Witht he r800x, i dont think there is a stock recovery. It was designed to be used in conjection with a PC to repair/restore using the SEUS. (but i could be wrong)

Thank you no stock recovery sounds right now...

There is no stock recovery, but if your bootloadr is locked, you can still use CWM. Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771

There is no stock recovery that you can access from the phone itself.

Try downloading a different Rom? Or try using your ruu for your network and reroot etc, see if that works

It sound like you are not running a custom rom? If so, just try a factory reset first.

If you have fastboot files on your PC, try
'fastboot erase cache'
when your phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode.
Then, if you have CWM recovery installed, go there and wipe your dalvik cache under advanced menu.

Before you do any of this, read the info provided very carefully. There is always a chance to brick your phone. Some steps take more than a couple of seconds. So be patient.
EDIT: There is also this EasyFlash tool.
The .exe RUUs are coming up with unknown error

My apps such as facebook started to force close so i tried to reboot the phone and it bootlooped.
Did you installed some patches? Mods? Various (root needed) apps?

Can you get a fastboot shell? You will need to have it installed (its part of the android SDK)
Shutdown your phone, hold back and plugin the USB cable.
Light should change color and you should be able to use fastboot to query your phone (getvar version is the best simple test)
From here, flashtool will be able to communicate with your phone and you should be able to flash kernels, etc.
thanks for infomation

The same thing happened to me... Just flash the official RUU and see if it boots. If it does, just flash any ROM that you want.
As for the RUU, I flashed the global version.

Just flash it as you would any other ROM. (Do a FULL wipe and install the .zip + kernel)

He also said it was through recovery, recovery doesn't have access to the boot partition, therefore flashing a kernel through recovery won't work.

[Q] Bricked Xperia Play

Hi.
My friend has Xperia Play (R800i). I opened for him bootloader, and flash LuPuS_zeus_GingerBreadv12-ram.img, and one of the android 4 roms.
Everything was fine but he get new phone and decided to give this phone to his girlfriend, and ask me to flash some older rom (faster rom)
So I did..
But accidentally I flashed in simlock to the phone..
So I tried to flash it again. But this time I flashed accidentally X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf (I think this rom came to me with flashtool...)
And now phone is not responding at all. I cant go to flash or fastboot mode, It is not responding for power button.
I have no idea what to do.. Maybe You can help me .
Very sorry for my bad English.. I hope You understand my problem
Best regards
**Edit
Does anyone have any suggestions? Internet tutorials usually can helps with "soft" brick, I think my phone is hard bricked, and they are not working for me.

R800at with Locked Bootloader flashing rom solution

Hi friends, this is my first post so i hope it helps
I have a XPlay r800at with locked bootloader, and as many of you i wanted to flash a custom ROM
The first problem, i tried to find a free way to unlocking its bootloader, guess what. there is not a free way.(if you can/already paid for it, this post is not for you)
2nd) i found cooked rom's that can be flashed even with a locked bootloader :good: BUT it seem to work just fine with R800i, R800a....
3rd) But, can i flash a r800a or r800i rom and then flash a cooked rom...
The first thing can be done BUT the second no, why? because my phone is a r800at so this stock roms wont work at 100%
4) When i flashed those roms (i tried about 12 stock rom's ) something end up not working, like Wifi or Camera...so i tried to solve this "little" things in order to finally customize my r800at BUT....there is no solution for it since it is a Locked Bootloader meaning NO kernel Flashing meaning NO stock/modified wifi modules.... :crying:
5) 6) 7) more blablabla (customized systeui.apk, flashing, signing, decompling,downloading testing...... time and frustration)
8) finally i found a solution and here it is.
So if you want to flash a custom rom like "gin2KitKat"(thats the one i originally wanted to flash) here's a way that worked for my r800at
You will need a rom called "R800i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212).ftf"
Flashtool
Once you flash it with flash tools, you can follow the custom rom's instruction for "Locked Bootloader"....(root,CWM, wipe....)
i hope this help you and save you some time(despite my long story about how i get this rom working at 100% :silly: )
btw, "gin2kitkat" is a vokal1992's project

Ya that's not really a big problem but you won't be able to flash .img you will have to flash special .ftf made by LOOPEY on this forum there are only a handful of Roms and kernels such as lupus and doomkernel. You can unlock when unlock says no but you will ONLY be able to flash the Tom's made in. Ftf as you will not be able to enter fastboot. I'll see if I can find the Rom thread in case you still want to do it.
