actually it is powering off your device first unplug it from pc then hold down BACK button not search button then while holding BACK button (first button on leftmost part of your Xplay) plug the usb cable to your phone. That should get you into fastboot and start flashing using flashtool or manual fastboot commands (using cmd).

back button is for flashing an ftf file search button is used for fastboot
when i do the search button and then plug usb cable, lights turn blue for 3secs and switch to green and the charge logo appears after that.
Noob Guide for Flashing and Fastboot:
Step 1) Power your device off and Remove USB
Step 2) Hold Search for "Fastboot" and Back Button for Recovery mode Then Whilst Holding insert Usb Into Xperia.
Step 3) Now you have got into "Recovery or "Fastboot" have fun Flashing, Booting, etc

erm, have you got the necessary drivers for fastboot?
fastboot is useless without an unlocked bootloader anyway, because most of the time you will be flashing kernel or system partitions which will give errors
edit: you can still hotboot kernels like binary's hotboot cwm images
How do you hotboot?

After re-reaading this, i realised that ur bootloader is locked. U need a unlock bootloader, fastboot uses the bootloader to flash or something along that line. cant remember. my apoplogies.
I knew that, so anyway how can use custom firmware then,?

Fastboot does not work on sim unlocked phones with locked bootloaders. I have an r800a too. I suggest you contact Alejandrissimo and get your BL unlocked if you want to use fastboot. It's worth it and it's pretty easy.
Is it possible to use a custom rom with a locked bootloader??
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
A Rogers r800a doesn't have fastboot. The recovery you installed runs from the system partition instead of the kernel, and that blue light you saw was the recovery loading.
You can unlock your bootloader and enable fastboot using Omnius. Normally, it would cost money, but they have free credits for easter weekend right now.
Check this post.

If you can't figure it out, I can help you through teamviewer.
and then afterwards, I can also help you through installing a ROM, since this thread seems a bit confused.

I want to know if anyone here in the xperia play forum have unlocked bootloader, i want to know if i should use sony's way of unlocking it or if there's another way and what i want to know is, does clockworkmod unlock booltloader? and you need to unlock bootloader to flash custom roms?
what does clockwordmod do and what does rom manager do ?
i have more questions about bootloader but i cant remember at the moment so i'll add them as i remember
You can't
If Sony's way doesnt works for you and if you cant enter into fastboot mode (turn off device, conect usb cable while pressing search button and get a blue light on your led indicator) the only method is to pay someone to unock you.
I unlocked my bootloader with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584312
but the promo is over :/
aight well the promo for that is over i'm gonna try sony's way of unlocking it n see if there method work

blue light when you press the search key and plug in the usb but please read the instructions carefully
i still need the answer for this question:
"does clockworkmod unlock booltloader? and you need to unlock bootloader to flash custom roms?
what does clockwordmod do and what does rom manager do?"
Clockworkmod doesn't unlock bootloader, you can install clockworkmod with the bootloader closed, whit this you can flash custom ROM's but only the ones for locked bootloader support (original kernel)
Clockworkmod is a recovery menu, you can do semi-advanced user tasks like format partitions or backup all your operative sistem's nand (nandroid), you can flash zips for tweaks, firmwares and mods, clear/wipe caches , battery stats.. etc
PD: Did you get Blue light (on power button LED) when you connect your USB cable to you turned off phone while pressing search button?

i did this and i got the blue light but nothing else happens it jus shows on my pc something with found new hardware
Personally I'd use omnius. It keeps your drm keys.
Edit: if you already have fastboot (blue light, black screen, Android doesn't boot) then use the Sony method.
Hi All
I am a relative noob but have read around the Forum a lot.
I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my Arc S. I have checked all the basic on Sony site, it is allowed etc. The problem I have is my PC does not detect my phone when in recovery. When phone is booted normally PC companion finds it no problem. I have SDK manger installed and fastboot.exe is working, it just can't see the phone. I have CWM recovery installed, not sure if this is an issue.
Does anyone have any idea how to sort this out.
Many Thanks.
Why do you connect to pc when in cwm ??

