Well, I've been trying to install a custom ROM on my Xperia Sola, but it won't go into fastboot
Tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26875204&postcount=4
I've managed to install usb drivers on my phone using this, but it still won't go into fastboot
Any help?
Edit:
Just to be clear... blue LED is fastboot right?
cause its always purple, then when I try to activate fastboot it goes blue for half a second, then goes purple again

First try this
Go to folder where flashtool is installed lets suppose C drive
So its like
C/flashtool/driver
U r in drivers folder
Now click on what u see
Select fastboot and flashmode and also select the name of ur xperia
And just install
Then retry entering into fastboot ( make sure u have run flashtool app before connecting in fastboot)

I've tried this
My phone's LED turns purple, then the flashtool says it's in fastboot mode [Which isn't, cause it should be blue, right?]
And to check I want to fastboot folder,tried to check with command prompt if he recognizes my deice, and he didn't :\
while in that condition [Purple LED, flashtool says fastboot] I tried to press power+volume up. The LED Turned blue for about 1 second, then went purple again and then red [rebooting itself into charging mode]
Thanks for the help by the way

Try different USB port and make sure driver is installed.
Install the PC Companion, then connect the phone and let the phone install the drivers needed (When the pop up appears on the phone, select ok).
See if that works. This phone has a problem with Windows 7.
Otherwise, if you have a windows XP phone, you can get into fastboo there.
My experience - if your phone is "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No", then you cannot access fastboot mode, only Flash mode. That's my experience from XU
same problem with xperia go

Hello Experts,
This was the best phone I ever owned. It has best in class features (camera, touch, perf ..n ofcourse cost etc.). After the eight month of mighty use i got notification from "SUS" that ICS is now available on your device. Tried Upgrading but in next hour it was showing me touch/hang issues. So reverted back to 2.3* GB.
After a month someone said try manual upgrade of 4.0 using SE flashtool. Tried and result was almost same just that this time it was random.
Again thought of going back to GB. It worked. Used Device for another month without issues. And one night suddenly it went dead. Thought that could be the case of out charge. Did Charge using USB Cable/Power cord method but result was same. It never booted after that.
One day thought of connecting my car charger then it shown "RED" LED indicator. searched on google, someone said battery issue. Tried replacing battery with same model phone which my friend owns. But Result was same.
Finally went to Sony Service Center (Pune, India). They said phone cannot be recovered. I asked them to replace whatever it takes Upto.
Since phone was brought up from import method i couldnt claim warranty.
Sorry for the long email, now question to the experts here
1.) Can this phone recovered? I tried SUS/Flashtool my phone is not getting detected.
2.) Is there any possibility that Motherboard/chips can be replaced to get this phone into functional state.
3.) Anything else can be suggested. (Except buying new phone . i already own Spice CSLMI410)
Can u use ur device in flashmode or fastboot mode?

guess it was sorking anyway, it looks your kernel is fine, so check in flashtool if the device connects not in drivers list
if it doesnt connect, unpack ftf you can see some system,data and so on image files flash them via fastboot(unlock bootloader)
if when you press and hold the volume down button while pluging the usb cable in, green light just lights up, it means there is hope bro :good: I believe after that, you need to go to a folder named something like "x10_libraries" in the flashtool folder and need to find fastboot.exe. oh, at the same time, you should download a kernel suitable for you device which includes cwm recovery and copy that .img file to the same folder from the last sentence. then you should write(in cmd of course) "fastboot flash boot something.img". I believe it'll work, at least no harm to try and I guess this is the last possibility for your beloved xpeia...

How did you try to enter flashmode?
Install all drivers from flashtool>drivers for all modes/devices. Then you take out the battery of your phone and reinsert it. Now press and hold volume down and connect the usb. Don't power the phone on, just press volume down and connect. The green led should light up and you are in flashmode
Then you can flash the stock rom using flashtool :good:

Try on another pc...
Or
Reinstall windows ...connect phone to windows and patiently wait for drivers to be installed using windows update service via internet...
After that put device in flash/green LED mode ,then patiently wait for flash mode drivers to be installed ...
Use flashtool or update service to go back to stock ROM
This is a windows issue so the thumb rule is "reboot windows,try on another windows,reinstall windows.."

can't understand what exactly happened to your device, try pressing power button and volume up button togheter, hold untill device turns off, and try to power it on again.
do u have cwm installed?
and do u have a backup?
if u do, u can restore your device thru cwm "backup and restore"

Guys, I have a xperia mini st15i device with CrDroid 4.4.4 KitKat Rom. Recently I tried to flash RR Lollipop roms Kernel on my device. But I failed to boot on fastboot mode over and over again. I have tried different cables, different usb even different pc's. But all the time i tried to connect it to usb cable holding volume up button the blue light( which is counted as a signal of fastboot mood) blinks once and phone went into charging mood. If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.

Guys, I have a xperia mini st15i device with CrDroid 4.4.4 KitKat Rom. Recently I tried to flash RR Lollipop roms Kernel on my device. But I failed to boot on fastboot mode over and over again. I have tried different cables, different usb even different pc's. But all the time i tried to connect it to usb cable holding volume up button the blue light( which is counted as a signal of fastboot mood) blinks once and phone went into charging mood. If i connect it on flashtool, flashtool recognise my device. If i try to boot device into fastboot via adb through flashtool it just lost connection with phone and phone goes into regular boot.
Guys please help me with this.what can i do now? what i am doing wrong? I am totally stucked with this since last few days.

I have uninstalled flashtool, removed the folder from drive, rebooted pc and then again installed flashtool and drivers as well. but its still the same. actually i am little confused about removing all drivers you said. are those drivers contained in any other places in pc beside flashtool folder?
Use this tool to remove all USB drivers

It will remove all USB drivers .

To go to flashmode on flashtool you need to put the firmware on the correct folder. Where have you placed the ftf file?
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then fastboot is not for you and have option to use Pc Companion to repair your software if the problem is in there.
Did you install flashmod drivers for your phone?
What happen if you connect your phone switched off with hold down the button volume - and connect in the same time usb cabel to the phone?
Did you see green light?

i didnt put it in a specific folder, at the moment its in the download folder.
but the ftf file is loading perfectly, the problem is when it says to connect the phn and doesnt detect it .
i connected the usb holding the vol down button and the red led turned into green, but the pc starts showing usb device not recognised.

no bootloader is locked.
it had the original stock firmware without any modification(not even rooted) before it went dead.
the same thing happens with pc companion it doesnt detect the phn.
and yes the green light turns on.
Like i say before. Don't wait Pc companion to recognise your phone.
Just turn off the phone, charge it good, after that connect with Companion WITHOUT turn on the phone or what you want and continue with the steps.
Doesnt flash mode work even with a locked bootloader?
Maybe you haven't installed USB drivers. Go to local disk C then flash tool and then open drivers and install the drivers for your device.
And then check flash boot again.

Flashmod is for device with locked bootloader and flash on stock files.
Fastboot is for device with unlocked bootloader and for flash on custom / different from stock files.
Fastboot will not do the work after the author has locked buuloader.
Better use Flashtool with flashmode or Sony Pc Companion or Xperia Comapnion, again with flashmod / green light.

Have you disabled driver verification in your advanced start up settings?

and thats why fastboot drivers are working fine.
It is normal to not recognize the phone after not loaded operating system.
In the video I will share, will also see that there are unknown devices, but this is the menu models to indicate the program right model and proceed to download and install the software.
Just try it, if i understand you.
