I flashed my Rogers Xperia Play 2.33 to the UK firmware 2.2 so I could get root.
Ever since doing so the get games app doesn't work properly. In fact Ever since I flashed my Rogers Xperia Play with the stock UK 2.33 firmware whenever I go to the get games app on my phone and try to download a game it just takes me to the developers website where it then says my phone model is not supported.
For example, in the Get games app, there is an icon that says "free EA Games," when I click on it it opens my browser and takes me to a blank page that just says "navigate, home,help,about."
the exact address is "vip.accumulate.se/gstore/eaoem/home.page?s=31"
So is the only solution flashing back to rogers 3.3? Just to get need for speed ****?

TL;DR version available at the bottom of the post.
Hello, I have a Sony Xperia Play model R800at from AT&T that originally ran 2.3.3 out of the box, and I read that you can root a Sony Xperia Play by flashing the firmware to 2.3.2 then rooting it and afterwards upgrading back to 2.3.3.
So here's the kicker, I mistakenly downloaded the 2.3.2 firmware for the Sony Xperia Arc, and my phone refused to boot after flashing. Next, I downloaded 2.3.2 firmware for Sony Xperia Play from here, and after flashing that my phone was able to boot but "android.process.media" is force closing every few seconds.
I gave up on trying to root my phone and just wanted to make my phone normal again so I went in search of my phone's original firmware in order to flash that in hopes of bringing the phone back to normal and stopping "android.process.media" from crashing so much. So after searching up and down and high and low for my original R800at 2.3.3 firmware from AT&T, I couldn't find it anywhere! Does anybody have it or does anybody know how to fix my phone?
TL;DR: Stupidly flashed wrong firmware, can't find right firmware to flash. Firmware I'm looking for: USA Sony Xperia Play model R800at Android version 2.3.3 from AT&T.
Just flash the north American 2.3.3. Its way better then the att version.

Can you please tell me where I may get that firmware from?
EDIT: Will it come with the bloatware that came with my phone? Because I got different bloatware when I flashed the generic UK firmware and believe it or not I miss my old bloatware.
Not much bloat really. It's in the development section I think.

Apparently my phone was still under warranty, so I sent it in and got a new one for free so everything is all fine and dandy now. Of course, I didn't tell them that my phone was acting up because I flashed the firmware.

Were you able to access 4G with Generic 2.3.3? (Did the "H+" appeared?)
hey guys, I put the generic version of N. A. firmware on my play (r800a-fw) but to be honest i kinda like the stock att firmware more (i know-i'm crazy). I was sure i would like the generic i did not back up my original firmware. So does anyone have or know where i can get the stock at&t 2.3.3 firmware??????
thanks in advance for any help leading to a solution
Pretty sure there's no FTF of it yet. Since you didn't back it up, you'll just have to wait I guess
R800a is exactly the same as r800at except the bloatware you can download off the market, minecraft you'll have to buy now, and that stupid H+ symbol is now H but the speeds are still the same . Now you can tether and mobile hotspot with the r800a, something att blocked.

Hi.
I just received my Xperia play and it seems that I got an unbranded European version (r800i) since it just says Xperia Play on the box and the box has french, dutch and other european languages. I'm currently located in the Philippines and the OTA does not work at all. I just get unable to connect even if I am able to browse using the browser through WIFI (no sim is installed).
Can anyone link me to the 2.3.3 firmware + flashtool version to use? I've just rooted my phone with gingerbreak only. I've checked the other tutorials and they all say OTA, which totally does not work for me.
Thanks!
Edit:
Ok, I've installed the application that sort of gets installed and I'm updating to 4.0.A.2.368. I think this is 2.3.3.
PC Companion or flash 2.3.3, I have an unbranded r800i but ota update works for me, Did have problems with it saying No Network found a few weeks back, but a few battery pulls fixed that for me.
ok so i got an xperia play (verizon) that is not currently hooked up to their network as i already have us cellular. anyways i downgraded to 2.3.3 to root the phone and now that thats done i want to put it back to 2.3.4 and keep the root but it says i have to be hooked up to a mobile network to do that. is there any way to get around it and update the phone again so i get the new features or am i stuck?
Hi its been a while. I'm wanting to part with my Tab S T-705 tablet. It was previously unlocked (to support any sim) and rooted. About 1-2 year ago I had difficulty but managed to re flash the tablet to run on a stock FW 6.0.1. As I'm selling it to an electrical exchange shop they run tests in order to pass it as a working trade in.
In its current state, it can be rebooted on its current fw. It functions like a stock tab s, access to play store, internet access etc. However tried to search for a new update as its been a while and got a message saying the following: (please see attachments for screenshots)
Why does it think a stock fw had been modified and how can I get stock fw to run on it so that it can search for updates and work as a stock tab s would?
Thanks
