Thanks. I downloaded both files - App and FTF, launched FlashTool (Windows), i chose Flashmode, and linked to file FTF. Everything is all right, but after clicking OK the program displaying prompt "How to put phone in FastBoot mode" - of course my phone is already in this mode. What is the cause?
Greetings!

I had the same problem when i tried to flash something i ended up having the same problem. Phone keeps rebooting into recovery mode.
I also have the Sony Xperia S LT26i.
Flash the phone using fastboot using this command: "Fastboot flash boot kernel.sin".
For that you need the kernel file. I'm guessing that your kernel and my kernel are the same because we have the same phone. If you want the kernel file, email me then i will send you the files. Hope this helped

Before trying backup ta cuz if it brick you can restore from backup or brick ta mean hard brick device that only sony can fix.
This trick worked on Xperia e1 so maby work on E3 also.
Does this method works on Xperia E3 D2206/D2243??
Does this method work with Xperia E3 D2206/D2243 ?? @vinay What do you think?
I am telling this because around a half month ago, I get rooted in my phone (D2206 model) using D2203 boot img file. Thanks for all
@lexiyuri I believe you can flash lollypop aosp and use this method to root it.
I wanna tell you that D2212 root method work on d2202 cause it supports it's kernel. Now sony released 4.4.4 on d2202 and I,ve flashed d2202 FTF on my D2212 and it is working like charm.
And an FTF contains
Boot
System
Fotakernel
Userdata
And may more.
But aosp only contains userdata.img system.img boot.img and I bet it will work.
Cause in FTF we need all partition,s compatible but in aosp just 3 and if you see cycle of phone boot you only need one compatible and it is boot which is already compatible.

D2203 - connected in fastboot mode -
Hi, I've tried this 6 times and each time I execute command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' - command says waiting for device and then after 30 seconds, my phone boots up as normal - nothing happens.
Is there anyone here who knows what the problem might be?

After flashing the second image to get root, yes you have root, but no CWM recovery anymore . . . . . . . . .
So you can't flash the google apps zip to your phone.

[Q] No Flashmode Xperia D2302

Hi Everyone,
I am having an issue since last one month. Researched a lot but nothing helped me.
I tried to flash my xperia m2 dual (D2302) with a custom rom (MIUI V5, from ROMs section). I got the devices booted but when I realized lots of bugs in the ROM, I planned to switch back to stock ROM. I had flashed stock ROM couple of times earlier and so I follow the flash instructions again. I then realized the device is not booting in flashmode. Whenever I am connecting the device while switched off with holding the volume down button, A green led flashes and goes off. The flashtool says
Device connected with USB debugging off.
For 2011 line devices, make sure you are not in MTP mode.
I tried a lot but couldn't resolve the problem. Then I found CM11 nightly build. With that ROM I am using my device but it also has two major issues.
1) Sudden reboots (while chatting or while playing games)
2) No audio after using device for an hour or so after reboot. Reboot solves the problem for an hour but audio goes off again after one or one and half hours.
I want to go back to stock ROM. But unable to do so because of no flash mode.
For information:
1) I am using 64Bit windows 8.1 (I had flashed my xperia d2302 with this machine a couple of times before I flashed MIUI V2)
2) Drivers are properly installed, USB cable changed but not luck
I request everyone with the android development knowledge, please help me out. I am a newbie in this area and so don't know much. Please let me know how can I resolve the flashmode problem or can I revert to stock ROM using a way other than flashmode.
Or if you can tell me how can I fix the CM11 sudden reboot and no audio issues.
Please help me out. Please
The way to get in to flashmode is to make sure your phone is turned OFF , then you just have to connect your phone to a USB while holding volume down.
If you can't get it right this way, you could always try to flash trough fastboot, first of all go to your device information, where you can find your Android version etc. ... tap the build number for like 5-6 times , so the developer options become visible in the options.
Then in the developer option , turn ADB debugging on, connect your device with your computer.
Make sure you got the adb drivers installed and fastboot drivers also for your device.
Whenever your computer connects trough adb with your phone, you gotta allow the connection by allowing it on your phone. (There will be a pop-up screen).
Then you gotta make sure you got Android SDK installed, there will be a map called SDK, open it and then open the platform-tools map.
Move your kernel, recovery, and system images you want to install into this map too. ( Take one which is able to boot in Flashmode)
Then you gotta open up a command window. My path to the map is C:\SDK\Platform-tools, to get to the map you use the cd command, like this:
cd C:\SDK\platform-tools
then first of all make sure you got a backup of all your images etc. just in case....
in the command window type,
adb reboot fastboot
then these ones (all seperatly):
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After it is done succesfull you can type
fastboot reboot
You can try to be quick and allready press the volume down button to boot in flashmode.
Otherwise you gotta turn off your phone and try it again.
Hope to hear it works....
Xperia devices use FTF files for flashing. I don't have the stock boot.img and I am unable to get it.
I extracted the FTF but I got lots of sin files. I don't know how can I create boot.img from these.
Do you have any idea about it? Or if you have boot.img for Xperia D2302, please post me link for the same.
Thanks for the reply.

