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.

I had the same problem, try disabling your firewall and disable the security installed in your pc when you try this..
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

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..

hi, i have the same problem my phone goes away from fastboot state very soon! i cant do anything using fastboot.exe.
(Xperia acro s) blue led turned on and after a few seconds sony trade mark shown!
Crap, I was rooting my friends phone and then did stuff with mine and I think I flashed the wrong TA. Now the phone won't turn on. When I plug the USB in, I only get a blinking red light. Am I toast?

Plz test can you get in flash mode(bootloader mode)..... press and hold the vol down key for a few seconds then connect the usb cable now(For the first time, windows will say installing flash drive driver). Then run flashtool and see if you can flash .ftf firmware, it can also wipe the TA. Make sure you installed PCC or Xperia driver set, and quit PCC before you run flashtool.
Just to clearify:
What exactly did you do with your phone?
Does "stuff" mean you tried to root it?
Which tool did you use? Easy Root Tool?
I can't really see what could go wrong there which could cause a brick...

I couldn't get it to boot in flash mode. Any button combination I try results in nothing more than a red blinking light.

Used easy root tool. His phone rooted fine and works. The problem is I restored back to stock on my phone and there's a chance I used his TA by accident. Everything was fine until I rebooted the phone and nothing happened. When unplugged, nothing will happen no matter what. When plugged in, the light blinks and that's it.

Try previous version than 50, might be the 45 as it stable enough, i guess.
And before that, have you charged your phone? Mi recovery wont boot if under 20% battery.

Try volume up+connect phone to PC. If it isn't detected try charging it for 30 minutes and then the same thing. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable and/or different USB port on your PC.

That sounds exactly like the situation I had. Your motherboard is probably fried. Get it to your service center. Especially if you have the warranty.

I was in the same situation. For me sometimes I got port 9008 and sometimes USB device not recognized. However every time I got a Sahara Fail. Keep trying to flash the s288 row with different cables/ports. That's all I can think of.

he just said he heated on the memory chips or something like that .. apparently the flashing problem was my win 10 device . because once the phone show 9008 com on flashing software the flash process went ok on his win 7 device
There's another thing that I would like to add. When the flashing fails and phone becomes dead(seems dead), it is not in a powered off state i.e. it actually is in a dormant state in some occasions. That is, it doesn't respond to any actions performed like plugging to pc, plugging charger e.t.c.
For older phones with a removable battery, we could simply remove the battery and turn the phone off completely before trying to flash again.
But since newer phones like our Vibe P1 doesn't have a removable battery, we need to switch the phone off manually.
There is a method for that given in this link.
