hey guys, I put the generic version of N. A. firmware on my play (r800a-fw) but to be honest i kinda like the stock att firmware more (i know-i'm crazy). I was sure i would like the generic i did not back up my original firmware. So does anyone have or know where i can get the stock at&t 2.3.3 firmware??????
thanks in advance for any help leading to a solution
Pretty sure there's no FTF of it yet. Since you didn't back it up, you'll just have to wait I guess
R800a is exactly the same as r800at except the bloatware you can download off the market, minecraft you'll have to buy now, and that stupid H+ symbol is now H but the speeds are still the same . Now you can tether and mobile hotspot with the r800a, something att blocked.

Hello,
I am looking for the stock Rom for the R800AT (AT&T) Version of the Xperia Play.
When I got the phone, I rooted it then installed the R800A 2.3.3 Rom. The Rom works pretty well but it sometimes has issues with data. I am planning on selling the phone and wish to revert it to stock.
I did not make a backup but perhaps someone else did an would like to share?
Thanks
I want it too, have the R800AT 4G and installed R800A now want to rollback
Yeah Same here, I need it
here you go
Xperia_Play_3.0.1.B.0.270_ATT.rar

Okay guys so I read the other threads regarding going back to stock from cm7 and
I understand how to flash back and everything. But my problem is...when I first got my phone it was bootloader locked and it's also the r800at version. After successfully getting the bootloader unlocked I rooted and flashed the ROM Cm7.2 then noticed the model became r800i but I still have "4g" speed via H+. So I want to go back to stock with doom kernel but am wondering which ROM I need which is either the UK generic or the north America one also will I still have H+ speeds? Sorry for such a long post!! Figured that more info resulted in better reply!!
Thanks guys in advanced!! ^.^
Just flash the north American rom and put your apn settings in again and you should be good to go

Hey guys, I was hoping I would'nt have to do this but i'm at a loss now.
I own the blue xperia play 4g phone and currently using it with straight talk service with their unlocked sim. Everything was fine until I decided to start trying out custom roms.
No matter what I tried, I could get them to load, work , function ect BUT I had weird issues where people could not hear me for the 1st call, but if I called them right back they could. It just seemed to be random and I could'nt put my finger on it.
So I flashed back to the stock 2.3.3 R800AT firmware, and then updated thru their Sony patch they made me do on the phone...and everything was fine again.
Well I got adventurous again, and UNLOCKED my bootloader. So NOW....after doing custom roms, I CANNOT reload my old R800at 2.3.3 firmware and get the OFFICIAL update from them. So i'm stuck with an upgradeable working 2.3.3 (this is the 2.3.3 before the update they put out, I know it does'nt go to 2.3.4. but its some kinda 2.3.3 update) with NO further updates.
So after tons of research i'm HOPING its the baseband I need ??? I dont know what else to do. Only other option is if some kind soul wants to send me over their AT&T r800AT 2.3.3 UPDATED firmware I'll just go back to stock but i'd prefer to keep using my custom roms!!!
***maybe if someone who has the blue xperia play 4g version, would post the "baseband" version they see on their phone, even that would help!!!***
Any help would be great and more than appreciated.
God bless and thanks guys,
Jason

Oh my friend, you are in the same boat as me. xD
All you need to do is get the stock 2.3.3 AT&T firmware, But you can also use r800i firmwares and update to 2.3.4 with the latest firmware.
Theres a thread somewhere containing the firmware, if not you can find it on google.
(Which is what im doing right now with straight talk) only negative thing I see is so far H instead of H+.
Dito on the baseband, the flashtool links with FTF 2.3.3 is down my phone is softbricked though

If alejandrissimo unlocked your phone you should have OTA updates. If you unlocked it with another method then im not sure what to tell you, gotta find the updated FTF files.
Guys good news here
I was correct in thinking it was the baseband on our phone that is causing the problem. I think its due to the fact we are 4g rather than 3g.
So how did i fix this problem??? Simple. I was able to use the doomkernel v13 (any seem to work), actually install the rom of choice, (i'm using Jokawild 2.5), and then downloaded/installed baseband file -36.
I also installed the -36 libs package that was somewhere posted on here its the new .386 version.
Everything is working now and i'm happy. Going to save the baseband/lib files so i have them forever incase something happens.
Take care, God bless and thank you for your input/time. I could'nt go another day with them stock at&t roms!!!!

