[Q] Question, rooting Xperia Play to latest - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anybody provide a link for a tool to root the xperia as I want the latest update. Thank you.

I -think- SuperOneClick works. It's somewhere in these forums, google will show you the way.

Rooting and updating are not connected processes.

IMO use doomlords one click root a lot faster

No, I would like the root tool for the latest version (4.0)

What the hell are you on about?

This makes no sense at all rooting has nothing to do with updates and we don't have 4.0

you wont be able to update just the sense part of your 2.3.4. you will need to download a custom ROM that has sense 3.0 or higher already built into it.
then will i have to re-root? Do you know of such a rom?

you wont loose root because you will flash the rom in recovery. just keep an eye on the development section

2.3.4 is rootable as long as you were s-off before you installed it.

[Q] How do I update?

How do I update to 2.3.7? I get the notification but everytime I try and update it reboots to CWM and aborts.
Bump.

Latest update for us is 2.3.5
You can get 2.3.7 by flashing some custom rom, such as cm7.

Then that's what I need I assumed it was 2.3.7 because of custom roms. Still my question remains... How do I update...

I said this after someone told me what you just said... This thread doesn't even have 2 pages of posts and you can't read 2 replies before....
Regardless, I want to know how to flash an update. Would I have to uninstall CWM and install the update that way then reinstall CWM, or is there a way that is easier?
For official updates you need stock HTC recovery. That's why it boots to cwm and aborts. Try the unroot tool by rezo. It installs stock recovery for you. You can't be rooted too, I've heard. So use that tool and all should be fine.

It's can't be in order to root follow the unbricking guide found in this forum. It will install a Korean rom which can be rooted then you can go from there and install any P930 compatible rom.

Read the guide at least once or twice before actually doing it. It looks daunting but it's actually quite simple.

If you can get it into fastboot, this can be fixed without unlocking the BL. Go through this post and find one that is for GB 2.3.3 and flash it. Next you need to flash the GB 2.3.3 ROM back onto the device. I will continue to search for the stock 2.3.3 ROM on the interwebz
Did this ever get fixed?
