Alright so, earlier today I rooted my phone and everything was fine, so just a bit ago I wanted to install a custom rom from fastboot. For whatever reason, I was unable to do it via ADB in flashtools(just rebooted me back into system when I tried), so I tried it manually (hold volume up and then plug in usb) - at first it told me I needed drivers, so I went into flashboot's driver installer and reinstalled Ion, fastboot, and flashmode drivers. Unfortunately (just like the first time I installed the drivers) the "Google USB" failed to install. However, the Ion driver installed successfully, and now instead of saying I need drivers, it will say "27/036/2013 17:36:06 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
27/036/2013 17:36:06 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" and if I click check drivers, it'll give me this: "27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :
27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6DDE\6&DF2EE03&0&6 Driver installed : true

27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - List of fastboot devices :
27/036/2013 17:36:10 - INFO - - none"
Am I bricked, or stuck in fastboot or something? Hopefully someone can help me, thanks.
(P.S - I have an Ion LT28at and am on unmodified except for root AT&T ICS)

I guess that's just a minor soft brick.
How about force restarting it ?
Press and hold the power button and volume up button at the same time
5 seconds > restart phone
10 seconds > shutdown phone

Worked. I feel like an idiot for not trying that before - I knew how to force shutdown but when I did it I didn't do it for 5 seconds as I was panicing. Anyways, any help in terms of the fastboot? Thanks alot though, either way.

Happy you got it working
Restart your PC and everything, start fresh,
And just follow the manual method of connecting.
Hold down volume UP key while connecting it to PC and the LED light should turn blue.
Also install the drivers once again. Go to C:/ > Flashtool > drivers > fastboot drivers > install
Hope it helps

Ugh, it just keeps turning on and going to the "charging" screen. Any tips, as this is extremely aggravating?
(I was successfully able to install the drivers btw, by disabling driver signature enforcement - I'm on Windows 8 :I)

Try on Windows 7 and also use 2.0 USB port
And one thing i think i should have asked you before. Is your bootloader unlocked ?
Yo need an unlocked bootloader to perform fastboot actions

Ah, crap, there's my problem. I don't think the ATT version's bootloader is unlockable unless I were to pay someone with a kit (did it with my play) if there are any people that do it with the Ion, could you link someone to me?

I bought an xperia ion some time ago and when i bought it, i could boot to fastboot mode, i rooted it and installed the cwm recovery for it, and was doing fine, then i dont remember what happened but i had to restore, so i flashed the genaric lt28h version via flashmode. then for a while i was stuck without root because the root script was not working, i tried to boot to fastboot mode and was not able, i checked my phones bootloader status and it said it was locked, but i was able to boot to fastboot before, but now i am no longer able. any ideas as to what happened?
thanks

How to get into flash mode!
**This works with all ION phones whether or not its AT&T bound or not.**
Once you achive Flash mode, you can use FlashTool to flash into ICS! this method also helps to get Debranded from AT&T
***I said debrand not Unlocked! remember two different things.***
1. Remove USB from your phone.
2. Shut down your ION.
3. Hold down the Volume Down button
4. While holding down the Volume down button plug in your USB to the phone.
After doing such, you should be greeted with the green light saying you are into flash mode!
If you need any help about achieving flashmode, please ask on this thread or read a few of the post *if any are here*
This should be in general section not development.
Mods please move thread.

Since its to deal with all of the firmwares, would it not count as development?

No the development section is for actually custom developed Android roms/kernels/recoveries etc.

Question about flash mode. I get the device to do the green light thing, but it only stays for about 5 seconds. I'm not sure if that is what is supposed to happen or not, but Flash tool says that drivers need to be installed. But when I go to the drivers folder, it is empty. I'm redownloading flashtool now to see if that solves the issue of the missing drivers, but is there anything else it could be?

That happens to me occasionally. Best thing to do is start the flashtool first and the flashing process then put your phone into flash mode and then you will not have to worry about it too much.
Awesome. I'm at work right now, but will try it out when I get home. Any idea why the drivers folder in flashtool would be empty though? I redownloaded it, but still the same thing.

Ok, so I located the drivers in Spectre51's thread about unlocking the bootloader. I'm pretty sure that my problem is that the phone does not stay in Fastboot mode. it does it (it being the green light) for about 13 seconds, then stops. The Sony Boot screen comes on, and then the charging symbol. meanwhile, I've seen windows try to install the driver, but the device "disconnects" (aka fastboot stops) before the drivers can be installed. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do at this point. I've tried different port and usb cables but all end the same way. This is what happens in flashtool:

You don't want fastboot, you want flasmode. The phone doesn't need to be on flashmode for adb. Adb drivers get installed when the phone is on and running the bat files.

