Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

You have to turn the phone on, when you see the first image of the android on the screen keep tapping the back button, you will get in trust me I had the same problem

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?
No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

Hi everyone:
First of all, i have a xperia play R800i.
My problem is, i wanted to install the android 4.0 rom on my phone, but i dont liked this so much, i losted all my apps, it wasn't working fine, so i wanted to restore it, when it was done (after flashing 4 times with the flashtool) the phone worked fine. but it was the release firmware, so i went to update it, but after this update the phone never booted up, the only thing he is doing is vibrating, it dont care how long you are pressing the power button, the only thing what the phone is doing, is just vibrating. I was trying in my flashtool to install other firmwares, but nothing worked ):
Can i fix this problem?
Can you get into recovery?
I can't really help much but it might be useful to know for someone who knows what they're doing and wants to help

if you performed update on unlocked bl play then you can't fix it by any other way xpt relocking bl and trim area repair
So my recommendations if you unlocked bl for free then relock it and flash any frmw via flashtool but if not then follow

So, I was having a problem where the app "App Trailers" wasn't playing anything, so I thought maybe my root was messing it up, so I followed a video step-by-step without watching it trough first. I was supposed to delete "su" but it was not there so I deleted "sh" and he showed in the next step, not to worry if it's not there go to xbin and I found it there and deleted su and everything related to it from "Xbin". After re-booting, everything was fine, and the root was removed, but my wifi just gave "error" no info. So I read a bit on the internet and it said to try clear cache and restore factory settings but that did not work, so I re-rooted, and still same problem, any tips?
-Thanks!
Bump.

If this won't work, reininstall the ROM.
On my stock rom this used to happen regulary with my new rom it stopped doing that.
And please, don't mess with superuser again, if you need to unroot then do it with an unroot.zip.
Still didn't work, and I cant install a new rom cause i cant download clockworkmod from app store

None of the tips worked, I need help please, now its more then wifi after trying this
I have an R00x from Verizon (CDMA). I bought this phone from a co-worker just to use it for emulators.
Learned many things while rooting this Xperia Play. I cant unlock the bootloader with out paying so i have to stick to GB roms from what I understand.
Rooted by downgrading to 2.3.3 with Flashtool and then using SuperOneClick. Tried using X-parts to install CWM but it would never let me get into recovery so i used ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 Easy installation and succesfully installed CWM.
Copied over Bane of Speed, rebooted to recovery and wiped Data And Factory Reset.
The next step said to wipe /system so i did (I remembered that since my bootloader is locked the recovery is installed in the system. This worried me)
Flashed the zip
Wiped cache and davlik and booted
Couldnt get past the Sony Ericsson and i waited 10mins or so, pulled the battery and couldnt get into recovery because I think it got wiped in /system
Had a minor heart attack thinking that i bricked it.
Was able to reinstall 2.3.3 with Flashtool, and re rooted and reinstalled recovery.
Are there special install instructions for a locked bootloader? Do you see a step where i went wrong?
Suggest another rom for a locked CDMA R00x? I dont need a super fancy rom, just want to play emulators and play store games
Thanks for reading this novel, any help would be appreciated.
This Rom wony work the signal for CDMA only GSM but it will work for locked and unlocked, IT must have been a download error, redownload and flash then report back!

I believe i successfully unlocked my bootloader by using Sonys MEID unlock. Flashed Lupus! and got into the lupus recovery. Proceeded to attempt to install your rom. follow same steps and i go to reboot system. When it reboots it automatically goes straight back to Lupus though.

I think i got it. after reading into it more i was just using the command (fastboot boot lupus.img) when i should have been using (fastboot flash boot Lupus.img)
Finally got Bane of Speed Installed!
Last couple of questions,
1. Joystiqs dont work in GB?
2. Can I use any GSM rom? (i dont care if the radios work, this is just an offline games phone for me(CDMA verizon))
Thank you very much for all your help guys! Sorry I derped and thought i had flashed the boot image when i was only temp running it
Lol, it's ok, first tone flashing is always hard!
1.) joysticks should work!
2.) Yes u can use any GSM Rom - I think, but their will be no service

Not all GSM roms work. Moat will leave your homescreen blank and unusable. In addition the only fix is to install xdarkmarios cdma patch/fix. Sorry can't remember the name of it off hand. It essentially fixes the blank homescreen so you should be able to flash any GSM rom. That's what I used on my old Verizon xperia play before switching to the GSM model.

Hey there!!
I've been using @elroysde 's MxS Rom on my XS [lb .96] for about two weeks...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125389&nocache=1
Excelent ROM!! I just have one problem, when i activate the hotspot, i get no internet on my laptop... Windows shows "limited connectivity"... I've tried it on different laptops, on win7, win8.1, and ubuntu... None of them seem to work...Ubuntu just connects and disconnects automatically...
I've flashed the .96 kernel over and over and nothing yet...
Any ideas?? This is the 1st time it happens to me on a Custom ROM...
I did full wipe before install, just like on another ROM.
Btw i already tried using a fixed ip address...didnt work...
Thanks in advance!!

There should be an option while flashing like "Skip MD5 Checksum" in cwm. Select that option and then you will be able to flash the file.
Hi!!
Well, about flashing the zip...Thank you so much, it worked, it was a problem with the zip verification and the md5 check... I already flashed it...yeahhh!!
But hotspot still doesnt work... i really dunno whats happening... I'm getting the very same messages on win 8.1 and Ubuntu...
Should i configure something on crossbreed?? I cant find anything about it on my cellphone.
Well, thanks anyway... I'll keep trying til it works hahahaha
