Develop Bugs

[Q] i did try search first but could find the answer..

yes i'm a noob and yes i'm sorry...
bit of info first.
phones been rooted using superoneclick
I unstalled some stock apps see below..
3D Flare
Bruce Lee
Crash Bandicoot
FIFA 10
Star Battalion
Tetris
The Sims 3
And some other apps which first owner installed i'm guessing but none of which came with the phone.
I used root Uninstaller (free ver.)and like a noob never backed up (small SDcard)
but today i found out if i want to update to future SE i will need to install them again.
found a link on another thread but the links seemed broke.
I have just rooted my phone to installed Rooted apps i don't want to mess around with bootloading or custom Rom right now.
ICS looks fine to me and i may want it if i can on a rooted device.
so my noob question is....
I would like to know how to install what i have removed if possible?
here is some phone info
lastest update.
Model R800i
Android ver 2.3.4
baseband ver 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Kernel ver 2.6.32.9-perf
Build number 4.0.2.A.0.42
Don't like asking and wearing the 'noob did bad hat'
please don't flame me and sorry if i forgot anything..
i managed superoneclick ok but thats about it..

You could use the forums and search the "Xperia Play Android Development" for a .zip of the stock 4.0.A.2.368 software and open the zip goto>System>Apps and copy the apks to your phone's memory card and install them,
or you can use this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221105&highlight=stock+2+3+4 and flash the orginal ROM using Flashtool. There are plenty of tutorials about Flashtool on Google and in the forums.
Once you've got the original ROM back, you can do a Titanium Backup and all that jazz to get root back.
Let me actually check to see if I have backups of those apps and I'll post them.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I don't have backups. But also just wanted to add that you can always install the latest SE update yourself once it comes out. Don't worry about not having those apps. You can flash it with Flashtool. Someone will post about it in "Xperia Play Android Development" once the official Android 4.0 is released and they will have instructions. Just search up how to flash custom roms and how to use flashtool until then.

thanks for reply but all the .zipFiles I found are now broke or removed.
wanted to stay away from Flashtools always have problem's with CMD stuff.
I guess by the time ICS comes out i might know a bit more.
so in short if i can find the apks for the stock apps i can install them using
Flashtool ?
is there no other way with just a rooted device ?
Just checked a backup of my Sd and couldn't see DIR System>Apps ? so is this on the phones memory ?

You can use a root explorer to access the system folder on your phone, any apk can be installed on your phone by enabling the unknown sources option, you don't need flashtool to do it.

No, you flash your entire system with Flashtool. I don't think there's a way to extract the apks from a .ftf file. If you had the zips yea u could just extract the apks and send them to ur phone and install or install them via flashtool or adb/fastboot.
Another option is to search Google for the apks for each one of the games you uninstalled. You could very likely find them that way.
Yes, it's on phone memory. If you have a root explorer app u can get to system. System directory is not on Sd. It's at /system. (One bak from Sdcard is the default directory where the System folder can be found.

Can't u jst find an exact firmware of ur phne n flash it via flashtool??
That'd be easier i thnk

Ok small update and question.
Thanks to justinchi I did google search and found a Apk for Bruce Lee game,installed it with root explorer form a new fold on sd root.
But I was wondering how I can move it to playstationpocket app ?
Does it have to be in the pocket like before for an update in the future ? Hope thats clear...

Well unfortunately, the ICS update for the PLAY has been cancelled for now:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...ream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/
But I don't think the Bruce Lee was in the Playstation Pocket App. It was in the Xperia Play launcher. If it isn't showing up there, try to use titanium backup to convert it to a system app and then reboot your phone. It's not sure to work, but I hope it does.
See my post on writing letter to Sony about the cancelled update:

Awesome, glad it worked. Yea, the Vita is a little disappointing right now, but there are a lot of great titles coming for it. I think it still has hope! Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice (though it's very eery), LittleBigPlanet, and others. They can't abandon their only real mobile gaming device.