Hello hello, I need your help. I've got the generic North Am. 2.3.4 (.42) and I'm having this problem. I've got an unlocked bootloader and I want to install the baseband file. Can I do that with a generic rom? What is the process for installing a baseband file and libs package? Where can I get these files? Thanks.

I think I have the same or a similar problem. I frequently encounter a similar situation where it could take 10+ seconds before the other person can hear me speak, but I can hear them the whole time. By now most of my friends and family know how to deal with it, but before they would just hang up on me. Then they could hear me if I called them. If I reboot the phone, it fixes it for a while, but then it comes back after some time and takes another reboot to resolve.
My phone is a SIM unlocked, bootloader locked Xperia Play R800a model from last year's Google I/O. It uses the same frequencies as AT&T for 3G and 2G and I'm using it on AT&T as well. I have the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4) ROM installed, and it has Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56.
I found a separate thread with the -36 Baseband here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469473
I'm considering flashing this over my current -56 Baseband to see if it improves the situation. As I recall, I never had this sort of trouble when I first got the phone. It's really only been since I updated to Firmware .42 that I've had these problems. Is it safe to do this?
Thanks!

I wanted to add that on Friday I installed the -36 baseband with mine and I'm getting 4G+ (I hit 12MBs at mobilespeedtest.com). And my calls have stopped being cut off.

Awesome! That's also funny because I also installed the -36 baseband last night. So far, so good. Calls and data both work as normal. I'll need to do more testing to be sure whether it fixed my problem or not.
Now did you just install the baseband or did you also flash or push the libs to it as well? All I did was use Flashtool to flash the baseband .ftf file.
I have an At&t version of the Xperia Play (R800at). I have the phone rooted but the bootloader is still locked. I hate the bloated ROM that At&t has and wanted to flash a new one. I really like the Cola rom but it does not work on At&t. Is there a ROM I can flash on the stock At&t kernal that does not have all the bloat? I really just use the phone for calls, texting and games (mostly emulators). Can I go to another stock ROM? I would like 2.3.3 so I can run all of my converted PS1 games, I really don't want to reconvert them for 2.3.4. I do not know what info from my phone I would need to figure out what ROM to download and use. Any information would be greatly appriciated.
I have the same thing except my bootloader is unlocked. I've tried many of the roms on here myself but the baseband from AT&T doesn't give me the "can hear the other person but they cant hear me half the time" problem from the stock rom and I can get 4G on it whereas the other roms do not. Is there any roms that use the baseband from AT&T and get rid of the bloat or is there one that can just use the baseband from the stock rom? I used to have a Galaxy I so not being able to flash different basebands all the time is new to me.
--edit---
After poking around and ignoring some things different stuff said, I was able to get cyanogenmod 7.2 (freexperia) on my phone and I then installed the -36 baseband and libs after and everything appears to be working good so far. Going to test a bit with phone calls yet, but as long as I can get online and my phone calls arent messed up this is exactly what I wanted because I love cyanogenmod, I just know it kept saying I needed to have a specific set up but that never worked for me with the baseband, I just went for it and I think the problem I always had was not having the lib files to upload after flashing cyan

Sorry, don't mean to hijack the topic, but could you describe the issue where you can hear the other person but they can't hear you a little more? I seem to frequently encounter a similar situation where it could take 10+ seconds before the other person can hear me speak, but I can hear them the whole time. By now most of my friends and family know how to deal with it, but before they would just hang up on me.

I have the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4) ROM installed, but it has Baseband 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56 and not -36. Is -36 the best to use with AT&T?
same phone
I have the exact same phone and I had the exact same problem. TrueAncestor v. 1.4 worked wonders. It was easy to do, it was nicely themed, and the bloatware is all gone! I really recommend.
Here is a list of ftf files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Try flashing a Generic, I dont know how the R800at response to generic R800i, but i have a R800a that has no issues when flashing it with R800i, also i think you could clean the bloatweare with Flashtool, might want to try it.
Last night I installed the -36 baseband from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469473
So far, so good. Calls and data both work as normal. I'll need to do more testing to be sure whether it fixed my problem or not.
I should also note that all I did was use Flashtool to flash the baseband .ftf file over top of my already installed North American Generic 4.0.2.A.0.42 that I got from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326459
There's another topic on this same thing and it sounds like using the -36 baseband with the .42 firmware is a good way to go for the Xperia Play 4G (R800at). You can find that one here:
