You didnt say what version xperia play is GSM or CDMA. If your on the CDMA xperia play you cant root on 2.3.4. Only 2.3.3 and below.
But if your bootloader is unlocked just install a custom rom. Most are pre-rooted anyway. Seems like a better way than just rooting.

Is there any way downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2?
I have a locked sim card. So i cant unlock the bootloader. And no good enough toturial on Remote Unlock.
Can i use flash tool to downgrade?

Don't think it will work.. Surely the kernel will not be compatible with 2.3.2 because it will still have the 2.3.4 one.. You can only flash kernel with unlocked bootloader.

Flashtool replaces the kernel too.
flashtool 2.9.1 will flash and downgrade without bootloader,think of it as the PCCompanion
How do i remove root? Want the 4.0 update. But do we really get. Maybe we get it. But what if Sony Ericsson means that. We will make ics for Xperia PLAY?
I want original ICS. From SE
Btw could some one upload 2.3.2 link. And howto video? Locked sim card. It failed

I Cant understand what you just said... a video tutorial is not necessary since thousands of user did it without it.

Could someone post a 2.3.2 Eroupean ftf file?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
calm down dude.
I dont get why you want to downgrade anyways? Why dont you just stick to 2.3.4?
Yay
it worked. but its an UK ftf. does this go away when i gingerbreak. then ota root keeper? does it update to my original language. cant find Norwegian in Languages on my Xperia PLAY 2.3.2
Go to wotanserver.com and find your version then use gingerbreak if it's 2.3.2 or zergrush exploit if it's 2.3.3 or higher. They should have your region.

can downgrade sure CONFIRM!
May I know which process you use to downgrade to 2.3.2.
Wontanserver for sure. Good program, downloads and installs any firmware you want.
Hi Guys,im new here and forgive me for being a noob
Ok i have flashed the new [ROM]Generic R800i (Play) 4.0.2.A.0.62 but the problem now is i cant root my phone
before this i was on stock R800i ROM 2.3.4 and i managed to Root the phone with Superoneclick
I already tried SuperoneClick (software hang), Doomlord Easy Rooting Toolkit (it says cant copy any files and reboots my Play) and tried using Fastboot method but all failed.
Help?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, flash doomlords kernel it will root you device. ZergRush no longer works on the two newest firmwares.

First you need to unlock your bootloader, then flash a kernel and rom that are made with ICS. After that you can install the superuser zip through CWM
Is there any other way to root the Xperia Arc S? Like an app? I recently downloaded DooMLoRD's ics rootkit, but I was wondering if there was an app that could root a GSM phone running ics. Let's say I downgraded flashing the downgrade kernel ; could I use Gingerbreak to root my phone?
nope not possible. rooting is easy anyways
Hey Everyone
I'm new to the android world here.. and I've been attempting to get root access with my lt15a
however I am having several issues having rooting apps work
I've tried zroot, framaroot, flashtool, & Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31
all apps seen to run, but not root the device
my bootloader is unlock, I've set usb debugging, allow installation of non-market apps, mass storage mode (msc)
the phone is running android 4.0.4 kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf build # 4.1.B.0.587
******
on a side note.. I did successfully root my phone before updating to 4.0.4 without knowing it would lock my bootloader and lose my root
I have since paid to unlock the bootloader, however can not root the device again
can any guide me in the right direction..
thanks

Check the Xperia Tipo section of xda-developers, I am sure there is at least once custom kernel.
...
I've tried the -rooted, kingo android root, and still no success
I've also tried flashtool root and it fails
I noticed during using flashtool.. it says bootloader can not be officially unlocked.,. not sure if that means anything
when I checked the phone is service screen.. it says bootloader unlocked...
all rooting apps if tried .. get to a certain screen.. and seem to sit there and then show rooting failed...
can anyone provide the exact link to the ics kernel..
or what I can try ...
I still don't understand what is causing my issue here