Hi guys... 1 week ago i got my first android phone : an SE Xperia Arc lt15i ...
Ok .. So i updated it to ICS 4.0.4.587 with Sony PC Companion... Still no problems yet
I decided to root my phone because i wanted to use some apps that required root...
I started with this How To Root Xperia Arc/Arc S and running ICS Android 4.0.4 [4.1.B.0.431+4.1.B.0.587] ( from youtube .. i cant post links)
I mention that i`m a newbie at this chapter :angel:

Download the Sony Update Service and flash your phone with that software. It's easy to use, run it and you will see all the instructions

Did you get an error message on flashtool or did it just stop? If there was a message post it, if not retry with flashtool, it should still work even if the phone appears dead

Bro,I am new to xda.I've got one of this lt15i.Its on stock 4.0.4/4.1.B.0.587 and unlock bootloader says yes.
Does everyone here need to download Android SDK prior to flashing or rooting their devices?And when one does download the android SDK and run it on pcx64 it prompts to download java as well.Now I've got to files.So I double click on SDK and keeps prompting to download java.How do we overcome this as I believe it a must have application to connect both pc and device.I am stuck with these two downloads not knowing what to do next.
If there was a way kindly open a thread for newcomers to go into a post on how to get started on pc and then their device.
Thank you.

Hello, before I begin, I just want to thank you for your post is actually what finally gave me the final push to get an account here at xda. I know how it feels when you can't get a quick reply, or even worse, when you end up resorting to trial and error and brick your phone. So, I decided to create a new account to help people stuck in similar situations as well as to relieve the more experienced members of some of their load. Answering the same old questions can get pretty boring haha.
To answer your questions:
1) No, you will not require SDK if you're only seeking to root or flash your phone. Though, I have read some guides where they recommend you do so because you can also get the required usb driver files from there, though this is also not necessary.
2) I'm not too sure about your problem with Java, however, you do need to get it fixed because it is required for certain applications like flashtools. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I used to have similar problem with Java, albeit for other programs. Perhaps one of the more experienced members around would be of more help if the problem persists.
To end off, I'd just like to express that I do agree with your final sentiments. I also started on my android journey alone, and it was a bit of a hassle figuring stuff out, especially after I unlocked my bootloader and couldn't rely on SEUS to save my ass. Well, feel free to ask if you have any questions. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to explain some details in an easier-to-understand manner.

Just some quick guidance please (I did this about a year ago and forgot)

So I had a r800at a while back and the emulator gaming experience was unparalleled with any other device. Went onto the Asus padfone and then to the note 2 while using a ps3 controller but that setup just doesn't work for me 100% I kept thinking about how I used to play with the xperia play and it was just such a more compact package.
I picked up a r800i on craigslist for 80 bucks and wanted to root it again and go to the nxt rom. I still have everything installed on my computer. I just needed some quick guidance of how to root and install everything again. Also wasn't sure if the r800i root was different then the r800at.
I believe I used flashtool to do everything. But just needed a quick reminder please. Thank you.

I think u've already answer ur Q. Flashtool definitely able to root ur phone. Dont matter which letter u hav at the end of R800. But if want a much simple way, just unlock ur bootloader & flash a custom kernel. Not only u'll root ur phone, u'll also gain init.d support.
Regards,
Sdojoin

If you want to install NXT, you might just unlock the bootloader and install a kernel like Doomkernel. You can find tutorials here.

Thanks to both of you for the help.
I'll pass on the doomkernel. I didnt need it last time so I think I'll be fine. I wont be using the play as a phone this time purely as a portable emulator machine.
I'll read a bit at the links when I get home and reply if I need anymore help. I dont think I should ><

[Q] Xperia Play r800at Troubles

Hello, I was posting here because I've been having a great deal of difficulty really getting anything done with it. What I'd like to do is either unlock the bootloader, or at least root it to my computer to flash on a new ROM.
In order to root it, I was told to put it in MSC mode, allow unknown sources, and enable USB debuggin, all of which I've done. However, when I go to root it using either SuperOneClick, Doom method, or flashtool, I continually get errors, either saying ADB server is out of date, killing..., or in the case of the doom method that it cannot write any files because they are read only. Somebody mentioned you an overwrite your r800at with an r800i rom to make this work, but the link in that thread lead to some virus (I assume it was taken down a while ago). I put it to a stock AT&T ftf, and still no luck.
My problem lies in the fact that some of the threads I'm looking at are YEARS old at this point, most of the links are dead, and some of the advice is contradictory. I figured then that I could just get somebody to unlock it for money, but all the threads point to alejandrissimo, who I believe is now inactive.
All I would like is to root my phone and put on a new rom, preferably of ICS, with minimal difficulty. I've sunk something like 10 hours into it at this point, and now am the proud owner of a phone with the exact same firmware I started with. I've wiped my contacts like 8 times, and to be honest I'm just getting frustrated with the whole thing. I hate the idea of having bloatware all over my phone though.
So if anybody knows a good way either to root the r800at (and if possible could provide active links to the software), or somebody I could pay to unlock it and skip all this work, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading, have a good one.

