and I'll do restore to his files??? Will that work?
as the error says you need to install drivers for your phone..do one thing..close everything and connect your phone in fastboot and flashmode both...windows will install drivers..or else you can download the drivers from here http://www.multiupload.nl/0XZV1LXRVA
install them and try again
you are stuck at kernel..so you can do any backup or restore...

Does flashtool recognize your device?
Like, does it say -
" Device connected in flashmode " ?
Try to re install the driver

DO IT ON UR OWN RISK
If u have twrp recovery then go to wipe/advanced wipe / select cache ,data, SYSTEM ALSO
after that open flashtool before connecting device , open 4.4.2 ftf file
And it will start preparing file and it will prompt u to connect ur device and then connect ur device it will successfully start flashing

Yes i already tried flashing 4.4.2 ftf but when i connect my phone while pressing volume down it will always bootloop
The 4.4.2 ftf is in firmwares
So replace it with new 4.4.2 ftf file

yes thats what i have been doing ever since i also tried 4.4.3 or the older 4.3
I want to emphasize that i know to flash firmware I know where to put it obviously.
I think there is no problem with the firmware.
I think the problem is every time i insert the phone via usb it will bootloop so i cant flash anything.
If you have advice just to stop the bootloop during flashing that would be great
Then its hardware problem may be

flash mode is terminating after 1 minute / no possibility to flash ftf-roms

Hi there,
using the flashtool I am able to flash new recoveries but not the complete roms because of a timing bug:
connecting the XM via cable / vol down the device is recognized as flash mode.
Exactly after one minute the flash mode is terminating by itself - and this is to short to flash a new rom (neither the preparation of the files has been finished).
=> anybody a solution for my issue?
=> has someone a dl link for the 4.3 stock rom (15.4.A.1.9-CE) as a zip? Zip files could be used, but no ftf flash files
If I wait for the connection of the XM until flashtool says "connect in flash mode" then an "ERROR flashing - aborted" occurs. Why?
The BL was unlocked directly before the error-flashing...
Thanks for your responses.
Error from wrong flashtool
My flashtool version was 0.9.19.8 and during the blu-process the level meter stucks.

Will it work if I disable Bootloader and then try and use the Xperia Companion Software repair? Will that get me an OS?
Close flash tool and connect your device in fastboot or flash mode (can't remember which one worked just try both) while xperia companian is on it will recognize it and it will try to reflash custom frimware alongisde with the custom rom. Or yıu can download a custom rom from android development and flash it. I recommend Xperia UI Mrom Light version 3.0.5 since it is a stock rom with root features and it has drm funcionality. You can connect your device to your computer and acesses its sd card while in TWRP recovery. So download rom zip and copy it your phone's sd card and then just flash it.
