In the general forum there is a guide in the sticky topics about how to root with locked bootloader.
I want to try it but its for lt15i and I have lt15a.
Can I use it or I need different firmware.
Another thing, I bought the phone from a carrier so the firmware as the carrier changes. Is there any way after the firmware change to restore the carrier firmware?

Yes, you can. Told you that before in the other section.

Just flash a LT15a 2.3.2 firmware on it, root that and do OTA to 2.3.3.

Is there any way downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2?
I have a locked sim card. So i cant unlock the bootloader. And no good enough toturial on Remote Unlock.
Can i use flash tool to downgrade?

Don't think it will work.. Surely the kernel will not be compatible with 2.3.2 because it will still have the 2.3.4 one.. You can only flash kernel with unlocked bootloader.

Ya you can use flashtool to downgrade no problem

Flashtool replaces the kernel too.
flashtool 2.9.1 will flash and downgrade without bootloader,think of it as the PCCompanion
How do i remove root? Want the 4.0 update. But do we really get. Maybe we get it. But what if Sony Ericsson means that. We will make ics for Xperia PLAY?
I want original ICS. From SE
Btw could some one upload 2.3.2 link. And howto video? Locked sim card. It failed

I Cant understand what you just said... a video tutorial is not necessary since thousands of user did it without it.

Could someone post a 2.3.2 Eroupean ftf file?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
calm down dude.
I dont get why you want to downgrade anyways? Why dont you just stick to 2.3.4?
Yay
it worked. but its an UK ftf. does this go away when i gingerbreak. then ota root keeper? does it update to my original language. cant find Norwegian in Languages on my Xperia PLAY 2.3.2
Go to wotanserver.com and find your version then use gingerbreak if it's 2.3.2 or zergrush exploit if it's 2.3.3 or higher. They should have your region.

can downgrade sure CONFIRM!
May I know which process you use to downgrade to 2.3.2.
Wontanserver for sure. Good program, downloads and installs any firmware you want.
I have a R800X Verizion phone
Looking for a compatible 2.3.2 recovery FTF that wont brick me
I did a search on google and XDA and no results .
can anyone help? thanks
Still need.
Go to the r800x state of development thread. There's a 2.3.2 ftf and a 2.3.3 ftf there... why would you want the 2.3.2 one anyway though?
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Wotanserver.com's version is only 2.3.2.

I'm just curious but has anyone uncovered a way to root the Xperia play on Verizon running 2.3.4. The only way I've found is to downgrade to 2.3.3

No current way.

If you have the RootXperia.zip from Blagus (original clockwork mod recovery boot.img thread), you can flash that via Clockwork Mod. Make sure you have CWM installed first (unlocked bootloader).

There really is no point in using 2.3.4.
Unless you love new bloatware, no root, and many other problems
Use flashtool to get back to 2.3.3 and enjoy the fun!
i have root on 2.3.4 but i can't remember the steps. and yes there is no point on having 2.3.4
If you flash to 2.3.3, root it, and then update to 2.3.4 you will have rooted 2.3.4
Thats the good news
The bad news is, 2.3.4 doesn't connect to Google's servers properly (rooted or not) so you annoyingly can't use gtalk, and a couple other features, you have to manually refresh your Gmail, calendar, etc (It does it once per day otherwise), can no longer "buy apps" on the web and have them pushed to your phone automatically. And some apps with push notifications no longer notify.
Is the only way to unlock the bootloader for the r800x to use the paid method from unlock-bootloader.com ?
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
If you unlock your bootloader you can flash Super User zip from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
That is the classic and easiest way to root a device with an unlocked bootloader
Just instal it in recovery and your good to go!
Yes for the R800x the only BL unlock method is for 24$
I'm on 2.3.2, does 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 have access to the PS Store app?
I had thought about updating to a newer version, but damn, I can't believe all those issues with 2.3.4

You should ftf to 2.3.3. It is the most stable Gingerbread version for the R800x.
Or you can always use UK ROM
I have rooted my R800x wth the original gingerbreak exploit chew

Yes, I believe it is. It is so well worth it though
I really want 2.3.4. I couldn't give less f*cks about bloatware. They do nothing. I want the screenshot and other things they added. But Doom never updated his kernel to support the camera. Oh well.

Sure have, best $24 I've ever spent for android. I've mostly ran cm7 or cm9 since I've become quite use to them, but since unlocking it I can't even imagine how I went with just root for so long

Hi guys... I was looking here on the forum any solution for my problem and couldnt find it out, sorry if theres a topic about it, I couldn't find it.
I've got my Xperia Arc S 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62 LT18i and I've rooted it with the doomlord tool, it worked fine and looked like if it rooted normally but now I can't install any app coz it says that its not root, needs to install supersu and/or busybox so ok, I've tried to install SuperSu but when I open it, it says that there is no binary files and cant install it... I've updated its version and also tried to reinstall but no way, always the same message. =/ Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks.
You can't root. 62 using the zergrush root.
Best way is to downgrade the kernel to. 42 then root, then upgrade to .62 either by ota or by using flashtools.

Can enlighten about the upgrade via flashtool as I lost root if upgrade via flashtool. Usually wipe is all tick, exclude & verfication is left untick when flash upgrade root .42 to .62?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
You will not lose the unlocked bootloader status.
You can not flash new firmware without losing root. Only way is to root again after flashing the firmware.
Thank you!
