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..
When I Unlocked The Bootloader and Was Going To Start Root Process.. I had The Same Problem..
If I remember Correctly It Was a Driver Issue..
In FlashTool Folder There Is Another Folder Called Drivers.. Have U Tried Installing The Fastboot Drivers From There..?

I don't have anything from flashTool. The guide I used is this: AddictiveTips . com and searched for Root xperia S (it's the one that doesn't say gingerbread.) if that can help in any way.

Ok.. You Are Trying To Root Using Fastboot Mode..
I Assume You Have Already Unlocked The Bootloader.. Which Firmware Version You Are Using.. Is It Sony ICS 6.1.A.0.452..?

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..

Got that part working now, now just to fix to problem with the phone going out of fastboot mode way to fast. But I think I have seen a guide for that somewhere else.
I will report back after future succes or failures with the project.
Got bootloader unlocked!
Thanks alot for the help with Flashtools. All the guides I found just asumed that you just knew a lot of things which kinda complicated it for me.
Again, Thanks!

No Problem My Friend.. I am Glad I Helped You..!!!
neither fastboot nor flashmode!!!!!
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.

Hello I have an Xperia S, with bootloader locked and recently installed a ROOM in order to get the 6.A.1.2.55 with root.
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..

Oh, dude flashtool just need your device driver and you have to press back button untill you connect your phone on your pc and it also shown on flashtool which is included in procedure of flashing through flashtool and one thing PC not need to recognized your device because flashtool is the only one method to recover bricked phone. that's it .. if you got confused then please search on google you will find the solution.

Dear bjchettri
I do appreciate all your efforts
I have to explain the situation just to make things more clear because it looks like you misunderstand me
when I connect my phone (in all modes "Bootloader, Fastboot, normal, recovery..etc) nothing happens on my pc
even in device manager (i'm using Microsoft windows) the system doesn't show any item for a new attached device or an item for an defined attached driver (which used to appear all modes)
the flashtool needs the system to find an attached device to communicate with (usually the attached device name looks like "android phone", SE android or something this (depends on ur phone brand, model)
now since my system doesn't find any device when I connect my mobile then the flashtool won't be able to communicate with my device (even if i tried to boot my device in all modes "bootloader, fastboot, normal, recovery) by holding specific buttons (menu or volumn down or back buttons)
and if you read my question you will see that i was asking if anyone knows any way to connect my phone using testpoints or something like this because i though maybe I can let my pc to recognize my phone using the testpoints method.
I'm not sure but if i could make my phone recognized by the pc then i will have like 10 ways to find the problem and fix it.

sony boot you say, then you were at stock kernel. Look for a JB kernel like LuPuS, nAa, etc and flash it via Flashtool. Then boot to recovery, either by back button or volume down button depending on the kernel then wipe all, flash respective rom, flash gapps then modules.
thanks for fast answers!!!
haha it cant be less stresfull cause it`s not my phone i googled but when i connect flashtool it wont recognize device either :/ ?

I`m gonna install now a update with sony pc companion and i`m not gonna touch further? maybe only if you have some tips to suscces cause i couldnt...

nevermind sony pc companion if you want a custom JB rom.
First check if your bootloader is unlocked by entering in dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then navigate to System Info>Configuration then check if Bootloader Unlocked:yes, if it says allowed:no, you have to bring it to sony and pay for it to be unlocked,. Or unlock it with testpoint method, which I think is delicate.
Make sure ADB is on.
click the link below then choose the respective kernel for your ROM:
Kernels
choose if it is 4.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2 or what is based by your chosen ROM.
Turn off phone>hold the menu button(back button, home button, menu button) then connect it to pc
Open flashtool>click the thunder>Fastboot mode>Select kernel to Flash then navigate to the file.
I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.
Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.
I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.
How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.

try fastboot....see if the led turns blue..[power + vol up for fastboot]
if it turns blue...its not hard brick...flash kernel..then flash rom
How did you flash it? If you were using PC Companion or SUS, I believe the warranty may cover that.
Otherwise, let's see...
According to Google search, the Qualcomm CPU has a built-in USB download mode, which is the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" that you see. When the device fails to boot it will enter this mode.
Perhaps try to enter flashmode?
Pull out the battery and wait for about a minute or so.
Insert the battery, close the back cover, then hold Volume Down key.
Insert USB cable and wait for the PC to detect it.
If the PC detects it, then flash (again)!
If the PC does not detect it or it detects as "QDLoader" again, perhaps try to pull out the battery and wait longer...
If it keeps entering "QDLoader" then your phone is really hard-bricked. It may still be possible to reflash, but we don't have the drivers and files, so just send it back to warranty, whatever.
* Just by the way, I think you can also enter the "QDLoader" mode by pressing Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn?

Hi I got a similar case :/ I was partitioning my sd card with Aparted but as soon as I turned off my Xperia M to reboot it it got bricked and hasn't been working since. Cant get it to into flashboot mode or flashmode to flash the original firmware. No lights or buttons are working although when I connect it to my pc it detects it in usb but not as the phone itself. Is there anyway at all I can fix this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For everyone with the brick situation, do you have a locked bootloader?
I know one user said they tried the volume down+insert USB cable into the computer, you did try this with PC Companion ready to repair the software?
Sony Update Service restores the bootloader on locked bootloader phones, true? If the stock bootloader is corrupt somehow, SUS could repair it.

I am having the same issues as well, but with my Xperia V. It doesn't come up at all. It only shows the green LED when I try to fastboot or try flash mode. Please help me to resolve. I can't stand the wait for waranty to resolve. How can I still flash custom ROM?

ansebovi, thanks so much. You can't imagine how much I've trouble seeking help. My phone is now up, with the stock ROM. Can I flash a custom ROM with Flashtool?

Root > Unlock your Bootloader > Flash Custom ROM from flashtool or from CWM recovery mode
This qdloader is how Sony load the phone with software in the first place. Qualcomm's version of flashmode. Afaik only OEM have access to the software for this.

Guys, i need help too!!!! :'(
I tried to swap my internal and my external memory by using the mothod on a video on youtube called "how to swap xperia m /dual on 4.3".
And here's what happened after I rebooted: My xperia M is stuck on the boot screen (it goes till the multicoloured wave), and then it starts up again and again and again!!!! Also, I can't get my phone to connect in flash mode when I connect it to my pc so as to install the official ftf file I've downloaded, becase when I try to connect it with my pc, the phone's led just turns up red, then green (for just some seconds), and then goes back to the booting screen!!!! I have an Xperia M single sim, rooted, with a locked bootloader!! PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE!!!!! :'(
