Problem: with Flashtool - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashtool was working before, but now, the activity log on the UI doesn't display any text, and the flash mode isn't working properly. Before I was able to install from any firmware, but now I can only install one of them. Then the Flashmode button froze and the application couldn't be closed. After that, I restarted my computer, and when I went to reopen the application, I noticed the executables were gone, except for the 64 bit version. So then I reinstalled Flashtools again, and I am still having the same problems... Does anyone know how to solve this? I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I am still getting the EXACT same problem. It's really weird...

Lost access to copy protected apps after root + A2SD

Hi guys I rooted my desire using the live cd method, powered up my phone before installing a2sd and I could see all of my download history on the market with access to all apps. After this I booted into recovery using step2 on the live cd and installed A2SD. When I turned the phone on again all of the download history was gone and I can't see apps like Google Earth, National Rail etc.
I thought I did something wrong so I wiped the device and installed the rooted rom update again with a2sd at the same time. The problem still exists and nothing has changed.
Could you please help me because this is very annoying and I cant set up my phone the I want until this is resolved.
Very strange... Use Market enabler > http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_latest.html
install, apply new settings and reboot, problem solved
Thanks for the suggestion but the market enabler doesn't solve it, I tried it.
Another strange thing that I found is I have an .apk of CoPilot which I was using before rooting and when I tried installing it now it gives me an error "Application not installed".
I still haven't solved this problem and its really bugging me.
I un-rooted my phone and used a different google account with no luck. I still don't see some applications in the market.
Just to let you know I am in the UK using a generic sim free desire on 3 network. Could you please, please, please help me out. I am running out of options and I thought unrooting would fix it.
Weird issue you are describing. As far as I know it depends on the fingerprint of the build.prop in the ROM (and if Google added it to the white list(?)) or not.
Many people are using the rooted ROM (all the same build.prop) and they can access protected apps just fine. So probably the problem lies elsewhere.
I have a similar problem, before I rooted my device I could see all apps I bought in my g1 days. After I rooted first of all none showed up, after a day or so only a few showed up... rebooted a few more times (only ever flashed once using Windows with apps2sd) now I have a few I had before show up not all just a few and thats how its been since. weird. I had half results :/

Same problem here with one single application.
Had SlideIT paid version installed on stock firmware.
Once i rooted it gave me the message "application not installed" once i tried to install it.
Funny enough the SlideIT lite version is still able to install fine.
Definitely want it to work again, so i hope someone knows how to fix it
I tried a couple of different ROMs today and had this same problem, clicking My Downloads would just show a blank screen, and there was no "Top Paid Apps" tab. I tried unrooting, rerooting, nothing fixed it, until I found this;

Pushing that xml file (note the spelling mistake before you do it) fixed it all back up, no idea what caused it to get all messed up and why it wasn't fixed by wiping and reflashing.

I tried to push the file via adb shell in windows and got permission denied. Am I doing it right or do I need to root the phone again to be able to push that file because I have reverted back to the generic stock rom?
Mine was rooted when I pushed it, try re-rooting it and pushing it again I guess.
I finally got around to re-rooting it and tried your solution with pushing that file but no change to my market
Just to be clear I can see the Top Paid apps tab, but I cant access copy protected apps like Google Earth.

The application ROM Manager (process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpec

Hi,
I'd like to start off by saying that I've flashed my Desire numerous times and it works fine, but I recently flashed my brother in law's and it's been acting up.
I followed one of the noob guides (root, s-off with alpharev) and put bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img on the phone.
I then flashed CM 7.1 (and also a bunch of other version). The flashing works fine. I reboot and when I go to rom manager and click on download roms it gives me the error message: The application ROM Manager (process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpectedly.
Also if I flash google apps from recovery it flashes fine, but it crashes in CM.
What's I've tried:
-reflashing
-davlik
-fixing permissions
-redownloading all the files and reflashing (including md5 check)
I can't remove rom manager and reinstall it since it won't let me remove it.
Any ideas what I can do to fix this? I searched online and there is no concrete answer. Everybody seems to be guessing a solution, but so far no success for me.
Yes this is also the issue with my Desire and the solution is to reinstal Rom manager.
This worked for me.
Cheers
Nobody needs Rom Manager. All operations can be done with other and better software (recovery, GParted). Furthermore, it causes more problems than it solves.
So just uninstall it and never use it again.
but how do you uninstall it? there is no way to remove it from applications.
also google apps crashes when installed.
nevermind...now no error message anymore. No clue why.

