[Q] Firmware to play PSX games

Hi guys,
My Play is on the latest firmware and so I can't buy the PSX certified games anymore (they fixed the exploit) so I want to downgrade or install a CFW but what can I use that will still allow me to use the PSX games?

Erm... You can buy the games from the PS store. What you can not do is fool the system and playing your own ISOs as bought games anymore

I downloaded the ISO's from Mobilism so I guess that is the same but what Im asking is, what firmware do I need to go back to, to play them? Also, do any of the CFW's on here allow you to play those ISO's?

SCRAP THIS COMMENT!
Cool. What version is that? Because you have all the different version numbers that Sony use.
Got the tft downloaded now!
Are there any CFW's that you know of that I could use? Been thinking of dabbling now I've actually unlocked the bootloader, but obv want to play PSX games on it

You'll want to flash 4.0.A.2.368 for whatever country/area (NA/UK/NORDIC) I think any will work fine I'm running Nordic on my AT&T XP. I personally run Zero's Rom, it's got some ram optimization and other scripts built in with almost no bloat and has been 100% stable for over a month (Besides reboots due to UV testing ect. not related to the rom itself). The rom is really personal choice, the only reason why I tried Zero's was because all the rest seemed to be just debloated stock firmware with a theme so it's whatever you like just make sure the base of the rom is 4.0.A.2.368 before you flash.

Hey, I've flashed Doom Kernel and can't get it into recovery (don't know how) and my USB doesn't connect to the computer, I can't go into mass storage!

To get into dooms kernel press the volume down button like crazy when you boot the phone. You can also run an exe while in fastboot mode to boot into recovery.

Hi, I've resolved the issues I was having before by installing the latest Doomkernal but I still can't seem to get into CWM. Do you know where that exe is please? I've searched but can't find it.

Ok I've tried to boot into CWM via Flashtool and it's not playing ball, although it doesn't show the Play as a device, I've been using the X10 as a device ID.

You could always buy FPSE, its just as good but you cant use the analog pads.

If you've flashed the latest doom kernel you dont press volume anymore it's back, and only when the blue led shows at the top

Just make OTA update if your bootloader is locked.

Hi

Yes. What kernel you got to lose that you worry about? Root, yes, you lose.
SEUS is Sony Ericsson Update Service with old name, SUS(Sony Update Service) is new name.

Hello everyone!
I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) phone with rooted 4.1.B.0.431 firmware.
Last night i tried the OTA (Over the air) update, so my superuser permissions will not be lost.
So my phone downloads the update, restarts and proceeds through the 2 out of 4 steps of the update(box + up arrow image on screen). On the 3rd step(down arrow image on screen) there is a bit loading on the bar and then my phone restarts normally.
After the restart I get the message "Could not install update software. Try again." (or smthing similar)
Any ideas???

I tried this on my dad's Ray. OTA update failed multiple times, until he updated it with PC Companion. Root was lost, ofcourse, but then I just flashed the old kernel, rooted with suitable exploit and flashed the latest kernel again. Nothing was lost on the phone (few apps got installed again, like wisepilot, facebook, facebook inside xperia and some carriers bloatware - took me 10 minutes to remove all that junk).

Some bugs fixed, generally faster, battery lasts longer.

The OTA update fails because of the root, most likely cause you moved from the system some app that's necessary.

Most probably yes, because I also get an error when trying to flash with Flashtool . . .
So do I flash back to .431? hmmm...

SOLVED: LT26i original boot.img (bricked by reflashing bootloader)

Hi guys,
well,i did something really stupid.
I was installing Cyanogenmod 9.1 to a friends phone,after i flashed the new bootloader i realised i wasn't able to insert the sdcard containing the CM9.1 rom,it has no sd-slot...
So now the phone doesn't boot anymore,except for fastboot and CWM,since i have no idea how to get the CM image to the internal storage i'm requesting the original boot.img so i can flash it back to the phone and transfer the CM image to internal storage.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: ADB is also working but i can't push CM to internal storage because it's read-only.
Edit2: I solved it,eventually...
Greetz

How did you solved it, i have the sme problem here

Use ADB to push the rom to internal storage and use CWM to install the rom.

And how do i do that?
Can you help a little bit.

An easier solution would be to mount USB storage from CWM then transfer the files from your PC :good:

As a last resort don't forget you can always use Sony's repair/update software to restore the phone and start again This has saved me a couple of times

Dude, or, anyone.. I've tried Linux x64 and Windows x86 and I can't get the phone (LT26i) )to show up on my PC while it's in CWM: what am I not doing?
By the by - it's bootlooping: It had the orignal OS, then CM10.1 nightly, which was fine but my mate didn't like it..
flashtool let me put an official ICS back on board, then tried a different CM10.1 nightly, it had a few bugs of course,
so I went into CM settings/system/whatevers, searched for stable updates, and chose 9.1, dl'd and installed from the menu right there.. boot first boot got to like 30 mins so I killed it and did a restore (this may have been stupid). Which didnt work.
So I tried using Flashtool (9.0.0) to reinstall the official ICS.. and it fails. Flashtool gets as far as flashing the kernel and then it bails out.
So now, I don't have a ROM to go into to select any options or anything, or to be able to get it to show on my PC. If I can get it to show in CWM, I can sort this mess out.
Also, I have tried the 'mount USB storage' option in CWM. And I've tried mounting and unmounting stuff in CWM. Nada.
Please help!

[Q] Sony xperia M CM11 imei unknown baseband unknown

hello ,
today i unlocked my bootloader got cwm and flashed CM11 but after this al was done i had 2 major problems. I have a xperia M c1905
1. when i first booted he didnt ask for my PIN to unlock my SIM and i had no service and i cant call or sent any sms , so i start searching for apps that could cause it but i could'nt find anything so i looked in setting and then i found that my imei is unknown and my baseband also
2. when my phone gets in stand-by i cant unlock my screen unless i pull my battery
EDIT: i think ive solved the 2nd problem i changed the way to unlock
is there anything i can do?
greets

Try flashing the stock firmware again and see if everything works again. If it does, flash cm again and see if there r any changes. If flashing stock firmware doesn't helo, then you probably messed up somewhere really bad in unlocking or flashing. In that case, i think itsvpermanent. Im not an expert at all in this matter but i wanted to help a brother out. Good luck

To get the firmware here is the link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7wdGoA4WPZAY01EMG0xX1RSWmM/preview?pli=1
To install it on your phone this is what you need to do:
Download the required ftf, for u, its the 4.1.2 ftf. Place it in the firmware folder in the flashtool folders. Open flashtool. Click the lighting icon. Flashmode. Click on the firmware u want to flash. Press flash. Wait a while, while it prepares files. When it asks you to, turn off ur phone, press and hold the vol. Down button and insert the usb which is attached to the computer at the other end. Let it flash. When done, remove usb. Reboot phone.
Hope this helped:beer::screwy::beer::screwy:

There are a lot of improvements in that version. You can update if You are only rooted and are on stock ROM. Yes, You will loose the Superuser, but You can always root again.
