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

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

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!!

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 guys,
I am trying to update a stock standard GB 2.3.6 LT15i for my boss.
I have tried doing it via PC Companion, but it seems to get stuck in an update loop. It says that an update is available, and starts to download files - but then goes back to the beginning of the process after about 20 minutes.
I have tried this on 2 different PC's, both Win 7 x64.
I would like to try update the phone using FlashTool now, but I am used to Samsung phones, so I am not sure of the steps.
I just wanna confirm if it is ok to flash this file via FlashTools -
LT15i- Generic GLobal World 4.1.0.B.587 (16/8/2012)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836071
I do not plan on rooting the phone, but I also want to know if this is gonna clean wipe the phone? I will do a backup in PC Companion.
Anything I might need to know? Do I need to worry about bootloaders?
Thanks in advance.
It's okay to flash that file with Flashtools. It's really easy and there is a very small chance to do anything to your phone. Even if you brick it it will be only a soft brick (0.0001% chance to soft-brick it) And yes, it will wipe the phone
You dont have to worry about bootloaders, as long as you flash stock sony roms there wont be any problems
Thanks malimukk, I'll give it a try this morning.
Remember to check the no final verification box or you will get an error message,the phone will be ok and will be updated.

It don't cause any probs with install but with flashtools it shows error. It may be fixed now with latest version, but when ics first came out there was prob with final verification.

Hi guys, as the title said, I want to root my new Xperia Play R800a, and I am very lost right now. Ultimately, my goal is to install Xperia NXT 2r1. I think that since I have the r800a version, I am not able unlock the bootloader, so I am ok with not having a custom kernel.
But the problem is, I'm totally lost right now. Could anyone show me a guide or something to what I'm supposed to do to start? That's all I'm asking.
What I HAVE done is downloaded everything they asked for me to download in the post, and have installed flashtools, but whenever I try flashing the firmware 4.0.2 enhanced, I am not able to do so. It is just stuck on a screen where it tells me to go to fastboot mode, but I go to fastboot mode, and for some reason it isn't recognized. (I know it's fastboot because the power button is glowing blue.) I think a driver might be installed incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to install it correctly after.
I'm sorry if my post isn't that helpful, I'll add any more information if you guys want me too.
Thanks in advance.

I flashed Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced, the one that they told me to flash in the guide.
I did notice however, that it said that it was for r800i. I just assumed it was universal. Is there a specific firmware I should be flashing for r800a?

I went to that link and downloaded and flashed R800a_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftfwith vendor partition NEWEST FTF, but the same thing happens when I try to root. It's like the button is unresponsive. Is there a specific ftf I was supposed to flash?
Alright found out the problem. Apparently there are two versions of flashtool. One version doesn't work while the other does. I honestly don't know what the difference is. But for other people who might be facing the same problem, if your flashtool has only three icons, Flash, Root, and check for SU permissions I think (it looks like a key), then you have the wrong version. Your flashtool should have 7 icons.
Doesn't Matter

Oh yes, I found that out a bit later. The problem was lying in the flashtools I was using. Once I got the right flashtools, I reflashed the previous firmware rooted it, installed the rom, and it all worked perfectly.
Device info:
Acro S running stock 6.2.b.1.96 with locked bootloader
This is what I believe is the process in short:
Flash 6.2.B.0.211 Kernel
Use DoomLord's one click root .bat
Flash 6.2.b.1.96 Kernel
I am getting stuck on the second step. The batch file says "LT26w (6.2.B.1.96) is not supported". My question is, shouldn't flashing a kernel change the build number? Am I goofing up somewhere? Feels stupid when the same thing works for everyone else so there are no similar posts.
Thank you for your time.

I'll be damned. Was using v16 instead of v18 of his easy rooting toolkit. Solved. Thanks man for pointing it out.
Great to hear you're sorted. I'm looking to get my Acro S rooted over the next week or two and I wondered if I could ask you a couple of quick questions please?
Did you back up your apps and data before rooting?
How did you get to flash the earlier FW? Flashtool seems to say disconnect usb, turn off, then press and hold the back button , the reconnect the usb lead and turn back on - I have tried this but nothing seems to happen
I have installed Flashtool and the adb drivers.
Any pointers you can give would be great.

Flashing .211 FW issue
Hi guys. I'm encountering an issue with my acro S that has .96 firmware. I've been trying to flash the .211 FW for a couple of times but still stuck with the .96. As per the threads abt flashing, it takes minutes but mine just takes a couple of seconds. As of the moment I deleted the flashtool and currently dloading it again. Just not sure that could be the problem. Any help?
First of all you flash the whole .96 firmware, then .211 kernel and then root (make sure unkown resources and usb debuggin checked) and watch on ur phone and accept superuser permission... then flash back .96 kernel....

Nope. No need. Since you are just flashing the kernel, you dont lose any data. If you are really new to this, it wouldnt hurt to take a backup, in case things go south.
In any case, the link ronin1728 posted looks great and hassle free.

Even if you flash the .211 kernel (NOT the whole firmware), the build number will still show as .96 but the easy rooting toolkit will read it as .211.
Check out ronin1728's link for an easier alternative.
Belated thanks for the advice folks,
I followed Ronins link to vroot and it worked like a charm

Hi, so I tried to flash (using fastboot) DooMsKernel v14, it all looked nice and good,
but after that I tried to restart/enter recovery mode, and nothing happened.
My PLAY only reacts to power button by vibrate, and can enter to fastboot.
I tried to flash it again and flash another ROM (CM9), nothing worked.
Any help please?
Its fairly impossibly to brick the play. Since it can get into fastboot bootloader must be unlocked flash both kernel and Rom to stock.

You have an unlocked bootloader just flash doom the kernel and put a Rom on your sd to install. Then first time you boot you press the back button or the menu one or something.and then doom kernel will let you select a Rom.

Ok, so now I try to root the PLAY again, using OneClickRoot. Only one problem - it gets stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
And I also tried OneClickRoot with my friend`s phone (LG Optimus Black) - same result, stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
Is this OneClickRoot`s problem`s, or it just suppose to take long time, or what?

The firat time you start doomkernel it will seem like your phone is bricked as soon as you press power atart pressing the back button and a screen will come up that will allow you to install a Rom off the sd card. I thought mune was bricked firat time. When doom starts the blue led starts its not flash its just what it does.
1. Turn on the phone
2. Press back button until Rom flashing screen pops up
3. Install Rom from sd
4. Boot rom

Most custom Roms are prerooted, so if you're going to install one anyway, you don't have to root your Play manually.
If you can't flash .ftf through flashtool, you could try another download source, had a similar problem a few months ago, many downloads simply didn't work. And using another USB port on my computer fixed my problem with the flash process getting stuck while flashing with flashtool, was strange, but solved the problem.
By the way, if this .238 is android 2.3.4 it probably can't be rooted, if you want stock rom with root you have to downgrade to 2.3.3
So is it qorking yet?

Well, I'm rooted with .238, but my problem is that google apps don't work - it tries to download apps and then stop the ddownload, without any error (Every app)..
So I thought I would try to install a costum ROM, problem is - I cant install recovery.. Tried a few methods, all didn't work.. 2 option, either I didn't succeed on download and installing the recovery, or I can't boot into it..
Any help pls?
