Flashtool
Try using flashtool to do it.
With psneuter or with zergRush?

It want work,you have to downgrade the kernel using flashtools then root,then upgrade back to 587.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY.
If you dont follow steps then you want have root.

Hi guys... I was looking here on the forum any solution for my problem and couldnt find it out, sorry if theres a topic about it, I couldn't find it.
I've got my Xperia Arc S 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.62 LT18i and I've rooted it with the doomlord tool, it worked fine and looked like if it rooted normally but now I can't install any app coz it says that its not root, needs to install supersu and/or busybox so ok, I've tried to install SuperSu but when I open it, it says that there is no binary files and cant install it... I've updated its version and also tried to reinstall but no way, always the same message. =/ Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks.
You can't root. 62 using the zergrush root.
Best way is to downgrade the kernel to. 42 then root, then upgrade to .62 either by ota or by using flashtools.

Can enlighten about the upgrade via flashtool as I lost root if upgrade via flashtool. Usually wipe is all tick, exclude & verfication is left untick when flash upgrade root .42 to .62?

Is there any way downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2?
I have a locked sim card. So i cant unlock the bootloader. And no good enough toturial on Remote Unlock.
Can i use flash tool to downgrade?

Don't think it will work.. Surely the kernel will not be compatible with 2.3.2 because it will still have the 2.3.4 one.. You can only flash kernel with unlocked bootloader.

Ya you can use flashtool to downgrade no problem

Flashtool replaces the kernel too.
flashtool 2.9.1 will flash and downgrade without bootloader,think of it as the PCCompanion
How do i remove root? Want the 4.0 update. But do we really get. Maybe we get it. But what if Sony Ericsson means that. We will make ics for Xperia PLAY?
I want original ICS. From SE
Btw could some one upload 2.3.2 link. And howto video? Locked sim card. It failed

I Cant understand what you just said... a video tutorial is not necessary since thousands of user did it without it.

Could someone post a 2.3.2 Eroupean ftf file?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
calm down dude.
I dont get why you want to downgrade anyways? Why dont you just stick to 2.3.4?
Yay
it worked. but its an UK ftf. does this go away when i gingerbreak. then ota root keeper? does it update to my original language. cant find Norwegian in Languages on my Xperia PLAY 2.3.2
Go to wotanserver.com and find your version then use gingerbreak if it's 2.3.2 or zergrush exploit if it's 2.3.3 or higher. They should have your region.

can downgrade sure CONFIRM!
May I know which process you use to downgrade to 2.3.2.
Wontanserver for sure. Good program, downloads and installs any firmware you want.
Hi Guys,im new here and forgive me for being a noob
Ok i have flashed the new [ROM]Generic R800i (Play) 4.0.2.A.0.62 but the problem now is i cant root my phone
before this i was on stock R800i ROM 2.3.4 and i managed to Root the phone with Superoneclick
I already tried SuperoneClick (software hang), Doomlord Easy Rooting Toolkit (it says cant copy any files and reboots my Play) and tried using Fastboot method but all failed.
Help?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, flash doomlords kernel it will root you device. ZergRush no longer works on the two newest firmwares.

I'm just curious but has anyone uncovered a way to root the Xperia play on Verizon running 2.3.4. The only way I've found is to downgrade to 2.3.3

No current way.

If you have the RootXperia.zip from Blagus (original clockwork mod recovery boot.img thread), you can flash that via Clockwork Mod. Make sure you have CWM installed first (unlocked bootloader).

There really is no point in using 2.3.4.
Unless you love new bloatware, no root, and many other problems
Use flashtool to get back to 2.3.3 and enjoy the fun!
i have root on 2.3.4 but i can't remember the steps. and yes there is no point on having 2.3.4
If you flash to 2.3.3, root it, and then update to 2.3.4 you will have rooted 2.3.4
Thats the good news
The bad news is, 2.3.4 doesn't connect to Google's servers properly (rooted or not) so you annoyingly can't use gtalk, and a couple other features, you have to manually refresh your Gmail, calendar, etc (It does it once per day otherwise), can no longer "buy apps" on the web and have them pushed to your phone automatically. And some apps with push notifications no longer notify.
Is the only way to unlock the bootloader for the r800x to use the paid method from unlock-bootloader.com ?
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
If you unlock your bootloader you can flash Super User zip from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
That is the classic and easiest way to root a device with an unlocked bootloader
Just instal it in recovery and your good to go!
Yes for the R800x the only BL unlock method is for 24$
I'm on 2.3.2, does 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 have access to the PS Store app?
I had thought about updating to a newer version, but damn, I can't believe all those issues with 2.3.4

You should ftf to 2.3.3. It is the most stable Gingerbread version for the R800x.
Or you can always use UK ROM
I have rooted my R800x wth the original gingerbreak exploit chew

Yes, I believe it is. It is so well worth it though
I really want 2.3.4. I couldn't give less f*cks about bloatware. They do nothing. I want the screenshot and other things they added. But Doom never updated his kernel to support the camera. Oh well.

I currently have DoomKernel v03 and the Mark Phyton ICS ROM installed on my phone with -56 baseband (Android version 4.0.4)
If I repair the phone via PC Companion will it return me to 2.3.4? b/c I'm pretty bored of this ROM now and I want to go back to normal again c:
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks

Google it, i remember saw it in one forum/blog out there when i lookin for .57 stock for my R800x
And the link is alive there

I suggest you .58 enhanced v2 over .62 bcoz it gives 420 mb data partition and easily rootable if you want to keep root.

Unlock your bootloader and try all that is write in the forum, because the stock support is the worst, a new firmware like the 6.1.A.2.55 will never arrive to your phone

Actually if you want the newest stock firmware, reinstall PC Companion, choose your language and Singapore as your country, you will get the .2.55 update, 1st check. in your own language.
