Yes, that gets me into fastboot, but i need to get into flashmode to repair the phone.

I am a bit of a nivice at adb

Currently I am charging my phone ready to try a repair. Now I have flashe d another kernel I will give it a go again. If this doesnt work I willflash a stock kernel and try and that...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pulser_g2:
It's possible to force a full power-off of the phone (not just a three-vibrations one).

I am not keen to post the instructions on the forum, as it isn't the nicest of methods (but it doesn't require you to open the case). PM me if you have no other options (if you can hook onto UART to see what is going wrong, that might be best)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
Fastboot -w all

Will wipe data and caches, so should clear what ever is triggering the bypass of flashmode.

If really desperate you can also -w system, but then have no os... Handy if the os is causing the bypass, but not helpful if it's the bootloader..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thanks, I will have a look at that, not sure I want to wipe system yet as I am not confideent of getting an OS back onto it...we will see.

EDIT

Fastboot -w all does not work. Command not recognised
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
My bad.

Its just fastboot -w to wipe.

Fastboot erase to format
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
cheers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
So you've managed to get your device recognised in fastboot?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
yes.

Using adb reboot bootloader.

But it still will not go into fastboot or flashmode via pressing the up/down volume buttons.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
Weird, what about recovery? Maybe a factory reset?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
tried factory reset, does not work.

Recovery works so the keys are being recognised just not when i try to enter flashmode or fastboot
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Is there an adb command to reboot to flashmode?

Similar to adb reboot bootloader to reboot to fastboot but will enable flashmode?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Pcc recognizes your phone when you have your phone on right?

Just run the updater, it will reboot it into flash mode, and only then it will say it can't flash. Turn off pcc, run flashtool

Maybe even shutdown pcc while rebooting, and first make sure flashtool is ready to flash

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Pccompanion does recogonise phone when turned on, but the phone does not reboot into flashmode. Thats when I first noticed the problem when trying to update to JB.

But i will give it a go with that and flashtool...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
You can try from these.

Adb reboot-bootloader

Adb reboot recovery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Also just try

- adb reboot flash

- Adb reboot flashmode

- Adb reboot download (this is for Samsung but you never know what kind of crazy things devs put onto it :p)

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
adb reboot-bootloader just boots into fastboot

adb reboot recovery just reboots the phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
@pulsar

I tried your method. After it hard turned off when i tried to connect in fastboot the computer tried to install a QSBUSB DLOAD driver, but it failed..

Still more things to try....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
Try reinstalling drivers, use the ones from koushs website. They've always served me well for my devices

http://www.clockworkmod.com/tether/drivers
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
all 3 of those just reboot the device

WIll try that, but like i said my wifes phone works on this PC so I suspect its the phone ...

EDIT tried that, it downloaded an older version of PCCompanion...but thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
Weird, I'm out of ideas. If I think of something I'll post back
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
me too.....

I just hope someone uploads a JB .zip soon so I can join in with JB.

It doesnt have to be rooted or anything...just a straight .zip from the kitchen.

As for other ideas....I have y wifes phone which is not rooted and LB. I am hoping someone may have an idea on how I can "clone" that phone and maybe start again. obvioulsy with flashmode, but i can get into fastboot...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Galcactus:
Not sure if this helps, but I was having flashtool problems yesterday where the phone just quit flashmode while flashtool was working. For some reason doing a virtual battery pull then not pressing amy buttons, just plugging the phone in made it complete the flash sequence for me, but we have a slightly different problem. Have you tried flashing on a different computer?

Click the thanks button if I helped!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
I could make a zip later, but haven't done yet so might take a while.

Do you have some heads up? Will read op of ai1 thread later.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
You would still need to get into flashmode or fastboot to flash a .489 kernel though to get a working phone.

If anyone can help me include the kernel in the zip that problem would be solved, hopefully greg's phone will behave after that.

EDIT: oh wait you can get into fastboot via adb. So after the Rom flash is finished, adb reboot-bootloader and flash .489 kerne.l
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, However, I will have to be careful as you have said that the phone bootloops after flashing the rom and I need the phone to boot up so that i can use adb commands to boot into fastboot...

Is it possible to flash doomkernel to get recovery, then flash the rom, then flash the stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
I'm not completely sure but I think you cab use Adb from recovery. Try it out before flash ;)

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I hadnt thought of that. I will try now

EDIT

Just tried on siyah kernel and adb devices returns no attached devices, so it appears adb does not work in recovery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
It is possible you need to mount system/data.

Would've tried it myself but busy with installing ubuntu :p

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Yes that's true if you are not on a .489 kernel. Then you should try the other way around, Put the zip on your phone, go to fastboot and flash the kernel first.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No, does not work
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Lol, and I hadn't thought about that :p

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
It depends on the recovery, I can use adb in recovery with CWM for locked bootloaders. That's why I assumed it always works and greg could adb reboot-bootloader from recovery after flashing :s I often use it to push system files instead of making flashable zips.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
ok, but it doesnt work on siyah kernel.

I am going to flash your rom later.

ATM i am at a los about the flashmode/fastboot error. I can only think there is a hardware problem with my micro usb connector on my phone, but it charges fine and connects to the computer no problem when turned on.....

Oh well,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
That is puzzling. Might be a stupid question but have you tried a different usb cable? I've noticed that my phone doesn't always go into flasmode when I use the cable from my wife's S.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No I havent, but it works for my wifes phone...I am willing to try anything now....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
so your wife's phone is also Xperia T?

if not, try re-installing flashtool drivers (the one packaged inside Flashtool under driver folder), i always wonder why i need to tick and choose my phone model on the list there during driver installation, maybe it does make a difference but not sure
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
It ain't the drivers, his phone doesn't go to flash or fastboot mode, not even a split second.

