Please help! Disconnect phone and try again?
Try this UK firmware: Baseband 64
https://rapidshare.com/files/698194045/R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62__1253-4437_.ftf
Works for me all the time! No errors and a good firmware
Also are you sure it's unlocked as in bootloader unlocked and not just rooted?
Go to the directory of flashtool and in drivers make sure Flashtool-drivers.exe is installed fully
Good luck
Bootloader is unlocked via Official SE page.
Finally managed to flash Enchanced .58 v2, but im trying to get back to stock .42 UK Generic.
When i try to load .ftf in flashtool, clicking at file in flashmode window. There are no files shown up at right side, drag&drop gives message : Flashing Aborted
Do u get any kinda error ...or it just freezes....???
try checking the notification light...if its still on or it goes off...
And have u tried any other firmware...?
try changing the kernel....perform a factory reset and clean all the cache ...and then try flashing again....
I have this issue usually reboot, change usb socket or close firewall help for me atleast.
I am going to write a noob friendly flashtool guide for XDA and my website soon.

So yeah first of all i'm massive dong!
now we got that out of the way. i wanted to install a custom rom to my play. not knowing much about it i got a friend who's into thw whole custom roms etc to help.
he guided me thought it and said it would be ok to flash a CWM rom onto the play without unlocking the bootloader so i did. now the phone wont swich on just the sony ericsson logo and then just a triangle symbol then nothing.
looking about i tried using flashtool and the generic firmware ftf file and it kees failing at 61% *Log file at the bottom* ive also tried sonys own repair applications and for some reason it wont even open. so yeah pretty sure we've duffed the thing but heck thats why i came to you lot!
any help from you fine lot would be extremely appreciated and i thank you for reading.
and yes im a noob, fool,herpa derp etc etc etc.

Your play is not dead ;-).
I don't why but for some reasons, I can't use all the Stock ftf's to get my play back to stock. For me only the HK version really works.
So maybe just switch the ftf file, restart pc first, and see if it gets onto your play.
Have you installed the drivers that comes with flashtool ?
- > But yeah, Flashtool + Stock rom ftf is the way to go.
For the future. Roms sometime work on locked bootloaders and others will not. Always read the dev's thread first . Saves a whole lot of trouble.

Stayed up all night and eventually got a 2.3.2 ftf file to fully install then had to install a proper 2.3.4 ftf and update through the installed update manager but i'm back up and running!
see we did read the rom thread but there was no install instructions at the start just the files and screenshots :S it was this one here we were gonna do the kernel switch after cause he said it would be fine to flash it first then do the kernel later on :S
hey guys, everytime i try to flash the doomlord kernel i always get this message can anyody explain this too me as i am a n00b. Thanks

and please explain it to me like a two year old.
Hold On!!! :laugh: Are you using flash tool to flash boot.img(I think it's not possibile)?? You have to use FastBoot! I remeber you the procedure... Take the kernel put it in c:/program files/android /android /plaform-tools Then open PROMPT and go to the path i wrote first...Then use comand FASTBOOT.EXE FLASH BOOT BOOT_NAME.IMG
but i cant get into fastboot mode and im not rooted

you don't need root to go in fastboot mode ...maybe just unloaked bootloader ! Try this procedure if you have unlocked bootloader
Hi,
plz help me make my phone working again. I wanted to flash cm 10 after manged to flash cm9. cm 9 ran after trying everything out for hours. Today i downloaded cm10 and flashed the kernel. after that i wasnt able to open the bootloader, so i flashed cm9 kernel again. That worked so far. i was able to open bootloader again, but it showed an failure notice whilst installing cm 9.
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "r800i" ......" this is copied with the endings r800i/a/at and zeus
E: Error in sd /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

If you're able to flash, you're not bricked. One thing is to make sure you are clearing data, cache and dalvik. That is often the root to the sort of issues you have had. My recommendation would be to find the correct ftf file for your model of Play and flash it back to stock. Get that working first, then go with CM10 if you like.

Hi I think you are flashing wrong file line 5 (03/044/2013 12:44:33 - INFO - Selected Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf) you need a stock ftf file!
I have used R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf file before found on this site somewhere might be wrong but would try flashing that file hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:
There is a ftf collection here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399

Scroll down to the downloads section.
thanks for that information, but i tried flashing 2 files, at first the relock bootloader ftf. because i read somewhere that flashing firmware with open botloader with "OTA" will brick your phone. so i wanted to be save and locked bl before flashing firmware. if you read on into log there is another ftf. and a failure notice. because i tried today so many things, my accu is fully empty (3 times red led blinking) so i hope itll load a bit tonight and i can go on trying to flash cm 9 tomorrow again. but this file should be stock firmware isnt it?: 03/045/2013 12:45:01 - INFO - Selected Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
its from uk, im from germany, but only want to boot once and than flash cm9, so i dont worry bout that. last flahing try come further than log posted already i think. ill try flashing that file tomorrow again, cause i think that flashing failed cause of battery was too low.
log of last try:

(i translated error 31, cuz of it was originaly in german)
I'm sure as long as the led works theres life in it
Maybe battery dead

Strange but true, the dreaded red light of death. To fix it u will need a spare micro usb.
→ Cut micro usb on the micro end.
→ Strip back the plastic to expose wires black(negative) red(positive)
→ get sticky tape an connect it to the positive and negative terminals on battery(they are marked)
→ plug it in to wall socket
→ 3hours or so battery should be ready to go
→ phone SHOULD boot normally
Its happened to me and one of my mates. Both our devices fixed this way, but up to u if u want to take the chance of ruining a micro usb

thats a strange way of loading battery. Luckily if got 2 usb cabels for my play, so ill give it a try. but my phone wont boot after doeing this, it will only give me the chance to try to repair it. an mobile without working rom wont boot i think. its unlogical that i cant load a phone without an working rom. i hope i dont make me crunchy if i connect microusb with electricity.

