OK, what I'm dealing with is an Xperia Play on 2.3.2 that has been flashed to the Cricket network. Now because of that, I can't get the official 2.3.3 update from Verizon. I noticed that Doomlords 1 click root doesn't work on this version of the play. I was wondering if there is ANY way to manually download the update to 2.3.3 without having to root? If I do need to root, what is the best method for my phone and what will I need to do to get it to 2.3.3?
Thanks in advanced for the help and the flames
What model is your phone? R800x, R800a...?
You should be able to just flash new firmware without root with "flashtool" because that's what I did with my R800i when I bought it. You just need to find the right firmware for your phone model (look in the development forum).
It's 2.3.4 that you want. Much better than 2.3.3.

Just sent you a pm regarding root

Yeah sorry, I should have been more informative on my phone. It is the 800x from Verizon but was never activated on the network. I bought it brand new and had it flashed to Cricket right then and there.
And thank you Pax for the PM, I will get to it tomorrow, just got off work and very tired lol.

If you want 2.3.3, your kinda out on the cold, unfortunately there isn't a working copy of it available for a non-verizon/non-bootloader unlocked r800x... I can help you with root, but that's it...
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Well, as far as I know it still has the Verizon firmware on it since it still tries to connect to the verizon app store all the time. If all I need to do to get 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 is unlock the bootloader and root, I think I can do that with the normal 800x way unless there is an update to all of that to make it simpler.
Just be careful with what you try and read, alot...

Thank. Currently I'm looking at the guide that Bin4ry put up on rooting and unlocking the boot loader. Would that be the way to go?

Would it be possible to just flash it to 2.3.3 with flashtool without rooting?
(very sorry for all the noob questions. Only used to flashing the evo style phones and this seems like a whole new experience) I am currently trying to see if I can get the update from Verizon themselves but it's been sitting on the "checking for updates" screen for 30 min now. I know on Sprint, if you flash the phone to Cricket you can still get the Android update from their network, but it seems unlikely for Verizon. Essentially. what I want to do for now is just get the phone to 2.3.3 without rooting.
Verizon is a pain in the butt, if you do manage to get a download for it (not on your phone) please, find a way to upload it to mills in the dev section or anybody else working on a kernel for the R800x
---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------
I was wrong, wotanserver.com does not have the kernel, unfortunately they say they do, but the don't have it on their program
Should I even attempt flashtool? I have seen some posting where it will work, but others have said it doesn't recognize their phone.

OK good news. I was able to get it to 2.3.3 using SEUS. Saw that someone used it yesterday, and I can confirm that it is working. Took about 15 min total.
Hi all.
On Saturday night my Arc (debranded Rogers, locked BL, rooted with zergrush, running 2.3.4 on firmware .42) was running just fine. We were out at a friend's place and I was calling up photos, doing Web searches, no problem. Then yesterday when I turned the beast on it went into in a bootloop - SE logo, blank screen, SE logo, blank screen ...
I managed to boot into CWM to be able to turn it off, but that was as far as I got (and after a wasted afternoon trying to reflash I can't even get to CWM now).
PCC/SEUS are no help at all - after going through the 'Repair phone' process PCC says there's 'no software available for your phone yet'. I've tried reflashing generic f/ware with both Wotanserver and Flashtool 0.6.8.0; with Flashtool I get the same "Final data verification failed" error as reported recently here with an X10 after 99% complete. And this message from the bottom of the log makes me suspicious Flashtool wants me to change mode, which is just a little tricky when I can't start the phone:
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Current status is the phone boots to the SE logo, then displays an image of an exclamation mark over a phone - one of the least informative images I've seen, unless it represents a tombstone, which seems very possible! - then dies again.
I've looked at a couple of other XDA threads about bricks; the most promising-sounding one was talking about unlocked bootloaders, though, so I didn't try to flash the file they were talking about.
I might feel slightly better if I'd done something - anything! - like an OTA update or whatever to cause this, but all I did was turn the thing off for the night, as I always do.
Please, somebody: help!!
Thanks, in great anticipation.
Didcha tr y reflashing rom or kernel? Also factory reset might help.
Sent from LT18i @ Xda Premium
Thanks, ArmorD.
Just ROM - I can't do anything with the kernel with a locked bootloader, can I?
I'd try a factory reset if I could get into CWM, but I can't. I tried the reset method from here, but the phone still just goes to the SE logo, then the 'tombstone'.
Open to pretty much anything at this stage!
Well, what you can do is i think re-flash it with Update service, it might work than.
Here is the link to update service since you wont find it in SE website.

Bro, just reflash the system
I have just ended up with a boot loop on my arc.. I reflashed and it worked well!