Leave the phone with the charging on for a few hours.
Now connect the phone to the PC.
Then Press power + Vol Up simultaneously. The phone will vibrate once.
Immediately press power+vol down. The phone will go into flash mode.
It has worked for me and not for some others. Try it out.
Hello,
My problem is the following:
- If I connect my phone when it's on, it works just fine.
- If I connect it in fastboot mode (blue led) it isn't recognized. So i installed the drivers manually (after disabling the need for driver signature) and it said drivers were installed. But it still doesn't work propperly. In device manager my phone now gets recognized as Android ADB interface but there's still a yellow triangle there with an exclamation mark and in properties it says: Device doesn't start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

Had the same problem, could not get it running and kept on getting the " A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed" error on the usb device.
In the end the solution was simple and something that can only happen on Windows....
Follow the instructions in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575100&page=2 exactly.
You will find that you still have the same problem.
Then connect the phone to a different usb port (preferably one that uses a different internal port) or add a USB hub in between.
In my case it worked instantly.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks man.

I installed the drivers fine by turning off device signing, however still had an issue with the flashmode not recognising the device was connected.
The solution for me was just to connect the phone via a usb port on the PC itself (as opposed to connecting it via a USB port on the PC's monitor).

Do just that :- Step By Step
- open device manager
- connect in fastboot mode and click the s1 boot fastboot right away
- disconnect the device , without closing the s1boot fastboot windows !
- click update drivers -> browse for drivers on my computer -> let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
-> have disk -> browse and locate the device drivers -> press ok
- reconnect the device in fastboot and click next on the computer right away of the blue led

I think you dont need to disconnect the phone...
Open Device Manager in your windows, standby at that....Turn off your phone, and after it turned off, push and hold the Volume Up button and at the same time connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. This will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver search....
Once there is a popup in Device Manager with what word i cant remember, directly right click on it and point to the folder containing the driver...If the folder youre having, failed to give the driver required....Download driver below, my driver compilation...
http://www.mediafire.com/?dw77ineguikk7bo
Unzip the Xperia_Ion_Fastboot_USBDriver.rar and unzip both files that came out
that is fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and drivers.zip
Point out the driver search to drivers.zip folder...Hope it helps

That happen when you connect your cellphone to the pc before that the software (flashtool) ask you, besides you have to connect your cellphone while your press volup (or down accord with the function that you need) until the green or blue led is on. Try reinstalling flashtool or download the last version (do it again if you already have the last one).

if drivers are not installed properly.. Start Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 in "Disabled Driver Sginature Mode" (Google this if you don't know how)
if you think drivers are installed correctly.. then do one think cuz I also face the same issue.. Don't connect the Device and then try to FLash by the electric signal..
first select the firmware .. click ok.. then let the software tell u.. to connect the Device.. do that and it should work !! let us know.
Drivers are "SEMC Flash Device" for "S1Boot Fastboot". And when i try to load kernel first when device is disabled it gives me this.

and i dont know how to flash via electric signal
Emma software from Sony works well for recovery my phone to original ROM and Kernel.
Maybe "back" button is stuck. Can you boot into android (doesn't matter is it custom rom or official firmware)
Also, try different usb port or different usb cable
Untill you found a solution you can flash custom kernels in .ftf format (you can flash them in flash mode)

I dont think the "back" button is stucked. Cuz when i power off phone and holding back button and connect it gives me Green LED and when Search button its gives me Blue LED. Problem is not in phone but in Flashtool. If I have flash mode on phone devices shows me "S1Boot Flashmode" when fastboot "S1Boot Fastboot". I tryied all usb ports on my PC and 4 USB Cables (1 Original from XPlay and 3 others from different samsung phones) and Yea I can boot into android, and i tryied flash custom kernels in .ftf format but its always brick my phone and I must use Emma software for Revive the phone . Sorry my english is very bad

Yeah, it looks like phone is ok
Try to uninsatll all related drivers from PC (go to device manager, righ-click on driver, then "uninstall"). Do it when for all 3 modes (flash, normal and fastboot mode)
Then disconnect and connect phone again.
Or choose to manually install drivers for
Or reinstall flashtool

Okay I downloaded uninstalled my flashtool, then uninstalled drivers, installed flashtool 0.9.10.1, then drivers from C:/Flashtool/drivers and installed just Xperia PLAY and fastboot drivers, then i connect device in fastboot (Blue LED) and it says "08/045/2015 11:45:32 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
08/045/2015 11:45:32 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
" but i installed them, so i installed them manualy i searched for them somewhere, from 3 drivers i selected Android Bootloader Interface but everytime it install Android ADB Interface so problem is in drivers i think.

if you are using Windows 8 or 8.1 .. try going into "Disable Signature mode for Drivers" in advanced startup and then try installing the Drivers !!
btw I install ADB drivers from the ADB package.. that is in the folder Fastboot and ADB Package\Drivers\google-usb_driver
try this.. but install in the mode I told u above.. uninstall the previous devices.. and when it Says Confirm Uninstall theirs a small box below that telling u "delete Drivers" and Uninstall.. tick that.
