[Q] Unable to go inteo Flash mode - Xperia Play General

Just tried to flash my phone to get rooted 2.3.3 but i can't enter flash mode. I've powered of my phone. Then hold down the "back button" and plug in the USB-cable. The thing is that there is this thing popping up on my PC saying i need drivers for "s1Boot Download", which i can't found (i didn't got a cd with the phone either). What do i do?

First off make sure you have Flashtools Version 0.2.9.1. Then install SEUS this should install the required drivers since SEUS needs you to connect your phone in flash mode the same way flashtools does.
Or go into your flashtools folder then in the drivers folder and run ggsetup-2.2.0.10 and i think that will do the same job?
Or install pc companion off your phone, Settings > Sony Ericsson > Connectivity > Tick the install Pc companion box (no disc came in any box). When you connect your phone to the pc it will auto install pc companion. Make sure to untick after it has installed.
Personally i would install SEUS (to get the drivers) plus if you ever semi brick your phone (unlikely to happen) or you want to reinstall the software (back to stock) SEUS is the best.

Problems with PC Suite after upgrade

I am putting my problem here as i am a new member.
My PC Suite for X10 was working fine but last week i received firm ware update R2BA024 over the air. After that update, I tried to install PC suite on a new (as i bought a new PC) computer. however, after installation, PC suite gives message for software update, after following all the steps, at the stage where PC suite ask to remove the phone battery for 5 seconds and than connect the USB cable with phone while holding the BACK button, once i follow this step, my computer gets stuck and than i have to re-boot it. I tried installation on a 3rd computer as well to check but problem remains the same. However, if connect to my previous (1st) computer it does not show any message of software update and works well.
Can any body let me know what could be the problem and how i can over come. As presently it seems that I can no longer use PC suite on new computer.
Thanks
Hi.
PC Suite doesn't work with the X10, it's PC Companion you need to install.

I agree wahhhh Can't stop laughing maybe his new with the android phone lol.... any way your x10 every computer is fine and its work flawlessly..ones u connected into your computer it will prompt u first the sdcard and u will see some option and u can install the pc companion coz its already inside the sdcard ohh
Sorry Guys for my mistake!! Its actually PC companion (wrongly mentioned PC Suite). As mentioned in the my question, I was already using it on a different computer and worked fine. Also i installed update service.
But now on new PCs both are not working. I am sure that there is no problem with the PCs as i checked PC companion on 2 different PCs and problem remains the same. Problem started after upgrade from RF 14 to R2BA024
Thanks for your support again

what os version you have on ur new pc? is it windows 7, vista, xp? my nephew have windows7 laptop wen i plug in the usb cable onto my x10 it detects the new software and it installed automatically,,,, now you ca install pc companion and update service right from ur sdcard
on my laptop i have windows xp and its run flawlessly with no prob.....
I am using Windows XP professional. I have downloaded the latest version of PC companion version 2.00.142 and SEUS version 2.10.7.15. Both works well with my old PC as they were installed before firmware upgrade OTA to R2BA024. But incase i install these on a new PC and connect phone, PC gets stuck during the process as mentioned above.
ahhhhh!!!!! now i know what's the problem you need to factory reset your phone to refresh all the setting and update....but before that you need to back up your data..... go to settings-sd card & phone storage -factory data reset.... it won't deleted mp3,images,
wile the others to be deleted is contact,files, application downloaded, setting from the network but its ok it will prompt you automatically after you reset the phone....
good luck..... cross finger......
Thanks for the support. Just one more question - After Factory reset would i be able to receive again the latest firmware - R2BA024
Ahhhhhhh!! tried factory reset, re-installation of PC companion but problem remains the same. Computer gets stuck

what is the error message you get from pcs that does not work???
I had the same "problem"... Try this - Uninstall PC Companion > download the latest version (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en) > Install new version
I donot get any error messags. After pc companio installatjon it says softwafe update is available. But at at the stage where it ask to remove phone batter for 5sec and than connect phone while holding the back button when i do so computer gets hang. I will try to provide screen shots later as well to give more clear understanding
Well as nothing was going well so i decided to go back to my old computer for a try. I uninstalled Companion and SEUS and than reinstalled PC companion on the my old PC. After reinstall Campanion showed the same message of a software udate available here as well. So I started the upgrade process again and it started downloading, installation was also started with out any problem. However, at the installation finalisation stage (very final stage) i would get a an error message that installation was not succesful and to try again. Tried several times and during this try again process I all most brick my phone as well as at one stage my phone started showing yellow Exclaimation mark (I was almost dead) But than lucky the update process completed and phone rebooted succesfully.
So i went back to new my compture to check it their AND every thing was fine there as well. PC campanion is working perfectly fine on it. I also checked it an a 3rd PC also for the sake of checking and there as well every companion worked fine.
After software upgrade, my phone now also has the option of Sync with Sony web as well as before it only showed the option of sync with gmail.
What exactly was the problem!! am unable to sort it out so far. And I wonder what will happen if there is another upgrade available????

