[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ReznorNInchNails:
You can get into fastboot without flashtool if drivers are correctly installed.

Stupid question: Have you already unlocked your bootloader? If you haven't done any modding before (e.g. flashing custom ROM) you might haven't done it so. That can explain why your phone goes charging when you plug USB cable instead of fastboot mode. Try also some Linux live distributions. Some of them have adb and fastboot included.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lokeshkumarn:
I have done flashing and modding.

But right now I am not able to put the phone in fastboot mode

I am expecting some helpful comments instead of asking me to search for answers.

Because I have already searched for those, came here finally.

Please provide helpful comments to put the phone in fastboot.

I am not able to find the answer
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LoneWanderer:
How did you unlock your bootloader?? I mean by which method did you do it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ReznorNInchNails:
First, you didn't provide importrant information. Which ROM you currently have, which one you are trying to flash, have you tried to update firmware via OTA, because there are some situations where you can accidentaly relock your bootloader. I assume you didn't brick your phone earlier with FOTA, like in my case.

Next, when you try to connect into fastboot mode, try it without FlashTool and open device manager and watch if it responds when you try to connect phone with usb while holding menu key. Fastboot is a command line application which can work without FlashTool (which is a GUI frontend to fastboot).

Second, you didn't read my post thoroughly. I suggested you to try a Linux live distribution, e.g. ubuntu. Just boot it from CD or USB and when it is ready you can connect phone in fastboot mode, just hold a menu key and plug the usb cable and see if blue light goes on. It will probably not solve your problem on Windows, but will give us some answers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] wojtasik6:
I have the same problem. I want to get into fastboot mode but nothing happens. The computer only gives a sound of connection the device and that's it. No blue led when pressing home and connecting to the computer.

How can I flash the kernel?

I have adb drivers installed

When I normally have neo running then there's no problem in turning int Fastboot pressing a lighting in flashtool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
It's menu key you have to press... Not home key...

I use Sony Ericsson Xperia NeoV and i have the same problem.. computer is able to detect my phone in fastboot mode but it is not able to install fastboot drivers..i have tried installing flashtool drivers but nothing helped me.. i have even tried adb driver installer... please help
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] akhilll09:
Connect your phone in Fastboot mode (the blue notification light should go ON). Go to "Device Manager" and uninstall the driver for your phone. Disconnect the phone & connect it again to Fastboot mode and now while your computer initiates the driver installation, browse and select the "ADB Drivers". This should do the trick.

Hit "Thanks" if it helped!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sujithar37:
First Uninstall everything. Then install Sony updater service, it will install all the relevant contents( I am not exactly sure it will have the fastboot files)... Install flashtool after that and choose fastboot and Neo V drivers during the installation....may be it will help you...normally the issue will happen due to any of the missing driver...press and hold menu key (bottom right side) for fastboot mode
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arpaham:
fastboot xperia neo v

I can connect my Xperia neo v to win7 in in fastboot mode, but only when the device is turned off.

All I have to do is with the device turned off hold "menu" key and connect the usb cable to the device.

(The first time I did it Windows complained about the driver, and I had some difficulties to find it but eventually I've managed to install it and now it works)

windows 7 reporst the device as "S1boot Fastboot"

and to check if the connection is ok you can use the fastboot command which comes with the android sdk.

\>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version (just ask the version of the custom usb vendor id)

as output to the above command you should see something like:

version: 0.3

Hello everyone. I'm glad to hear that this worked for you too :laugh:

Honestly I don't know, as I have not ever installed AT&T ROMs on my phone, only Bell ones. As far as I know, you can install AT&T ROMs on Bell phones, but only if they have unlocked bootloaders. As a matter of fact, there is a guide for that! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050283

Hope this helps.

well crud...

Right in the middle of flashing a new ROM (the PACMAN) my sWindows machine goes to the infamous blue-screen-of-death... Now the phone is in bootflash mode and won't accept any flashing.

After spending most of the day trying various 'tricks' to no avail, I'm resolved to send it to mobiletechvideos.com and let them revive it. I think it will take a JTAG to jump-start this guy...

I'll post a reply when it's returned and report on what they were able to do.

Strangely enough I can flash MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX after removing the red lines, but can't get past "fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin" when trying MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA
[Motorola Atrix HD] clockcycle:
So what I found out is that you can not "cross flash" without encountering errors. Find out which base your phone is currently, as the partition table my be different and you may not be able to flash gpt_main0.bin. I got the point I couldn't use RSDlite to flash any of the 4.1.x stock roms without it failing. Had to do it manually, when you find which, you're able to flash it all without errors.

mfastboot

I would like to add to this, I was getting stuck on an error "fastboot target reported max download size ," on any of the restore .img files which were over ~30MB and the remedy was to download the mfastboot.exe (url was not allowed just google it, its one .exe) and to place it in the working directory with the .img and fastboot files. Then run all the flashes over 30MB with "mfastboot flash _____ ______.img" I was stuck on "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"

In my case (and possibly others) the commands would now be (you need mfastboot in the restore img & fastboot directory!!) :

fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin

fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn

fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn

fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn

Oh I see, But that would be great if someone could make that worked.

I messed up but I fixed it, mostly. I picked up a note two from Verizon hardware version I605.06 but coming from the Nexus I quickly tired of touchwiz and longed for the halcyon days of CyanogenMod. I ended up using heimdall to root and install Recovery but forgot that the bootloader was still locked, so soft bricked it. Tried restoring to stock using Odin but could not use Official VRALJB4.1.1 since it would fail at sbin. After figuring out that this had something to do with the bootloader I used the the alternate restore file and my phone worked again. So I started over using Casual and was able to get root again but apparently my bootloader is no longer stock and so it tells me to get off the internets. I was able to flash root66 but can’t for the life of me figure out how to unlock the bootloader.
