So i'm using sony's guide to unlock the bootloader ( Can't provide link as i can't give outside links yet)
And all goes fine untill i get to step 12-13 , i keep hold of the vol up button while plugging in the usb , but nothing happens windows doesn't ask me for the driver location and my screen is simply blank.
i did confirm i could unlock the boot loader , i've installed android SDK and the revison of "google USB driver package" is 4, and i've replaced the android_winusb.inf
My phone is on build number : 4.0.2.A.0.42
it's rooted and is on android version 2.3.4
Any help would be appreciated
should i do it or not
I have been anonymously browsing the forums for about 5-6 hours and i have learned anything and everything that is there to learn about rooting unlocking and everything.
But there are two things I am concerned with and i'd really like your help.
these are related to unlocking bootloader
1. i have reached the point where blue led shows up... do i still need to do the testpoint method before using s1tool?
2. my manufacture date on the phone is 11w46. should i try to unlock the bootloader or not?
model: xperia ray st18i
fully rooted and cwm installed
bootloader unlock support : yes
i cannot ask in the developers forums just yet that's why i am asking here..
all the utilities installed in the laptop, just need a green light from you guys.
please help me out here... i am really stuck right now.:crying:
P.S. : I DO NOT want to lose DRM data.

Hello guys. My Jiayu G3 was locked because I let a kid play on the passcode for too many times and now its locked. It says "Too many attempts" and its asking for a username and password, which is basically your google account. Unfortunately i turned off the wifi so now no matter how many times i entered my account it says "Invalid username or password" and now its stucked there. I cant also enter recovery mode by pressing Power + Volume Up button then the robot with the red triangle is appearing. Any ideas what should i do to fix it? plss help me... its been like this for months now, cant even use it.... or theres no more hope and i should just buy a new phone?

Hey guys,so apparently I tried to unlock my bootloader but I'm stuck at step 13 in the Sony Xperia unlock bootloader tutorial. (Can't post the link)
When I first tried to get into fastboot,my computer gave me a notification telling me the device driver was not successfully installed. But at the same time,the notification light on my Xperia J is blue. Tried a few more times but only the notification light was blue,no other prompts from the computer. Another thing is that I can't find the "Android Boot loader Interface-file". Anybody who could help fix this?>< Thanks! (I rooted my phone before this though >< Sorry if I'm asking stupid question or anything,it's my first time rooting and unlocking a phone :/)

Charge your battery above 70% and try again
Hit thanks if i helped Dont say it. Just hit the button!
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
Sorry for the super late reply,but it didn't work ><
I had the same problem but now my BL is unlocked here are the fastboot drivers please consider hitting the thanks button
- In your unlock code, if there are capital letters use shift button and not caps lock that was the cause of the numerous failures before I realized my mistake
- Make sure you copy the exact code copy pasting the code won't work
- Turn off PC companion ( it interferes with the batch file )
- Hold shift and right click the folder to and select Open Command Window here
Don't blame me if your device gets bricked you will also lose DRM keys and Void your warranty
extract the rar file and enjoy ( you still need the USB Driver folder and that android_winusb thingie )
Hello together,
I "soft bricked" my Sony Xperia Z C6603 phone by doing the following steps:
1. Unlocked Sony boot loader (according to Sony homepage: unlockbootloader from sonymobile
2. Tried to "root" the phone according to this guid: Sony-Xperia-Z-Unlocken-und-Rooten-Galerie_60930687 at Chip
But (shame on me) I have not noticed that the mentioned root method works only with an old Android version (4.2 I guess).
On my phone Sonys 4.4.4 was installed already.
Now I have a "red pirate" screen, booting again and again (with 10 seconds delay).
It looks like the phone can be used in fastboot and flash mode.
It looks not working to use the reset mode.
Currently I have no cloue what to do and especially where to find the right images to get a working system back.
The overall target would be to have rooted phone but at the moment a working one would be nice.
I already have the Android SDK installed (fastboot seems to have a connection -- sometimes).
The flash tool seems to have quite often a connection.
Thanks for any help!

Softbricked Xperia Z3 - locked bootloader, disabled USB debugging, no recovery access
Hey, I'm in big need for help in reanimation of my Xperia Z3. I've been trying to install CM 12.1 on rooted Lollipop 5.0.2. In TWRP, after doing a full wipe I've checked ROM on sdcard and started installation. After some time, phone prompted sth like: "there's no root acces, click ok to install SU". Guided by intuition rather than by wisdom I've clicked it, and here started my problems. After reboot phone was stuck on Sony logo screen. So, I've do some research and started to apply solutions one by another.
- After trying to manually access recovery mode, there's only a short flash of green LED and that's all, black screen. Propably there's no more TWRP aboard. Other ways to access it are blocked: I can't use any apk because of softbrick, and can't use ADB commands because USB debugging is disabled after wipe.
- I can access fastboot mode visible for Flashtool; when phone is in this mode, blue LED lights permemently. I've tried to unlock bootloader: program gives message, that there's no possibility of it on my phone. By the way, I would prefer to stay with blocked bootloader. I was trying to flash custom kernel, but there was an error. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was about lack of permissions, i think that it's also because of USB debugging disabled. The same error shows when I'm trying to flash any other ROM - stock 5.0.2, prerooted 6.0.1 or Paranoid Android.
Most of solutions in similar topics around the web tells to use recovery mode, Flashtool or ADB commands. All af that failed for me and I'm stuck with no ideas what to do next. Now I'm trying to repair or recover stock, unrooted ROM with Xperia Companion, but I'm really afraid of this process because I can't check battery or load it normally while stuck in boot loop. Maybe it will help, then I'll edit or delete this post. I hope you can help me somehow.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
BW