And that was one of the first things he did. Even states so in the op

Did I help? Please press the thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes she has a T

I have already tried reinstalling everything. I have tried all the usual methods, even some "secret" ones that pulsar has shared with me. Nohing works. i suspect some weird hardware failure, but not sure why the cable, charger, volume keys work at other times, just not when entering these two modes.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
now that's really hard to troubleshoot:(

and even the official Sony flashtool cannot be used since your problem seems to be that the volume down does not work nicely with usb input

probably a hardware problem but i hope you still find a way to solve it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, its a problem.

I can enter fastboot via adb commands, but withour flashmode I am stuck if I ever need to go back to stock or do an official update
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I have managed to get onto 4.1.2 rom, even though i cant access flashmode/fastboot... and the problem persists.

Its a good job I have insurence on my phone...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Ok an update on this

I have just noticed that I dont have any offline charging, could there be an issue with the chargemon file....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
system/bin/chargemon?

Thanks

EDIT

It didnt help, but without offline charging I am now tending to think it may not be hardware related, as how does my phone charge when its turned on?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gothman:
Hi.

Have you solved your Problem?

I have the same prob, no offline charging and no normal way to get into fastboot- or flashmode.

But i figured out, that i can enter every mode this may.

Flashmode:

-connect the phone to pc

-hold down "volume down"-key (vol-up for fastboot)

-press pwr button and release both keys on vibration

That's helpful, but i need offline-charging. i think that the phone can not recognize a connection anymore when it is offline.

But how we can fix it?

sorry for my poor english
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No not solved yet. Do you do this with phone turned off or on?

EDIT

Many thanks, I can now connect in flashmode again!!! I havent been able to do that for 2 months.

I have been able to connect in fastboot by using adb commands, but I have always been wary because I had no flashmode.

I dont know how to fix the offline charging. Can you remember what you did just before this happened to you?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gothman:
The last actions i performed before was flashing JB several times. i tried to find out which is the right image for me. then i got

the "triangle-problem" and tried to flash the orig. stock.489.ftf after full wipe as i recognized that im not able to get in

flashmode or offline charge anymore.

i discoverd that my device is charging when booted to TWRP, so offline charging must possible.

Could it be that the phone does not turn on when at usb connection though it should. the only difference to enter any bootmode

is powering on the device....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
if you are in recovery then its not offline charging.

I am making some enquireies wether or not this implies a hardware problem (i.e there needs to be some power to enter these modes and a brief turn on forces it which would imply a usb socket problem) or a software issue.

I seem to remeber this happened to me after trying to download a from pccompanion, so I must have been in flashmode for that to happen....which sort of suggest software issues...

is confusing but I am still working on it.

ps,

can you check if you can enter fastboot via the adb command

adb reboot bootloader

cheers

[Droid X General] drneely:
I have a Droid Milestone X that I had rooted for a friend and had the MEID # checked by Verizon to make sure it was cleared for verizon's network. The Service tech said it was good to go, which in turn means the phone will have no issues connecting to Verizon's network. However, when he went to connect service at the verizon store the phone wouldn't accept service through verizon. What is the underlying issue and how could this be fixed?

Thanks for the help in advanced
[Droid X General] mbm262:
the milestone is a european version of the droid x, it can be used on VZ network however in order to do this is needs to be SBF to a android version that works on the network, I.E. froyo, gingerbread.

you need to see what version of milestone x is now and SBF it over to the compatible version wich would be android based. Unfortunatly there are numerous versions floating around that you can choose from and some will lock you into a version you cant escape like the .621 version. so you need to know what version your can put on your milestone that verizon still uses.

I would start by looking at your settings on the milestone to see what version it is. you can do this by:

hitting home button, then selecting settings then go to about phone.. there is will tell you what everything is. it will tell you MODEL OF PHONE and it should say milestone X, version should say android 2.3.3 or something similar but I dont know what version you have, then look for baseband vers, then kernel vers,. after you find all that you can look on google or droidx forums online and look for whatever you have and find out what Verizon verzion is compatible still then you will need to SBF, RSDlite, or live CD it over...... if you dont know what any of that means then you should look on forums on how to do that. after you have done that you should be able to set it up on Verizon. what ever you do stay away from the .621 update, if you use that one you will be stck on that and wont be able to move off it....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
so i came across this yesterday, and thought id try it.. basically the app offers you the world.. a tweak for everything.. brighter LED flash, smooth all the lag, better call quality, phone boots faster, pictures are crisper, camera takes better pictures, videos stop playing out of sync, faster wifi connect, faster media streaming, faster DNS, and so on..

tried it myself, and if anything its making stuff choke up, where it used to work fine lol. but totally as expected.

just wondering if anyone else has tried this, and what they thought of it.

I'm sure there have been a plethora of topic and/or posts devoted to my question so please bear with me! If there is a specific thread/posts related directly to my question then please direct me there.

I desperately need an app that can move files to my SD card on a NON-ROOTED phone. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Thanks!

RD
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloxed:
I'm guessing you need an app to move apps to the (external?) SD card , right? If that's the case, there are plenty that try to do just that, but they usually need root access. Those that work without root access (e.g. Apps 2 SD) are only able to move certain apps, as the vast majority does require root access to move them.

If you meant regular files, I think the default file manager would do the trick. Or any other file manager (e.g. Astro File Manager).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randun:
Sorry for not being more specific.

I'm definitely trying to move files to my external SD card. I think that I may have seen Apps 2 SD but forgot about it. Yea, that's the one major problem with the S3 is the inability to move apps to the external SD card. And, I'm painfully aware that most of the apps out there are for rooted phones, which just sucks.

Oh well, I'll download the A2SD app when I free up more space to do so.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randun:
