Need help getting my xperia play back to stock

i flashed to the beta ICS and want to be back on stock firmware
so i can get onto android market ect..
i tried using flashtool but keep getting an error
this error:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
there is nothing wrong with the usb port (i have tried others) and it is the same port i used to flash with
I get the error when it asks me to put the phone in flash mod (holding the back key then inserting the usb)
here is what i have
Xperia Play (R800i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_TW.ftf
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379
what can i do?

Try using the official software to update to stock. I don't have 8 posts yet so I can't post urls so you'll have to copy this into the address bar:
sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-play/
However, you say you're downgrading so you can access the Play Store? You should be able to access the store within ICS. You have to flash a gapps zip to install it however. You can get the latest ICS gapps here:
goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

I've used Wotan server before to flash a firmware. Not sure if that will work for you though.

Since flashtool isn't working re'lock your bootloader using,
Unlock using: http://adfoc.us/423185576865
And relock using this : http://adfoc.us/423185576880
Then you could use SEUS to reflash stock firmware. Or download this firmware http://adfoc.us/423185569090 and retry flashtool this has a better baseband imo than the rom your currently attempting to flash.

[Q] bootloop major problem

hello there
i have changed my rom and now i want to go back to my stock. i tried to use pc companion to restore the phone but when i did i got a message saying that i don't have the official rom (or something like that) and that i can not restore my phone to original. so i tryed to change my rom to the stock manually. but i dont know what .ftf file should i use. i made a try with one and now the phone bootloops and i can not even go to cwm to restore it from there.
please please please help me i am so lost.

You have to use flashtool to flash a stock ftf to your phone. There are some here Any one of them would do.
The one i use is here

the thing is that i have arc s and i am in greece. i guess i just need the official ftf file to flash throu flashtool but i just cant find it anywhere. if anyone knows please share a link.

greek official ics ftf is here

thanks man. i am downloading it right now. i just flashed an ftf file "LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel" and its still bootlooping, i just dont understand why is this hapenning.
+ am i ever gonna be able to use pc companion again anyway? i mean to update my os

i think the problem is you are flashing a kernal instead of a full rom.
also you'll be able to use PC companion and all it's functions when you have a stock rom

[Q] Reinstall Stock Rom

Anyone know how to reinstall the stockrom, currently on the latest but seems to have issues and would like a fresh reinstall of it. Tried using the Sony software that comes with the phone but when I try to 'repair' the phone in the software update section, it says that I can't download the firmware from my IP Address.

If you have a custom kernel on it you have to flash any gingerbread kernel like doomkernel and then flash a ftf firmware depending on your location.
If you have a r800i you can flash the .58 enhanced ftf. Just search for ftf collection for the xperia play, and there you can easily find the right ftf

[Q] Can't flash back to ,62

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

Restore your phone using Sony Update Service, since you have locked bootloader.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.
