Hello,
Does anyone have the ftf file for the new update 2.3.3 on R800x Verizon?
Many thanks.
I think I saw one on the r800x state of development page, but I thought I saw on another post that the 2.3.3 Kernel is not included and the 2.3.3 is not anywhere to be found. You can flash the 2.3.3 ftf but you will still have 2.3.2 kernel I dont think wifi will work that way and emulators may play slow.

I'm searching for a full Verizon 2.3.3 ftf flash as well. So please post back if you see anything.
As far as I can see there is not a 2.3.3 full flash due to the way the 2.3.3 update is, the kernel in the update has not been easy for devs to obtain and its still something thats being working on.. getting the full 2.3.3. When its available u can bet ill be flashing asap!
So, is there any way to update it?
I can't use the 3G network because im not in US.
Many thanks man.
For an unlock bootloader r800x , the only way I have found to work is by re locking you bootloader and doing OTA update. I know you said you cant use 3g so Im not sure because I dont think wifi would download the update. Dont try the OTA if your bootloader is unlocked cuz your phone will brick, there is a fix for ota bricked phones though.
Until there is a full ftf heres what I did
I flashed Doomlords V4 kernel for 4.0.1.A.283 firmware, and then flashed the 2.3.3 system.img from the state of development page. Everything besides the back camera and wifi, those dont work. But the front camera works without error and the kernel runs 2ghz and its nice being able to doube cpu , FPSE is still perfectly smooth at 1024mhz which is nice because if you flash the same 2.3.3 system img youll still have 2.3.2 kernel and FPSE will run slow.
I would do something like this until an official 2.3.3 full flash is available. Seemed like the best route for stock, and you can theme the icons and status bar to something else to ditch the stock look
Good news for you all! R800x can update by SEUS and wotan client.

You can use wotanserver to get 2.3.3, just click advanced options and then choose kernel 3.0.1.E.0.88

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?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
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.

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.
So i'm currenrly on 2.3.3 uk generic, but I deleted some bloatware and now i can't ota...
So can i flash 2.3.4 uk via flashtool while retaining all mu data(just as if i did ota) and root?
If not please tell me which apps are mandatory so i can get them from a system dump... Btw I cant find the uk ftf file for 4.0.2

well just flash it manually with flashtool and tick the keep data option. they have a 2.3.4 ftf in the dev section.

also it is .62 rom but -64 baseband no .64 not to try and be a know it all but to correct u for future questions
u can only root the .62 rom with unlocked bootloader and doomlord kernel i believe.
u cud downgrade using FLASHTOOL even with a locked bootloader as long as it is signed i believe. or so i have been told although tbh i dont think that works
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

I suggest you .58 enhanced v2 over .62 bcoz it gives 420 mb data partition and easily rootable if you want to keep root.