You don't have to extract anything, load whole ftf in Flashtool and leve unchecked Kernel (if that's what you want to flash) you'll flash only Kernel.

What's the problem? What Windows you use? Does your phone get recognized by pc(do you have all drivers instaled)? Do you have PC companion installed?
If you do, there is power off button by the sim card, press it then try to connect usb while holding volume down.
Try to repair your phone with PC companion. Then see if the problem is solved.
Good Luck!

Yes. The phone is being detected by PC. I am able to get into fastboot mode but not in flash mode.
Pc Companion is installed. I am using windows 8 64 bit. Drivers are installed properly. I tried repairing the phone with pc companion but it is not detecting the phone while repairing.
May be the boot partition is corrupted. What recovery are you using? If you are using cwm then can you send me the boot.img from the stock rom cwm backup?
This may solve my problem.

Cannot flash stock android version on my bootloader unlocked Xperia L.

I used flashtool to unlock the boot loader. I cannot flash the stock version because somehow the debugging option have been disabled. My handset was "boot looping" now it is stuck on the "SONY" Logo when I try to boot which happened after I tried flashing. I don't know much about Android. Whatever I tried was out of curiosity and suddenly things went wrong. I do have Android SDK in my Computer. Is there any way to flash the stock version ???

Bro everything is OK and the process was successful ( I saw the attachment image).
The whole thing is that you didn't wait for booting, it will take some time for booting after flashing the stock ftf .
So wait for it, it would take about 10 min in max.

No boot, no flashmode, no fastboot

Hi,
this is what happened.
I unlocked the bootloader of my z5, afterwards I flashed the twrp recovery.
After that I rebooted my phone and it only hangs on the kernel screen, it wont enter recovery neither boot into system.
Then I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool but it wont go into flashmode either.
Tried it even with fastboot mode and nothing.
Any suggestions?

After unlocking the bootloader you should have flashed a custom kernel like Androplus V36 first before flashing the recovery img.
I had a similar case I think but with my old z1 compact. When you connect your phone via usb, is anything happen? What color is the led?
What I did was just make sure fastboot and flashmode drivers are installed. Kept plugging the phone while pressing volume button up and down and keep playing with it.
Make sure battery is fully charged and maybe try a different cable if you have another one.
If you succeed and manage to get into flashmode then reflash your ftf file and then let it boot.
If all is good and well, then download androplus kernel for example and extract the boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
Install minimal adb and fastboot and connect into fastboot mode
Place the boot.img file extracted from androplus kernel in your minimal adb folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
if it says okay two times u can then flash twrp recovery by using the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img where twrp.img replaced by the name of your recovery img file.
Sorry if im not clear enough, but I hope this helps you.
Well, the led only flashes shortly in red, after that comes the kernel bootlogo and nothing else.
When the bootlogo shows up the is not flashing in any color.
When I try to connect it to pc it wont recognize it, and the phone starts booting and hangs on the kernel bootlogo again.

Have you tried connecting and opening xperia companion to see if you can do a software repair there?
Or else, I would just leave it connected to a charger for the night and try again, and just keep playing with the volume up and down button while connecting it.
Also you can try installing your drivers another time, and try an older or newer version of Flashtool.... this has helped a couple of times too for me in the past so thats another thing you could try.
Good luckk:good:
Well at this moment my pc just decided to recognize the device so I am flashing now the stock firmware ATM
Thanks for the assistance

Good to hear you revived your phone
Remember if you wanna flash custom kernel:
First unlock bootloader if it isnt ofcourse
Via minimal adb and fastboot flash boot.img from a custom kernel of your choice, I would recommend androplus kernel v36.
Next you could flash a twrp recovery.img via fastboot right after flashing the kernel, but I would first boot the system for a time to see if it boots okay.
Good luck
