Oc stock play rooted - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

R800a rooted I really wanted to overclock without a custom rom is that possible?

You need a custom kernel, which requires an unlocked bootloader

Cant you just flash the modules on stock

Nope, it's possible that devs are working on a locked bootloader version, but it's not doable yet

Thanks for the info!

Which rom did you use?

I would flash it to a stock rom then and if that doesn't work then its a hardware issue as in a loose circuit inside your phone.

R800x 2.3.4 root

I'm just curious but has anyone uncovered a way to root the Xperia play on Verizon running 2.3.4. The only way I've found is to downgrade to 2.3.3

No current way.

If you have the RootXperia.zip from Blagus (original clockwork mod recovery boot.img thread), you can flash that via Clockwork Mod. Make sure you have CWM installed first (unlocked bootloader).

There really is no point in using 2.3.4.
Unless you love new bloatware, no root, and many other problems
Use flashtool to get back to 2.3.3 and enjoy the fun!
i have root on 2.3.4 but i can't remember the steps. and yes there is no point on having 2.3.4
If you flash to 2.3.3, root it, and then update to 2.3.4 you will have rooted 2.3.4
Thats the good news
The bad news is, 2.3.4 doesn't connect to Google's servers properly (rooted or not) so you annoyingly can't use gtalk, and a couple other features, you have to manually refresh your Gmail, calendar, etc (It does it once per day otherwise), can no longer "buy apps" on the web and have them pushed to your phone automatically. And some apps with push notifications no longer notify.
Is the only way to unlock the bootloader for the r800x to use the paid method from unlock-bootloader.com ?

If you unlock your bootloader you can flash Super User zip from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
That is the classic and easiest way to root a device with an unlocked bootloader
Just instal it in recovery and your good to go!
Yes for the R800x the only BL unlock method is for 24$
I'm on 2.3.2, does 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 have access to the PS Store app?
I had thought about updating to a newer version, but damn, I can't believe all those issues with 2.3.4

You should ftf to 2.3.3. It is the most stable Gingerbread version for the R800x.
Or you can always use UK ROM
I have rooted my R800x wth the original gingerbreak exploit chew

Yes, I believe it is. It is so well worth it though
I really want 2.3.4. I couldn't give less f*cks about bloatware. They do nothing. I want the screenshot and other things they added. But Doom never updated his kernel to support the camera. Oh well.

Sure have, best $24 I've ever spent for android. I've mostly ran cm7 or cm9 since I've become quite use to them, but since unlocking it I can't even imagine how I went with just root for so long

[Q] CWM Wont boot up

Hello members of XDA I've been having some trouble with my Xperia Play R800a, Locked bootloader, A few days ago I was trying to install a rom and after it sent me into a bootloop, I was not able to get into CWM from there so I opened up the flashtool and tried getting it back to factory settings, now I can boot it up just fine, but when I try putting CWM through x-parts or cwm installer nonthing is coming up after I try to get into CWM
Was that ROM for unlocked bootloaders or locked? What is the name?

It was the Ice Cream Pureness ROM, I believe it was for both locked and unlocked bootloaders

Returning to stock...bootloader unlocked

I have an Xperia Play on Stock GB using DoomKernel.
The bootloader is unlocked.
It has begun freezing and apps not opening properly.
So I want to reinstall the stock ROM.
What is the best, easiest and safest way to do this considering I have the bootloader unlocked?
Thanks.
It's flashing the ftf via flashtool
