Have you tried flashing the wifi modules again in recovery?

The Beats audio port will work with any Gingerbread ROM, and does not require an unlocked bootloader

Ok, so my phone is going wierd so i want to take a nandroid backup before i repair using pc companion.
Is it possible to go back to the stock recovery so that pc companion doesnt detect modified stuff?
I currently dont have CWM installed
R800i, .49 locked bootloader
Thanks
When you flash the stock ftf file, it flashes the stock kernel.

Is there no way to do it without getting into flashing?
No
A more complete answer is 1 - you have to install CWM to do the androids regardless of whatever else you do. 2 - falling the ftf returns you completely to stock. If you don't do that and you have removed anything from your configuration, PC Companion or SEUS will detect it and not update you. 3 - flashing with Flashtool is easy, fast and does not require an unlocked bootloader.

You can fastboot erase boot, then flash stock boot.img from fastboot. Its quick and won't affect rom.

I got fifa12 on the free promotion
Will a titanium backup keep the game unlocked for me?
Sorry for all the questions

That's only true if he has an unlocked bootloader.

I rooted my play, got the CWM installer, did a backup, did a factory reset, then flashed JJ's Hybrid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573547).
Then I rebooted, but it won't boot. It's just stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" splash screen. I've tried going into recovery, won't work. Also taken the battery out and tried again, but that didn't work either.
I read in another thread that you can't flash with less than 50% charge? Mine may have been at around 48% at the time...
Does anyone know where I went wrong, and more importantly how to get my phone working again?
Is your bootloader unlocked? Because the rom only works with unlocked bootloader

I did not unlock the bootloader...
Know how to fix this?
I think, you have to flash a stock ftf with flashtool
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I'm downloading both now, thanks for your help
I think I'll be ok from here, but stick around if I need any more help!
Feel free to ask

Hmmm... I tried to flash it but it said I needed to install the drivers. I installed the drivers, but it still says "ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Any idea?
I think I have the same problem. My device is not recognized at all, how am I supposed to use flashtool?
Do you have pc companion and update service installed too? I had the same error with earlier flashtools and installing those two programs seemed to make it work nicely
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
You could try the Sony Ericsson update service tool: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
Sorry for the lame link, couldn't find an "official" one, but can confirm the above works. I flashed mine yesterday back to stock with it.

You can. Just look for the ROMs with locked bootloader instructions.

+1 on that, make sure it says for locked bootloaders otherwise, you'll be up **** creek w/o a paddle lol. Look into getting your bootloader unlocked sometime, it's well worth the $24
Might be too late but make sure the ROMs are for CDMA and not GSM if you're on the R800x. Some have CDMA patches you need to flash.

Why don't you unlock your bootloader and install a real jelly bean rom

Thanks for the links, but the bootloader is locked, so is it possible to still install custom ROM leaving bootloader locked?
It is possible for some ROMs i think.

It is possible as long as your new rom doesn't require you to change the kernel, so you can't use ICS or JB roms. Some GB roms also require a different kernel, like MIUI. Gin2Jellybean is fine, but it also support other kernels.
There are instructions in the rom thread. It says you have to change the firmware, but I never did and my Play is still working fine. I'd just start at step 3.
I can't boot into recovery, can someone please help. It just boots up as normal, i tried pressing back key and volume down key.
Are you using xparts to install CWM? Try using a earlier version. Version 5 worked for me last i recall

Thanks, i tried version 5 and it worked fine. Phone is now running Gin2JellyBean, much better than stock. And i can play GTA Vice City fine
