Has anyone seen this before? I'm going into the Fastboot mode on my Xperia Play, and the blue light comes on, comes on for only about 5 seconds, then disappears and then my DoomKernel loads.
I even tried to reboot directly into the Fastboot mode using the DoomKernel, and the blue light came on, then went off, really fast, only about a second.
Why would it stop working like this?
I want to try ICS but I can't get into fastboot!
Any help or ideas would be very appreciated
Thank you!

Try using another USB port or cable if you haven't already.

I will try that and let you know

I've tried it with a different USB cable and a different port and it is STILL doing the same thing. Its like it will only stay in flashboot mode as long as I hold the search button, as soon as I let go, the blue light disappears and my DoomKernel boots up. It won't stay in the mode.
Looks like I was able to get it resolved, it was a driver issue.
ICS yay!
Thanks again everyone!

So I managed to brick my phone and I know to unbrick it that I'd need to get into download mode and use odin, but I can't even get in to download mode. When I try, the blue led light comes on and stays on, then turns off for about a second, and then it comes back on. Is there another way to get into download mode? Any suggestions?
you can do it through adb
Guide or instructions?

Right when I modded the kernel to allow root, it gave me odd problems when the device was powering on. hold Power + Vol Down for about 15seconds until you get the screen to power on. If that doesn't work then you must've erased the bootloader.
If I erased the bootloader, what would I need to do?

A jig will work also. The one I used previously with my Captivate worked just fine and makes it simple.
intresting
I found the jig online and i tried it, bit i had the same result of only the blue led coming on. I tried plugging it up to the computer after doing the jig and it still didnt work.

What is the color of the LED when you plug it in? Also, if it is an R800i (GSM) version, you could try unlocking the bootloader and reflashing the device with Flashtool. Check out the development forums for tutorials on both bootloader unlocking as well as flashing.

gsm version, how can i flash it when it wont come on or boot and the computer not recognizing the usb device connected. the led flashes red
If it only blinks, it seems that the battery was too low.
plug in your charger, after 1 hours charging try it again.
I remember reading a thread about blinking red light. Not sure what it was now though.

you will need to have it repaired then. seems like a hardware problem if u ask me.
just letting u all know i fixed it was the battery. it was totally dry. used a universal battery charger which if very cheap and brought it back to life, now i think i wants to flash ass any sim card i put in it i get no signal its unlocked too
i didnt flash anything
i never had problems like this before
i was just listening to music before it stopped booting
i just pulled of the battery,and then it didnt boot up
Anyone has suggestions? I am on .42[FIRMWARE] Chaos11 [KERNEL] using MotoBlur [THEME] with unlocked bootloader
it doesnt even allow me to go FLASH mode , FASTboot mode,Recovery mode OR CHargeMode
:/
Plug thw wall charger up for a few and let us know if the power butten trund orange if it does let it stay like that for 10 to 20 mints then turn it on with the cager pluged in if it dont work let us know

Hi guys, firstly wanted to say i apologise if my query is already out there but i did have a quick look.
Right basically i got fed up using my Orange San Diego [also is falling apart] so i dug around my draw of bits and bobs and found my old xperia play. now i know i had problems with it well over a year or 2 ago, so here goes
Bascially if i try to turn it on i get the little blue light and vibration and nothing on the screen [ i remeber the screen started getting tempremental] and would have to open and close it a few times lol
At the moment its on charge and the blue light keeps coming on for a few seconds then going, and a fw seconds later back on.
Any help? Not sure what custom rom i put on as i was dabbling in all of that blindly a few years go.
Thanks again for your help.

If the screen was acting up, you might have to replace the flex cable.

When does the blue light appear? And when you connect your XPlay to your computer, is it booted up to the ROM, or is it in fastboot/flashmode?
The blue light appears either when I'm charging it or when I connect it to my pc via usb it'll flash a few seconds while the pc tries to install the drivers.
I don't know abot boot etc as can't see screen could I have bricked it before?

What's the status of your Search Button? Maybe that's the problem, as it seems like it's continuously pressed. Is it short-circuited?

Ok just got all your messages, my search button seems ok, just like the other buttons it does feel a little loose, but i feel it press in when i push it like the buttons do.
Im downloaind and about to flashtool thing it lol
Recently I again unlocked my bootloader, installed an advanced stock kernel, than thorugh the same kernel i installed the Doomlords kernel. (battery was about 50%)
after installation phone automatically booted to CWM, i simply rebooted it.
then it got stuck for about a minute at the boot logo (DOOMLORDS) after that it switched off.
tried to start it again, it didnt.
tried to reset it via power and volume Up still failed to..
I thought may be its stuck, removed battery for while and installed again.. still nothing happened..
PC doesnt detect it
Afterwards i put it on up a wall charger, for its 3-4 hours no LED but suddenly after that it gave me a orange light, i thought may be it will be ok now .. tried to start gain but failed....
put again on a wall charger for a day still orange light.. PC still not detecting it... cant turn it on or hard reset..
Please any suggestions..
Does it show anything at all or is it blank
if not
hold a rubberband holding power and volume up for about 10-60mins
and try flashing something via flashtool