[Q] Camera force closes

Hi there. I have an issue with my SE Arc LT15i camera.
The issue is that upon opening the camera app, the screen goes black and then i get a message after about 1-2 seconds saying:
Sorry!
The application Camera (process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
Force close is the only option given.
I've searched through xda and through google, and from what i understand, its not a device specific problem and there is no universal solution. I have:
- Cleared the camera cache
- Changed SD cards
- Completed a settings reset
- Completed a factory data reset
- Used SE PCC to 'Repair' the device
All of which have been unsuccessful. I am running stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 (2.3.4), with locked bootloader and it is also unrooted.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
Have you tried to reflash the firmware?
i'm a bit of a noob, but is reflashing the same as connecting to the PCC and restoring stock firmware? i've never changed the rom or anything, just the SE updates

Try repair function in PCC.
yup tried the repair function. contacted SE and they told me to use SEUS and update/repair the firmware. still no luck however. =/
do you guys think it might be a hardware problem then? I have gone into the service menu and testing the camera there causes the service menu to crash
I have the exact same problem with my LT18i. The problem has been intermittent, coming and going, but now it seems it is here to stay. I have tried doing a factory reset, switched SD-cards, cleared camera app data/cache, removed camera module to check for bad connections. Nothing has worked.
Searching the net gives no solution that works, but lots of thread with people having the same problem.
Has anyone found an actual solution or has any good info on the problem?
(please, no half-assed guessing - I've read tons of it already and I've tried it all... :angel

[Q] Accidentally deleted everything on Nexus 7 (2013)

Well, it all started when I rooted my nexus 7 and downloaded Sinless Rom on there, then i kept getting adds on websites and i always accidentally clicked them so i downloaded lucky patcher and some other adfree app, launched both of the adfree services, then a bit later i had to download something, and it went through adfly, and since it did the page would just come up as an error. So i deleted my lucky patcher and my other adfree app. and wiped my cache, that didnt work. So i went into advanced setting on my recovery and wiped the data, thinking it'd do something else, silly me. then i just said screw it, and wiped completely everything on there, i'm left with basically just my recovery. I've tried plugging the tablet into my computer with the drivers installed, and it doesn't recognize it, at all. So what do i do? my computer wont recognize the tablet i have plugged in.. so then i cant transfer files to it to flash Sinless again... I've tried many different driver installs, forums, i couldn't find anything.. If you have any suggestions. Please say so, Thank You.

Does it detect in bootloader mode? If so, just flash the stock image. As far as ads go, the way to fix that is AdAway. You can get the APK from there, or by using F-Droid.
Sadly it does not detect, bootloader, recovery, or Adb.
If you've got Recovery then you're all sorted. Just get a microUSB memory stick (or OTG cable) and copy the ROM you want to install on it. Recovery should detect it and mount it so from there you can install whatever you want

[Q] Google Playstore Broke?

Good morning! Alright. So. All I've done to my phone was Root it and get Xposed on it. Everything was completely fine until last night. Now, whenever I try to download anything from the Playstore, it just gets stuck on "Downloading". I've tried wiping its cache, its data, force closing it, reinstalling the update. Nothing seems to solve this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on this phone, and how they resolved it? I can't even update my applications, and I didn't even get a chance to Update my Phone, but now when I try to Scan for Updates, it just gets stuck searching :/
This happened to me at first. What worked for me for a couple days was to toggle airplane mode. Then, it started getting stuck again. So, I downloaded Beans GAPPS, and extracted Google Play services and Play Store.apk, and that seems to be working. Keep in mind, that not everything is going to work smoothly. If none of this works, look for the .apk and move it to your device and install it that way. Hope that helps, bud.
I tried Googling Beans GApps, but it seems like they haven't been updated in about a year. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
This has also been my problem since getting a pixel 2 xl almost a month ago. In fact, I wanted to make a thread about my issue earlier but I'm just too lazy! The only thing I did at first was to unlock the bootloader.
Now, I am completely stock without even root but my playstore downloads are stuck in "downloading" and usually the download starts after being stuck in this phase with about 15-30 minutes delay (which could even be hours before my download is finally started, so it's random). The funny thing is playstore lists my device certification status as "uncertified" in the settings. I have tried clearing cache+data of play services+play store+removing/adding my Google account. I also did a fresh and clean install of the May security update rom but all to no avail. I remember reading in another thread that Google may impose a 7 day lock or something for your Google account in these instances so at this point I am just waiting it out (only 3-4 more days remaining) to see if my problem goes away by itself, otherwise, I am pretty clueless as to what I should do next.
