Hey, ive purchased a new xperia play that was delivered today.
Everything worked fine until i updated the firmware and now it does not recognise my, or any other SIM cards.
I get the error message "Please insert SIM card and restart your phone".
Done some googling, cant find much of any use.
Cheers in advance

How did you update? OTA, SEUS or Flashtool? Maybe you should try the repair function in SEUS

If you still have your phone I suggest you update to the latest firmware, apparently the stock firmware had a bug that didn't read the sim and sd card firmware at the same time..
So try doing that and then do my advice from the previous post, it's worth a try

Does anyone know, or hear anything about an official AT&T 2.3.4 update for the Xperia play 4g and when it will be released?? i had got a random "a software update is availible" message today and when i went to pc companion to download it i was already up to date... ._. and i know Ics isnt due till late April early May for general release...so i thought maybe it was 2.3.4
I've been running 2.3.4 on my xperia play for some time now. I didn't hack it or anything I use AT&T too.
but my Xperia is a Google IO play I donna if that changes things.
Yeah I connect it to my pc and try to update it but it says it's up to date. I have a r800at as well.

Hello,
Have you uninstalled or frozen any system apps? If so, SE will not let you download any updates. You must restore them for it to work. Either that, or they took the update down. I don't see why they would do that though...
I got the same message yesterday as Black_reign32. I went into the "about phone" section under settings and clicked "check for updates" and it didn't find anything. Now, this could be due to the fact that I am using my r800at on t-mobile. I don't have root, so I haven't frozen any system apps, but I have uninstalled a couple of the apps that came pre-loaded that I didn't want, mainly the att specific ones.
US sexplay owners get the shaft. I have the R800X on Verizon and we're stuck on 2.3.3 as well. You don't realize how far you're left behind until you see that all the goodies (Snapdragon Game Command, PlayStation Store, etc.) Can only be had on devices that have 2.3.4.
I don't want to root, but I don't think I can hold out until next May to get official ICS.
Does, the R800AT have PlayStation pocket?

Well, the deal with ICS is that Sony is releasing it, just like they released 2.3.4. This doesn't mean that AT&T or Verizon will release ICS for our phone. I would recommend either the Sony 2.3.4 signed ROM or the wotanserver.com one. From my understanding, they are the same thing. I'm using the one from wotanserver on my r800at and it's working great! PlayStation Pocket, 2.3.4, the Gamepad works great and no AT&T bloatware. I only root mine to move the big apps off of the internal memory that won't allow it otherwise.

SE said that they're bringing ICS to Verizon and AT&T Xplays by mid-May. Yes the update is coming from SE, but Verizon and AT&T must "approve" it (translation: add their bloatware and shovelware).

Actually you can if you mean the generic north American rom. Its signed so you can install it just fine. That's what I did. I have an AT&T r800at and got rid of the stock firmware and went with the generic. No bloatware for me plus 2.3.4
Sent from my R800a using Tapatalk
So, how did you upgrade? Just download the signed rom and install it through the PC Companion software? Did this wipe your phone/data, or did it preserve it like an OTA would? Also, did it change your R800AT to an R800i or a, similar to how installing certain roms change that? Sorry for all the questions and thanks!

Used flashtool to flash the file once downloaded to my PC. Yes it wiped the phone clean so backup anything you need before you flash. I backed up the stock games from the at&t version cause they are different on the generic rom. It changed my model to a r800a from r800at. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Sent from my R800a using Tapatalk
How did you back up the games? I assume this process applies to other games that I have purchased/downloaded. Is this the DRM stuff I have heard people talk about?
Do you think changing to an r800a would effect anything important? I am using the play on T-mobile now. I wouldn't think so.
Also, I am assuming this would prevent any OTA to ICS. But, on the same hand, I guess I can always download the signed ROM and re-flash it just like this one.
Do you need root for any of this? I don't currently have root.
Thanks again!

Do you still have HSPA+ support on your phone after shifting from r800at to r800a firmware? And even if the H+ doesn't show up at the top, did your data speeds change at all?
is the 2.3.4 generic rootable? if so ill have no problem restoring **** cuz i use titanium backup
Backedup the stock games by rooting then moving the apk from system/app to the SD card. Once I flashed to generic I reinstalled it using that apk. Use the set InstallLocaton trick to clear up internal space.
You can still root the generic with zerg.
I still get the H+ and didn't notice any change in speeds. Still as fast as with stock.

You still get the "H" logo but, if you look closely, the "+" is gone. I'm told that it's still H+ regardless.
whats the process of getting 2.3.4 on the AT&T Play?

