[Q] unbrick play r800at? please help.. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried to put rom dfrgsm 3.0.2 on my phone and now all it will do is go to the sony ericsson screen and thats it.

Try using Flashtool to flash your stock rom.

Flashtool, select flash mode. Download the 2.3.3 r800AT firmware from the compilation thread. Start your phone by holding the back button and connecting a USB cable, flash 2.3.3 for r800at, done.

HELP!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem happen to my phone trying to flash XDark ICS and now I can not do ANYTHING and I'm FREAKING OUT. When I try and flash it through flash tools I get errors and then it disconnects and says device connected with USB debugging off and also says Be sure you are not in MTP Mode. I can't change anything not being able to get into it. All I want to do is get back into CMW so I can restroe my backup and never mess with it again. Is there ANYTHING I can do??? I am pretty sure when I tried to flash that rom, obviously the wrong way, I was in them modes they say I'm not in flash tool. Please Help Me???

Did you install the Android SDK first on your pc? Next up did you install the sony drivers? When you install flashtool inside the flashtool folder there is folder called drivers and accept all the permissions that goes along with it. In order the get flashtool working properly you should do the first 2 things I posted? Your play is not "bricked" it is a soft brick. Meaning your PLAY can be saved its not scrap yet.

[Q] Forget to checklist usb debugging mode

It Fixed. Thx
My phone Arc S. 404 fw 413 virgin
After I look JJHybrid 3.1 i'm amazed with the UI. And plus the Locked BL users also can try it. and i'm doing step by step to do so. i root my phone, install CWM download JJhybrid 2.5 and i am succesfully to try the 2.5, and after that i accidentally unchecklist my usb debugging mode and than i try to upgrade to JJhybrid 3.1, i'm doing it wrong. i didnt wipe the data, instead i just upgrade it. and my phone now stuck on sony logo. i try to flash it with many FTF, ready to root FTF, middle east FTF, spain FTF. and the result is zero. always aborting the flashing. i try to remember what might wrong, and voila.. i think i know the problem, usb debugging mode that i unchekclist before. so what do i do to checklist that usb debugging mode again? my phone just stuck in sony logo T.T
or could someone give me step by step to get my phone on again T.T please
Flash a kernel with integrated CWM on ramdisk and boot in CWM. I recommend doomlord's kernel since it can boot even you borked out any ROMs.

and also my phone still locked bootloader
please anyone., help me. what should i do
Oh ok locked bootloader is another issue. Anyways try booting the rom on safe mode. Just power on your phone, when sony logo shows up press and hold the hardware menu button. If it fails and flashtool also fails then bring it to service center.

User Sony PC Companion to repair your phone... It's that simple.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
Flashtool, PC Companion, Update Service, EMMA, CWM and other services do NOT require USB debugging to be turned on.

Handful of problems!

Hello! A friend of mine give me his phone to fix it. It was stuck on the Exclamation Mark and Phone image. I flashed it with Flashtool and LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.Central.Europe.1.1247-1041. Now, the phone works, it boots and so on.
1st problem : the wifi doesn't work, it gets stuck at turning on.
2nd problem : i can't access flash mode, i tried like a million times, no luck (it used to work though, now it just enters charge mode and that's it). Without flash mode, i can't flash a new FW or ROOT/install CWM to repair wifi.
3rd problem : the phone sees a new update, 4.1.B.0.587, but it can't install it over wap, and i can't flash it either.
4th problem : PCC/SEUS can't update the phone/nor repair it, tough the phone is seen and detected.
I'm open for advices on how to fix those issues. Thank you very much in advance.

the problem is (as i took it out of his post), that he can't flash anything.
did your friend unlocked his bootloader? if so, when he did it with the official method, then it is normal that seus doesn't recognize the phone...
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
If you cannot use SEUS, then you prolly have an unlocked bootloader.
Flash a kernel with cwm like advanced stock and post back with info.
If you still get stuck, try to flash a rom from dev section, or/and post a logcat with the errors
Like i told in my original post : I CAN'T enter flash mode, and the phone IS SEEN by SEUS/PCC (but it can't repair, nor update it, since it requires flash mode)
About the unlocked bootloader, i don't know.

Well, it might be worth the idea to unlock the bl, download a custom rom, flash a custom kernel which fits with this rom, flash the rm, and afther that, flash back the generic firmware. IK, it's a crazy idea, but maybe it helps
ragards - Cartman
Edit: flash custom kernel via fastboot, (which is usual the way), so you do not need flashmode
I will unlock the bootloader, if it's really necessary (i think it's not unlocked). Though i'm pretty sure i CAN'T, since i can't use fastboot, same problem as flashmode.
AW: Handful of problems!
well, first unlock bl and try, if that won't work, then you have to live without wifi.

Cant Get To FastBoot or Flash Mode

I recently flashed CM9 to my phone, but now i want to move on to JB, but for some reason i can not get into flash mode to write a different FTF.
When i I try to get into flash mode, I power the device off, hold the back button, and insert the USB cable. The LED on top flickers green then the screen comes on the the charging screen.
The same happens when I try to use fastboot except blue light flickers.
I have tried diferent computers, cables and OS's im not sure what else to try.
Download flashtool and install the drivers for your phone then leave your phone and enable unknown sources and enable usb debugging then open flashtool then press flash icon and select fastboot mode then plug your phone in then select reboot into fastboot mode via adb

I ran the driver utility and even when I send reboot bootloader via adb, the LED only flickers blue for a moment, then it boots to CWM.
I didn't think the drivers on the computer would change if the phone goes into flash mode or not though.
Default Cant Get To FastBoot or Flash Mode
You would need to be in flashmode (green light) to install a stock FTF not fastboot mode has suggested above. Have you tried flashing another version of CM9 with your phone via cwm and then trying from there see if the problem is not your rom.If not it could be a driver issue.

