Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray cant go to fastboot mode

[tdth]

Hi guys,
can i check how to go to fastboot mode in sony ericsson xperia ray? I got instructed to press Volume Up, turn on the phone then connnect the phone using USB cable to computer to get the phone to fastboot mode, but it just doesn't work, the LED doesn't turn to BLUE

I notice one thing that when the phone is one and connected to my computer through USB, when i press the volume up and turn off the phone, the LED then will turn to BLUE.... very weird

Appreciate any help, many thanks

1. Disconnect phone from USB
2. Turn off phone (make sure you have at least 50% battery) and wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold the 'Volume UP key' WHILE inserting the USB. --> LED turns blue = fastboot mode.
4. Leave the phone turned off

rooting the phone should not affect the sound settings.
Did you check the sound options?
Xloud turned on?

I cant get my mini pro sk17i into fastboot mode. Tried waiting more than 30 seconds before plugging in usb cable, nothing.

What color does the LED turn?
I don't have SK17i, did you try holding the menu button instead of the volume up button? as they are different models.

Sorry man for the late reply. Yes, Xloud is on, no matter what I did, the sound was still very soft. But after i rebooted the phone, the sound came back to normally now. So strange, anyways, thanks alot

You can try wwwong's suggest, or basically just try all the buttons on your phone. The design may be different between models, but you should be seeing same blue color LED when your phone is is fastboot mode

Here is a very nice video to unlock the bootloader. Step by step guide below it as well. It's for Arc but I followed that when I first unlocked my bootloader for my Ray.

I have SK17i, and can't go to fastboot mode. How can this be? I've charged my phone until it's battery has about 80-90% power. I have tried menu button and many hard-button on my device instead volume up button, but still there's no blue or green LED come :'(

Please help me guys.

Is your phone turned off? Look at the video above. It's the same general rules but different buttons are used.

I am having the issue, obviously our phones are branded... I THINK i might have actually unlocked the bootloader using S1TOOL with TP, but cant manage to get into fastboot... Is there any way to get around this issue anyone? And yes i have done everything right trying to get into fastboot...

Sent from my SK17i using XDA App

Same problem

 

[Jinx13]

If you do not get blue led that means fastboot is not enabled I can enable fastboot and then unlock your bootloader for you.
