Check what ro.product.device is set to in build.prop. There are certain values, X10i, X10a, X10, ect that are required to be recognized.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
In the 0.5.3 version, if ro.product.device value on the phone is not matched by any device in FT, then FT will ask you to identify your device manually from a list.

Then it will ask you (new in 0.5.3) if you want to permanently identify your connected device as the one you manually choosed (technically, it adds the ro.product.device value to recognition list of the device you manually choosed).

I tried the folder removing trick, but I still plug my phone in and while winAMP asks me if I want to manage the device, Flashtool isn't seeing it. I'm running Cobrato's MIUI 1.11.18, USB debugging is enabled.

I also go to try and install the x10 adb drivers and I am told that the INF file doesn't support the method of installation.

What the heck am I missing?

EDIT: If it's any use, I went into the help>check drivers, and it said all was okay. Then i went into flashtool 0.2.9.1 and got this:

Hey I have 0.5.3.0.... Anf when m connecting my device to flashtool.. It saying device connected with debugging off. Whats this ?

And do I have to go in flash mode than connect my phone to flashtool..
[Sony Cross-Device General] surki:
How do I know is my bootloader unlocked after i try to do it with this tool?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Try to run the unlock plugin again. If already unlocked, the plugin will stop and inform you it is already unlocked
[Sony Cross-Device General] aloy99:
You have to reflash the stock kernel before relocking the bootloader or you will brick your phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] surki:
Thanks for the fast answer. Everything seems to be ok, bootloader unlocked. Now i have to choose kernel to install. which one do you reccomend (link please)? not sure if kernel have to be related to specific custom ROM so if you can tell me some good combination. doesnt matter if its MIUI or SE based.
[Sony Cross-Device General] npk21:
Please tell me how to unlock the bootloader via flashtool .

I have flashtool 0.5.0.0 with 0.5.3.0 update!!

Where is the option to unlock the bootloader , and why cant i open the plugin option?

Please Help me !
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
The plugin appears if and only if you meet requirements to run the unlock process.

Go to the flashtool homepage (link in OP) and go to the FAQ tab. I listed here the requirements for BL unlock plugin.
[Sony Cross-Device General] npk21:
..................

Whoa , its working thanks a lot sir , can u please tell me which is the best stable kernel to use ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Realorasz:
Um..... Help?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
There is a small miss in the 0.5.3 :-)

Try this version :

x10flasher.jar

replace the x10flasher.jar of your flashtool folder with this one.

It has to be done on a 0.5.3 version.

But it will still say that there is a driver error :-)

Drivers are in the drivers folder of flashtool. You have to install X10 ADB drivers.
[Sony Cross-Device General] brclho:
For the latest flash tool, I still need to have installed seus for the drivers? Or does the latest flash tool not need it?

I am assuming we still need the drivers from seus...? Please clarify I just reformatted computer
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
thts great! we need some testers!

please wait for some time we are working on making a driver installer...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Realorasz:
Alright. Driver issue resolved. Now comes the part where I want to get things straight.

First off, I should be able to flash BB71 and its kernel... that ftf anyway, and have the kernel needed for the BL unlock plugin, right?

If so, then does the phone need to be in flashmode for BL unlock? And then after that, I ought to be able to just flash the ftf of DooMLorD's kernel. Am I getting all of this right?

EDIT: Or does the kernel downgrade from 9Lukas5's thread flash the stock SE kernel?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Realorasz:
That... didn't answer the question... I'm looking to unlock BL not root mah friend

EDIT: nevermind, first click of the link took me to the wrong post O.o

That still leaves one thing unanswered.. but I thin I know how to answer it. I have the bundle of BB71 and the stock SE GB kernel from WB's thread. I should be able to just flash the kernel.sin from that right? I'm on Cobrato's MIUI so not currently on stock kernel
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Just use seus to get back to stock then root with ft. U should then be able to unlock bl
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
The link should lead to the post "HOWTO Unlock BL". Nevermind :)

I think flashing stock SE kernel should be enough for unlocking the BL.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
@G-FACE

Finally, with 0.5.3 do you still have issues with E15/E10/U20 recognition in FT ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Hey androxyde how exactly would i install adb drivers as described above? Trying to help someone out who has this driver problem. Thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Realorasz:
Reporting successful unlocking. Flashed WB's rom then unlocked, flashed Doom's kernel and bootmanager for Cobrato's miui, and installed miui as instructed. I AM IN LOVE. Now I know a little more eh? Lol..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
I will soon deliver a driver installer package that will ease everything :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Excellent thank u very much!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
can you try this driver package ?

you should only need x10 adb and flasmode drivers :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] thecrazyfarang:
Hi,

I was having problem with the latest flash tool to get it to recognise my phone. I'm on Windows 7 64bit and have manually installed the drivers and downloaded the correct java for my os.

My phone still is not being recognised. Before I used to get connected with debug off, but now after doing all the above, I'm getting the following msg:

27/015/2011 21:15:10 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

What should I do now? what is MSC mode and how to enable it? I tried mounting the sd card but that doesn't help. I'm completely lost now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
What is your phone ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
Thanks for asking :)

My friends reported there is no problem anymore for E15, for the others I have no info.