I know i need to be in flash mode, i just reinstalled cm9.1.0 and it still has the same problem. I dont know what to do. I have tried multiple cords, I have used ubuntu ,win7 and win8 with the drivers installed and reinstalled. Im worried that my phone is broken.

(1) Have you installed other roms before your problem started did this only start after installing CM9
(2) Have you flashed any other kernels before CM9 or was CM9 your first rom/kernel flash
Noticed on your first post you wrote that you hold the back button then attached the usb did you do this when flashtool said or before, you need to connect the usb exactly when flashtool tells you to like below step 5
(1) How to flash a stock .ftf Rom
(2) load & place .ftf rom in Windows/flashtool/firmware folder
(3) Open flashtool press lightening icon press flashmode
(4) Select your .ftf you placed in flashtool /firmware folder earlier
(5) Wait! Flashtool will tell you to connect your phone!
(6) Press & hold back button while connecting phone to PC green light will come on.
(7) Wait while flashtool starts flashing your stock rom.When finished it will tell you to reboot
(8) Finished unplug switch your phone on done!
Sorry if you already do it like this but some people forget and connect the usb too early Also I would recommend downloading a different version of flashtool some people have managed to get there phone working by using a older version of flashtool:good:

(1) yes, i have installed several roms before CM9 and i was always able to enter flash mode.
(2)I have tried doom kernel and several other kernels as well
I have waited till flash tool prompts, but IIRC id didn't matter in the past, flashtool would see what mode it was in and proceed.
Thank you for the descriptive reply.
Did you try a older version of flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1375894152000

I just tried versions 7 and 8, it doesn't seem to help.
I feel like this is something wrong with my phone though, I remember the phone being able to go into fast boot and flash mode at any time, as long as the computer was on. It is really weird how it flashes the color on the LED.

I so this quote on another thread similar problem to yours this is what he did:
Quote: Funny thing though is that in order to get into either mode, I have to remove the battery while it is plugged in and then hold down the corresponding key while inserting the battery and the corresponding light will then light up. That seems to be the only way to get into the modes. And sometimes this does't work, but it seems to work more than not.
This guy did this to get into fastboot and flashmode worth a try?

no luck... The light only blinks then goes into charging mode...
Edit:Is there a test point or something that would force the phone into one of these modes?

I read this for another phone and it is a shot in the dark, but if the boot block were zeroed out, it forces it into fastboot. If this can possibly work, what block device is the boot partition?
I will not bee too disappointed if the phone is bricked.

sony boot you say, then you were at stock kernel. Look for a JB kernel like LuPuS, nAa, etc and flash it via Flashtool. Then boot to recovery, either by back button or volume down button depending on the kernel then wipe all, flash respective rom, flash gapps then modules.
thanks for fast answers!!!
haha it cant be less stresfull cause it`s not my phone i googled but when i connect flashtool it wont recognize device either :/ ?
edit....
YEEEEEEY i made it ^_^ after 123091230 errors and windows security s%*( windows recognized phone...and through flashtool i installed LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic.World.1254-2184.ftf
I`m gonna install now a update with sony pc companion and i`m not gonna touch further? maybe only if you have some tips to suscces cause i couldnt...
I dont understand that part with kernel....what kernel should i install?
Now it`s 2.6.32.9-perf on phone with latest softwer via sony pc companion....4.0.4 softwer

nevermind sony pc companion if you want a custom JB rom.
First check if your bootloader is unlocked by entering in dialer:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then navigate to System Info>Configuration then check if Bootloader Unlocked:yes, if it says allowed:no, you have to bring it to sony and pay for it to be unlocked,. Or unlock it with testpoint method, which I think is delicate.
Make sure ADB is on.
click the link below then choose the respective kernel for your ROM:
Kernels
choose if it is 4.1 or 4.1.2 or 4.2 or what is based by your chosen ROM.
Turn off phone>hold the menu button(back button, home button, menu button) then connect it to pc
Open flashtool>click the thunder>Fastboot mode>Select kernel to Flash then navigate to the file.

Flash Mode not working and can't get recovery or root

I bought a xperia ZL C6506 4.4.4 .283 firmware used for the soul purpose of rooting it and using it with AppRadio Unchained in my truck but it is giving me hell. All i need is root access and everything i have tried has failed. I downloaded flashtool and all the necessary drivers but i can't get the phone into flash mode. I can get it into fastboot just fine. I am trying to flash the .230 firmware so i can root and then go back to .283 but flashtool throws an error in fastboot mode. I tried twrp recovery using adb fastboot command line but it just didn't work. I am new to sony and I'm pretty annoyed because i bought it because it was supposed to be easy as opposed to my GS5. Towelroot says device not supported. Easy root throws adb database out of date errors or just hangs at waiting for device. WTF!
Any thoughts on how i can fix flashmode to work with flashtool or get root access. I am not interested in doing much modding with this just need root.
Thanks

I guess flashmode is disabled in your region by your manufacturer. Strange but usually they disable fastboot mode too. Were you able to goto flashmode when you intially bought your mobile?
While connecting to ur laptop using Usb cable press and hold volume down button and see if the green flash led stands. At this this if you have already installed the needed drivers for flashtool , it should be able to detect your phone. If you have windows 8.0 and up make sure that you sign your drivers before installing it to laptop, else your drivers will fail to install in your laptop and flashtool will not detect your mobile even if you put it in flashmode.
Oddly enough i plugged it in this morning without opening flashtool or anything and tried to put it into flash mode and it worked. Windows installed a seperate driver and then i got everything working.
Thanks for the reply

If the LED light blink red then green then turn off. That doesn't mean it's not working.
