Im using gin2jellybean on my once r800at now r800i locked boot loader and everything is perfect, even better than with the stock rom.
not sure though if it works on R800x.

Correct these roms that are listed from this poster do not work with the r800x. You will get a bootloop. Since your bootloader is locked your stuck with what you have. Since you have r800x there is currently no other gb locked roms. Most of the gb locked roms only support the GSM xperia plays.

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 ?

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.

You can. Just look for the ROMs with locked bootloader instructions.

+1 on that, make sure it says for locked bootloaders otherwise, you'll be up **** creek w/o a paddle lol. Look into getting your bootloader unlocked sometime, it's well worth the $24
Might be too late but make sure the ROMs are for CDMA and not GSM if you're on the R800x. Some have CDMA patches you need to flash.

You have to unlock your bootloader because that ROM requires you to flash a custom kernel.
The thread explicitly states you need an unlocked bootloader, yet you still have to ask?

Eh, maybe a bit harsh. In OP's defense, most of the talk around here about bootloader unlocking is concerning ICS ROMs. Probably just wanted to make sure since that ROM is based on stock.
Actually the rom might work witn unlocked boot loader, check out the 54 page

Use stock kernel and you'd be fine.
Does that mean if I am running stock Verizon I will be fine?

Use CWM to flash ROMs. Use Fastboot to flash kernels.
So that's a yes?

Yes...be sure you do a backup first. Since you stated you are on 2.3.3 you'll be OK.

This has been said many times... It's not possible because a custom kernel needs to be flashed, and that special partition is locked by the bootloader and cannot be written to when locked.
I c i cant unlock my plays bootloader as testpoints dont register so im stuck on stock 2.3.3 with minimal roms to use

Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?
You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms

If I unlock it using that method. I've read the forums. I just need to get flash tool then and pick a rom I want to use. Most roms come with the clockwork recovery from what I'm seeing.
