Flashtool does not recognize my device

I can't access Fastboot or Flashmode.

When I press the power button nothing happens.

When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the UP volume button the LED flashes red then turns blue. It stays blue.

When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the DOWN volume button the LED flashes red then green then the LED turns off.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I get to step 6 nothing happens. it's like I can't get into Flashmode. It just repeats connect your device. No matter how many times I do it or how long I hold the button. It's not recognizing the device. PC companion doesnt recognize it either.

Yes. I broke the charger connector thing in the phone. I had it repaired and it was working. I honestly think the place that repaired it messed with the phone to get more money out of me.

They fixed it and when I took it, once it ran out of battery it started to do the same thing again. I cant figure out what it is.

it seems that they didnt fix your phone at all. I suggest you go to a more reliable store or even if there is one near you to a sony repair store

VOL UP (Blue LED) is fastboot. This is working . Thats a good thing.
1. Turn the Handy off
2. Press and hold VOL+UP
3. Connect the cable
4. Wait till the LED is blue and take your fingers from the phone
The display will indicates nothing in this mode.. It's normal.

Now you can Download TWRP Recovery for C6603.
Have you got an open bootloader.
which rom you wanted to install? stock? custom?

1. Download the boot-twrp-v2.img from (please take the right version for your phone):
2. Make your PC available for adb+fastboot:
3. Go in folder with "fastboot.exe"
4. Press "Shift+Mouse-Right-Click"
5. "open command windows here"
6. C:\Flashtool\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot boot-twrp-v2.img

Go in Recovery and wipe/factory reset (or flash a new rom, ...)

Should work. Good Luck.

you could try to recover your os via Sony PC Companion

your solution is not going to help because its a hardware problem and pc companion wont help since the phone wont even boot up

in a similar (or worse) problem :

was just using the phone when it hangs .. Instead being smart and patient, I tried to hard-reset it .. the screen goes dark, my android wear disconnect .. but then I literally got nothing ..

tried to put it to the cradle, connect the USB to computer, no lights, nothing

fastboot mode : volume up + connect USB, no lights, nothing

hold power button : no lights, nothing ..

the phone feels cold, so the procs seems to be sleeping ...

any ideas ?

believe me hard reset didnt do that. Either your battery died and now you need a new battery or you phone died and now you need a new phone :(:confused:
