You need to install the ADB sony drivers... 's1fastboot' requires these. Do a search on google and they will pop up.
actually here are the drivers:
HSPA+ http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-driver/
LTE http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-z-ultra-c6833-c6806-c6843-driver/
If PC companion still doesnt work then you will need to use 'flashtool' and can then flash an FTF firmware file.
flashtool: http://dfiles.eu/files/lbbuacfhe
.532 firmware: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_rMaA9i_MUSRi1zWlpCOXV4RUE/edit?usp=sharing
I was thinking of making a video on how to do all of these steps, however I have to fly out in a couple of hours so wont have time until next week...
thank you .... !! i will try all these ... i have a slow internet..

Next time, don't try to tweak a stock kernel. If you're not sure how stuff works, don't mess with it. If you're not sure about something then ask us before you do stuff like this. There's a reason why we're all here.

I emailed you this, but may have gone to spam..
they are just driver ini files and system config settings.
1) right click on my computer
1a) properties
2) device profile
3) look for devices without drivers
4) update driver
5) advanced/
6) have disk
7) use the unzipped folder as the location
8) yes continue with unsigned driver version
done
i may have missed a step as I only have access to my Ultra at the moment, but thats what you need to do

The correct for fastboot is blue led always on
When using S1 mode the green led blinks then no led if im right
And use flashtool instead, much easier

First, it didnt work. I installed and uninstalled many times flashtool and different versiont of flashtool and finally I dont know how but it worked.
Hi, I think I am in deep trouble now. My p780 8gb is completely dead after trying to flash a TWRP recovery in to it using a flash tool. Not sure what went wrong I fiddled with some settings in flash tool like 'firmware upgrade' and 'download' and at last saw a Dram failed message. I was using the latest s226 Kitkat ROW. Now all I can see is a red led charging light glowing while connecting it to a computer. The device is not getting recognized by VCOM drivers so no use with flash tool any more. Tried to reboot in to recovery and meta mode but the phone simply does not turn on. Anyone knows how to unbrick this, kindly help.

Hi. Please tell me if your phone is made in 2014. From what i see all phones made in 2014 must be flashed with another preloader. The simptoms you are described here seems that way. Waiting fro reply...

Hi stympy,
Yes it is a 2014 January version. But to be honest I was using a ROM with 2013 version preloader but never faced any problem, Today purposefully changed it to the new 121kb 2014 preloader and everything was fine till I used the v5 flashtool to flash the twrp and I think I selected the upgrade option in it and flashed the twrp> found the ROM and preloaders from needrom.com from the uploader xxxsadistxxx .It worked flawlessly and then after first booting I configured the wi-fi settings again turned it off and tried to install the custom recovery. Now completely helpless because the phone is not getting detected by VCOM drivers.

Look what you have to do!
Hi. The think was someting like this:
0. Unzip/Unrar those 2 archives.
1. First i install the .exe file from archive LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.zip. Reboot PC.
2. Plug the phone to your PC and new hardware wizard has appeared. Install the drivers by pressing automaticaly search the drivers.
3. Now power off the phone, and open the Device Manager, in Ports section.
4. With the Device Manager open, plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager/ Ports section, appeared for a second or two not in USB area something with.. MTK65...
6. Double Click fast on it because that will desapear very fast . If you missed the click for the first time unplug and replug the phone after about 5 seconds.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver from MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD.rar archive, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Tell me iff something goes wrong.
Good luck.

1) Hi, thanks for the troubleshooting steps but for the 3rd and 4th step, the phone is always in a switched off mode only. It simply doesn't get turn on in any mode.
2) I am using Windows 8.1 OS and Lenovo Usb Driver1.0.10 and VCOM drivers are already installed in it after turning off the digital signature check in win 8x OS and now nothing is happening after clicking on install option of LenovoUsbDriver_autorun_1.0.10.exe Is it a problem or in other OS also it wont prompt to click next or something like in a regular driver installation.
3) Phone is not getting detected in device manager after connecting it, so cant update drivers
Please suggest me what to do next.

2. You will find there an small red button.
3. Now plug your phone to your PC.
4. After you plugged the phone press the red button for 20 secconds.not optional
5. Release the button and see what is going on in your device manager.
6. Iff your preloader is messed up something should going on.
7. Should appear something like new hardware detected, that is the point when you update the drivers, and your phone will be detected by your PC
8. Try this and tell me if something goes wrong.
Good luck.

