switch off phone remove battery re insert battery then go in flashmode in flash tool select your xperia stock.ftf file ( Stock firmware ) then connect your device holding Volume down button until it recognises ur device

If the phone vibrates and shows 3 Green or Red LEDs it is hard bricked and sent it in to Sony for Repair

Sometimes that happens me but only remove the battery connect to pc ,insert the battery and the flash starts

can't connect in flashmode

I have the Xperia L (C2105) with latest firmware (.14 not .17 because in my country for some reason .17 is not yet available).\
I am trying to connect into flashmode but I can't.
Phone is accessible throuh Sony PC Companion. When I plug it Windows (7) recognize it .
I am trying with SUS but with no luck.
This is what I do.
(usb cable is plugged into PC)
1. Switch off phone completely. Screen goes black and phone does not respond.
2. Press and hold volume down
3. Insert usb into phone slot.
nothing happens.
I guess I should see led goes green, or phone switching on, or PC showing a pop-up dialog? In any case phone remains off and SUS can't go on to the next step after connection. Is there any problem with the phone?
PS: I also tried factory reset.
Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I managed to connect in flashmode. What I do is press once or twice the power switch while holding volume down.
Isn't it weird?

Okay, I think i've a similar problem. I cannot connect my device in flashmode. WHenver i try to do, the led just blinks red and then green, then nothing happens. Could you please elaborate how you managed it?

Hi, to be honest, I can't remember. This phone was one of the worst phones I 've ever owned. Camera was blurry, mic was not working. I didn't even bother to fix it. I threw it to the recycle bin. And I always take good care of my gadgets. That phone was the reason not to buy a Sony phone ever again. I now own a LG G2 and I am perfectly happy.
Anyway, I think I remember trying many times until it finally connected. I did various things, but the actual reason it finally connected was luck. Yes, luck. Try it many times and if you are lucky enough, you will manage connection. Or give it to someone else and buy a proper phone.

First power off the phone.
Then continuously press volume down button while connecting the USB cable to the phone.
(as i remember the phone led color may turned green when it's in flashmode)
Then check 'Flashtool' log, it will be saying 'device connected in flashmode'.
happy flashing.

Exactly, if you see red, green and then nothing, it means your device is in flashmode. Open up flashtool and get flashing! It will say device connected in flashmode

The flashtool doesn't detect my phone even after the led blinks. But if i connect the same phone to same computer through same usb cable in fastboot, the flashtool says device connected in fastboot. Nothing when in flashmode.

Driver issue. In the folder of flashtool, you'll find a sub folder called Drivers, run the file in it and select flashmode drivers and Common Drivers for taoshan. In Device Manager, your device may be listed as S1 Boot service or something. Update device driver to SEMC Flash device which should be under Sony Entertainment Mobile Communications, in all devices.

Thank you so much bro, for all your help. I really appreciate it. I have flashed stock rom hundreds of times over the span of 3 years (yeah i bought the phone as soon as it was released into the market and unlocked the bootloader soon after). So I think I would have know if it was a driver problem. But it's not. It's all about secondary bootloader which I screwed up while installing TWRP into the FOTAKernel partition (which I did not backup the original). For more info, check the link below

Hard Bricked? Can't power on or get to flash mode, QHSUSB_BULK

Hey guys, so I was updating to latest Kitkat firmware OTA and the android guy with the red exclamation point appeared and boot looped.
So, I used Flashtool to correct this and... the phone died.
Can't power on, doesn't vibrate, no SONY logo, no LED blinking, nothing.
Windows installs drivers for QHSUSB_BULK and that's it.
In device manager it appears as SOMC Flash Device anda flashtool detects it but, I can't do anything about it.
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
That's what I get.
From searching around I think the boot partition is gone (?)
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm completly stuck here.

Did you try to turn it off with reset by the sim card? Then hold volume down (- button) connect to usb and flash ftf.
Good Luck.

It probably (hopefully) got stuck. Try to (soft) reset it. There is a very small button next to the SIM card slot. You would need a needle or something that small to push it. If that doesn't work I am afraid it would be better to take it to Sony assistance.

I've been using that button since forever...
Do you think it's related to the loader partition or something?

Maybe you ran out of battery? Does your phone charger when you plug in? Also try different usb, reboot your pc then try again. I had softbrick my phones few times but always fix it with Flashtool.
Press power off button (small one by the sim) and leave the phone, Open Flashtool, select ftf wait for the popup dialogue, press volume down, connet phone to usb. This is proces i always do.
Good Luck.

Boot Loop may be a problem
If your device get disconnected every 5-7 seconds than it is a bootloop which is not showing on screen but you can observe it in device manager
And you have to try different key combination to stop that boot loop while flashing

No, don't mess with the system if there isn't much support or development for it. I regret buying the C3 now because of the horrible camera quality and the fact that the lack of activity is clear. But, it's still a fast phone with good battery management so rooting won't help much.

For me, I've encountered almost the same thing too when flashing my XperiaZ, here's how I fixed it:
Pre-1. To make sure your phone has enough battery left, when holding down the "VolUp" button, connect your phone to a charger. This charges your phone in fastboot mode. It will be slow.
1. In flashtool, open up flashmode, let it load the files (since its a system only flash, you don't need to tick anything) until it prompts you to connect your phone. If the phone is in a boot loop, hold down "Power + VolUp +VolDown" at the same time until it vibrates the hell out of it.
2. When the phone is switched off, hold down the "VolDown" button then quickly connect your phone to your computer. A green light should flash and the phone starts flashing.
3. If this doesn't work, tick the "Wipe Userdata" column so that it can wipe throughly.
Cheers!

Accidental wrong flash with Flashtool

Looks like I killed my Z5. The model is 6683 (Z5 dual), and I flashed with E6533 (Z3+ dual).
The phone is completely dead, cannot turn on, not vibrating on power button etc.
When I connect to my laptop, it says "unable to recognize USB device", in detail VID_0000&PID_0000.
But if I disconnect the battery, it recognized as "SOMC Flash device", VID_0FCE&PID_DDDE
Is it possible to resurrect it?
I hope if I can flash with correct bootloader in this state, it will enought to boot up and able to flash with the right firmware.

Are you able to connect it in flashmode and fastboot ?

With battery, no.
Without battery, my laptop recognize as "SOMC Flash device", but no tool can connect to it (like FlashTool).
(I think then different PID is the reason)

it seems to me that you are an advanced person in playing with your mobile, this kind of issues is beyond of my knowledge but I was replying to your thread hopefully someone here can help, I'm fearing that you have messed up with your mobile

Well, you could try to flash it from Ubuntu (NOT inside Windows 10 !) via FlashTool,
under windows there are limitations with different device IDs that separate drivers would be needed (and if only "wrong" ID is detected under Linux it doesn't really matter, since it's detected anyway),
perhaps under Linux operating systems you have more luck

Thank you for idea, but not working.
Finally I found an old SETool3 box , and successfully flashed with it without battery
Somehow it can fixed it.

wrong flash means wrong kernel!
you might be stuck on black screen when you frist switchon device! the device is running! but since its stuck on bootloops no interface is open!
press power and volume up button for 15+ seconds and let it JERK 3 times , this if force shutdown. the device should get connected now in flashmode
