I'm currently on cyan with cyan boot image I'm wanting to go back to stock so that I can upgrade to 2.3.4 I'm just wondering how do I do it what and software do I need? I have got a unlocked bootloader with a nandroid backup of uk stock 368, hope someone can guide me and do you think it is worth it or would you just wait for a cooked rom with 2.3.4?
Ooops just noticed I've posted in wrong thread sorry guys

I used the file from Wes in the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507
Much easier, just put the ESPRIMG.zip onto the root of the SD, reboot into hboot and follow the on-screen instructions.
the file from wes is not being hosted on the website can you upoload please i have to send my mytouch back also
All you have to do is flash the OTA CR posted(not the rooted ver) that will unroot you. plus give you the newer update....No need for that ESP image nonsense.

If you have bootloader locked you will need to down grade your firmware to build 42 do this download program called flashtools available on xda.
Download from xda the .42 file use flashtools to load on to phone.
Then root with either zergrush method or from flashtools.
Once rooted use ota to update to latest build 62
if bootloader is unlocked then do as described in previous posts.
All software and tools are available in general or q&a sections.

Okay, so I updated my xperia play to 2.3.4 through flashing, so I don't have root anymore. Does anybody know of a way for me to gain root on it, without flashing back to 2.3.3? I also have the bootloader unlocked on my phone. Model number is R800x.

Darn, that doesnt work. I want the functions of 2.3.4 but the freedom of 2.3.3 root. Could I downgrade to 2.3.3, root it then go to flash 2.3.4?
Maybe. You should repost this in Q&A, this is General.

Lookup the voodoo root keeper(or something like tthat) in google play.
Downgrade to 2.3.3, root, then use the voodoo app to backup the root and upgrade to.2.3.4, why ypu would go to 2.3.4 on verizon is beyond me, the update sucks imo.

Downgrade to 2.3.3, then root. DO NOT UPDATE TO 2.3.4. It is a flawed system update from verizon, but if you seriously want 2.3.4 then download the ftf and flash it
Thanks guys. Imma try this voodoo root now. I really dont care about the 2.3.4 update, I just want some of the features it has to offer like screen shot and 720p recording. Anybody knows any roms thats cool?

1. pay $25 to unlock your bootloader.
2. Navigate to the xperia play development section. Look for fxp cm 7.2.0. Follow the directions.
Use the search option for more info. It's there for a reason.
Another thing I should mention is this isn't the Q&A section.

Yes I run cm7 most the time and cm9 at times, the post above mine is pretty accurate, although I do not use fxp's release for the X I use a modified version from the gsm release.

The fastest and best/easiest way to root any unlocked bootloader system 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 is by flashing Superuser in recovery :

Lol didn't think I was rude. I gave him the info he was looking for as well as a pointer for next time. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate the forums to be clean and posts to be in each appropriate section. It makes it a lot easier for all. Also he seems to be somewhat of a new member and might of not known the rules(based on his profile).But if I came off as rude I'm sorry.
I currently have the AT&T (r800at) version of the xperia play and unfortunately I updated it to the new 285 version so it won't let me root. Is there a way I can fix this and root. Also is there any good roms where I don't have to unlock the boot loader?
Bump. Can someone help me?
Did you try flashing back to 270? As far as I know you can't root on 285 so if you want root your stuck at 270.

Here is the latest AT&T version:

I had the same problem and was able to downgrade with flashtool and root after that. Well, at least my husband did it for me. I shouldn't take the credit.

Hey Guys,
As you can see the name of the title, I have a HOX and I relocked the Bootloader and ran the Stock RUU and after doing that did a complete OTA update from ICS to Jellybean.
NOW... All i want is to root my phone again so that i can use Apps like CoreControl, Addfree etc.
Please tell me if I can root my phone again and how?

well, i don't think there is a stock JB root, you can unlock the bootloader then flash recovery and then flash a custom rom ... remember to do a nandroid backup before doing this
Thanks bro. I was looking for this answer on google and no had seem to do this... Full OTA and then root.
I think I would wait until someone makes a root method for Stock JB (OTA) on HTC One X
It's exactly the same process as with ICS. What's the problem?

Yes and please do not forget to backup the original JB rom before you root and put a custom rom .... so you can go back to stock at any time, there is no RUU available yet to get it back to stock at the moment.
Edit : sorry i just saw that matt also gave the hint to back it up
Nandroid is ur best friend when coming to installing any ROM. Don't forget it. It'll save a lot of time if any problem is encountered.

To be honest if you look here in the Q&A part of the forum you will see at least 8 posts with exactly the same question !

How to find a ruu is for every cid number the same process ! And this process has been covered millions of times in the Q&A.there are also clear guides in the dev thread under stickies. It should be mandatory to read them before continuing.
Don't know what else to say about it !
