[Q] How to set up the drivers for flashtool?

I've installed fastboot, and installed the drivers for my xperia play (R800x) while it's in fastboot, so I've successfully unlocked the bootloader (got the code back when you still could for free), rooted using zergRush, and have successfully flashed DooMKernel.
However, i've tried to just flash the CM7 (CDMA of course) using fastboot only to get a black screen (which prompted me to flash DooMLorD's kernel). I saw the .ftf file above the CM7 download, so i googled what to do with it (the post didn't say you had to do anything with it). So, I discovered flashtool, and I've read both this and this guide, however I can't get flashtool to recognize my R800x when I plug it in.
I have extracted both of the flashtool files and merged them, so flashtool loads fine, and the .ftf is read fine, however flashtool just will not recognize my R800x when it's in flashmode (blue light).
For the drivers I did launch Gordon's Gate and install it in the drivers folder (Gordon's Gate folder inside the drivers folder) and i did install all of the drivers from the installer inside that folder successfully.
I can't understand why it won't recognize it, so I just need someone to clearly explain to me how to set up the drivers for flashtool for my Xperia Play. (flashtool 0.4.2 downloaded from here)

By not recognizing it do you mean that it doesn't give the PLAY as a device option? Cuz flashtool doesn't list the PLAY but still works if you select x10 or Arc. And by the way, blue light does NOT mean flash mode, it means fastboot mode. Green light (hold back button when plugging in) means flash mode. So it probably doesn't see your device cuz it's in fastboot mode

You must be in Flash Mode, not fastboot mode, when you are trying to use flash tool. You must hold the BACK button, NOT search button for flash mode.

Oh wow, what a stupid mistake x.x, so I'm not 100% sure I fully flashed it. I went through the procedure til it told me to turn on my phone and then turn on debugging and unknown sources, then i turned it back off and reflashed. The second time it asked me for a device, i chose the Arc according to the jacklebott, then it ended with this

I then unplugged it and turned it on, i guess that was the end... right?

That should do it

[Q] Unlocking bootloader - Xperia S does not stay in fastboot mode

Hey guys!
I'm trying to unlock boot loader on my Xperia S.
I tried the official way - via Sony Development site but I get stuck on the step where you have to connect the phone and push Volume Up button. Problem is that the phone enters the fastboot mode for 5 seconds, but then shows the battery charging logo and it 'quits' the fastboot mode.
Also, when the phone enters the fastboot mode, I should be asked for a driver, but I'm not.

}
Later I tried using the fastboot tool, found here, but the instructions aren't clear, because it seems that the new version is slightly different as the older one. Anyways, when I want to fastboot it (labeled with B) it enters the fastboot mode for 5 seconds, then the phone turns on again.

The problem is your windows system doesn't have the right fastboot usb drivers installed for your device. If those are not detected it will leave fastboot.
I can't help you with how to get those installed fully. But i think I ended up manually updating a hidden device in device manager. I think it stays around there as a disconnected device which you can update.
Hope this at least points you in the right direction.

I can also confirm I did something similar on my Win7 64x - had to manually force some drivers for the fastboot mode.

From A to Z, please
Okay guys,
first of all, thank you!
Ok, let me explain:
1. what I want: get rid of sony's firmware and flash CyanogenMod11
2. phone: Xperia S, my current firmware: 6.2.B.1.96, (still) locked bootloader , no CWM, no root access, SONY PC companion installed
3. I'm following this tutorial: http://www.androidhogger.com/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-11-android-4-4-xperia-s.html
4. I stuck when it comes to root xperia s http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/xperia-s-lt26i-root-android412-jellybean-ota-501291, but this tutorial says I have to unlock bootloader before. Well okay.
5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447319
I DID everything as said in instructions till the 10th step, but then the ******* phone does not stay in Fastboot mode. My computer installs (apparently) some random drivers -> it does not ask me what I want to do, 'because the driver wasn't installed successfully'., so I can not point to the usb_driver folder.
I tried updating the driver through the Device manager where 'S1 Boot Fastboot' shows when I enter the fastboot mode, but can't finish because the phone quits fastboot and the SONY's logo apperas before I manage to do anything.
I also installed alternate driver pack (link in DooMLoRD's tutorial), but it doesn't change anything.
That's it, guys. I REALLY hope you can help me, because I can't stand the official firware anymoreeeee. I know you rock the stage of phones
Cheers!

From A to Z, please

Xiaomi Redmi 7 - bricked/only EDL mode available

Hello,
I got an issue with my Xiaomi Redmi 7. I was trying to install TWRP with adb, but something got wrong, and now my phone seems dead, bricked.
Nothing happens when I try to turn on, can put on fastboot mode (with power+volume down), nor restart it with power+volume up. The screen are just black, and even the notification led doesn't light up when I connect the charger. My guess is the phone is in EDL mode.
Connecting to my computer it recognizes it as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", and I can see it on MiFlash, but when I try to flash any stock rom, it stucks in the very beginning. Here's a screenshot:

I've tried different versions of the stock rom, MiFlash and computers, but got the very same result.
Do you have any idea what can I try to bring it back to life?
Thank you in advance!

Hey mate, I'm not sure if you fixed it or not but I'm pretty sure that if it can boot to fastboot it's not bricked. What I suggest you would do right now is install xiaomi drivers onto your pc first and foremost (this actually fixed all my problems) then try to use adb and fastboot tools to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. if that works you're safe and then proceed to advanced wipe, then vendors and system wipe then in an SD card or an otg flash USB install the lastest global or Europe ROM for miui 11.

not custom rom and not root, in video i show recovery mode and i cant enter in android configuration

Go into recovery mode (with the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power) and you see what options are available. I'm not suggesting anything because I don't know the device, but I'll hint when I see a screenshot in recovery mode.

The image shows that the system booted into safe mode, not recovery mode. Can you check with the adb devices command how the phone connected to the PC responds?
Recovery mode looks like >this< video at 1:30.

Since there is no Google service in my area, I can't send it back to the manufacturer for repair.

If your Pixel device is hard bricked, meaning it is completely unresponsive and cannot be turned on, there are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the issue. Here are some steps you can try:
Try a hard reset: Press and hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously for at least 15 seconds to perform a hard reset. If your device is responsive, this should force it to reboot.
Check your USB connection: Make sure that your device is properly connected to your computer via USB. You can try using a different USB port or cable to see if this resolves the issue.
Use fastboot to flash a factory image: If your device is still unresponsive, you can try using the fastboot tool to flash a factory image onto your device. This process can be complex and may require technical knowledge, so it is recommended to follow a detailed guide or seek professional assistance.
This is based on my experience but maybe some expert can suggest better treatment, I request them to suggest a solution.

Thank you for your answer.
1. no response to any key operation on the device, the power button volume keys +- tried many times for a long time, there will be no response
2. replace the usb and port to connect to the computer there is no connection device other than the com port
3. I can't connect the phone to the computer to use Google's online fastboot tool to reset the phone because I can't turn it on.
Thanks again for your answer.