Further news: trying to eliminate possible causes, I've had the SD card checked (by inserting it in another device). It's quite readable. I didn't really think this problem would have anything to do with the card, but it seemed worth trying.
Well, idk. Sorry bro! Try to flash stock firmware with flashtool! And it might work! Also bricked=phone is not turning on at all! Like u press the power button and nothing is happening. Cheer up man u finally gonna fix it. ;-)

i have encounter tha triangle with ! inside and a phone beside it, it happens when i tried flashing my phone using wotanserver,i want to root my phone and tried to downgrade to .42 taiwan ftf,but the file in wotanserver is maybe damage and did not finish flashing,then i got that "tombstone" icon.
what i did was flash it with uk tft .42,and it restored my arc s,after that i flash it again with .62 taiwan ftf since i live in taiwan, i dont know if this will work on your phone. or maybe you already tried doing it. i just want to share what i happen to encounter. hope you fix your phone.
Untouchable: thanks - I wish I shared your faith!
asderth8000: thanks also. I tried a different firmware version tonight (US generic; previously World; also tried Australian) but same result - Wotan dies with 'ERROR: File write failed' while writing userdata.s08. It feels like that's close to the end of the process, which suggests Wotan and Flashtool are both getting hung up at the same place. Screenshot of Wotan error atatched - hope it gives somebody some ideas.
I appreciate your help, people. Keep them thoughts coming!
lol bro stop using Wotan use Flashtool!!!!!!! lol my faith is beyond the limit. I have bricked & ubricked my cell a couple of times;-)

I got that same error using .42 Taiwan ftf, maybe try UK, it works fine with me although I don't live in UK.
I remember mine was on userdata.07 when an error occured,I thought at first that it was my connection then I tried doing it again and it failed, then I tried the UK version and it goes well. Save your apn settings too.

First, and most importantly: I have a phone again.
The eventual answer was this thread, suggested by sdk16420. I hadn't tried it before because it was talking about unlocked bootloaders, but I fired it up this morning and ... guess what? I've spent most of the day restoring things, but I'm pretty much there - even rooted again (lost that along the way). The phone says there's an OTA update for .62 ready, but that failed and PCC doesn't believe it exists. Ah well, there's always something ...
Secondly: huge thanks to the XDA community for your support and suggestions. You guys are OK!

slightly different similar problem:
LT18i, 2.3.4 build .62.. or it was!
Wares used: SE Bootloader Lock/Unlocker, Flashtool
Flashtool really should come with a lot more documentation and user guide: I'm a software person, but C++ is my confortable realm!
Managed to flash CWM on there and got it stuck in a bootloop of CWM (trying to install RootXperia.zip): tried many other images, the best I can get is a Sony Ericsson Logo looping.. I guess my SD card is okay.
Can't find an up to date, stock, 2.3.4 build .62 to repair my phone..
Help! A Walkthrough of my problem helps me rinse my degree and this equates to thanks and donations, I am a desperate man right now!
Please hassle me for info, help me help you help me!!

So maybe I'm not as good at this as I thought, but I unlocked my bootloader through the sony website a few days ago. The phone was working fine with 2.3.4 (from verizon). I tried to revert back to 2.3.3 with the (verizon) .ftf file. After flashing it with flashtool, my phone won't boot at all. There is no splash screen and holding down the power button makes it vibrate every 2 seconds. I am still able to reflash the 2.3.3 ftf, but after it completes its the same story. And of course using seus or PC companion says I have modified software and tells me to kick rocks. Perhaps someone smarter than me can help?
Well I'm confused already. The R800x bootloader cannot be unlocked via Sony's method.
Correct. And my play only has done the vibrete every two seconds because it over heated....so I doubt you have unlocked your bootloader and so after flashing 2.3.3 you bricked probably cuz the file you have is mislabled
Sent from my GBTweaked V7.1 R800x using Tapatalk 2
I should have been more specific. I unlocked the bootloader with flashtool's plugin. I acquired the unlock code from the sony website.
I still have the ability to connect in flash mode, but I guess an overheat is possible...
Again, my knowledge is probably more limited than it should be, but is there a way for me to re-flash the coding the bootloader contained?

Same Issue. Please help.
I now seem to be in the same situation. I unlocked my R800x via the official Sony method about two weeks ago and all was well. I've flashed custom kernels and ROMs and flashed the 2.3.3 ftf countless times. Today I decided to flash the ftf and run stock for a while as my battery life has become crap. It flashed no problem just as it always does, I activated the phone then stuck it in my pocket and went on with life. An hour or so later I take it out and push Home to wake it, but nothing happens. My first reaction is to pull the battery then turn it back on since that usually does the trick, but it vibrates as it normally does but nothing happens. So I flash the ftf again and still the same, I press Power and it vibrates but nothing, the screen just remains black. Since then I've trolled the forums and tried everything I could think of and everything that anyone suggested, but nothing has worked. I haven't tried relocking the bootloader, then flashing the ftf again because I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be more than willing to try it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I am totally lost at this point.I never imagined there would be a day that one of my precious androids wouldn't emerge from a stock firmware flash good as new.
EDIT: I flashed the Xperia BL Relock ftf in this tread then flashed the Verizon 2.3.3 ftf again and it worked! My PLAY has risen from the ashes once again.

