I recently came into the possession of an Xperia Play and I have been left confused by the situation. The touch screen does not work but the buttons do... It is running the default modded Sony version of Android, It is a few months old and I have a feeling that it is a software problem rather than a hardware problem. I am wondering if there is any rooting method that would be suitable for my situation or should I just give up on the phone?
Any help would be appreciated
flash back to stock and check the touchscreen,

It's not rooted and it's already running the stock version of aneroid. I'm trying to figure out if I could root it without being able to access the phone's settings. I believe installing third party apps is enabled. Should I just try superoneclick or would I risk bricking it
Yii don't need to have it rooted to flash back to stock...just download the stock.ftf and flash it via flashtool

There's a problem with that too. Flashtool wont recognise that there's a device connected since I can access the "Allow USB" on my phone Can you think of any ways around that?

You'll probably want to include more information so that others will know how to help you. Such as what all you've tried, what your phones is doing, what software version it had, etc.

Try flashing a fresh firmware. You may not be able to boot, but flash mode should still work.
If you need firmware files use the link in my signature.

You'll need FlashTool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
And the original firmware (.ftf file): http://www.xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/234-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
1.) Install the FlashTool and software, it will come with drivers for your phone.
2.) Power your phone off.
3.) Hold down the BACK button and plug the USB cable in from computer to phone.
4.) You should see a green LED, meaning you're in Flash Mode.
5.)From there can choose to flash the firmware of your choice (.ftf file).
The FlashTool software is fairly simple to use. The interface is very easy to understand, you shouldn't have any problem.

Hi Guys.
I need your help. I recently bought a second hand Xperia Arc S from a friend.
It had no problems what-so-ever. When I got it I factory data reset it.
It was working fine. Then I unlocked the bootloader rooted it and install cwm.
It was still fine. I then installed Doomlords kernal and installed Titanium Backup.
I removed all the apps and stuff i did not need or want. I made no ackups of the stock rom or any of the apps. Then today i Hard reset it to find i have no lockscreen i dont here a sound when i recive a call ot text and my camera no longer works also usb is not recognised by the phone, so i can't get to mass storage mode meaning i CAN'T USE SEUS OR PCC!. I then went off today and tried to flash the ICS .ftf and I got errors.
WHAT DO I DO! PLEASE HELP I'M A COMPLETE ANDROID NOOB
Thanks in advanced.

I had this problem when I tried to relock my bl and my mobile died for 5 hours cuz It was on unofficial kernel , I wasn't able to unlock it again , and not able to fix by Update service or pc companion ..
until I found that I should have just flashed the official Rom , then I was able to re-unlock the boot loader ..

Sony now has the ability to give out unlock codes for the Play, if my memory serves. You may want to try it. It will break any warranty you have, so be aware of that.

If you didnt unlock your bootloader before installing a custom rom. Idk how else to help you. You might have to send off your xperia play to Sony.

Yes use his flashtool. But the real question can you use it if your bootloader is locked.
works on both
If a boot loader is locked it means its intact hense the word locked. So the phone boots so all you have to do is..
Download your stock ftf file for you phone.
Hold the back button when you connect your phone and flash your firmware back. Light should turn green.
If it don't hold the power button while you connect it Sonay used this method to put it in the first time.i

Hi
I was hoping you could help me. I rooted my play and was following a youtube video as descibed. I couldn't attach the link because I am a new member. It was the new ics 4.0.4 from the android doctor - 100% bug free gaming rom. I had difficulty in flash tools when i needed to go into fastboot mode to install the Lupus kernel. So I installed the cwm mode from the internet and tried to install the ics from its recovery mode. Now I just get the sony logo, then the screen goes black. It is still on. I have reinstalled flashtools and have seen some stock roms on this site to download. The problem I have is when I select the rom to flash, whilst it recognises that my phone is in flash mode, I get a error flash cancelled. I have tried 3 different stock roms. I am in the process of downloading Emma - a flashtool from Sony. Hopefully my phone is not screwed. It was on 2.3.4. One week old unlocked rx800i. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..
Tommy

You guys remember about 2011 June, a problem came up with unlocked bootloader and OTA update. the first fix that came out broke the radio rom or something so your phone won't accept any sim but will boot and be like a psp or media player. well. that happened to me. and 2 years down the line, i'm still with my play hoping someone could come up with a solution for that.
boots up fine. plays games and audio video no probs but still can't accept any sim in it.
Specs are as follows
model R800i
android version 2.3.4
baseband number 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-203028D-56
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #1
Build Number 4.0.2.A.0.42

Do you have R800a model? Did you unlocked your bootloader with testpoint?
Also, try back usb port on your motherboard, not front ones
Thanks for your reply, Yes it is a R800a, i used DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, to unlock the phone,
i have tried back usb ports too, and well my pc does detect the device even if it is in recovery, but fastboot doesnt.

ZergRush method is just for rooting, not for "unlocking phone". Rooting is just a way to grant you root user right on your phone (and you can do it on locked bootloader, wich you obviously did). To be able to install custom kernel, you must first unlock bootloader
I don't have R800a model, so i can't help you much, but you can help yourself by reading sticky threads in "general" and "Q&A" sections to inform yourself about your phone, because R800a model is little specific (it doesn't have fastboot access, kernels can be flashed only in flash mode, and only when bootloader is unlocked via testpoint method)
Hey thanks, i didnt knew that, and well it seems that my phone is now unlocked i used wotanserver (pics below 7.99 UE not bad), i still dont have access to fastboot as you mention, now i download flashtool, and well, i am stuck what i have to do now? i have the kernel, the room, i dont know if im missing something.

You don't have fastboot, but you can stll flash kernel with flashtool in flasmode connected (back button pressed while plugging i phone)

What is "dead boot"?
Does phone vibrate when powered on?
Any lights on led?
What happened when you plug it PC? (nothing, something...)
What happened when you press search or back and plug it in pc?
What is your model? i,a,at,x?
How your phone died in first place?
Do you have locked/unlocked bootloader?
What was latest firmware/rom installed on phone?
did you overclock it before it died?
If you just saying "help me, my Play is dead" and not providing any info, then no one will be able to help you. Even worse, no one will be willing to even bother asking questions that you should say in first place...
And yes, one of reason your Play don't work is that motherboard is dead, so no one can help you. Just be ready for that answer even if you don't like it

Well, good news, you Play is not tottaly dead (green light means battery is charging and full)
Do you have drivers installed for phone?
-Try the following:
press and hold back button and while keeping it press connect usb to PC. Now right click on "my computer" and choose "manage". click on "device manager". Do you see anything named "sony" there. What exactly does it say? (something like sa102, unknown,etc...)
-Did you try to flash stock firmware with flashtool?
Guide where to download and use it can be found in thread [GUIDE][18th Dec][4Noobs] Flashing A FTF File Using Flashtool
And you can download firmware from Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S second post, choose file named R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf
-Did you tried to repair with PC companion?

It is not impossible, but as i said, for you could be very difficult (since you don't know much about Play's hardware and it's probelms)
As FaiselW said, try also to relock bootloader.
Bricking is common fault when doing OTA update on unlocked bootloader
