Hi - have been searching these forums for days now but cant find a solution.
I am OK at flashing etc but am stuck now. Phone is stuck at Sony logo and won't go any further.
Phone is an Xperia M4 (E2303) and the bootloader is locked - have tried unlocking it but get 'Failed - command not allowed' so i'm guessing it is not unlockable!
I can't get into recovery (nothing happens when i try) and cant get into FlashMode either. I plug usb into phone while holding the volume down key. I CAN get into Fastboot mode which seems to work fine and is recognized ok by PC - drivers all installed ok.
Is there a way of flashing an FTF using Fastboot rather than Flashmode? or even installing any recovery. I have 32 and 64-bit Flashtool installed, i have FTF files and i have EMMA.
Can anyone help please? I would be very grateful - many thanks - ian
With bootloader locker you won't be able to flash anything. I had the same problem.
Desperately, my friend thought it was a good idea to put the phone on the refrigerator for a while.
Surprisingly, in the next day, I turned it on and the cold phone booted normaly and then I was able to set OEM unlock authorization on developer settings and unlocked the bootloader with sony unlock key.
Then I tried to flash a twrp, but I'm stuck back on boot loop again, and fridge didn't help this time.
Power OFF phone, then hold together for at least 30 sec in this order "volume down" + "volume up" + "power button". Then release 3 buttons and try to power on phone with power button. This procedure will revert your phone back to default settings.

Read this tread. It worked for me! Good luck!
Hi there,
Same problem as OP here.
I am trying to revive my wife ex-phone, model 2303 which has been forgotten for two years at least.
Stock rom
No root
Bootloader locked
Stuck at Sony Logo when starting up the phone.
Can boot in FastBoot (blue light) and is detected by PC
Can boot in FlashMode (green light) but PC doesn't detect anything. Nothing appears in Peripherals.
Any advices ?
What can be done in FastBoot mode with a locked bootloader ?

Also Xperia companion will install all needed drivers and could also recover device.

Thank your for your advices.
But in Flashmode the phone does not even appear in computer peripherals manager.
In FastBoot, Sony Emma does not detect phone neither.

Have you tried using an older version of flashtool ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Which version of flashtool would you recommend ?
Would it change anything as the phone is not detected in device manager anyway ?

Hello everybody!
Recently bought a xperia Neo V and would like to install custom roms on it and kernels,
however I can not put the device in fastboot mode mode to flash the kernel.
Have rooted the device, installed the CWM and the unlocked bootloader by testpoint method.
According researched, to enter the fastboot mode should hold the menu button and insert the USB cable
but when I do that the phone turns on a red light and charging symbol appears. the device goes into flash mode (green LED) and has usually managed to install custom roms but not kernel.
My phone is SIM unlocked.
I appreciate all the help available ...
Sorry for my poor english...

If your phone is sim locked you cannot enter in fastboot because it is also locked.
You have to unlock the phone (search for SE Tool or Omnius) and then you'll be able to enter into fastboot mode.

There are many threads that walk you through setting up fastboot, or if you in a hurry or too lazy to search use the fastboot toolbox included in flashtool.

Neo V Not entering into FastBoot
HI,
I have Sony Ericsson xperia Neo (MT11i 11W41). Couple of days before I received online update. I accepted, and downloading and installation started.
After that my mobile gone sleep mode. NO LCD Display not charging indication. Green led flashes on mobile charging, and orange 3 flashes on Power up.
I spent lot of time on net but could not find solution to power up my mobile. I did many firmware through flash tool, Zero point and S1 Tool But no solution.
Even I tried Emma, it displayed all information and shows “Phone is locked”.
Any help to solve this issue?

Connect your phone to the pc with your usb-cable
When s!tool asks you to enter flash-mode, press home and power buttons at the same time. As soon as the screen turns black (backlight off) release those two and press the back-button. Failing that, take out your battery for a minute or so and then try again.

No, flashmode is necessary for bootloader and kernel operations, there is no other way. Nothing you can do to your phone will disable that, apart from a broken back-button or a broken usb-port. If taking out the battery didn't help i'm not quite sure what you should try.

Nope, you will need flashmode to relock the bootloader. Apparently it was avaiable for you to unlock the bootloader, so i'm not sure why you can't access it now.

Hi Dev's,
verified the bootloader can be unlocked via *#*#7378423#*#*
installed the fastboot, flashmode & sony xperia z ultra drivers from the flashtool 0.9.18.2 installer (flashtool.net)
on windows 8.1 with deactivated driver compatibility check.
Now i've tried all 3 methods to enter into fastboot mode from here
(theandroidsoul.com/sony-xperia-z-ultra-fastboot-mode)
via volume up + usb in, adb & quick boot reboot (even if the device is not rooted at the moment)
, but no success. The device always starts into flashmode, and this is the only state being recognized by the flashtool in windows. All hardware keys are working fine.
Any more ideas how to enter fastboot? I am really stucked at the moment.
Thank you!
what does it do on vol down and usb in?
You are doing this from a powered off state?
Hi,
I really tried every method and button combination. it is just the same as in this thread I found later.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716418
Seems like the fastboot mode is being hardware locked or something.
I return the device tomorrow, and check a new one (if I get) with android 4.2 stock Rom.

I had this same problem some months ago .Never saw a way around it . Since the phone was still like 1 month old I had to return it to sony and got a new one !
Lots of guys helped but was no way to get it working , even had to borrow 2 different laptops to try it
Hi there,
my mate gave me his Xperia Z2 asking if I could fix it. He said it's stuck in boot loop. I thought it'd be an easy fix but I am experiencing a problem that I think (I hope I'm wrong) is hardware related.
The phone is indeed stuck on the sony logo and won't go past it. It responds to power+volume up (buzzes 3 times). I can put it into fastboot mode (blue LED, flashtool recognizes the phone in fastboot mode). However, I can't put it into flashmode (LED goes green, but flashtool doesn't recognize it, Windows and Sony Companion doesn't either btw).
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it or is it indeed a hardware issue?
TIA guys
Cheers
Edit: All the drivers are installed, I have tried two different computers, previous flashings were no prob.

Is the bootloader Unlocked???
If yes then try flashing a kernel that has built-in recovery and clean flash a new rom
It may helps
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm afraid the bootloader is still locked, tried to flash a kernel already, it won't let me so I assume it's locked.

Maybe you can unlock bootloader and then flash a kernel(try it at your own risk)
Okay, thanks, will do that. I would have liked to find a way without unlocking the bootloader (wanted so save keys first) but it seems that it's the only way since I can't make it into flash mode. Will give an update after!
Hi there.

It seems like a firmware issue than a hardware one.
It's either falshtool compatibility issues , a soft-bricked phone or both.
1 - Try using an older version of flashtool like 0.9.18.6 and see if flashmode works.
2 - If you know the current firmware version
you can just flash the stock,signed kernel via fastboot.

Are you sure you have the proper flashtool drivers installed? What's the Windows and Flashtool version? And have you connected any other Xperia device in flashmode mode to the same pc before?
I am saying that it is 90% a driver issue..
-Try disabling Driver signature on Windows 10 or 8 then reinstalling Flashmode AND Xperia Z2 drivers from the folder drivers in the main flashtool folder, then restart the pc..
- Try connecting a different USB cable
- Try connecting to a different USB port..
- And when you want to flash the firmware.. Select flash.. Select the firmware.. Check the wipe options (optional).. Press flash.. And after that when flashtool asks to connect the device in flashmode connect it.. Do not connected it BEFORE pressing flash..
Hope this will help you.. Have a good time..

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
