Anyone know how to reinstall the stockrom, currently on the latest but seems to have issues and would like a fresh reinstall of it. Tried using the Sony software that comes with the phone but when I try to 'repair' the phone in the software update section, it says that I can't download the firmware from my IP Address.
If you have a custom kernel on it you have to flash any gingerbread kernel like doomkernel and then flash a ftf firmware depending on your location.
If you have a r800i you can flash the .58 enhanced ftf. Just search for ftf collection for the xperia play, and there you can easily find the right ftf

hi all
i have sonyericsson xperia Neo, both cameras and flash dont work after 2.3.3 flash
the icon is there but when i open it "camera is not available"
when i test it or install 3rd party software it FC
i tried flashing the global version but with no success
any one can help me please ? more than half of the value of this phone is gone if the camera isnt workin
Suggest you try to reflash - do you have an MT15a? or i? try it with the "official" firmware for your handset...
tried to reflash / repair / now flash using the flashtool
nothing is working with me,
i think its a camera driver mismatch ..... i got it when i had an X10 and it was fixed with a simple update (not reflashing)
does anyone know if i flashed with ARC frimware will it brick the device ? i am just thinking how i can totally wipe or format the the system and re-install it
Use SEUS, not FlashTool.
i did
i used it to reflash the software
i used the repair
it didnt fix it
i used the flashtool to flash the global rom, still no success

check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127764
and use wotan client to get the older firmware(save the blob file so a ftf can be created)
done ....
i couldnt find where to find save blob file
and the camera still "not available
It's been a few days now - so have you found a way to get your Neo worklng/reformatted to its original factory state by now? Did the Wotan Client/server method work for you eventually? Is your bootloader unlocked to begin with?
OK,
after having my Arc bricked and recovered, I had what I thought was a stock 4.0.A.2.368 ROM aboard, but when I connect to PC Companion it says that I have software that cannot be updated.
SEUS gets as far as connecting the phone in flash mode and then it says "checking connected phone" and then it hangs.
How can I get back to a stock ROM that will allow SEUS or PC Companion to do updates?
I am not interested in OTA updates.
I am passing the phone to someone who is not terribly technical and want for them to be able to do the updates via the PC at least.
Cheers,
A
Use the flashtool.

use the latest flashtool and latest stock ROM..!
latest flash tool here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
Thanks guys,
but I thought that by using Flashtool to go back to a stock ROM, 4.0.2.A.0.386, that I'd be able to then use PCP or SEUS to go to the 4.0.2.A.0.42 ROM, but I could not.
SEUS just hangs and PCP says modified software that cannot be updated.
I have used Flashtool to go to the generic .42 ROM now, but what happens when the next official update comes out?
Thanks
A
lock your bootloader then update
Ah, OK, did not realise that the unlocked bootloader was the problem!
Thanks a million as they they say here!

Sorted! That worked, thanks to all!

fyi, i always using fxp since im using arc `bout 2 1/2 years ago.. but, suddenlu with fxp215, its getting sucks, sucker n suckestt!! with a f**king lag, camera also, its so frustrated.. since im flashing back to stock 0587, i think its the better choice.. true, its still lagging, but n as lag as fxp.. n the stock camera juz superb.. juz my thought to share..
i flashed to the beta ICS and want to be back on stock firmware
so i can get onto android market ect..
i tried using flashtool but keep getting an error
this error:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
there is nothing wrong with the usb port (i have tried others) and it is the same port i used to flash with
I get the error when it asks me to put the phone in flash mod (holding the back key then inserting the usb)
here is what i have
Xperia Play (R800i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_TW.ftf
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379
what can i do?
Try using the official software to update to stock. I don't have 8 posts yet so I can't post urls so you'll have to copy this into the address bar:
sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-play/
However, you say you're downgrading so you can access the Play Store? You should be able to access the store within ICS. You have to flash a gapps zip to install it however. You can get the latest ICS gapps here:
goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Since flashtool isn't working re'lock your bootloader using,
Unlock using: http://adfoc.us/423185576865
And relock using this : http://adfoc.us/423185576880
Then you could use SEUS to reflash stock firmware. Or download this firmware http://adfoc.us/423185569090 and retry flashtool this has a better baseband imo than the rom your currently attempting to flash.

Thanks, after getting back onto original firmware i needed to lock the booloader to get up to date.
all done
Thanks both of you
Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

Hi, I root my xperia play (verizon version) just fine and has been using custom ROM for a while and it all works great. but then I wanted to try a different ROM and so I install NexPlay ROM via recovery menu. The installation process was fine and it went through but when the phone is rebooted it just stucks at the sony ericssons logo and won't go anywhere, I can't turn off the phone or anything and i can't get back into recovery mode. Please help. I need this back to working fast!

For a better support you should tell us which kernel are you using, and which ROM you were using before flashing NeXPLay.
If you just made the mistake of installing NeXPay (ICs ROM) on a GB kernel, then you don't need to reset everything with flashtool.
thanks but i just flashed my verizon rom with flashtool and that seems to get me back...
now which custom firmware/rom is the best for R800x?

Depends on how you use your phone. If you are a gamer then you should try a LuPuS kernel and a Gingerbread ROM but if you don't care about gaming then you can try a ICs ROM and which kernel you prefer.
If you need some in choosing one of the many ICs/GB ROMs, just ask