I think they will reflash stock ROM without even looking at what you have installed. I had CM installed when I sent my bricked phone, I thought they won't repair it because warranty was void, but they didn't look, just replaced the chipset and flashed stock ROM.

oh then your warranty void now because you have cm10 installed so they ll know you rooted phone.where i live,htc service center valid warranty wheather my bootloader is locked,unlocked because they said sometimes when we replaced pcb,sometimes some pcb comes from different countries so they are factory locked or unlocked.but your stock rom and recovery is madatory.once i have same problem like you and i tried many times to unroot and getting back my stock rom but accidently i bricked my phone but i have stock rom and recovery so their replaced my pcb.
anyways now you ll probably get new pcb so stock rom is in it,but if you ll get your back with cm10 tell me i ll upload stock rom(flashable zip from cwm recovery).
I knew, that i wouldn't hide it from them but install of stock Rom would be some kind of proof, that this problem isn't software related and make sure they won't dismiss me.

Hello I really hope someone can help me.
My phone did the htc one x update (sense 5??) yesterday and i decided to wipe my phone to give it a fair chance to impress me.
as i was copying files over something got corrupt and i lost all my photos, i downloaded various apps to "undelete" but all needed root access.
I never wanted to root my phone but these photos are very important and can never be replaced now.
I used HTCDEV and unlocked the bootloder and the undelete apks still didnt work.
I followed instructions from some youtube video (i know .. like i say i know this is my fault) and then phone no longer boots
I can get into CWM etc and have installed 2 roms that i had downloaded from here and a nandbackup from here and still get same results - nothing
could someone please help me fix my phone (i have accepted i have now lost all my stuff)
thank you for your time and patience

so, my phone is rooted, has been for awhile. i attempted to install a version of cyanogen mod about half an hour ago using hte fastboot flash boot boot.img command.
it seemed to go fine
my phone can no longer boot past the htc screen. it appears to be trying to boot into recovery, but failing for some reason.
i tryed restoring my nandroid backup, no sd card detected. as anyone responding ot this will know, one x has no SD, but does have an internal SD partition. i couldn' even select my nandroid to restore it.
ive been searching for an HTC ruu to run without sucess, ruu's are only available for the US ATT model.
any help is welcome. thanks in advance.
@Wackywilly522 if you have the Rogers one x you are in the wrong forum, and anything you flash from this forum will damage your phone. You need to be in the Rogers, telstra, at&t forum. This is for the tegra 3 international one x

Thank you for peoples replies.
I understand that my data is 99% sure all gone , at present I just wish to get phone to actually boot.
I thought loading a new rom / nandbackup would have let it boot but I must have damaged something?
I am sorry for being a 'noob' when it comes to this but any help on steps to get the phone to actually be able to make a call would be most helpful.
Thank you once again for your help.

Hello I really hope someone can help me.
My phone did the htc one x update (sense 5??) yesterday and i decided to wipe my phone to give it a fair chance to impress me.
as i was copying files over something got corrupt and i lost all my photos, i downloaded various apps to "undelete" but all needed root access.
I never wanted to root my phone but these photos are very important and can never be replaced now.
I used HTCDEV and unlocked the bootloder and the undelete apks still didnt work.
I followed instructions from some youtube video (i know .. like i say i know this is my fault) and then phone no longer boots
I can get into CWM etc and have installed 2 roms that i had downloaded from here and a nandbackup from here and still get same results - nothing
could someone please help me fix my phone (i have accepted i have now lost all my stuff)
thank you for your time and patience
larry.

Hey Larry, I m sorry for the loss of your data. Happened to me too once. Can you plz explain in detail what you actually did? I would like to help you to at least get the phone working. I m on my mobile now. As soon as I can get a PC, I'll try to help you as best I can.

You were on stock Sense 5 4.2.2. So you are on HBOOT 1.72. When you unlock the bootloader and root the phone, the process wipes everything on your phone and your SD storage. So that's why you lost all the photos and everything. But if you have that data backed up somewhere on cloud, you can get it back.
Now as far as the phone not booting, you have CWM and you can get into it. Do you have superuser installed?
As you are on HBOOT 1.72, not every ROM can be flashed into your device now. Plz check the ROM if it can be installed on your device.
If it can be, a boot.img has to be flashed and then the zip can be flashed via CWM.

You lost your data is due to the fact that you unlocked your bootloader for the very first time. There is a prompt saying that you will lose all your data and advice you to back it up. Which probably you didnt that is why this results.
