Hey everyone,
i have a rooted xperia play r800i and i was wondering if there are some intructions on how to install ics on my phone with a locked bootloader?
thanks if you respond!!!
Short answer: you can't flash ICS with the bootloader locked.
Workaround: however some people say you can use the ICS rom of a Xperia Neo L because is basicly a Xperia Play without the gamepad, but with its rom the touchpads and the camera of the Xperia Play don't work.
You probably won't be able to get ICS on a locked bootoader (except maybe Neo L), because it requires a different kernel. To get a different kernel, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, but seeing as you have a R800i, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Just unlock your bootloader.

What exactly are you looking for?
If it's 2.3.4, it's not our yet.
If it's 2.3.3, nobody has it available for download
If it's 2.3.2, check the development section in the r800x state of development thread, it's there.
SEUS/Pc Companion are useless to the R800x, verizon is in control of firmware updates (i.e. through mobicare) so all R800x users are out in the cold without a unlocked bootloader.

love my phone. but it's almost 2 years old. my phone is stock but rooted and it runs excellent since i've cleared all the bloat.
i've got a build 3.0.1.b.0.270
android version 2.3.3
is there anyone happy with stock ics on their att play? if so, does everything work 100% (wifi, text messaging, internet)?
sorry for this newbie post to the experts but would appreciate help. thanks.
Atm there's no stock ics ics firmware... Most of them are modded roms from the original ics beta or ported from other devices... But first, UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER... If it's still locked you won't be able to flash any custom kernel or Rom...

To install ics you need to have your bootloader unlocked. Other than that your set to go with everything else.

On Krisdees Sony ICS Beta everything works great battery life with lupus 720 p ICS +GB......unlocking your boot loader is your primary objective...IdK if your being a r800a makes things different...as I am r800i
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
R800a and R800i are the same thing, it doesn't matter which in one you have... unlock your bootloader via zergrush and i recommend you to try either the express rom or the markpython rom, both have NXT looks... if you wanna try something a little different, try de hybrid rom by krisdee...
Have to pay

As far as I know, you have to pay to have your bootloader unlocked if you have the r800at. I recommend Jinx13, I got it done in about 10 minutes.

No you can unlock it via Sony's unlock site just follow their directions

rom: cm9 official
kernel: Turbo v3.1
You can not unlock your bootloader for free from the sony website if you have the R800at model.
Hi. I just got my Xperia S. It's cool and I want to keep it that way with DRM (in case of future reselling) So for now only locked bootloader. I have found some roms for locked BL, know how to root and probably install recovery. That's no problem. The point is, in Xperia P, we can flash kernels in zip in recovery (dunno if it requiers unlocked bl, tried only with unlocked). Do we have zip kernels here too? And if so, then is XS capable of flashing them on locked BL?
And is unlocking bl/rooting and applying tweaks profitable? Will I feel boost?

U can never change/flash kernels on locked bootloader, neither through cwm flashable zips nor fastboot..

All right. Lost drm means only track id, some walkman and bravia engine features lose? Warranty is obvious...

Yes, you will lost this things and of course you will lost your warranty. If you are going to sell it you must say to buyer that your phone doesn't have warranty.

Well,some users reported that after they unlock their bootloader,your BE isn't working...so I think nope...maybe just a software bug....

Lt28i ROMs work just fine. Flash them in flash
Just look for ROMs for locked and unlocked boot loaders and read the instructions

lt28h is fine. If you want to retain LTE, make sure you put a checkmark in the 'Exclude Baseband' box when using flashtool to upgrade.
Can you direct me to pages on unlocking bootloader/root and maybe even some jelly bean roms??