I can't help you with unlocking bootloader (i have r800i with unlocked bootloader), but maybe i can help you with root
You didn't say what firmware are you using, but in general use Doomlord's zergrush method v4 for firmware .42 and below or Eroot on newer firmware (it's on chinese but it have one big button with word "ROOT" on it :silly: )
That is only for rooting and with that you can debloat stock firmware or use ROMs for locked bootloader.
SWM_installer V5 , should work on locked bootloader (once you get root) so you can flash custom GB roms.
To be able to install ICS/JB/CM/MIUI ROMS you must unlock your bootloader because they all don't work on stock GB kernel, and you need unlocked bootloader to be able to flash custom kernels
Here is some links, but i hope R800a users can help you more with unlocking bootloader

First, thank you for the very informative response. Here's some additional info, I am not sure if it will be helpful to you
My current Android version is the stock AT&T 2.3.3 and my build number is 3.0.1.b.0.285. I'm honestly not sure which of these things is helpful, but I'll try that Chinese rooting method. Got a long work shift tonight, but I'll report back later.
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it!

Any suggestions? Thanks

LG AS730
I have researched as much as i could on here for this model and basically find nothing useful. There is a post that shows a method to root but i could not get that process to work.just wanted to give my input. I used root genius and it rooted mutt phone just fine. Now if i could get lg to tell new how to unlock the boatloader i would be in business. I saw the email that one developer got from lg about oem unlock. This does not work on this model. It just reboots normally. Any help on how to unlock my boatloader would be appreciated.

Rooting Xperia Z
Sorry to ask this, but does your root work with an Xperia Z c6606 10.4.C.0.814 running android 4.3. The phone is from T-Mobile if that makes a difference. It is not unlocked. I'm brand new to rooting, but my warranty of one year just ended, so I wanted to try rooting. Also, does the root delete any data, like pictures? Sorry to bother you with this question I'm very unexperienced.

Just rooted an Xperia ZL C6506 to Android 4.3 using Bin4ry's v.36 root kit!
I have my 2nd unlocked Xperia ZL C6506 phone (after the 1st one fried)! I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers and the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating.
I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday, using Bin4ry's v.36 rooting toolkit. I'm on Android 4.3 now. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators). I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.)
Regardless, this rooting method saved me lots of grief and worked great. By the way, I tried all the options of the application, and the one that worked was option "0) New Z2 Root Method by cubeandcube (thanks man!)" [I think the developer's ID is actually "cubeundcube"]
Thanks Bin4ry for an awesome application!

[Q] Trouble with Bin4ry's Root [Please answer] [Kindle Fire 2]
About 4 days ago I had a perfectly working Kindle Fire (2nd Gen). But the all the apps I wanted all required root! I had a little look into rooting my Kindle Fire, and I stumbled across a YouTube video that led me to Bin4ry's topic. The video directed me to use the "Normal" option (Option 3 I believe??) so I went for it. An Interface came up on my Kindle came up telling me to backup my Kindle (So I did) and then another one came up telling me to restore it. The computer interface told me that restoring would do nothing, so I did. Then it rebooted my Kindle, and when it first loaded up, the first noticeable thing was that when it came to the LockScreen, the was no picture. "No Worries" I thought, and went to unlock my Kindle. Second observation. It was soooooooooooooo laggy, and e v e r y t h i n g m o v e d l i k e t h i s. Literally. I tapped a button, and it took thirty seconds for the button to tap. Then another minute to actually load somethinng. At this stage, I panicked. I had no idea what to do. I'm not sure if this is normal or anything. I also ran a check, AND I'M STILL NOT ROOTED!!! The good things are that
1: It's not bricked.
2: The Computer recognizes it as a USB device .
3: The Computer recognizes it as an ADB device.
4: I can navigate to the "Restore" button if I have to.
I would highly appreciate it if someone could please direct me how to fix this problem (Preferably without restoring). It would also be great if anyone could direct me to a valid Kindle Fire 2 rooting article. If you have got any questions about operating system, ect, just ask me.
Cheers
