Play gets stuck on sony ericsson text - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heya guys, my issue is that my play basically gets stuck on the black screen with white sony ericsson text upon booting. However if it's charging or connected to my laptop it will boot, but the touch screen doesn't work. Also, if i disconnect the Play it restarts and goes straight to the sony ericsson text again :/ Does anyone have any experience or know how to fix this? I was not trying to flash any kernel or anything (locked bootloader), my phone was simply charging. I unplugged it and then the fun started :/ Thanks.

Send it back for repair
Ouch sounds bad, well if you were only charging it and you're bootloader is locked I'd try sending back to Sony or wherever you bought it from for repair

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Took me ages to get any sense outta meteor customer care though, cause I bought it off them.

U can try flashing it to the latest update from sony,
I guess it was a bootloop, just flashing it will make u have a new phone

[Q] Upside down boot image on stock Play 4G? Normal or no?

I just got my Play this afternoon and when I turned it on the Sony Ericsson logo flashed upside down for a second and then showed normally. Is that something that happens or is there something wrong with my phone? I dont notice any problems with it, its just kinda worrisome.
Also, I love the phone, so as long as it isnt affecting anything else I probably wont send it in. Im just curious if this is normal or has happened to anyone else. Like I said, everything is stock and it did this right out of the box from ATT. And it is not a refurb unit, its brand new.
Thanks for any replies.
This is probably due to corrupted boot animation. However, u can fix that if your phone is rooted by replacing the bootanimation.zip

OR by reflashing which wont void your warranty if done through Sony Ericsson Pc Suite (go to update and then click repair when the option repairs to do so) or you can use Sony Ericsson Update Service
Awesome, thanks for the replies guys. I'll probably get into flashing roms and rooting after a while, I want to screenshot and I need root for that so it wont be long.
You dont need root for screenshots, Sony implemented this in. Version 2.3.4 , hold the power button to do this

I was thinking maybe they did since my LG Thrill had the feature, I tried home and lock and home and back and just figured it wasnt in the build. Thanks for the info, Im learning all over the place today!

Infinite bootloop

Hello guys, I had a problem with my phone. I took a photo and the phone restarted alone. Then it started to bootloop infinte times. I do the reset button trick, I repaired with Xperia Companion, I flashed with Flashtool and it keeps bootloping every time. I send you two photos, the first shows you that it's switching on and the second where it does the bootloop with 3 red lights flashing. Can you help me?, or it's something hardware related?. In Argentina can't fix it if it's hardware because this phone wasn't launched in my country.
Okay something is going here. Sony Kill Switch activated in all Z5P?? because Why is everyone having this issue at the same time after like 5 years of smooth sailing?
OP needs to clarify what has been tried. Did you try all the basic reset tricks and holding buttons etc? if you did your last resort will be be allow boot loop to continue until drained. Then fully recharge and use the volume keys to skip the sony logo and boot to the android swirly flash screen thing. Safe boot or fast boot whatever it is
I starting to see a trend with the dates these issues are happening... hopefully this is just a user that has not tried the basics.
p.s.#Only responding coz noone else has bothered

Thank you very much for your time. Yes I did it all, buttons combination, batery drain, repair with Xperia companion and finally flashing again the first Android version. Anything worked. I don't know what more to do.

Yesterday i Flashed my first Sony device. It failed 3 times before i got it to work.
Fist it failed on the PC, Then 2nd time It bootlooped. 3rd Time it finally installed applications. Then Bootlooped 1 more time.
I now have A Sony Z5 with 6.01. I am amazed that it worked but there are issues with both Sony phones and Xperifirm that seem to make it hit or miss
I am going to return my XZ3 becuase it is horrible. The Z5 Premium is by far the best Sony avilable. It is worth sending to SONY for repairs
@op
- Try again with Xperifirm / FlashTool 0.9.25
I did it, nothing happen. Same at always.
I keep it switched off some months to see if it starts again alone with the time but no.
It's keep bootloading.
