Can you explain with more detail about "connecting to flashmode in flashtool" ?
I read in some posts-connect your phone to flashtool and flash the stock firmware files to get back your phone
I connected my phone with the volume key down to flashtool,but it stated an error and didnt proceed..
You erased everything, obviousely. But Flashtool should still work.
I'll go searching for a user who I know already did the same as you... maybe he'll have useful information
EDIT
Which error?

It says ERROR-
thats it
Which sony logo, The first at boot or the boot animation one?
Are you able to boot your device in clockworkmmod?
Ok, let's do this:
-Start Flashtool
-Plug USB cable to PC
-Turn off the phone
-Press and hold volume down button
-Plug microUSB to the phone
-Post the complete Flashtool log
By the way, did you install flashmode drivers?

He formatted everything, CWM included.
I installed the flashmode drivers..
It gets stuck at the black sony logo at the start and does nothing,I had to switch it off after removing the battery..
When I connect the phone in flashmode,it says error and says device disconnected and then the phone remains at sony logo..
I'll post the log soon
GOOD NEWS!
I tried flashtool again and this time it WORKED!!
THANK YOU TO ALL
p.s-Now I'm on stock GB .58
Try to flash a different ftf file and see, preferentially an old GB Build.
If this doesn't work,
Try updating to latest Flashtool.
Install the exe at /flashtool/drivers folder.
Then flash again.
Thanks,
Rick
Edit: Okay, never mind. It's done.

Hello
My phone: sony ericsson experia Neo (MT15i)
I tried to instal CM9 but something went wrong and now i cant start my phone.(normal, recovery nor fastboot)
I downloaded CM9, extracted the boot.img file, and placed it in the fastboot folder.
Then i placed the Zip and the google apps on the SD-card.
I then rebooted the phone in Fastboot and flashed the boot.img file.
Everything looked like it went fine but the phone wasn't rebooting. I've tried alot of things now but nothing works.
The only thing that happens when I try to put on the phone is the slight vibration in the beginning and then nothing happens.
Can somebody please help me? I cant even go in recovery with CWM
I also had this problem with CM 9. You just have the flash the old kernel back. Or you can flash the whole firmware again: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35239
Edit: with Flashtool.
I would have tried that, but the problem is i cant go into flashmode anymore. Nothing works.
Fastboot?
Doesn't work either

Follow these steps
1.Download Sony Ericssion Update Service (SEUS)
2.Hold the volume down button key of ur phone and connect to the USB connected to your PC
3.If this does not work remove the battery and put it back again and do step no 2.
4.SEUS will detect ur phone and install the latest ICS i.e.4.0.4
5. U will have a bootloader relocked and rooted phone :fingers-crossed:

I was thinking there was a trim area problem so I was looking for a solution.
At first there was nothing, no device recognized when I attached it to a pc. No flastboot, no flash, no recovery, no leds, nothing at al (exept for a slight vibration in the beginning).
Then I followed the method for unlocking the boot loader with testpoint and then te pc recognized the device as a neo. But thats all. Nothing more, stil no reaction when i try to turn the phone on in any way.
I disconnected the device and now when I reconnect it it isn't recognized anymore.

Use Flashtool, flash an Official Global ftf from SONY, then let it boot up. It will work. Only way to do it. PM me if needed
Is this the OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 RC1? The boot.img does not work. Use the boot.img from FXP's Unofficial CyanogenMod 9. It works. Personally though, use FXP's CM9 cause it's working better then the official one.
Before using the full restore method (The Flashtool thing) try flashing the boot.img from FXP first. Still doesn't work? Flash official, boot-up, turn off, flash FXP kernel, full-wipe, flash ROM, reboot.
My Phone is fixed.
Alejandrissimo helped me with rebuilding the Trim Area.
Everything works fine now, except connecting to 3G/HSDPA. I used to be able to connect to it but now it doesn't anymore.
Does someone knows a solution for that?

