Hi forum...
In the Sonyericsson X10 section, we have a flash util, so we can flash whatever firmware version we want...
Do something like that not exist for the desireHD ?

It's called radio S-OFF.

Thanks for your answer..
So there is no flashtool to use, in order to revert back to an older Rom like them we have available to our X10 phones ?
The x10 can be flashed with all kind of stock roms using a simple flashtool, and without any changes like Root and s-off things...
The tool probably act like Sonyericssons update service SEUS..
But to understand this correct, there is no way back at all for us who didn't think about it, and just updated to the latest firmware ?
I'm sorry for the questions, but many things is called something else, and looks completely different here at desire hd section, when I am used to the x10 terms...
So it is all a little confusing...

Take a look in the Android Development section of the DHD Forum and you will find all you need. You do need to get root and then RADIO S-OFF but there are two simple tools to achieve that. See HERE for the guide.
If u accepted the latest OTA and did not have radio S-OFF then there is no way back................at the moment.

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

Hi all, I am new to this phone and have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and installed lupas kernel v6. I have some questions, and have tried to find answers but am coming up empty. 1. My wifi will not connect, if there a fix? 2. I can't download anything with the stock browser, it immediately fails. Fix? 3. Is there A good daemon to control over clocking? 4. Any opinions on which room to install? I'm currently on 2.3.3 stock. Thank you so much, I am no noob but new to this phone and look forward to being an active part of this community.

There aren't many gb roms for r800x they are all stock based but if you want ics or jb I would recommend cm9 for ics or slim bean or pac rom for jb. A gooz stock based gb rom is gin2 blur but id wait till the 22nd for that one because there will be a new update

Yeah I tried that, had the same problems though, and also every time I rebooted my user installed apps would start disappearing, leads me to think some of my problems must be kernel related. I want a gingerbread one, hows cm7? Does ask the gaming stuff asstill work with it?

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

Try using doomkernel I'm using it now and the wifi works fine. Also don't forget to wipe everything after flashing a new kernel that might be the problem.

That was probably it, and by wipe e every thing, you mean data, cache, and dalvik? Does wiping data remove recovery? And I need to do this AFTER I flash the kernel and not BEFORE?

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

Wipe system is under mounts and storage. It says format system. But you don't need to do that.

i have just purchased an xperia play r800x from my local retail, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, not verizon, my phone is stuck on 2.3.3, and i really want to update to ICS but im really not sure what to do, i paid the $15 fee to get my bootloader unlocked from alejandrissimo, nice guy i might add, and im really needing some guidance on were to go now, any help would be awesome, and im sorry to jump this thread but i really didnt think the forums wanted 3 or 4 post of noob questions like mine, i dont want to mess my phone up and i dont have insurance on it, thanks in advance
First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.

All I've seen are jellybean and ics roms that I really don't want. I want service on my phone but don't want jellybean/ics because of it's performance compared to gb. Any good r800x gaming roms?
To answer your question. I have tried several roms both on the Verizon model and my current GSM model. Stock debliated with no v6 supercharger or scripts gains you the best performance. Especially on Verizon's as it was stock based firmware. I believe I still have my old nandroid backup laying around. Stock debloated 2.3.3. Do not get 2.3.4. VZ broke the Google sync and it was never fixed
Because 99% of the devs didn't have an r800x. And as Sony only released ICS as a beta for GSM it was never successfully ported to Verizon's model.
I owned an R800x before getting a GSM model.

Edit - This should be a stock debloated 2.3.3 for VZ with root.

It's a nandroid backup. Put it on your phone and boot into cwm and restore it like its a back up. You have to be on 2.3.3 first.

Sony has professional coders. Every custom rom I have installed have had bugs. I want a stable phone without problems. I will stick with stock and rootet from now on!
Happy for you !!
Thank you!
I don't see for what you asking for. Your question is: "why install custom rom?" and in your thread you have answered your question already..
Because I'm open for other views and experiences.
because sony stock roms are buggy, laggy and full of useless cr#p that only about 5% of people actually want and use

i'm on stock... it isn't laggy and the crap you can remove yourself if rooted...
I agree. Stock is smooth and there are guides that tell you what you can safely remove.
Guys,
Surely it all come down to choice.
If your happy with stock, stay with it.
If you want to root and remove the bloatware do it.
If you wanna run custom Rom's flash em.
That's why android is the best mobile OS ever, cause you have the choice to do what you want.

Custom roms are just welcome while the authors are still alive!! So you can ask for a bug solution!!