[Q] Sony Xperia X8 root issue

Hello guys
I ran through n no. of threads
I checked the steps for rooting the phone
And i did it accordingly but the "waiting for device" issue still prevails
I downloaded SE USB drivers as well though i don't know how to install them
I've PC companion's 2.0.0 version
I've SuperOneClick's 1.7 version
I'll tell you the steps i followed
1. SuperOneclick started
2. Click ROOT tab
3. Starting ADB... Waiting for status
4. With Unknown sources ON and USB debugging ON, i connect the phone
Even then it says Waiting for device
I read in the forums that it needs Windows Vista or 7
I've Windows XP Professional though 2002 Service pack 2 version
Pls help me get through this problem
Sorry for creating a new thread but i've been trying to this since hours together
What is the exact problem? And how do i check whether I've latest Sony Ericsson USB Drivers?
When it says waiting for device when phone is connected try to turn usb degging off and on or try to root phone with FlashTool
I´ve rooted on XP 2002 Home Edition SP3 without any problems.
Try it the following way, it worked perfectfor my sister´s phone with SE 2.1 (because I don´t know what I did with my phone any more , and we both have an E15i :
First of all, be sure that you are using the computer where you´ve upgraded to 2.1, or download the X8-drivers somewhere (google is your friend!^^)
extract the attached SuperOneClick.
Run the SuperOneClick.exe.
Enable USB debugging on your phone, but do not connect it yet.
Click "root".
let SOC start the ADB and the other stuff.
Connect your phone when it says "waiting for device".
After a few seconds, you should have root.
Try to install Sony ericsson update service...it will install the latest drivers during the installation of the program..
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Connection with Pc problem

Hello,i am trying to connect my ideos x5 to my pc (Win7/32bit) but i get 2 problems:
1)Windows cant install Huawei HSUSB Device. I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13306262&postcount=14 but still cant with message "Windows could not install the device"
2)When i put my phone at purple screen (power on + vol + , vol-) and connect with pc , cant install qualcomm cmda technologies msm.Again i follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408105 but Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 dont find my phone.
If you find a solution plss help me
Very strange, I've got Win7/32 as well, but didn't need the drivers to connect the phone in mass storage mode.
Can you please explain what exactly you're trying to achieve?
Are you trying to use HiSuite or just connect the phone to view it's contents?
The first option you've mentioned is for ADB interface and that only works if you've selected "USB debugging" ON.
Also, if you're trying to access the SD card contents from the PC, don't forget to activate (mount) the SD card from the phone.
The second one is not for Windows 7, is for Windows Mobile I think. I have to admit, the first time I've connected my phone in bootloader (pink screen) it failed to install that driver, but it never stopped me from exploring the Image folder contents in any way.
Cuz i dont know much from this things,The 1st one appear when i had debugging mode enabled , when it is disabled all are fine , so we are fine without debugging mode as i think and 2) The 1st time i connect my phone (purple screen) ( i wanted to install cwm recovery) image dont appear , i tried one more time now and it appeared so am fine from this too .Thnx anyway

LG G2 Driver Problem in Download Mode

Short history: I wanted to flash a Stock ROM. In normal mode, Windows knew the device properly. But when the device was in Download Mode, in device manager the icon of the LG phone had an exclamation mark (apparently something was wrong). Despite that, I started flashing using LG Flash Tool 2014. It failed after very slight initial progress. This was my first time doing flashing.
Current state: Whenever I hit the power button, it starts in Download Mode (i.e. the screen with "Firmware Update" title appears). I'm able to start a hard reset, but it fails. When I connect the device to my PC, I have the same device driver problem. I tried to reinstall LG drivers on Windows but wasn't successful.
Is there any solution?
Here is a picture of what I get whenever I try to reinstall the drivers: pasteboard.co/IxfmSgd.png

what driver version are you trying to install? (afaik - the latest one is "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe" )
did you try to completely uninstall and delete any LG related driver and let it install again when you connect the device?
- go to device manager
- find all LG phone drivers there and uninstall each one > on the uninstall prompt/popup > check "delete the driver software for this device" > then click "uninstall"
now you can try to install the drivers again from scratch...
do you use back usb ports on your computer? (if no - try to use them instead)

Thanks for your reply.
I installed LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.4.2
Several times I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
I even tried the device on another PC (both PCs having Windows 7).
Interestingly, all LG drivers worked properly on normal mode.
But the MTP driver doesn't work for Download Mode.
I'm not even sure if this behavior should not be expected.
yes, but did you uninstall the drivers completely like i said (with removing all the previous driver files) ?
i recently did a kdz flash from download mode to get back to stock lollipop but i didn't see that 4.4 driver that u have used (the most recent version i've found was the one i've mentioned in my previous post)
btw try to find some universal adb drivers as well...
also try installing the drivers before pluging the device to PC