Ok goodstuff, just be careful and dont plug phone in untill u have the sticky tape on the battery. When your phone has enough battery then u can flash the ftf via flashtool

there are 4 cabels in my usb cabel, one is red, one black, one green and one gray/white and many metalstripes around them. do i have to connect the green and grey one also, or only the other both?
Off-topic:

EDIT:
i hope i did it right, ill see if i did it or not in a few hours. big thanks to all of you, i hope my play will boot soon

Good luck! By the way don't think you needed to have the battery in the phone to charge that way?Might damage phone more! Back to original problem can you get into recovery?(once battery full lol) if you can daft question but are you flashing cm9 from zip on sd card?Also can you flash other kernel's with fastboot ,DoomLords,Lupus,etc if you can try some of these and rom's to go with them.Get your phone stable with a rom before trying cm9/10 again.Also don't worry about locking your bootloader again as long as you do not update over the air you will be fine.I think your problems started when you tried to lock your bootloader again.:fingers-crossed:
Ye looks good but u dont needto have battery connected into phone as its the battery your charging.
Let me know how it goes

battery isnt connected to phone, its only laying into
EDIT:
@tallman, thanks, i hope i wont damage all
i flashed kernel and came into bootloader, but it showed failure notice i posted on first page of thread.
i hope i can flash stock firmware with full battery. after that ill try to flash cm9 again.
and yes, originally nonbooting was due to relocked bootloader
Edit2:
didnt worked, 3 red leds are there again. i think the cabels, especially the - cabel hadnt enough contact with the battery. do anyone know any tricks doing this better?
Edit3:
i cut now more of the isolation of the red and black cable away, so that i have more metalcabel to fix it on the battery. lets see if it loads now
If that don't work you can always buy a battery

i dont wanna buy a new battery if theres any other way.
maybe that would work: Sony Ericsson EP900
problem is that i cant find it anywhere. its on amazon, but its not available. buying a new battery isnt a problem itself, but i would like to buy it at a store, not via internet. and i cant find an market where i can buy an battery for xplay
Edit:
i hope it works now. i couldnt fix the cabels on the battery contacts with tape. now i pressed them onto the contacts and pushed battery into my phone. so theres an constant pressure and it loads hopefully
Weird I had same flashtool error the other day but it while flashing phoenix ftf and seemed to still be working, wonder if it windows 8 causing issues for me, different version of flashtool?

ive got win 7, and what version of flashtool do u have? i hope i can flash stock firmware today. Yesterday i couldnt do that because flash- and fastboot modes were only stable for 20 seconds or so, after this time green/blue led expired and my phone didnt showed any action
EDIT:
i think battery charged now, but i think also that i cut the wrong micro usbcable. one is thin and long, one is thick and big. i cut the short one because i thought they are the same cable. now my netbook doesnt installs the drivers for the cable, it only says "unknown device". with the other cable that i cut it worked. so ill have to buy a new cable and a new battery if i can find them anywhere. i hope ill be able to go to the nearest city where i can buy one. this will take some time because im living far away of next city, and my mother, wich drives there at least once a week is sick at the moment. so i havent got the opportunity to buy one the next few days :-c
Edit 2:
i got an new usb cable now. i was able to unlock bootloader and flash cm9kernel. now im trying to flash stock firmware just to make sure that my phone still works normally. than ill try to flash cm9 completely
Edit3:
cm9 runs now. great! bit i cant write anything with the virtual keyboard, and an phone without keyboard is completely useless. can anyone help me making the keyboard opening?
last edit:
the bug that my keyboard didnt opened was because i installed the wrong gapps. i installed jelly bean gapps, with ics gapps all works perfect
for returning to CM 9

Hi,
plz help me make my phone working again. I wanted to flash cm 10 after manged to flash cm9. cm 9 ran after trying everything out for hours. Today i downloaded cm10 and flashed the kernel. after that i wasnt able to open the bootloader, so i flashed cm9 kernel again. That worked so far. i was able to open bootloader again, but it showed an failure notice whilst installing cm 9.
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "r800i" ......" this is copied with the endings r800i/a/at and zeus
E: Error in sd /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried it a few times. Flashed cm 10 kernel, flashed cm9 kernel back, but its always the same failure notice. I would like to use cm9 again, it was good at all, but i wanted to update cm10 today. Please give me an how-to what to do unbricking my play.

I think you are very new to mod world and suggest you that first know the terminology of mobile developing fully like kernel, ROM, bootloader, factory (or Stock ROM) , baseband, android versions, custom ROM, what CM is actually etc etc before trying to kill ur phone!!!!(joking)...
same happened to me before a few days on my xperia play R800i phone but I was successful in restoring it back to CM 9.1.0 after unsuccessful try of restoring it to factory(Stock) ROM that came with it from sonyericsson.
Though there are many more experienced memebers but try mine at least once no harm...
1. make sure ur battery is full or 70% at least
2. put the CM9 ROM u downloaded in SD card in home directory(home means just put inside SD without making any folder on SD card)
3. enter into recovry mode (i assume you have clockworkmod recovery already installed)
4.do factory wipe/reset and then cache wipe
5.do dalvik cache wipe (u can do step 4 & 5 one or two times just to be in safe side)
6.install zip file CM9 (make sure you have stable version only) from SD card
7. reboot phone
I hope you should be successful now step 4 & 5 is important to wipe any mess that was created by CM10 if not successful then move the battery from phone wait for about 2-3 minutes and try again above steps u should succeed. good luck!!
