P/s : i try to flash this ROM but nothing happens , it still not detect my sim card
You might be putting in your sim card the wrong way. If that's not the problem, just use flashtool and use an ftf to go back to stock or use recovery and back up if you made one. If you want to install custom roms on an r800a, install a r800i firmware using flashtool first. I have an r800a and I can tell you that you will get bootloops unless you install an r800i firmware.

so. can u give me the stock FW for R800a ???

Try any r800a or r800i firmware here and update with pc companion if it's too outdated, I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692663 The enhanced .58 one is good if your going to install a rom over it as soon as possible (the language and keyboard settings are a bit weird). Good luck.

Guys can any one plz tel me how do i get back to factory original OS from unlocked bootloader and custom room, i got no idea how to restore back to factory original os, help plz.
Flash the ftf file using flashtool. You need to know which firmware your phone originally had on it.

need firmware
can you post a link for below firmware
sony ericsson LT18i
SI 1253-9721
well you need to know the orignal os that was installed on the phone by default.
consider this. if your phone came with the dafault firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62 and you install 4.0.2.A.0.42/58 then it will not work on your phone( although it wont get bricked)however, if it came with 4.0.2.A.0.42 then you would be sucess fully able to install gingerbread:- 4.0.2.A.0.42, 4.0.2.A.0.58, 4.0.2.A.0.62
as well as ics :- 4.1.a.0.562, 4.1.b.0.431
you need to download any 1 firmware you like and then flash it using flashtool
the links to firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22105604
the tutorial of using flashtool http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutorial-how-to-flash-a-firmware-using-flashtool-on-xperia-arc/
however remember you need to install all the required drivers for flashing a ftf firmware. although this tutorial is old, the method of flashing is more or less the same. best of luck if u need any more help, i will be glad to help you.

Just use flashtool to flash the rom again man, i think u should flash the stock rom firs
If it's ok, then flash your custom rom
I am running the official rom no problem it's not allowing me to flash any custom roms in the recovery mod. I cam reboot to recovery either by x-part or holding the menu key while it start.:crying:

You unlock your boot loader with the test point, not root. So please be clear about what you've actually done.

If you want to use a custom ROM then 9 times out of 10 you'll need to use a specific kernel, usually one that comes with CWM.
I know exactly how to flash custom rom, I am coming from MT4G the problem after you flash the rom the phone dosn't boot in recovery it just stay at sony logo, even when i try to boot in fastboot mod dosn't allow me only booting in recovery.

Try this....
1. Flash ur stock ICS firmware 4.1.B.431 ... 2. Don't let it upgrade to the latest firmware (in Canada I got N update that changed my firmware to 4.1.**.587 or something like that)
3. Then flash ur phone with the rootable firmware of xperia generic world version...
4. Flash the kernels for that firmware .. even the stock ICS would be OK..
5. Root the phone using Doomlords method of rooting... Its the best...!
6. At last reboot ur phone ..n violaaa...
U have a completely rooted phone ..!
P.s. make sure u see the log while u root ur phone . It may say rooted successly even if it had some errors... so make sure other are no errors..!
I had the same problem when I decided to unlock boot loader n root it for the first time ... so no worries my friend ...try this .. n it will work for sure.. !

I think you can't flash custom rom from flash tool it must be flashed from you sd card because it is a zip file. I tried to flash recovery mode you supplied the link with no go.
So u did root and installed cwm by the link I gave right ?
N it showed that .. installation complete.. ?
N now ..the problem is ..
that u cannot enter recovery mode
To flash a custom ROM ?
Am I right ?

If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.
> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Android Development > [KERNEL][PLAY] LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9][LINARO 4.7.3][19-06-13]
It's working fine for me.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.
But i'm sure that Emma (son'ys flashtool for unlocked BL) will work. Here is a link
Hi, I root my xperia play (verizon version) just fine and has been using custom ROM for a while and it all works great. but then I wanted to try a different ROM and so I install NexPlay ROM via recovery menu. The installation process was fine and it went through but when the phone is rebooted it just stucks at the sony ericssons logo and won't go anywhere, I can't turn off the phone or anything and i can't get back into recovery mode. Please help. I need this back to working fast!

For a better support you should tell us which kernel are you using, and which ROM you were using before flashing NeXPLay.
If you just made the mistake of installing NeXPay (ICs ROM) on a GB kernel, then you don't need to reset everything with flashtool.
thanks but i just flashed my verizon rom with flashtool and that seems to get me back...
now which custom firmware/rom is the best for R800x?

Depends on how you use your phone. If you are a gamer then you should try a LuPuS kernel and a Gingerbread ROM but if you don't care about gaming then you can try a ICs ROM and which kernel you prefer.
If you need some in choosing one of the many ICs/GB ROMs, just ask
