Hi guys,
can i check how to go to fastboot mode in sony ericsson xperia ray? I got instructed to press Volume Up, turn on the phone then connnect the phone using USB cable to computer to get the phone to fastboot mode, but it just doesn't work, the LED doesn't turn to BLUE
I notice one thing that when the phone is one and connected to my computer through USB, when i press the volume up and turn off the phone, the LED then will turn to BLUE.... very weird
Appreciate any help, many thanks

1. Disconnect phone from USB
2. Turn off phone (make sure you have at least 50% battery) and wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold the 'Volume UP key' WHILE inserting the USB. --> LED turns blue = fastboot mode.
4. Leave the phone turned off
have you install drivers for fastboot from sony ericssons site? and you dont have to power up the phone press Volume Up and at the same time conect usb cable

rooting the phone should not affect the sound settings.
Did you check the sound options?
Xloud turned on?
I cant get my mini pro sk17i into fastboot mode. Tried waiting more than 30 seconds before plugging in usb cable, nothing.

I don't have SK17i, did you try holding the menu button instead of the volume up button? as they are different models.

You can try wwwong's suggest, or basically just try all the buttons on your phone. The design may be different between models, but you should be seeing same blue color LED when your phone is is fastboot mode

Here is a very nice video to unlock the bootloader. Step by step guide below it as well. It's for Arc but I followed that when I first unlocked my bootloader for my Ray.

NOTE: VOLUME UP KEY will enter fastboot mode (Blue LED).
Alright thanks alot...i will try it out and see how it goes....

Is your phone turned off? Look at the video above. It's the same general rules but different buttons are used.
I am having the issue, obviously our phones are branded... I THINK i might have actually unlocked the bootloader using S1TOOL with TP, but cant manage to get into fastboot... Is there any way to get around this issue anyone? And yes i have done everything right trying to get into fastboot...
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
Same problem
If you do not get blue led that means fastboot is not enabled I can enable fastboot and then unlock your bootloader for you.

Try Volume UP (vol+)
i'v tried every thing
no action at all
this happened after i press repair TA in octopus_se_1.0.9
after that i couldn't go into flash or fastboot mode any more
any help
power off, remove battery, wait 30s, put in battery, start seus, prepare everything, then plug in device as requested in seus (while plugin cable, hold vol- ).
does that work?
otherwise try another PC and do the same.
whether the vol up and down works fine when you listen to music? just a test to work the upper and lower vol

i can charge with it and mount storage
it doesn't go into flash mode so the problem has never to do with drivers
whats happen if you just connect your phone to computer?Does it work normally?If yes you mast have correct drivers allredy installed and you must doing something wrong trying get in fastboot mode.Once again take out battery for 30sec. put it back and keep your device off.Press and hold volume UP and connect it to usb.Volume down do not get you in fastboot.
Hi I have Xperia mini ST15i and I have a big problem.
First I enabled the bootloader ---> Fine
Second I root it ---> Fine
I want to install a custom rom ---> Crash
My phone crashed or something like that. When I turned my phone on it is Xperia(bootloader) Logo keep turning on and off. I deleted all the files on phone(removed android(I think)). Now the problem is that I see only Xperia logo nothing happens only that. I can acess boot loader but I don't know what to do next. Any Suggestions ?

Oh and no root is needed to install custom ROM. At all.

Switch off the phone, press volume down button, connect the phone through USB > green led ! Annd you're done

Green LED?! Blue LED must be lit up not Green LED! And also Volume Up key has to be pressed not Volume Down key.
Hold Volume Up key, then connect USB cable; Blue LED has to be lit up.
I recommend you not to flash it again, things will be worse. Give it somewhere to repair.

It's volume down. Volume up is used to enter fastboot, afaik.

Yes, and flash is possible from this way. I've not heard about flashmode. When Green LED lits up it means the phone is charging (If more than 90%).
Am I right?

You, sir, are a fail.
Blue LED is fastboot mode, not flashmode. Volume UP is fastboot mode, not flashmode.
EDIT: I see, you posted there between, before me.
Volume Down while turned off and connecting USB cable, is flashmode, where you can install stock firmware to your phone.
Volume Up etc... is fastboot mode, only used to install custom kernels(and unlock bootloader if using official way).
Got it, thank you.
Everyone excuse me for giving erroneous information.
Hi guys,
I know that here is a lot of infos regarding this, but I cannot get Fastboot mode on my XU. To get Flash mode is no problem (VOL_DOWN + cable), but I cannot get Fastboot mode (VOL_UP + cable). Am I doing something wrong?
a, turning phone OFF
b, plugging USB cable while pressing VOL_UP button
It's Xperia U. I tried to do it appr. 20 times but without success, phone is allways getting only chargin icon with red LED on right upper corner....
Thx
Does your phone boots?
Yes of course, everything is working OK except ability to enter Fastboot mode... That's why I'm asking if I'm doing something wrong or where's the problem... I want to unlock bootloader through Flashtool (I received unlock code from SONY by mail). But to do that, I have to connect phone in Fastboot mode
Brfore turns into charging mode is it light the blue colour?
Sent from my xperia sola using xda premium
No no. It's going only red (small LED in upper right corner) and I receive battery icon on screen. Is possible that I cannot enter Fastboot mode, because I have "Bootloader Unlock Allowed=NO"? But now I'm thinkning that my question is useless, because if my option =NO, then I'll be not able to unlock bootloader, even if I received official unlock code....

This phone will exit fastboot mode if you dont have the drivers installed correctly. You need to be fast to install them before the phone exits the fastboot mode.
Also you need to have your bootloader unlocked or it will not work.
Hello. I`m new here to xda-dev and i kinda need you help. I have a sony xperia u device, and today i tried to get its factory settings back. It restarted normally, but then it blocked. I waited several minutes and nothing happend. I removed the battery and tried to reopen it. It showed me Sony logo, Xperia, then blank screen, and restarted again. It keeps doing that, without opening for good. I tried to repair it with sony companion, but i cant get it connected due the fact it still restarting and keep disconecting from pc. What shall i do?

Just flash official ftf back with vol down. No need to press power button when you're booting to flash mode or fastboot mode. Just press vol + (fastboot) or vol - (flash) and plug in USB.

Flashing the formware does not require unlocking the phoen.

First shut it down, press power + volume down until you feel 3 vibrations (about 10 seconds)m if not take out the battery for a minute.
Download flashtool install and open it and connect in flash mode. It's wither volume down and connecting to pc or colume down, I am not sure about XU. If it shows it's connecting in flash mode and stay in this mode for about 45 seconds you can repair with PC Companion or flash with SUS

install the drivers and try flashmode again.
Do you perhaps know if your bootloader is unlocked?
If so try to get into fastboot mode ( volume up ) and flash a custom kernel like androplus that has recovery.
Then flash a stock pre-rooted zip.

If your screen turn on even for a second when you connect to the charger there must be a solution.
The bad thing should be if screen not responding at all and that would mean that motherboard is dead.

looks like you phone freezed.
Try to use hard reset button, because "Device Connected with USB Debugging off" means your phone is turned on.
Press and hold hard reset button (near SIM Slot, small red button) for a moment to 3 buzzes. Then leave this button. Try to turn on. If it won't boot, do the same procedure and your phone will be turned off. Connect your phone in flashmode, FlashTool should recognize it.
Hope it helps, got similar problem, it has fixed it