Hello,
I recently tried to update my Xperia ZL L35H (purchased in China) to the latest 10.3.A.0.423 firmware. I chose the C6502 variant because it seemed that this was the same model with some regional variations. All worked well, until I tested the mobile data connection, which was non-existent. Considering that both L35H and C6502 both use HSPA, this incompatibility with the C6502 firmware was surprising. I even used the AOKP ROM for awhile and had no issues with data connectivity.
What's worse, I had my CWM backups on internal storage. My bad, I know. Updating to the 10.3.A.0.423 erased my internal storage, so, no more stock firmware backups.
I would be most grateful if some one could help me either:
*Help me find a L35H firmware, or
*Help me troubleshoot the data connection on the C6502 10.3.A.0.423 firmware.
L35h
Glad to see someone else has the L35h. I'm afraid I can't help you with your problem, but I was wondering if you were able to root it, and how?
I rooted mine with Bin4ry's script, but then made the mistake of upgrading, not knowing that it would remove the root. (I'm completely new to Android and had no idea that the phone would come with a bastardized version of Android that doesn't even allow a Google account to be on it, without rooting.) Now I'm on 10.1.1.A.1.253, but none of the rooting scripts will root it now.
I rooted the 253 using :
http://www.droidkube.com/how-to-root-sony-xperia-zl-and-install-cwm-recovery/
Then lost root after updating to 10.3.A.0.423. I rooted that using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43288981
Thanks, I might have to do it this way ultimately. I'm afraid of destroying my phone completely, but maybe it's the only way I'll be able to do it.

Maybe you could help me out here. What 253 variant did you use? Does everything work on it? What shows for "Model Number" under "About Phone" in settings? Could you post a download link for me?
I got it to work. I'm currently using the C6503, but the C6502 might have worked as well.
The key in to go into Settings/Xperia and click on "Internet settings". Afetr a brief download, my 3G data was back!
Everything appears to be working fine! No more L35H!

Where did you get the 10.3.A.0.423 firmware? I've decided I'm going to use Flashtool and just go for it. Would be nice to say zaijian to L35h.

Instructions here
Downloads here
You have to register and log in to activate the download link on the xperiablog page. Both the C6503 and the C6502 worked for me. Supposedly, the C6503 adds LTE support, but I don't know if there's a hardware difference to reflect that. I've been using this firmmware for a week now, and it's been flawless.
Also, check out Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit (for root) and XZDualRecovery (for CWM and TWRP) here on XDA, both of which work flawlessly on this firmware as tested on my device.
Check out my post on this page if you're disappointed with the stock sound volume limitation.

I'd go with whichever one matches where you're at. I'd have to look it up to know for sure. Both the Indonesia and the MEA (Middle East?) ones worked on mine, and I'm in China. Some locations use the same bands, others don't. I'm no expert in how that works. I might be wrong here, but I think the Settings/Xperia/Internet Settings auto-patch takes care of that for you. My 3G (or any data connection) didn't work until I took care of that.

It worked! Took a while to figure out the drivers and stuff, but it flashed easily and now I have a non-bastardized, non-Chinese phone. Seems to run faster and smoother too. Great to say goodbye to the L35h and hello to the C6502!

Haven't noticed any problem like that. Or any real problems. Maybe the notification/SMS sounds are a bit wonky, but nothing that's really bothered me or is especially noticeable. Am still getting notices about how "this version of Android doesn't allow in-app payments" or something like that. I expected those to go away. But maybe it's just because I'm in China with a China Mobile SIM.
Hi Guys! I too brought sony xperia L35H from china....and would like to flash the MEA C6503 version. I installed the flash tool and made the FTF file ready. while just to make sure everything is alright i connected my phone and opened the flash tool. It says "device connected with USB debugging off", although i have enabled usb debugging in my phone. Do i have to install the adb as well or am i missing something. Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks
EDIT- SOLVED
I've just bought a G3 D855 and it doesn't appear to recognize any SD card's that I insert. Don't know whether there is a knack to plugging it in but I've tried 2 now, including a brand new one. It's just not showing up in the storage as the options to mount/unmount are greyed out. Any ideas how to resolve this ?
Kind Regards

One of the cards came straight from my Z1, which worked fine. The other card is brand new, never been used.
When I received the phone yesterday it was rooted. I've now installed a stock ROM which should be a UK version. Do you, by any chance, have the link to the UK version for the 3 network, if there is one.

Get the one called UK16G D85510A unless you have the 32GB model and also format the SDcards to Fat32 before putting them into the phone!
Format the card to Fat32. Best compatibility by far (but max filesize of course will be <4GB).

I got it through the updater of the phone(ota). I'm on ROW.
Fingerprint reader seems faster.

Generally comparing MM vs Nougat I also think that the fingerprint sensor is way faster on 7.0

At dialer press "*#*#4636#*#*" then phone information and press top right three dots. There is an option for area band. Choose your area.
I did that, but the only option I have is for USA.... I'm in the UK.
Any thoughts?
