already trying this but in flashtool when it says "connect your device in flash mode" i connected in flash mode and flash mode shows that device is connected in flash mode but nothing happen then and after few seconds device power off automatically. I think my device is in MTP mode as flashtool say your device should not in MTP mode, is there any way to change mode using flashtool or any other method?

Maybe useing SEUS?

Is your phone stuck at the Sony Bootloop?
If so the method that i've give you might work!
Which version of flashtools that use?

[Q] Disabling MTP Mode and enabling USB Debugging while Phone is Off

Dear Experts,
I Unlocked the Bootloader of My Xperia L using the official Sony way. But after the successful unlocking the Phone is not booting at all. It gets stuck at the Xperia colour theme loading... I gone through various posts and found a solution that I have to Flash my phone using flashtools.
Now I instaled flashtools as well as the required drivers. However when I do the flashing in flash mode, the device disconnects automatically and flashtools says that "make sure you are not in MTP mode". I remember that My phone was in MTP mode when i was unlocking the bootloader and the USB debugging was always on... Now after unlocking bootloader the USB Debugging is showing as off (can be seen in the attached file)
After reading couple more posts about MTP ... I understand that I can't successfully flash unless the phone is out of MTP mode, and USB debugging is on. As my mobile is not booting, I can not go to the settings and tick or untick any of the two.
Please help me with a way to do it. I am attaching a screen print of the flashtools for Ref....
It will be a great relief to me....
Thanks in Advance...

how to connect in flashmode without using the buttons?im stock in sony logo and i need to turn on usb debugging to use flashtool

1, the adb drivers aren't installed correctly in your pc
2, don't worry about usb debugging
Just connect the phone to the computer in flash mode by pressing vol down and then plug-in the usb cable to your phone.
Flash tool will recognise it automatically if the drivers are installed correctly
3, then reinstall the stock ROM with flash tool
That's it
You said your device is being disconnected while flashing so
When you start flashing from flash tool start the flashing process
(Without connecting the phone to pc)
After the FTF is extracted flash tool will ask to connect the device
Then just connect your device in flash mode

Hello,
Do you know how to install fastboot or flash mode drivers in Windows 10? Also, the flashtool for me is stuck on "please wait until the end of process", how to make it work?
Note: My device gets recognized in ADB when booted up, but does not when in fastboot or flashmode. (Plugging in cable while pressing vol. down)

the drivers will be on the flash tool folder just open the app then tick drivers for Xperia L (thoshan) and general fast boot drivers.
and use the latest flash tool if you can ( Now I am using a Mac so I have a flash tool which was made for apple. but I used to flash my phone using windows and this is the version of the flash tool "flashtool-0.9.18.5" and this worked fine for me ).
if anything else is needed just reply

Black screen after flashing kernel (Xperia E3)

I tried to Jailbreak my Xperia E3 with a locked bootloader with the instructions found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-e3/general/root-xperia-e3-d2203-locked-bl-t3075559
After flashing the new kernel, I am greeted with a dissapearing boot logo. PC Companion cannot recognise my device, despite being able to before flashing the kernel. When I try to connect my phone via usb, I always get a connection error from pc companion asking me to restart my phone and try again when it tries to install the adb drivers
Apparently, this problem can be fixed this by switching to mass storage mode, but how can I do this if my phone can't even turn on? :crying:
Please help

Didn't really get what you need help with.
Well, you cannot practically install adb drivers at the point where you are.
What you should do is connect your mobile in the fastboot mode (Volume up button while connecting usb cable) or flash mode (Volume down button while connecting usb cable). And maybe install fastboot (bootloader) drivers or flash (SEMC flash device) drivers.
Then maybe flash a ROM through which you could restore your backup which you hopefully made.
Hope that helps.

flash a stock rom via flashtool..

Urgent help needed + QFIL

Hi guys,
As mentioned in a previous thread, my F1 is soft bricked, only with the Oppo logo, no fastboot or recovery. I need to flash it again with a soft called QFIL (soft for Qualcomm devices). But it can't be done with the ordinary stock roms, I need a specific rom compatible with QFIL, like the ones used in the service centers. Is there anyone who can provide me with such a rom, or a link to download one in order to save my device?
Thank you

Can someone owning a Oppo f1 use QFIL to extract all the necessary files in order to flash them to my phone? I would be very grateful.

I have the, flashing tool and rom needed to unbrick the f1 from any softbricked state.
Let me know if you still need it, and I'll upload it somewhere and write a quick guide.
Worked for me even after I killed the bootloader.

oppo f1f from optus australia need qfill firmware
i m from india set come to me for sim unlock
i follow this guide (How To unlock Oppo F1f - Guide unlock network Oppo mobile F1f from youtube) to flash modified firmware
but at the first step i flashed magictricks.zip & set goes to qdloader 9008 mode after reboot
so i need optus australia firmware,thanks in advance

Need some help - Msm8x39DownloadTool.exe not finding phone
Qualcomm HS-USB QSLoader9008 on COM3, according to Device Manager, yet Msm8x39DownloadTool.exe doesn't want to find it at all - Device not connected.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Edit: I have made some progress with some steps not included above.
1) Disable 'Driver Signature Enforcement' in Windows (Google is your friend)
2) Before installing the provided drivers, hold the Volume Up button on your phone, and insert USB from PC > Phone. This places the phone into QHSUSB mode and will be found in Device Manager, under Ports (The Android Bootloader Interface (fastboot) device has an ID of '18D1-D00D', while the QHSUSB device ID is '05C6-9008'.. bingo!).
3) Install the driver as directed. This will change the device from QHSUSB mode to HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on COM3.
Continue with the rest of the guide.
Stock recovery will be returned (v1.2 Rooted - I don't remember this). From here you can install Project Spectrum again, and return back to ColorOS after that.
Hopefully this helps.

I tried this my phone has no Fastboot but recovery says V1.2(Rooted)
I tried this multiple times without luck.

As you still have access to stock recovery, you dont need to use download mode.
Simply put a stock rom zip on your sdcard and flash via the stock recovery. (might have to wipe data also if flashing a different version of the rom).
That will fix your phone.
To get access to fastboot (should you need to flash TWRP recovery), flash magictricks.zip via recovery.
If your phone is so busted you no longer have access to fastboot and recovery it will automatically default to QDloader mode (download mode).
If you want to access download mode while your recovery is still ok, switch phone off, hold Vol-Up (or Vol-down, can't recall) and plug in the usb cable.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ACCESS TO RECOVERY, USE THAT TO FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE, GETTING THE QDLOADER DRIVERS CORRECTLY INSTALLED ON WINDOWS CAN BE RATHER TRICKY.

You need to install adb drivers. If you are following steps from any guide, then you should follow each and every steps. If you did then you should not face any problems.