Hi thanks a lot stympy. I am glad that you were spending the time and effort to help me. I saw that red button trouble shooting post in your TWRP thread and luckily for me after clicking on different options in device manager while setting a complete format in sp flashtool the device suddenly got detected and format was done. After the format the device has lost its imei number, BT code and Wlan codes. That was going to be a hectic job to reinstall imei with imei repairing tools and usage of Hexa editor for BT and wi-fi codes just because some drivers were not getting installed properly.. But to my sheer luck I had a "Data' back up in TWRP with my previous version prerooted rom . I was not that confident to get a restore of imei , BT and wlan codes because it is just a 'data' back up not full ROM. I ticked the md5 checksum and voila after installing the back up 'Data' everything , absolutely every single code in my p780 got reinstalled automatically .LONG LIVE TWRP DEVELOPERS......... May be even after formatting the complete flash drive of the phone it still keeps the imei and other codes in factory mode. I am not sure. Now phone is in perfect condition and I am ready for another go. Stympy please create a 2.7.1 twrp for 2014 preloader p780 8gb. thanks again for all your help

Hey Stympy, you seem to know quite a lot about this! I have the same problem with my p780 4GB. After flashing everything seemed ok, as I got a green circle in SPFlash tools. However now I am not able to boot anymore. When connecting my phone to my computer the red light goes on and Device Manager shows a new MTK USB Port. When pushing the red button it immediately disappears. Does not matter if I push it for 20 seconds, as soon as I let go its bak in device manager.
When trying to reflash using SPFlash, it seems to recognize my phone, but when trying to format or Upgrade or Download, the red bar only loads up to 141776 Bytes and stops. Sometimes I have to push the red button for the phone to get recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ps: CMIIT ID on the battery says 2013xxxxxxx so I guess its a 2013 model?

Hi. Can you tell me what firmware did you have ?
From what you described your phone seems to be from 2014. This are the simptoms when the preloader is messed up.
Look what you should try:
Download from here the preloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/lenovo-p780-chineese-speed-version-t2874161
Replace your Curent ROM preloader with the one you downloaded.
Drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/len...ial-kitkat-t2835605/post55587780#post55587780
Try this one and tell me if somethin goes wrong.

Fool me. I've tried to run CN on russian LiFE ROW with TWRP. You can laugh very loud.
1. unbricked with P780_S136_140306_Lang
cleared IMEI
2. IMEI recovered with Droid Tools
after reboting no gsm signal
3. NVRAM recovered from backup
No success.
SIM cards works fine on other mobile, 911 cal also work on this phone
now running on:
ROM: P780_S226_Life_XVIBE_by_Xakep
Baseband: P780.V23
Last idea is clone p780 (colleague has one) with IMEI change, mac address and sn. Now with which tool it'll be easier?
success

Hi there,
I need help on my Lenovo P780. I flashed it with P780_ROW_S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps ROM, procedure seemed to be ok but, after the green circle, I cannot switch on my smartphone anymore. Power+volumedown doesn't work and power+volumeup+volumedown as well. Now it's not recognized on my win7 pc! I tried to "uninstall" from device manager on my OS and then use the drivers contained in the .rar file "MTK_USB__Driver_GOOOOODDD" suggested some threads ago... but nothing happens, it's still an "unknown device" for Windows.
The only signal of life is the red light when the smartphone is connected to my laptop.
Please help me to solve this brick, I really do not know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,

Hi stympy,
I'm using SP Flash Tool V3.1304.0.sn119 (build: 2013/01/28 11:26 r1073)
About the drivers... I'm using "MTK USB driver" folder that you shared in a thread some time ago... where can I get the version? Here you can find in attachment a png screenshot, as you can see date modify of the files in the package. Unfortunately I can't get info from my Windows device manager because of the actual "unknown device" recognition of my P780
just in case, ok for the teamviewer session, thank you for your availability!

Hi there,
it seems that now the device is recognized by Win7 because it finished its driver installation.
In the device manager now I see a "MediaTek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM11)"; anyway, I downloaded the latest version of SPFTools (v5.1352.01) but both of the instances stops at "searching" time and 0% of the flashing process.
Could please someone advise?
Thank you!
Try to make sure the device is fully turned off. try to press the red button beside the battery. And then reconnect the cable while it is in the mode "Searching".. if it does not connect .. try unplugging and replugging it again.

After pressing the red button it got it up, thank you handshake1234. But flashing process stops later with the same error of the last ROM I tried to flash yesterday (attached).
Is that meaning I used another time a uncompatible ROM?
(Yesterday) S124_140403_rooted_twrp_gapps
(Today) P780_ROW_S123_131231_rooted_twrp_gapps
both for ROW.
Can anyone say something about the attached png error?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. Sh1ts started when I try to make backups. First, Mobileuncle said: no sd card?' No sdcard0,nosdcard1. So I didn't make backup on my IMEI's. But that is is my little problem. Generally, I saw that there were 2 versions: 4gb Chinese and 8gb row. So i opened explorer and saw 8gb storage. I thoght that I'm row. But I coudn't see version of my rom. Whatever, I decided to flash Russian version VIBE 2.0 lite etc. with replaced files for 8gb. Instled drivers and flashtool. It always gave me same error: DRAM FAIL 4032. Then, I tried to flash cust. recovery for the model. After flashing recovery it wen into a brick or bootloop. Now the screen wan't turn on. I read your guidens above, but when I try to flash stock rom it says: dram fail 4032, cant change preloader with yours couse mdchecksum doesn 't get right. When i try to flash to flash Russian VIBE with your pleloader it says not enogh space 1011. I think the drivers work properly, because spft recognizes the device and see it on com8 etc...
I am really upset... please anwer. Thank you for being there for us.