Hello everyone,
I encountered a problem while flashing a new rom on my new (actually 1,5 years old) Xperia U.
I rooted it and managed to instal the CWM touch recovery (using the CWM-instaler) and when i tried to flash a new rom (eXperiance V2.1)
the rom stopped installing (it has a special installer where u select apps and stuff, u probably know of it) and it didn't move on... i had no other option but to take out the battery. When i tried to turn on the phone again it just showed the sony logo, then automatically restarted, showed the logo again for a few seconds and restarted, and kept doing that until i took out the battery again...
So i tried the flashtool and i can connect the phone in flashmode (green led), but i cant connect it in fastboot mode (it connects but then suddenly disconnects as the phone restarts). I wanted to flash a new .ftf file but somehow when i put my file in the /firmware folder and turn on flashtool it is not visible in the files i could flash (just the stock x10 file is there) so im really at a loss...
Anyone got any ideas?
i did backup my previous rom but since i cant boot my phone into recovery that's not a lot of help...
I might also mention that the phone was running ics 4.0.4. and that the bootloader was locked ( i did have root tho...)
If you want any extra info just ask
Any help would be appreciated thank you
Solution: I did what dara007_168 said, which was:
1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF
2.open flashtool don't do anything
3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware
4.wait for the pop up said
"Turn off your device....."
5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second
6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)
7.wait till it finished done
at first this didn't work for me since i had some problems with the flash tool but then i re-downloaded the older version of the flashtool and the firmware and also reinstalled the drivers.
After that it worked and i could normally flash the generic firmware.
Links:

How could you flash the kernel with a locked bootloader?
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool drivers directory, what windows version you have?

There is a chance the phones bootloader was unlocked though... i didn't check (honestly i didn't know how)

(sorry i haven't got enough posts to post links)
Edit: I tried using sony update service and it gave me an error stating that the software installed on my device cant be updated... probably becouse it has a half of a custom rom flashed, or am i missing something here?
Bro I think you should flash stock firmware. I think u know how to use flashtool that easy.
1.charge battery until it full i don't know if u can charge battery or not but u should
try. I have the same problem by flash the same rom as your but mine is different it stuck on the boot animation so it can charge but u I don't know
2.download stock firmware

Firmware is flashed in flash mode not fastboot, see how long can you stay in flash mode, though fastboot should be on forever.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
@ dara007_168 I think the phone should be reasonably charged, since i started doing things on it with a full charge and didn't really use it much, so i don't believe that's the problem. I downloaded the firmware u said and again i have the same problem with flash tool... i put the file in the correct folder, but when its time to flash it to the phone (which is correctly connected) it just isn't there, i cant select the the file i downloaded.
@ ChikeD The flash mode stays connected for about 45sec and then it goes into boot loop and about the boot loader i actually think i managed to unlock it a few hours ago (i did the necessary steps on the sony site and got the code before i bricked the phone) and now i entered the number in the flash tool and i think it actually did unlock my boot loader... although i don't know how to check that...
Oh, and fast boot mode stays on forever i think (ill let it charge a bit in fast boot mode, since the red light beside the camera is on so i think its charging)

Yow man, thanks for helping me out like this but there is a problem when i try to do those steps.
At step 3. I select the lightning icon, and the small pop up window appears and i select flash mode, and then
the window opens called Firmware selector, but the firmware is nowhere in that window and i don't know why...
i know where it should be i checked some videos it just isn't there...
Would it help if i posted screenshots of all the steps?
ow and another thing.
would it work if i tried to use fastboot and flash a kernel from that option? or maybe even flash the firmware?
And i guess this might be a useful peace of information, i am using Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

Hello guys, today it's a really bad day for me. My M4 is now totally bricked.
Here's why:
I installed CM 12.1 and I will get back to stock, but my phone not enter in flashmode. So I flashed a zip file of stock rom but it not booted. I want to get Flashmode back, and I find a flashable zip that restore flashmode in Sony Xperia M. I flashed it and... bye bye M4. Now the phone only enter in SOMC FLASH DEVICE, Flashtool not flash, but say:
Device connected with USB debugging OFF. For 2011 devices line be sure that you aren't in MTP mode.
Sometimes enter in Unkown device. I have all drivers and I'm using original cable with USB 2.0 port. Now I'm trying to restore with PCC.
I removed the battery connectors for a while, put them back, but nothing changed.
My battery is at 100%.
What should I do?
So flash mode does not work anymore? This may seem inappropriate to say now that your phone is dead but if you have technical experience you could make a guide to opening and repairing the M4 or at least take pictures. But if flash mode or fastboot works try to restore it first
Well... Sorry to hear that :/ but uh..

