Please help! Xperia Play R800x VERIZON!

Hi I'm new here, just made an account 5 minutes ago.
I need help with getting CM7, CM9 or any other Custom Rom on my Xperia Play R800X VERIZON. I am Rooted, and have an Unlocked Bootloader. I was able to flash a UK version of the Xperia Play android version 2.3.3 Rom to make sure my bootloader was unlocked. The UK version was nice but it wasn't for me.
Just trying to get CM9 on my phone! but for some reason I'm having a really hard time doing so.
If anyone can help me or give me advice it would be much appreciated, I'm just trying to make use of my unlocked Bootloader! D:

Download the rom, extract the kernel then place the rom on the root of your sd card. flash kernel with flashtool, boot into recovery, WIPE EVERYTHING, flash rom and gapps. They have instructions on how to install on 99% of the threads.. good luck

Thanks for the reply!
Is there a "best" if you will, ROM or Kernel for the Xperia Play? I'm just trying to get the most out of my device. Also how do I get the gapps you mentioned?
I've done this a few times already but the main problem for me is: I get the kernel working, get into recovery, but when I got to apply/ flash the ROM I always seem to get and error message of some sort. Its very aggravating. I've been checking all over the internet for a solution but nothing so far, I've been awake for almost 48 hours now looking for a solution -.-
Thanks

There is a flashtool thread in development section.
And, the best ROM I love is Cola ROM. Has no Verizon Bloatware! Favorite thing about it

For some reason when I use Flashtool to flash a kernel it ends up giving me an error message & then makes my phone inactive, I then have to flash back to VERIZON stock Rom all over again. Any ideas??

I appreciate all the replies!
But for some reason NONE of this is working for me :/
I can flash a stock ftf file via flashtool no problem. I can enter recovery via X-parts app no problem. But when it comes to flashing the kernel via flashtool & unzipping the rom file via recovery they always report back an error message which leaves my phone completely useless or stuck on a boot loop which I then have to re flash stock rom to have a working phone again.
Hopefully that made sense lol, I have TeamViewer if anyone can help me thru that possibly idk I'm out of ideas...

To flash kernels, I use Fastboot instead of FlashTool. If course if you choose that route, you'll need to set up Fastboot.

super noob question can you supply me with the fastboot link you're talking about?
& possibly instructions?

Read through this link and you will see where to download Fastboot files and drivers.

Haha right. Just use that link to find where it tells you how to setup Fastboot. The files and drivers are available to download from MediaFire. Just look for the clickable links on that page.

Did you get the files downloaded? If so place them in a folder on your PC together.
Power your phone off. Then power on while holding the search button. You should see the blue LED on top of your phone which means you are in Fastboot mode.
Try that much and report back, then we can work on actually flashing the kernel.

Go to the folder where you put the Fastboot and driver files. On your PC, hold in shift and then right click. You should see the option to open a command prompt here. Try that.

Oh, awesome! You should probably add that to the title
Does this have the same issue as the .101 where the XZDR.prop file needs to be replaced in order to access recovery?

lol, It might, I deleted the files in that directory right before turning off my phone to access recovery and flash the new zip. Both recovery's are working great with 4.4.2

Downloading now!

First of ... thanks Crash! You were really fast! I'm downloading right now
What directory do we need to delete the files from? I was not aware of the issue, though now I know why I couldn't access recovery on 101 :silly:

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101

Oh, how much I love you right now. Thanks a lot! Will report if I encounter any issue with your files, though I seriously doubt I will.

I'm on unlocked boot loader. Can I just flash the zip and then the ftf file? Thanks

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.

Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?
Regards

I flashed it with CWM but TWRP should also work without issues.

My BL is locked, there are easier ways if you have an unlocked bootloader but this will work whether your BL is locked or unlocked. Ive been running it for a few hours now and no issues, root and dual recovery's are working.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it

Can Anyone tell me What are the difference between Boot logo or Bootanimation..??
I know bootanimation and we can change it but never heard about boot logo..
Is this boot logo can replace "Warning:Bootloader Unlock Sign "(This message is irritating..) after Reboot..??
Edit: Just search it in Youtube and got my answer..!! Thanks for this logo...

boot logo is the splash screen you see before bootanimation..here are the steps to use it..
you can do it by 2 ways..i>by flashing it through custom recovery
ii>by using adb command..
1>FLASHING-just flash the zip if the op made it flashable..
head on to custom recovery installed(cwm or twrp) and flash the zip provided
2>adb command(preferred by me )-open the zip provided and you will find a logo.bin file.copy it to the adb folder and run adb .now go to bootloader on you phone and type the command in adb on pc
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
done!
you will find the logo flashed now.if facing any difficulty just tell me.i will guide you or if you want i will teach you this using teamviewer as its a job of commands on pc :laugh::silly:

[Report] FreeXperiaProject Lollipop builds

So, I tested all available buils in FXP blog. Guess what, none of them worked, they all get bootloop.
The method I used was using this commands in same folder of build files:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
I think this is pretty much the end of T3 development
Hope I get a new phone soon

Deleted everything

Hi
I was messing around with my system and tought I delete everything in TWRP. :crying:
I am still able to go in TWRP and Fastboot.
I messed with the partition formats too.
What can I do then?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
