Verizon Xperia Play rooting issues

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my new Verizon Xperia Play and it is having all kinds of problems. I get a forced closing whenever I try to make a phone call.
My computers cannot recognize my phone.
Is there a fix or a way to just go back to unlocked without having root until this can be worked out?? I can't not have the phone functions.
Please advise

Here ya go, read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009714
but on a helpful note. I would flash the stock verizon FTF file. That should fix any problems...

Could you please tell me how to flash the stock kernal???

You extract kernel.sin from the ftf file with 7z or winrar and flash it with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
Regards Dousan...

Not that I want to unroot but this rom is messing up terribly. I followed the instructions (I think) and I checked root checker and it states that I have root but I can't use my phone (forced closing everytime). I know I'm so close but I am too much a noob on this phone to figure it out. I rooted the T-Bolt with no problems and I have installed nightly's regularly and new roms with no issues but this verizon phone is making me seriously frustrated.
Your idea was great and greatly appreciated but I don't know where to start.

It sounds like you followed the instructions on how to root the gsm model, and not the CDMA verizon. Use flashtool to flash back to stock verizon rom, then follow the instructions that are NOT stickied!

The way I obtained root without any problems was to flash Dooms kernal, then flash back to stock.

Dont use flashtool. Use fastboot.
Get the system file and the kernel file from my state of development thread.
put the phone into fastboot mode: turn off, then hold search while plugging in the usb line. the power light will turn steady blue.
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.sin
and then
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash system system.sin
This should put you back at stock.

Help for Xperia S

I had unlocked my bootloader and set up my Xperia s with CM 9.1. As there were a lot of irregularities I wanted to revert Xperia s back to stock so I used the repair function from PC companion. Though everything seems to be back to normal but the facebook Timescape, download music info and I also think that the BE is not working (according to XDAians) but do find difference in videos and photos with BE enabled.
I would like my Xperia s back to stock with everything working like out of the box, no rooting no deodexing! Please help!
This is the current state of my mobile if it helps in helping me :-

I would suggest reflashing with flashtool, download a stock firmware first ofcourse.
Its really easy and straightforward.

flash stock rom and relocked your bootloader or relocked bootloader update via sus.
for timescape - theres already a fix for that on themes and apps section
for download music info- theres a fix for that on xperia s development section
for BE - i think its still working, cause mines working

I don't understand your first question can you be more precise?
And that timescape fix worked
And the download music info thing is for the rooted phones mine is unrooted and i want to keep it that way!

I don't understand your first question can you be more precise? - you said that you want to have rom out of the box so i said flash via flashtool or upgrade via sus (sony update service)
And that timescape fix worked - good
And the download music info thing is for the rooted phones mine is unrooted and i want to keep it that way! - but you cant have working download music info unless youre rooted, so make your choice.and i think you can uninstall superuser or supersu after that.

Ohk now i got everything working without root!

Looks nice.
But for people with locked BL or anyone else who doesn't want to flash this just use Gravity Box via Xposed Framework.

When I flash it I have bootloop, my device is C1905

new zip uploaded
please download again and flash it
framework.jar was missing in old zip
my mistake
make sure to have a nandroid backup or you can simply flash system from a ftf file without wiping cache and data

Hey people i wanted to let you lot know and the dev that you can flash this on locked bootloader using Flash Gordon I did it on my Xperia M(C1905) locked bootloader and it works like charm no bootloop or anything when i flahed it on locked bl be warned you need to be fully rooted to do this if your phone half rooted I don't know what will happen and your ROM need to be deodexed
BE WARNED PHONE HAVE TO DEODEXED OR WHEN YOU FLASH THE ZIP ALL THE APPS WILL STOP WORKING AND THE PHONE WILLGO INTO BOOT LOOP( I know this is because the developer tells that and I tried it without deoxdiding my ROM and it went into bootloop and had to flash firmware again)
When you flash this using Flash Gordon it will reboot suddenly don't worry about ]

Hi! I do not speak English well
I would like to ask you what you did in the 'android.policy.jar', the 'framework.jar' and 'framework-res.apk'?
Thank you in advance!

Question: for what version is this flash file? 4.1,2 or 4.3? , thanks

Help cant root xperia s

So after trying some more new roms out I cant get back to stock rom bootloader unlocks and locks ok however I cant root phone
I have been following many different guides and this one worked.
Download XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf | 6.33 MB
Download FlashTool from below link, if you don’t have it.
Download flashtool-0.9.11.0-windows.exe
STEPS for ROOTING :- ( Below steps are for root 6.2.B.1.96 firmware Xperia S )
Workin on both Locked as well as UnLocked Bootloaders.
Enable USB Debugging and unknown sources option on your phone before proceeding. Do not use other kit version except V18.
Download Flashtool, Open it. Flash the “XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly.ftf” file on your Xperia S. It is the kernel of an old firmware of Xperia S which was rootable.
Reboot your Xperia S after flashing. Connect to PC in USB Debugging mode.
Do not forget to close FLASHTOOL. CLOSE FLASHTOOL , before proceeding next step or you will get serious error.
Extract the downloaded “DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip” file and run the “runme_win” file.
Follow onscreen instructions to root Xperia S and once it is rooted, device will reboot. Verify that you are rooted, run SuperSU app.
Now switch off your Xperia S. OPEN FLASHTOOL.
Now you need to flash “XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_KernelOnly.ftf ” file in order to get back the true kernel of Android 4.1.2 6.2.B.1.96 firmware of Xperia S.
After flashing, disconnect the phone from PC, reboot it and your Xperia S is now rooted and we are done with rooting Xperia S 6.2.B.1.96 firmware.
However Now trying to repeat to fix and get rooted and other stuff back on phone doesn't reboot and add super user.
Before I got the following
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now it just goes though the commands like it is doing something says done but does not reboot or show the popup like that.
Anyone got a working guide how to lock boot loader up proper n good think already done that and checked and says bootloader unlockable YES as as posed to unlocked

you just need to restore your kernel, now open your flashtool and select the bolt icon. after that choose flash mode and choose your latest firmware.

uncheck list your cache and data to avoid format data after flash kernel
after that you can flash this requirement on your ftf file. i mean you don't need to flash all requirement file.
1. kernel
2. FOTA
3. Baseband
4. system
5. elabel
after that choose flash and connect your device to flashmode and wait for flashing progress and reboot your device.
but in my knowledge you need to full wipe after unlock bootloader, but i hope this will work without wipe data