It uses a MSM8939 board same as ours. It's up to you if you want to attempt it but I'm suggesting not to.. Good luck anyway!
Thank you very much! Firstly I will try to send it to the shop where I buyd (sorry my english) and if they don't change the phone I will try this. Really thank you again!
EDIT: Ok, I am following the tutorial, but my M4 show only qhsusb_bulk with no driver. What I have to do?

probably you flashed custom kernel/rom with bootloader unlock=NO , you can try the S1 tool to restore your bootloader but you must have the original one.

you must have qhsusb_dload detected if yes then download this zip extract it and run s1tool, you must copy boot.sin and s1boot from your stock rom, the two files inside the zip are not for your C3, but you can try at your own risk.

Xperia 1 goes on boot loop after flashing the ROM.
What happened.
>Flashed Xperia 1 using new flasher.
>Device started and while setup went on boot loop with a message"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. Your device will be powered off in 5 seconds."
I tried to repair using Xperia Companion but it won't stay to the Flashmode. It goes on loop with the message.
Used original cable and things.
But the device goes to fastboot mode if I press volume up during plugging.
Flashtool and new flasher cannot since the device won't go to flashmode while volume down and plugging.
What can I do further? Please help.
Does the phone turn on again after it automatically turns off?
What region did you flash btw?
It turns on and off automatically in two of the cases.
1. Connected to the PC.
2. Connected to the charger.
But stays in Fastboot mode connected to PC.
I was getting bootlops after flashing rom (locked bootloader, wanted to change region), using both newflasher and flashtool. In my case the problem was i had to wipe/format reset when flashing with flashtool, otherwise got a bootloop.
Once phone is booting, force a shutdown with volume + and power at the same time, then hold volume - and connect to pc, then use flashtool.

Yes, I tried that way but the problem is it won't stay in Flashmode. It shows that warning and goes to bootloop.
I still can see the light turns green while doing so but cannot hold.
Same with me, recover using pc companion and use good cable..
The problem i have because using bad cable

Thanks!
My phone doesn't stay in flashmode.
It only stay without loop and message in Fastboot mode.
Else would have flashed already!!
Yes my phone always said my phone not trusted..
I tried using newflashe always failed.
But after chae the cable and recovery from pc companion now its work
I agree, it might be PC problem (drivers) or cable definitelly. Try diferent cable and diferent pc, go to someone with PC and try with his cable

Thank you but the thing doesn't work.
I tried on Windows 7 PC ;
Installed Xperia Companion and Xperia one driver and yet again it booted into fastbootmode but not flashmode.
I used USB C-C cable, and then another sony phone cable but it didn't work.
I even tried a short cable of a battery bank.
Thats strange. Can you write in details what you have flashed and what you have skipped? Did you done something with your trim area?
Hi @munjeni
I unluckily flashed new device J8110. It was a new firmware for device named Sphinx or something similar which isn't released yet.
It was to be j9110 actually. I then flashed the firmware through new flasher. I flashed everything. Then device booted and during setup steps it rebooted. Then I knew the device was different.
I tried flashing J 9110 but then the device started showing the mesaage.
Why don't you reflash trought fastboot? Boot an recovery image with fastboot:
fastboot boot recovery.img
you will need to unlock bootloader to be able to do that. Trought recovery and adb to recovery you can do many things e.g. flash an custom rom... etc, just for idea.
I have thought of it but loosing drm keys was reason.

Doesn't matter anyway as you need access to the phone to toggle OEM unlock before unlocking bootloader
So..
What should I be doing?

But do you have choice? Did you tried?
fastboot erase userdata
Usedata sometimes cause boot loop and message on screen about corruption. Another thing which I curently thinking about, is your battery charged? Maybe empty battery don't allow you to get into flash mode.

I'm not sure. It was more than 50% when I did everything.
Not sure now.
Will it charge in fastboot mode?
I don't own device to be able to tell you. Seems you are not only one who have problem with flashmode, here https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/xperia-z3v-general/bricked-sony-z3v-access-fastboot-t3510214 . Did you tried to erase userdata trought fastboot? I'm believing you will need to unlock bootloader first because you have no choice with locked bootloader because everything you try going to give you "command not allowed". Unlock bootloader, install an recovery, trought recovery you can reflash broken things, e.g. reguest from somebody with same device to give you raw partitions dump (excluding trim area, system, data, cache) and use DD command to reflash it on your phone, remember do not touch trim area, its on first partition! Good luck!

That link is 3 years old....
Without access to the phone there will be no access to the OEM unlock. Without that I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked.
It's hard to properly brick a sony phone with flashmode. With previous ones a different PC with different cables etc has worked