Hi.
Go there and download your firmware !
Flash it !
For custom recovery go there and download ROW ONLY recovery(openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0rev2-p780row.zip)!
Creeate one folder, unzip the recovery img and Copy the scatter file from your firmware in that folder.
Here is one "small" tutorial for rooting!
If its not working PM me !
Hi,
i also brocked my Note 3...
After updating with SP Flash tools 1516 my phone does not show any sign of life...
I flashed the last chinese stable from xiaomi and SP flash finished with the green hook
Now the phone does not boot, the screen is black and if connected to the charger there is
no red light and i dont know if it charges at all
I can still repeat flashing the phone but to no avail. Connecting the phone to
usb while holding VOL +, Vol - and power there is "connecting and disconnecting"
sound from WIN7.
However Miflash does not recognize the phone anymore.
Could it be that there is a problem with the locked bootloader ?
I read some threads on Mi4 phones where they had to shorten some testpoints on the motherboard
to get the phone back to life, maybe there is a similar way for the Note 3?
I already did a lot of successfull flashing with other phones so i didnt expect any sort of problems....
Any help is really appreciated !!
Greetings
Joachim
Same problem here
Redmi Note 3 came with some unoffical multi language ROM preinstalled (7.00.11.00)
OTA did not work, downloading update onto the phone and updating via Update-App did not work either, so there was no other way than using SP Flashtool to get some official ROM on it
Downloaded official 7.0.19.0 and loaded it into SP Flashtool => Flashing went without any fault (green hook at the end) but phone doesnt do anything since then
You should untick the first option in flashtool (preloader). I had the same problem once. Here is a video which helped me and saved me device. Follow the instructions and you'll be ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA

It was a big mistake selecting "format all" option. Now everything inside your phone is deleted (including IMEI). Big problem. Who suggested you to do this?

I was in the same boat as you. The only way to revive my RN3 was to select format and download otherwise it would not turn on. I then experienced the no imei issue as you are. When I did was follow a guide which I got from en.miui.com under tips and tutorials for Redmi Note 3 where it says to permanent fix imei and worked. I never lose my imei now

Thanks for sharing info but its for RN3 whereas my phone is RN3G Redmi note 3G.
Hey everyone!
I'm having trouble with my android nokia 3. I turned it on after a week of it being off, charged it and connected it to wifi to see if it had any updates to download. It said it had a system update so i downloaded it and told it to install. After the process it went into recovery mode and has been stuck there ever since! I try to reboot and it just goes back into recovery mode. I tried executing a system check and it comes up with a lor of errore, in the end the basic check comes up as failed and the advanced one too.
If i connect it to a PC it will not be recognized, so i'm guessing my only option is to find a way to install everything via SD card.... but i have no clue where to start from.
It is a nokia 3, was running Android 7.1, already tried to factory reset with no results.
Hi , try to put him in Fastboot mode see video bellow.

This is for Nokia 3 TA-1032 if you have another model then search firmware for your device.
Look if you have driver inside this firmware , it will need you vCom driver for your device .
Nokia USB driver:
https://devfiles.co/download/3iK0k7Sv/Nokia_3_USB_Drivers.zip
vCom driver : search on the internet if is not in stock firmware
SP Flash tool:

i connect it when it is off and press a volume button like the guide says and i get an error:
ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
and another error in other cases that says:
ERROR:S_AUTH_HANDLE_IS_NOT_READY (5000)
This is a secure baseband chip! Please select the authentication file first
Hmm , try with another firmware for your device and make sure that scatter file is the same version as your phone cpu for example MT6737M . That error is I think because bootloader is locked.
here is one make sure is for your device I mean your CPU
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0oLdVAk2l5va1ZlR05EVk5DXzQ
How to i see what CPU i have?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you know your model : write your model on the internet and see specification for your device and there you will find which CPU has.
No luck... still getting the same ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004) - [H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM! error on 4 different FW i downloaded all for MT6737... i've found 1.4Gb as well as 1.5Gb ones, all Nougat 7.1.1
Any other solutions i could try?
Hi , open your firmware and delete this file if you have inside it CheckSum.ini . Now go to format , format whole flash except Bootloader and NVRAM Bin Region , once is finish press download buttonand re-plug your device .

None of the firmwares have a Checksum.ini file, i tried the steps above (formatting) and when i connect the phone it gives me
ERROR: S_AUTH_HANDLE_IS:NOT:READY (5000)
[user] this is a secure Base-band Chip! Please select the authentication file first.
The battery on the phone is completely dead, can that change something? It shouldn't right? It says to remove the battery if the battery is removable (it isn't) on the program
On some phones you can't flash without the battery because the phone once is recognized it get's soon disconnected so put the phone to be charged for about 6 hours if not put litle more and try again to flash .
Tried again with charged battery, keep getting the AUTH HANDLE IS NOT READY error.

Try this firmware if that doesn't help you then I think that without auth file for your device or some service box you can't repair .

download all ota and official rom and from recovery flash it first to end ota files and let the phone restart two or three times each file flashing
