Hello,
I am currently attempting to put my xperia play R800a into CWM Recovery. It is firmware 2.3.3 rooted and the bootloader has been unlocked remotely by Alejandrissimo. I have installed the most recent version of the android sdk, replaced the google usb drivers with the one given at the SE Bootloader unlock page, and placed the recovery image from the cwm thread into c/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools where the fastboot application is.
I then hold the search button with my phone off and when I connect it I get a blue led on the power button. I open up a command line in the platform-tools window and type in the command for CWM Recovery and the window just gets stuck on <Waiting for device>. I type the command for "fastboot devices" and it doesn't seem to recognize my device.
I searched around the forums and couldn't find anything so if anyone could please help me with this I would really appreciate it, thank you.

Hi.
Hoping someone can help.
Struggling a little to get my Play rooted (not new to Android but coming from a HTC Desire where everything is pretty much done for you with one click tools etc)
I have unlocked the bootloader (Jinx13) and sim unlocked (was 02 - now using t mobile sim).
After unlocking bootloader I accepted the 2.3.3 (UK) update using SE Companion Tool (was this a mistake?)
Now trying to install the FreeXperia Recovery. I have installed the Android SDK and I'm pretty sure the driver is right (sa0102adb). If I type command "ADB Devices" I get a serial number returned so I presume ADB recognises the Play. However when I type the command to load the recovery (as per ClockwordMod recovery thread) ADB states "waiting for device" and I can go no further.
Any help would be much appreciated.
will.
You need to do it with fastboot (hold search button and plug usb - blue light) not adb and you can't install/flash that image you need to boot it. If you flash it you'll brick your phone. Ohh you need to download fastboot package and set it up. Try to look in the 'how to unlock your bootloader' thread for download link and 'how to'.
The play doesn't got a recovery partiton and therefor you can't install it as the recovery is part of the boot.img afaik. It's not like HTC where you have your S-ON/OFF and engHboot and can install a custom recovery. So on the play you can only boot CWM and then flash .zip files from there or flash Doomlords kernel as CWM is embeded in the kernel (boot phone, spam volume up/down when you see the splashscreen).

Thanks
It was the ADB v Fastboot that confused me! I had downloaded Fastboot but had not installed the drivers for fastboot (only the ones for ADB). I now have a superuser app showing so all appears to be well!
Thanks very much.

Hi,
How to load bootloader using computer?
Tried installing Miui rom, but after the install I got stuck during the reboot on white screen with HTC green logo.
Need to go to 'bootloader' and then to 'recovery' to flash previously saved ROM.
Phone is fully rooted, S-OFF, but volume button doesn't work.
My computer can identify the phone, but I don't know how to use SDK program and comand lines.
Please help

Maybe there is hope since the computer can identify the phone! Try running
Code:
adb reboot recovery
from the command line.
over loyetryi
Thanks a million! I'm off the hook!
For others a step by step solution:
You need to:
- have a backup on your recovery.
- your phone must at least turn on.
- your computer must identify your phone as "Android device" when connected via usb cable.
What to do:
- Download SDK at developer.android com
- Unrar and execute SDK Manager
- In SDK Manager Install 'Android SDK Tools' and 'Android SDK Platform-tools'
This creates a folder named 'adb' usualy in your main computer disk. Mine was in location C:/adb
- start comand prompt. In Start, type cmd in the search field.
- connect phone to the pc
- in comand prompt type:
cd c:/adb
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
adb reboot recovery
- Your phone should load recovery. In recovery load your backup.
Good luck!
So basically i followed this guide - wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ace
Let's start from the first part wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ace
I plug in phone, i can see it in my PC as D drive but nothing more, after command "fastboot devices" i get 0 info - just like no devices were connected, but after i write "adb reboot-bootloader" my phone goes into this white screen. After this message about unrecognised device connected to USB appears. From now i can't use command "astboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img"
I also has question, what does command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" stands for? After writing this command i get info "waiting for device....".
I've also has question - why I unlock phone? What does it stands for? Does unlock means the same as rooting phone?
My System is Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Maybe i should install some HTC drivers or something like this? I installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled it, so just pure drivers should be left on PC but it still do not help me :/
USB debugging is on.
Fastboot issue on windows 8.1
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as you. I'm on windows 8.1 and am unable to use the fastboot command. Have you been able to find a solution to it? Or have you been able to root your mobile? The HTC Desire HD community here seems to be not very helpful since your thread is months old and nobody has cared to help you with it.

make sure you have a working usb cable
1) your phone must be unlocked to flash a new rom
2 )Our phones are locked by HTC to protect the phone from unwanted things
3) HTC official web site helps you to unlock your phone ,follow the instructions as they have mentioned,it is too easy
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
every thig is explained here
3) for root try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169515
4) download rom you want and copy it to sd card
shut down your phone ,push power+volume down button
on bootloader screen you must see UNLOCKED
choose fastboot
plug it to PC
you LL see fastboot Usb
On PC ,copy and paste the boot.img file of the rom to fast boot folder (it is in the nameofrom.zip )
open a command windows on this folder
write fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Enter
:good::good::good:here are the some links and videos to help you on flashing boot.img
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI
http://d-h.st/6LC
4) then go recovery on phone
wipe data factory cache dalvik cache and install zip from sd card
choose the rom
and restart your phone
5) identifier_token is kind a code which HTC sends you , it belongs your phone to unlock your phone
6) Root and Unlock are different things also there is another guy, it name is S-off
7) Windows 8 maybe will have problem , but windows 7 and windows xp are OK
8) make sure close antivrus and firewall
I hope these will help you
my device came with unlocked bootloader, so I tried to flash twrp but every time i type "fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img" and hit enter, the device seems to disconnect from pc and there is "press any key to reboot" in fastboot on my phone.
How can I solve this issue?`
Phone gets detected by adb/fastboot tool so its not a driver problem. I tried different cables and usb ports aswell.
Firmware is latest global stable.

Well if you already had adb in your pc, rename the twrp file to recovery, you don't have to move the twrp from download folder, open download folder press shift and right click then select open cmd here, on cmd type "adb device" to see if your device connected, then after that type this "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" press enter than after that type "fastboot boot recovery.img" TEAMWIN logo should appear on your device and then you can unplug your device. Hope this useful
i am trying to flash twrp there is no folder called adb i have installed the 15 second adb and all so i have got this minimal adb flashboot and i tried with that and got this ---- FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State). i have granted all usb and oem unlocking. please help with this
Phone shows unlocked during the boot?
I had the same Problem,after a Factory Reset works for me.
I am on Miglobe-Rom Miui10 8.6.28.
Minimal ADB is enough.
Or use this from Attachment.
Unpack with Win.zip and copy Twrp in this Folder.
Conect the Phone with your Pc ,boot into Bootloader and click "cmd-here.exe"
Use this Command
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-3-whyred.img
@Nazukii - Quick question - any chance you could try running GameBench on your device, and see if our background service dies when the device is disconnected from the PC? I don't have a Note 5 Pro to test, and I've got some user complaints. Any assistance would be awesome!

So my Bootloader is locked,
My phone stuck in MI recovery idk how.
I cant install MIUI via fastboot. Im stuck ..
Can anyone please help me here not sure how to proceed further.
If you have made sure that you have all the drivers installed and still have not solved, you need to use an Intel-based PC / notebook and use a usb 2.0.
