By the way, I found a fix:

I ran the fastboot, etc, on a XP PC (or just a VM in my case). It worked like a charm. I installed the drivers, rebooted the VM and now I'm on a rooted and unlocked Xperia S.

Related problem

Hi,

I just got my Sony Xperia S (on T-Mobile in the UK) and am having problems getting into fastboot mode. Unlike any of the reported issues I can find, I am not getting five seconds of fastboot before the system resets. In fact, I am not getting any fastboot at all. When I press volume up and plug the phone in via the USB cable, it does... nothing interesting. It simply goes straight to the Sony splash and then the charging screen.

I am on Windows 7, and can probably get access to a Vista machine for diagnostics, if it would help. XP may be a bit more tricky.

Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

To elaborate, I get no blue LED under any circumstances.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Try a different USB port maybe?

Did you turn on USB debugging on your S?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Aosher:
I've tried a few, but the USB port is definitely working - the phone is charging from it, just not entering fastboot mode.

Yep, USB debugging is on.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] poo-tang:
Did you check if can be unlocked in the service menu. If your phone is branded they normally can't be unlocked and they will not enter fastboot at all.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Aosher:
That may be it. I can't get to the service menu thanks to an MMI error but if that's how it exhibits then it's plausible.

Is there any way around this? This phone is stuffed with bloat and I really want to get rid of it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] festa20:
Im on tmobile uk and I cant get fastvoot AMD the reason for this os because its branded to T-Mobile so its sim locked and even if you sim unlock it, it means u still cant get bootloader unlocked until the test point method or something comes for us users

Well that sucks.

Thanks all for your responses.

Problem is that, in my case.

But my xperia don't go in fasboot mode on my other PC (ADB server problem I think)

Hello I have an Xperia S, with bootloader locked and recently installed a ROOM in order to get the 6.A.1.2.55 with root.

Installed from a ZIP from recovery mode following this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2009672

Now when I try to do step 7 (flash kernel and Baseband) Using Flashtool, Im unable to enter to the mode; when the windows prompts me, I turn off the phone, press and hold Vol up connect the USB but nothing happens, only the Sony Logo and then the icon of charging battery, I also tried to turn off the phone while holding Power button + Vol up (at the same time) and get the 3 vibrations, but the same result when I connect, the logo and the charging animations/icon..( no LED of any color or anything)

Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..

Thank you..

U can't use fastboot with locked bootloader

U need to unlock your bootloader first then u can flash kernels
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sordatos:
Yes, that I did know but the author of the ROOM doesn't have it unlocked either. Besides even if that, I'm still Unable to enter the mode, or is it because I uncheck "exclude kernel" that it doesn't enter the mode?

Can't get my Xperia S into fastboot

Hi

I Have a "unlockt" Rooted Xperia S (LT26i) running android 4.0.4, and I'm trying to unlock bootloader so I can install Clockworksmod so I can Flash an other ROM. The problem I'm having is that it won't enter fastboot, and therfor a can't install the drivers. When I plugg in the USB-Cable and hold volume up, it will enter fastboot for about 3-4s. then it will go to the Sony spashscreen and then the Charging screen. I've tried to turn on/off usb-debugging but that doesn't help. I have also when't into the divise maneger on my computer, uninnstalled the drivers in case it was a problem with my computer but neither that worked.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Luckz:
Exact same issue here on Xperia Go (latest stock ROM), Win7 64.

unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions says to boot into fastboot but it doesn't work.

Fixed via

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27595892&postcount=6

The solution that worked for me was:

Keep the Device Manager open

Connect the phone and quickly choose to change driver

Disconnect the phone again (because it goes into normal mode)

Choose to install a driver from the computer, choose "All devices" and "have disk".

Browse to the folder with the .inf

Now, before clicking Next, connect the phone again and quickly hit Next.

I think it took me two hours of googling and trial before I could finally get a custom ROM installed...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] wawel:
Hello there, yesterday I bought an unlock code to sim-unlock my Optimus One and be able to use my device with other carrier.

I'm supposed to enter the code after the following key sequence:

2945#*500#

I've seen 3 different videos on youtube and it works just fine, but in my phone, when I enter that key sequence nothing happens, I've tried to do it with my current sim, with no sim, and with other carrier's sim and still nothing happens, so I never have the chance to enter the code I bought.

Has anyone else had this isssue?

I use CM7 nightly most recent update (#36?), cm7 stock kernel, link2sd, no overclock...

May it be rom related?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] eletro:
I grew to like the mini apps feature from samsung but it doesnt include a browser.., so i was hunting the market for similar products and found this OverSkreen

Basically it 'floats' above all your apps/ homescreen, and its movable like those mini apps.

I only have it for a day.. but here is what i found on regard to this app.

Pros:

1. Finally u can watch youtube, even when the screen is off.

2. Increase productivity, ie.. in gmail app, press a link and open OverSkreen without having to switch apps.

3. It loads website relatively fast

4. It can play flash

Cons:

1. If you open a second window, and tab to type on the previous window, the top window will cover your virtual keyboard.

2. Websites that does alot of redirects tends not to load.

3. the dismiss and close button on the top left of the windows is too small to press comfortably.

Just tried it... Check for updates does not find it yet, d'loaded manually. Well, it works... surely, not faster than 3.x... but not to say much slower, too. Surely, the same things I do not like and Archos does - they are all in place (e.g. stretching all images and video to full screen, with no option to view them in actual size). Surely, a whole bunch of apps that I do not need and will never use - with no way to unload them and save CPU power, battery and RAM. Surely, most of my everyday apps are missing or uncomplete (e.g. short of some codecs). Surely, all the tools for Google to keep an eye of every your move. Kernel 3.0.x - good, but not the latest one...

Now eagerly waiting for both Ubuntu and Kubuntu compilations... not expecting really much from them, but at least as an intermediate stage... just to see once again that the only viable software is the one you compile yourself from the ground up, without "good advices" of marketologists (claiming to know my needs better than me) and promoters (of their own interests, of course - not mine).
