Hi,
I tried to install TWRP (by a lot of different methods) but they didn't work. I was also have a fastboot & flashtool driver problem so I couldn't install it using computer either.
One day I saw an app in the play store called ROM Installer. I downloaded it and tried to flash twrp.img using it. It said flashing was succesful. Now I rebooted my phone to recovery (by the NDR Utils app) but it was just powered off and than red LED lighted up. After 20 minutes I removed the battery. (It didn't react to anything else) Then I tried to boot it but it didn't react. (nor boot to recovery or boot to safemode)
After 5 hours when I tried to boot it again it showed that battery is exhausted (by the red LED) I connected it to charger but it didn't do anythig except the LED lighting. If I disconnect it it shows the -exhausted battery sign- again.
If I connect it to my computer the red LED lights up but nothing else. The computer doesn't recognise it. I have no idea how to power it again.
Really thanks guys to help me.
PS I'm a novice so pls be patient (and sorry for my mistakes as well)
Other details:
Phone: Xperia M C1905
Android: 4.3 Jelly Bean
Build number: 15.4.A.1.9
Phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader
did u unlock your bootloader before flashing the recovery????

are you sure your device is really on unlocked bootloader condition? if that really on unlocked bootloader condition you only need to wipe data via flashtool. BTW install recovery on stock rom is only using flashtool for safe way. and usually CWM is only work on stock rom but if you want TWRP you can using FOTARecovery. i think that from kernel problem, cause if you install any recovery from app in playstore they will change your kernel with another kernel that have recovery mode. but if that kernel isn't compatible with your phone, your phone will soft brick. are you sure you have problem with flashmode and fastboot driver on your pc? i can tell you advanced than this if you can tell me which OS do you using it right now on your pc.
Don't worry your phone not fully broken

Thanks for replying.
My device on unlock bootloader I'm sure. (I called a strange number it showed a menu and in device info option it showed bootloader is unlocked.
Driver problems: When I connect the phone in fastboot mode the flashtool usually says: device not found - install the drivers from... I installed the drivers of my phone but it still didn't worked. I tried to update the 's1 boot fastboot' driver in device manager (picked the winusb inf file) but it said that that was a problem during installing: adb interface is missing. (but now I can't boot my device into fastboot mode)

Oh ok locked bootloader is another issue. Anyways try booting the rom on safe mode. Just power on your phone, when sony logo shows up press and hold the hardware menu button. If it fails and flashtool also fails then bring it to service center.

So I was about to root my Xperia S and started reading a guide, it said that I would need to load some files into the phone using fastboot. After a while I figured out how to fastboot and managed to get the popup on my computer once, however, I didn't install it that time and now when I try to fastboot again I get the blue LED on my phone, my computer makes some noises indicating that something unusual have been conected, nothing happens and the phone shows the Sony logo.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem and get the popup on the computer to re apear.
I run a 64 bit windows 7 home premium.
Thanks.

Hi HugNikanor..

So for Unlocking Bootloader You have to use fastboot mode.. ok
and after that, for rooting it should be done using flashtool in fastboot mode..
so here is the thing.. Download The Flashtool first And After extracting the files You'll Find a Folder Named Drivers.. first Install The Fastboot Drivers Even To Unlock The Bootloader..

Hi,
I can't connect my phone in flashmode nor in fastboot mode. Whenever i connect it in flashmode/fastboot mode my PC stucks(hangs) and i have to restart it again i have installed all the drivers for all devices but still the problem exists. Any help in this regards???
Also to mention i'm using Windows XP SP3 and flashtool version is 0.9.1.0.
I have also one more issue when i connect my phone to the charger when it is switched off the phone does not charge at all it simply shows me the sony logo and keeps showing it again and again but never charges. In short when my battery is complete i cannot get it back to life due to this problem but thank god that i have installed CWM on my phone.
Thanks for helping i'll also post this in the development section also.
I have no idea to your problem, but I would guess that it have something to do with you using xp, or maybe some damage on your phone.

Installed from a ZIP from recovery mode following this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2009672
Now when I try to do step 7 (flash kernel and Baseband) Using Flashtool, Im unable to enter to the mode; when the windows prompts me, I turn off the phone, press and hold Vol up connect the USB but nothing happens, only the Sony Logo and then the icon of charging battery, I also tried to turn off the phone while holding Power button + Vol up (at the same time) and get the 3 vibrations, but the same result when I connect, the logo and the charging animations/icon..( no LED of any color or anything)
Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..
Thank you..

You have to flash stock firmware with flashtool and wipe anything. Flashtool will recognize your phone.

Already starting to lose hope: (. Is there a way to repair.
I think the correct drivers are not intalled. You check this ? When led light change color as you said, maybe windows have trouble witth phone/flashtool driver

Correct drivers are not installed. Download the correct x64 drivers for fastboot. Now wen u connct your phone in fastboot. Just keep the device manager opened and right click on the fastboot device that pops up on the device manager. From there go for a manual device installation by doing have disk and pointing to the right winusb.inf file. Search the forum for this method and relax, your phone is not dead.

I'm probably not the best person to help with unbricking but have you tried following the unbricking guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 ?
Assuming your PC has the correct drivers installed (i.e. you could previously connect your phone in flashmode), what happens when you try connecting the phone while holding the Volume Down key? Does the LED light up green, red or not at all?
Fix is simple ...
1 Install flashtool drivers
2 the problem from the kernel !!
Install stock kernel ( take it from FTF ) and install it via Flashtool ...
Now it should be fixed

I bought a xperia ZL C6506 4.4.4 .283 firmware used for the soul purpose of rooting it and using it with AppRadio Unchained in my truck but it is giving me hell. All i need is root access and everything i have tried has failed. I downloaded flashtool and all the necessary drivers but i can't get the phone into flash mode. I can get it into fastboot just fine. I am trying to flash the .230 firmware so i can root and then go back to .283 but flashtool throws an error in fastboot mode. I tried twrp recovery using adb fastboot command line but it just didn't work. I am new to sony and I'm pretty annoyed because i bought it because it was supposed to be easy as opposed to my GS5. Towelroot says device not supported. Easy root throws adb database out of date errors or just hangs at waiting for device. WTF!
Any thoughts on how i can fix flashmode to work with flashtool or get root access. I am not interested in doing much modding with this just need root.
Thanks

I guess flashmode is disabled in your region by your manufacturer. Strange but usually they disable fastboot mode too. Were you able to goto flashmode when you intially bought your mobile?
While connecting to ur laptop using Usb cable press and hold volume down button and see if the green flash led stands. At this this if you have already installed the needed drivers for flashtool , it should be able to detect your phone. If you have windows 8.0 and up make sure that you sign your drivers before installing it to laptop, else your drivers will fail to install in your laptop and flashtool will not detect your mobile even if you put it in flashmode.
Oddly enough i plugged it in this morning without opening flashtool or anything and tried to put it into flash mode and it worked. Windows installed a seperate driver and then i got everything working.
Thanks for the reply

If the LED light blink red then green then turn off. That doesn't mean it's not working.