I was trying to unlock the bootloader following Sony's instructions. You need to connect using Fastboot to issue the unlock code, but my phone is not detected. I have check drivers etc, all looks ok.
Missing drives for sure !!!
Try another usb port !!!

I'm also trying to unlock my BL, I go into fastboot but then I get stuck when ito comes to using the command window, as I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64 & I'm unable to cd into the Program Files (x86) folder as I get the error message access denied.

Ok I managed to sort it out, I tried all sorts of ways but the phone would not load into fastboot. In the end I was having numerous problems so I flashed JJ Hybrid rom without unlocking the bootloader. Intrestingly when I had done this the phone will go into fastboot, so I have now unlocked the bootloader. I gues there must have been something wrong with the offical rom that I had installed.
Thanks for the advice.
So I was about to root my Xperia S and started reading a guide, it said that I would need to load some files into the phone using fastboot. After a while I figured out how to fastboot and managed to get the popup on my computer once, however, I didn't install it that time and now when I try to fastboot again I get the blue LED on my phone, my computer makes some noises indicating that something unusual have been conected, nothing happens and the phone shows the Sony logo.
Does anybody know how to fix the problem and get the popup on the computer to re apear.
I run a 64 bit windows 7 home premium.
Thanks.

So for Unlocking Bootloader You have to use fastboot mode.. ok
and after that, for rooting it should be done using flashtool in fastboot mode..
so here is the thing.. Download The Flashtool first And After extracting the files You'll Find a Folder Named Drivers.. first Install The Fastboot Drivers Even To Unlock The Bootloader..

Hi,
I can't connect my phone in flashmode nor in fastboot mode. Whenever i connect it in flashmode/fastboot mode my PC stucks(hangs) and i have to restart it again i have installed all the drivers for all devices but still the problem exists. Any help in this regards???
Also to mention i'm using Windows XP SP3 and flashtool version is 0.9.1.0.
I have also one more issue when i connect my phone to the charger when it is switched off the phone does not charge at all it simply shows me the sony logo and keeps showing it again and again but never charges. In short when my battery is complete i cannot get it back to life due to this problem but thank god that i have installed CWM on my phone.
Thanks for helping i'll also post this in the development section also.
I have no idea to your problem, but I would guess that it have something to do with you using xp, or maybe some damage on your phone.

Im using the latest Flashtool version (0.9.9.0) with the drivers intalled (even though Windows security constantly pestered me about not being able to identify the source and signture) on Windows 7 64 bits..

The Drivers won't install, when I run Flashtool-drivers.exe (that was the only one that existed) and select all of the xperia S drivers, the fastboot drivers and Flashmode drivers only Sony Eriksson Comunication something something is installed, the rest sas couled not be installed (but in swedish). You don't happen to have a solution for that. But installing the drivers this way wont help sins I still has to get it into fastboot to unlock the bootloader, to get the recovery upp and runnling... when I run the phone into fastboot from flash tools it dose the exact same thing as when I dose it manually, going into fastboot for ca 5s. then enter the Sony and then the charging screen.
Once agan, using windows 8 64-bit, have acces to a vista 32-bit. I have no experience with virtual macheans so if it was possible to avoid that, that would be good.

hi guys, need some help here. I'll try to keep this short and precise to describe how i ended up in the problem
i did not have (and do not have) any custom recovery installed before this day, never needed to go in recovery mode.
1. Root using TowelRoot app (no problem so far)
2. Installed SuperSu app (no problem so far)
3. Unlocked bootloader using Fastboot and followed official sony guides
---after unlocking the bootloader, phone went in bootloop. It can go in Fastboot mode. It can go in FlashTool Mode, but when I tried flashing FTF file, it ended up in boot again. instead of Sony logo + colourful animation. now it's stuck at sony logo only.
I tried using Sony PCC, to repair it but it says there's any error, can't proceed - it's a dead end.
Do you think it's cause I actioned in incorrect order i.e. should have unlocked bootloader first before rooting?
Thanks for all the help/advices/direct links.
