I'm trying to flash my Xperia Play using Flashtool, however I'm not sure where I get the Xperia Play drivers from, as in device manager the phone isn't recognised and it just says 'S1 Boot Download'.
I have had it working before, but I can't remember what I did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
S1 boot is fastboot, you dont use flashtool from fastboot, flashtool drivers strangely enough are in the drivers folder.

I installed these drivers if I remember correctly View attachment x86.rar
This is a 32 bit version,tell me if you need the 64 one

can you please post the x64 bit file ? thanks
I tried those in the attachment but flashtool still isn't working... It just keeps saying flash failed... I don't think they're the right drivers. :/

Even using the drivers in the Flashtool folder gives me the same effect... This is what I get...

Are you in flash mode? (Green light; power off, hold back button and plug it in)
Yep... It's worked fine before, but I used a different set of drivers someone from this forum posted up... But I cannot find his post.
hello guys
i have a major problem i have installed a corrupted rom and i can't use my phone i need to boot in recovery but my volume button does not work
and my question is how i can boot recovery without using volume buttons
N.B:my phone is turned off
While it is switched on, if it is plugged into a computer, can you see it if you run the command 'adb devices'?
If so, try 'adb reboot recovery'

NOTHING ABOUT MY Problem
As it was mentioned above: with the phone turned off, if you plug the USB cable you should see it with 'adb devices' command. the LED should light (if I remember right in blue). if it does, run the command as mentioned above...
if not... I have no idea. Maybe you can contact with the developer of the ROM...

Yes, but from what I have seen it handles 'normal' scenarios.
Also, from my experience, he was trying to get the straight answer, without the need to read tens of pages...
The picture OP posted shows that either ADB is not installed or that he is trying to run it from an incorrect location. The guide that was posted has explanations for both of those problems.
thanks guys i have solved the problem
i have installed Android SDK
then i wrote in cmd
adb
adb reboot recovery

to get the drivers, just go to your xperia flashtool folder, then drivers then install the flashtool drivers through the applications. if you dont have it yet, download flashtool.

I have flashtool, but then what do i next, open up the command prompt, then what?
in your hard drive, go to the flashtool folder usually in the C: drive. in that folder will be another folder called "drivers" in that folder is an install file.

You cant on the R800x. The only is flashing a custom kernel and to see if your xperia play boots to the homescreen.

Actually chevyowner told me that I could do this "IF you wan't to check if your bootloader is unlocked, put the phone in fastboot mode and run "fastboot getvar secure" without parentheses
what that does is check the device security
yes is locked
no is unlocked"
I haven't been able to test it will tomorrow tgoufh

Drivers aren't installed then.
I had a phone that couldn't get into fastboot, R800at. I was able to get the unlock code from Sony's website, but being unable to get into fastboot meant I couldn't use it.
Power off the phone, hold the search button, and plug the usb into the computer. If the LED turns blue, then you are in fastboot mode and need to install the proper drivers. If you don't have a blue LED you can't use Sony's official unlock process - instead have to use the testpoint method.

Quick question, how do i unlock my bootloader via flashtool?
It should be fairly easy if you have the correct drivers installed... Just use either the plugin option or the icon that looks like a padlock... It will ask you to put it in flash mode... Once you put it in flash mode it will bring up menu box with 2 slots... One for your imei/meid & one for your unlock code.... Just put in your unlock code...hit unlock... It will tell you to put it in fastboot mode... The rest is completed by flashtool.

For me the padlock is for rooting.
I might have been mistaken about the padlock but... Should be able to use the plugin option.

Press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. Then try connecting your phone in flash mode and flash the latest firmware using Flashtool.

Can you please describe the problem in detail? If you're having driver problems, then go to the drivers directory in Flashtool's folder and open the driver installation exe file and install the drivers for xperia s.

Is your boot loader unlocked? If yes, then you should be able to connect your phone in fastboot and flash a custom kernel so that you can access cwm and flash a rom from your internal storage.
If your boot loader isn't unlocked, then download Sony's official software called Sony Update Service and do a re-install of the phone's software. Installing SUS should take care of all the driver problems too.

my xperia t2 ultra dual is with bootloader unlocked. i want flash the rom stock in flashtools, but the debug is not identified when connected in flash mode. Someone Know like solve this problem?
For connecting in flashtool you have to switch off your phone and press volume down for flashmode and volume up for fastboot and connect USB and se confirmation on flashtool for connecting. I think it will helpfull for u..

I did that before of to open the posts. the problem is that, the flash tools not is identifying like debugging on. the program shows this message "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode", but i tried of every forms of connection usb, with debugging on, even so i didn't have success.
the smartphone is with rom CM11, with recovery clockworkmod and bootloader unlocked. The flashtools program, just identifies like debugging on, when my phone is connected . when i do try connect in flash mode, the program shows this messages "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" and " Device connected with USB debugging off".
i would of one original kernel, without recovery. if someone has. send me please.
