Install PC Companion, do NOT connect the phone and run the program.
Click on Support Zone > Start > Repair. Now just follow the instructions. Fingers crossed.

Unless you are a Verizon Play owner - we can't use the PC Companion. In that case, you might try using either the WotanClient or the Flashtool option and the proper FTF file. You can find both of those solutions in the Dev section.
Good luck, Brother.

Extracted = installed? Cuz you need to install them on your pc.
Some people have had issues connecting in MTP mode. If you have installed the drivers then try to unmount the sdcard prior to connecting the phone to your pc.

Sorry man now it recognized like a camera dammm android drivers. Any suggestions?
@fast_forious69 i just reread your first post. If you just want root then you should use flashtool to flash the UK generic .184 FW. Then root with gingerbreak and then without doing anything else update OTA to the newest 4.0.A.2.368 (2.3.3). The only way to preserve root when updating is OTA.
Further more you won't be able to root the new firmware if you upgrade without doing the above, unless you also unlock you bootloader. If you just want root there's no need for that imo. You can can always unlock later if you want to do other mods like custom Rom/kernel etc.
Anyway download flashtool and extract it to your desktop. Then install the drivers that comes with the tool (ggsetup.exe). Then download the UK generic .184 FW, extract it and put it in the firmware folder that came with flashtool. Hit x10FlashTool.exe. In the window that opens press flash and choose your FW and then tick 'wipe data' and then ok and just follow the instructions. This will wipe all userdata on the phone apps, bookmarks, sms, saved games states etc.
If you're already on .145 or .184 (2.3.2) then just download gingerbreak and root and then strait after boot update OTA. (I take that you bootloader is locked otherwise don't do any official updates hence it will brick your phone).

Lol then it must be me. Well I'm a guy aswell...
Anyway mate you'll end up with the newest FW update if you follow my guide above (xLoud, themes etc. You won't loose warrenty for using flashtool on the other hand afaik you will when rooting or unlocking bootloader. That can be ereased by unrooting and locking again. Then nobody should know. Atleast i got my device serviced under warrenty that way
Either way you're welcome and you choose what you'll do. If you can't make pc companion work then you'll have the flashtool way to do it...
Regards Dousan...
Hi mate Dousan, i've read your advice but not sure if i'll try to do it the phone is about one month, i've try the firmware way with Pc compainon it says my phone is with the latest update firmware ?!?!?! 2.3.3 wich i confirm in the menu of the Xperia now i'm in a dilema if is really necessary to flash it with the tools you recomend and loose my info contacts, etc... because i cant update the damn phone with sony ericsson OTA backup ! it only backup the bookmarks !!! don't backup my contacts calendar etc.
i've even reinstall Windows XP nothing now is a digital camera (MTP mode) only works acess the phone in MSC mode so only acess the SD card, a bit weird this android phone i've talk with some other guys in another foruns they say windows 7 it's better but my money now is not enough to buy a new pc, just don't no what to do .... maybe take the mobile to the store a see what's better.
by the way is the new things good Xloud new themes etc. ?
thx mate
The xloud is cool, the speakers are nice, loud and crisp now. Good sound. About the themes.. Meh, I only se the background change really, it's not like cm7 theme chooser nor the one I know from HTC. There's some other stuff too, apps and small tweaks. Haven't really gone through the phone and compared.
Well the work lies in flashing with flashtool, then root and then OTA. For me it's no biggie, but then again I've flashed my phones for the last three years now and things has been more complex than this and also easier. All is relative and what is easy for me could be difficult for and vice versa
If you don't feel comfy about doing it then don't. Take it to a certified SE shop and let them do it for you.

I've tried searching, but does anyone have a link to the "original" LT18i 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware? I've updated from it OTA and am now stuck un-rooted with a load of Vodafone bloatware.
Failing that, any consensus as to what is a good alternate ROM that everything (wifi, bt, camera, google apps, data etc) works. Thank you

Hello everyone , I'm a stupid Noob.
Today I was just trying some new ROMs for my Xperia Play; once I tried the 2.3.3 UK Generic and I forgetted to don't do the OTA, so now I have my xperia play bricked, when I try to turn it on it just vibrate, when I try to connect it to the pc it connect directly in flash mode ( Without pressing back button). Please everyone help me!!
P.s. I did try to look on this forum for some solution before writing this, and i found out some thread but all the downloads link were broken.
I would appriciate any help from you guy!!:good:

Have you tried using flashtool to flash a complete FTF?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399&highlight=ftf Here's a collection of ROM's try flashing the R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic UK one through flashtool
You have damaged your phones trim area and well your kinda screwed if you don't want to pay to have it repaired cuz you need a bunch of hardware to repair it.....so best bet contact allejandrissimo or Wotan server and schedule a repair
Unless flash mode works then just flash a ftf

Go to general section and find the FOTA UNBRICK TOOL. It is a .ftf file to be flashed with flashtool..
soybi
Here are the links for stock ftf: http://www.xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/234-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
I just checked them, all of them are working.

Or you can just relock the bootloader, by flashing the this ftf (just like any ftf): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aaoowcnj780hpto

Don't panic, kies just sucks. Use odin to repair Your phone, best if You change Your ROM too as rooting isn't enough anymore (knox is there).

My Moto Z Play it not working after i update Android 7.0.0 can't turn on
it's black screen
can you further explain whats going on?
press and hold the power button for 10 seconds so that it turns off (if its on)
when you turn on the device, do you hear any sounds?
does it vibrate when you press the finger print sensor?
it there a 'lock' sound when you press the lock button?
by pressing anywhere on the screen, can you guess if the touch is working? (vibration)
did you try getting into bootloader or recovery?
Did you downgrade to Marshmallow at any point?
when i connect with USB to PC on my pc, i hear device connect sound but nothing new Drive show on my computer
and i try all button command it not working
but LED Light is showing when i connect to USB and Charger
.
.
this i do on my Moto Z Play before Black Screen
Android 7.0 -> Update to Android 7.1.1 -> Unlock Bootloader -> Install TWRP -> Bootloop after install TWRP -> Flash Rom back to Android 6.0.1 -> Update to 7.0 Downloaded and Install Step i Get Black Screen
So you did downgrade to mm and then accepted update... Looks like hard brick.

Welcome to the darkside my friend, or as I call it the "we should have read all threads that specifically said don't downgrade to OTA because you WILL hard brick your phone" cause now you basically have a paperweight. don't take my words personally a lot of us are in the same boat. Just have to wait to see if a new blank flash file surfaces to hopefully get you to boot loader. :crying:
today i'm go to Motorola customer center they repairing and tomorrow they call to me tell what problem on my phone and if change new mainboard i'm must pay 300$ + (in thailand is 10,000฿ +)

Don't do it! Get the blank flash from the unbricking thread here. Use the G5 blank flash.
Only thing is, If you had 7.1.1 in order to get out for fastboot we are waiting for a new bootloader. Just need the 7.1.1 or higher then we are back in business.

If you get it going let me know what you did. I cannot pass fastboot because I had the 7.1.1 bootloader. Since there is no 7.1.1 bootloader available in .img I am stuck until we get one or an updated one.
Now i can use my Moto Z Play on Android 7.1.1 Thanks everyone for help
