Hey guys, I'm trying to unlock my bootloader and when I hold the search button and plug in the usb, the blue light comes on for a few seconds but then the orange light comes on for charging. Can someone tell me how to make it stay in the fastboot mode? Thanks.
Isn't fastboot activated by the back button?

Thats a green led light for something else.
Oh yeah now I remember. Back button is used for flashing an ftf file.

did u check if you phone can be unlocked?
follow:

for service menu instructions
BTW: no need to make it extra large - we are all capable of reading and will take our glasses if needed...

I checked and it said no but the blue light turned on for a couple seconds and I don't think it's supposed to if that's the case.
Sorry to resurrect this thread (though it isn't that old luckily!) but I'm having a similar problem. I've got the correct drivers installed (device manager shows that it's installed properly), I've checked in the config menu on the device itself and it shows 'Bootloader unlocked: Yes', but when I plug the USB cable in and hold the search button to go into fastboot the blue light will come on very briefly then turn orange to show it's charging. Has anyone got any ideads how I might fix this?

Don't plug it in first. Hold the search button, then plug it in, and keep holding it for a short moment.
Same here, it stays in for a few seconds then goes back to orange
I'm using WIN 7 64 and I think R800a but switched to Jellybean it says R800i now hmm
I hold the search button before it booted now nothing happens, but when I plug it into USB it does like what it would do if it was holding onto it
Hey folks.
So I got this Xperia S, never touched water, never dropped in water, etc. etc.
When I open it up, in the back the PH (I assume) strips are read (I assume they're supposed to be white)
When I connect charger the LED shows RED (constant) pushing keys does nothing (no vibration)
If I plug it into the PC while holding down volume DOWN the LED changes to GREEN
If I plug it into the PC while holding down the volume UP key the LED changes to BLUE
What do I do to fix it? It won't start, sometimes when I plug it in the "charging" animation plays for a brief second then dissapears.
Regards

its supposed to be white, red is for water damage.....as far as ur led light is concerned its working properly......those are the right colors .....if u still have ur warranty i suggest u send it back to sony......as u have not mentioned if ur boot loader is locked or not or that ur phone is not booting coz of the red strip or if u bricked it cant really suggest anymore......but if its bricked just connect it to pc via the vol up and connecting and install a ftf file of desired firmmware via flash tool....or if u have a locked bootloader use sony update service (SUS)

How long did you hold the yellow reset button for?? Did it vibrate while you were holding it down? If so how many times?
Are you able to get the device into Fastboot or Flashmode by connecting to the PC with Vol +/-??
Reset button,i hold for 15 seconds, and after vibrate 3 times, then when i do it after turn on power button, make nothing, only led red blinking, when i connect in fastboot mode (volume -) dont happen nothing, when plug on flashmode (volume +) only turn on led red, again.....
will be the battery problem? like to know if that?
thanks in advance
i have the same issue

hi there, i have the same issue with my xperia zl not charging just red led light flashing 3x but i manage to turn him back to life with this method,
1.push the reset botton untill the device vibrates 3x.
2.leave the phone alone atleast 2 days.(do not push any botton on the phone on that time span)
3.plug it in to your wall charger for an hour, then try to turn it on while still on the charger.
4.dont let your phone turn off ever again.
I do this every time for 4 months now. but im planning to get the z2 on december as my replacement!
hope it works for you.
Well, just download a program called Light Flow.. It's a program that manage the notification light

as I know its a battery problem.... I think you better replace the phone if its on warranty.
Any body have issues after replacement???.. Mine just went went for replacement...It restarts after SONY logo
I want my phone replaced. There is a display glitch in my zl which acc. to customer care is a software bug but i am experiencing it in every version.
Is there anyway i can make my phone reach that dead state so that it can be replaced?
How exactly did your ZL go into red led blinking state?

hi dude
i wanna ask
yesterday i use my HOX till battery empty [die]
when 1st i connect to charger, Red LED blink
and i try to turn on but after that Red LED is gone
i had to charge my phone several hours and try to turn it on again but can't
so anyone can help me?
Plug it in the pc and check what happends, or leave it on the wall charger again for a full night. If it won't turn on after that with different button combinations like power and volume up/down then there is nothing we can do !
