im trying to unlock the bootloader but everytime i connect the phone the LED goes blue for 5 seconds then goes back to the charging screen. ive tried multiple drivers and even disabled driver certificates in windows 8. i just cant get this to work.
Try installing the android 4.x drivers through sdk.

You have to put W8 in testmode to be able to install all proper drivers
You can Google how to do it, it's easy then just install the drivers from flashtool/driver folder

I had the same problem with my cousin's pc, and a friend is also having it. I think you should force the reinstall of all drivers (if you're on Win 8, don't forget to disable signature driver check)
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
Sorted it,.flashtool done a manual install of all drivers which solved the problem

you need to extract it first, it should be a FTF file format... From there you should be able to use Flashtool

Use flash-mode in flashtool for stock versions of ftf. Not fastboot.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app
I tried using the flash mode!!!
My phone remains in the flash mode for about 5-10 seconds & then it goes back to charging!!!!
Make sure the fastboot/any necessary driver are installed....
And when it ask to enter the flashmode,power down your devices,then press volume down button (HOLD) and insert the usb cable,don't let go the volume down button as soon as the cable is inserted in...wait for a few seconds after the green light aka flashmode appeared...

Drivers can be found in the drivers folder of flash tool. Also make sure no other program is using abd. Eg: Sony update software.

you must have the fastboot and flashmode drivers installed on your pc ,and the xperia s drivers also.....
you enter fastboot when you turn off your phone and you have to press volume up while you connect your usb to pc and you see a blue led .....
i assume fastboot is working before you unlock your bootloader as you unlock the bootloader using fastboot...
what do you want fastboot?

I want fastboot to install custom roms on my device. I could use a hand getting the drivers to work.
My system is windows 8 which is know there is issues with but i have tried:
Plugging phone in while holding volume button.
Lights comes on green and windows sees the device.
Right click and click update.
Select the drivers and select bootloader interface
plug the phone back in and click next
Then the update fails.
Any thoughts?
You need to disable driver signature verification. Do an advanced restart from windows 8, from there there is an option to disable it. After that you should be able to install the drivers fine.

You can not unlock the bootloader without fastboot.
Some phones can access fastboot some are locked out. Chances are, if you paid a discount price through your carrier, your phone has fastboot blocked. If you bought the unlocked full price version you should have access.
You can check if the phone can access fastboot. With the phone off, press volume up and plug into a charger/pc. Do you get the blue led on phone? If no blue led then pc drivers won't help.

Thanks for your help, the light is green so im guessing I dont have fastboot. Is there any other ways I can install custom roms to my phone? Or un block fastboot?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem! im so sad, im going to seel this one and buy an unlocked one.
If you are with windows 8 connect your phone by an usb 2.0 port. This solve your problem. Fastboot, flash mode and software like Emma, flashtool doesn't support usb 3.0 with windows 8.
Best regards
Look the end of that post

Make sure your pressing the volume up button to enter fastboot mode, blue led. If you press the down button you should get the green led for flash mode. They are different modes. Flash mode is for .ftf files. Fastboot is for .sin files.
From the dialer enter *#*#service#*#* or *#*#7378423#*#* then click on configuration. This will tell you if you can unlock or not.

Then no fastboot. My AT&T branded Ion is this way. When I do the service code in previous post, configuration shows bootloader unlockable NO. Means no official unlock, no unofficial way yet to unlock at all

There are a few things you must do
1. You must install flashmode and fastboot drivers
2.you must select xperia play as current device
3. Reboot into fastboot via ADB
4. Once booted into fastboot mode, click on select kernel to flash.

Update your version of flashtool uninstall the drivers from device manager. Reinstall never androxide flastool reinstall drivers make sure debugging is enabled. Then you should he good to go. If it don't work that means you need a new micro USB cable..