Btw, do you think of implementing recovery installing for the above devices?
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Hey there i am tring to install drivers but my pc wont allow it it says it is malicious. I disable AVG & windows is now preventing install. I accepted it but it seems to have frozen. it keeps asking again & screen is stuck:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Have you only checked X10 and flashmode drivers ?

drivers are unsigned, that is why there is a security warning but you can install them safely

driver installation can be long
[Sony Cross-Device General] thecrazyfarang:
sorry forgot to mention it, I've got the Xperia X10i

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

I had the same warning, just ignore it and click on install anyway and the drivers will be installed
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
As soon as I take info on how recovery is booted on those devices, yes :-)

actually it is already implemented. Just bootkit.tar and recovery.tar are missing

bootkit.tar for X10 is chargemon trick. Have to port it to E15 for example :-)

recovery.tar, check the one for X10 in 0.3GB for example, you will easily understand what it is :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Hmmm strange so.

Can you go to Help -> Check drivers and give me here the log of this check ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Yeah is this what u mean?

You have issues with 0.5.3 ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] AMIR-TUTU:
0.5.3 is realy good but when i click on xrecovery installer my custom kernel is gone and xperia reboot option doesnt work because xrecovery not exist.:confused:

and again i try installation xrecovery but not install ever:)

and i have to install xrecovery whit 0.2.9.1 version of flashtools and then restore system to return my doom kernel and my setings;)

can you fix this?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
hehe I see and I know why it behaves this way ;-)

Actually if you install recovery using flashtool, you have to install kernel using flashtool if you don't want to loose recovery

but at the moment I published no kernel for flashtool yet ;-)

globally here is how it works :

recovery installer pushes a file named recovery.tar and extracts it in /system/recovery

kernel installer pushes a file named kernel.tar and extracts it in /system/kernel

the content of recovery.tar must be as follow (I will take 0.3GB as an example)

0.3GB/recovery.tar.gz

0.3GB/recovery.desc

the desc file is a descriptor used by bootkit to know where is recovery.tar.gz and how to extract it (recovery.tar.gz can be recovery.tar or recovery.tar.bz2 so recovery.desc contains the compression method used for recovery image)

here is the desc file for 0.3GB :

recoveryimage=/system/recovery/0.3GB/recovery.tar.gz

compression=gz

the content of kernel.tar is similal (I will take DoomV5 as an example) :

DoomV5/boot.img

DoomV5/kernel.desc

here would be the kernel.desc content :

kernelmethod=custom

kernelimage=/system/kernel/DoomV5/boot.img

now here is how flashtool set the default kernel and default recovery :

cp /system/recovery/0.3GB/recovery.desc /system/recovery/default

cp /system/kernel/DoomV5/kernel.desc /system/kernel/default

and you are done :-)

that way you can install as many kernel as you want as well as as many recoveries as you want and from flashtool, boot whatever you want and set default ones you want for booting the device

if kernelmethod=internal the the internal kernel (the last flashed kernel.sin) will be booted.
[Sony Cross-Device General] AMIR-TUTU:
very very thanks for your help my dear friend.thanks a lot bro:)

[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
It's possible for Xperia 2011 devices...
[Sony Cross-Device General] zeb_hm:
i Hope it'll be included in the next release :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
its simple just download the FTF from Blagus's thread in ARC/PLAY section
[Sony Cross-Device General] Eugene1991:
What about re-locking X10?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zeb_hm:
i manage to download the FTF file from XPERIA PLAY Thread,. but i did not flash it because i guess it wont boot since am still in a kernel for Unlock Bootloader, maybe i have to flash a stock kernel first then flash that FTF file.. to lock.. but am a noob and i wont take the risk. Maybe and i hope RE-LOCKING BOOTLOADER will be included in the next release of the FLASH TOOL... i hope....I also tried the other way by LASER using S1TOOL,. but it didnt recognize my phone., ...
[Sony Cross-Device General] G-FACE:
I'm not sure what kernel you need, buti if you first flash stock firmware on the phone and then the relocking ftf, there shouldn't be a problem.

S1too works only for 2010 xperia devices.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DooMLoRD:
That file is for xperia 2011 ONLY
[Sony Cross-Device General] zeb_hm:
So i guess i'll be using the S1 tool only for my X10,?

now it recognized my phone,. maybe have to ask LASER about this, hehehe :) cheers!

some problems with unlocking bootloader with method here.

when I start plugins->x10 unlock->run the process end very quickly and after :

- my phone is always detect with usb debug off.

- when I connect it to a pc in power off mode, the flash mode is always active without have push the "back" button.

- I can't never leave it in charge mode with the battery logo in center of screen, it start automaticaly when I plug the charger cable.

I have to reflash it with SEUS to come back to standart behaviour...
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Not sure wot u mean pal but u have to hold back when u plug in phone to get into flash mode
[Sony Cross-Device General] maisondouf:
I don't mean anithing, I only explain that I see.

After the unlock process falls down, my x10 stay always in flash mode whitout having to pull the back button.

As soon as I plug it to the PC, FlashTool detect it in flash mode...

Now after flashing it with SEUS, I HAVE TO pull back button to enter flash mode.

I will try again from the first step...

If your device is black or white has nothing to do with the hardware. So, no that can't be the cause of your problem.
