[Q] tft file for 2.3.3 R800x

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.

[Q] downgrade From 2.3.4 to 2.3.2

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.

Could someone post a 2.3.2 Eroupean ftf file?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium

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.

Return Xperia play to Stock with PC Companion?

I currently have DoomKernel v03 and the Mark Phyton ICS ROM installed on my phone with -56 baseband (Android version 4.0.4)
If I repair the phone via PC Companion will it return me to 2.3.4? b/c I'm pretty bored of this ROM now and I want to go back to normal again c:
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks

Google it, i remember saw it in one forum/blog out there when i lookin for .57 stock for my R800x
And the link is alive there

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

[Q] [Help] Rom Forced Reset

Hi all this is my first post.
Yesterday I flashed a rom (can't remember the Name) and my phone got stuck on the Sony Ericsson screen. From Flashtool I re-Flashed The stock kernel and my phone worked again, only my phone was unrooted, all my apps were gone and it wouldn't load cwm recovery, which has a backup of my phone before with all my apps, contacts and stuff. it also has nxtBeAn rom on the SD card that I installed and disliked.
Please help me to somehow root my phone again (DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su failed to root it and so did Gingerbreak V4) so I can get all my contacts, messages, apps and passwords back.
Thanks

Root Sort of Fails

Hi,
So for the past 2 month, I've been trying to root my r800at, but it installs superusers but it doesn't function. I can't remove the semi root, but I need to get a root. I've tried the superuser fixer, but it says everything is normal. The Root Checker app says no root and so does ROM Manager, which in this case is a dire app.
PLS HELP!

Pls don't keep creating new thread. U already got a few. So just wait or google ur answer. U're gonna piss off the mod if u keep this up. Meh...
Regards,
Sdojoin

Stating which fw you are running would be helpful.
But seriously, search.

Flash a 2.3.4 ftf through flash tools

Yeah att is stuck on 2.3.3. Fw 285 which is not rootable.
U need flashtool and 2.3.4. Fw preferably 42 or 58.
62 and 69 are not rootable yet (except of course for unlocked bootloaders that can flash a custom kernel.)

Do you have the xperia play drivers installed for flashtool to recognize your play? I think your installing the wrong ftf file. There are multiple ftf files for r800x, r800at, r800i, r800a and yes they are all different but not interchangable. You have to find the right one.

There is no 2.3.4 R800at ftf. R800a and r800i will work for u. Not r800x.
Captain67 has a thread in development with a bunch of ftf. Just search for it.
EDIT: remember to update flashtool.
Latest version is 9.8 I think?
If all else fails, consider visiting wotan server. They'll flash your phone for like €2.
