You can root your xperia play but you cant install any custom roms. Let tell you this straight just rooting your phone will not allow you to install any custom roms. You need a unlocked bootloader to do that.
I helped him with his root issue earlier...on a different thread tho.

Hi, i own a Xperia Play since 3 days.
Normaly it is no problem for me to root my older devices and put cwm on it.
But the Xperia Play makes me angry...
I managed without problems to unlock the bootloader.
Than i installed .42. There i could root the phone and put cwm on it but when i installed a custom rom, the device stuck on "sony ericsson" bootlogo, so i need to install stock .42 again. (i rooted with superoneclick and flashtool) CWM was installed by the cwm app and "cwm-install" from the forum.
No methode works for me to install a custom rom.
Now i installed .62 tft on the device because with .42 didnt worked for me.
But now i couldn't install root(superoneclick or flashtool doesn't work). So i couldn't install a cwm.
Could you help me ? I read a lot of threads, but couldn't find an answere.
I read something with kernel, but kernels are normaly installed by customrom itself or manualy after installing rom, i am right=!
I hope you could help me, because i want a fast device.

.62 firmware is unrootable by normal methods, therefore you have to use a pre-rooted rom/kernel to have root and CWM
thanks for the fast answer!!!
Thx a lot, now i know, that i do not need to test it with this rom any more
Does an pre rootet stock rom exist, that i can install with flashtool?
So that i can install cwm over the new app? That would be awesome

Try DooMKernel. Pre-rooted and comes with CWM.
BTW there is only pre-rooted kernel, not rom. My mistake

can you please tell me how do you flash the kernel when the phone is not rooted?
I am in the the situation but couldn't work out how to flash new kernel.
thanks!
edit: finally figured out that I need to unlock bootloader first. strange that I didn't need to do that for my first root.

Hi guys, so i have my stock Xperia Play GSM and i wanna install a custom Kernel with CWM and then root the phone using CWM. Can you please tell me what is the best Kernel for games and also has the CWM built in. Do i have to do anything else to my phone before i can do this ? I unlocked my bootloader and installed Flashtool ...
Device: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i GSM, Android 2.3.4 -> 4.0.2.A.0.69
Thanks !
I can't tell you which is the best, and I hope all threads starting with "best" gets locked. But generally you need 2.3.3 to root but since you already have an unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom kernel, they have CWM installed so you can boot into recovery by pressing the Volume down button at Sony logo. From there you can install a custom rom that is already rooted. You need the rom and kernel to be compatible with each other in order for the phone to boot.
If you want to just root the phone you need to down grade to 2.3.3 and use the root feature in flashtool. If you want to manually install clock work mod, after rooting, use the CWM installer version 5 from this link, the option to reboot into CWM in the program will not work BTW, you'll have to do it manually. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840

If my bootloader would be locked, would flashtool work ? I wanna downgrade to 2.3.3 but when i do so, the program get's stuck at 17% ... When i flash the ROM, do i need to check/uncheck any items ? Like kernel or bootloader ?

The flashing process can take time, wait up to 10minutes. Sometimes it can get stuck due to bad cable or other variables. Try plugin it in a different port, preferably USB 2.0 port, and with no other USB devices connected to your computer, keep trying and it will work eventually. Try a different cable as well.
Flashtool have to work with locked bootloader, which is needed if you want to restore a locked phone to stock. You don't have to check anything unless you want to specifically exclude it from being flashes. You should flash this firmware, its 2.3.4 but it has been modified to be rootable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591398
I thought you said you unlocked your bootloader though.
I have help my friend xperia s root + unlocked bootloader + custom rom. And he required me to unroot. SO it is possible to unroot the unlocked bootloader xperia s?

If you haven't flash any custom kernel, try this:

Choose unroot option.

Dude,
Most Xperia S custom roms for unlocked bootloader come with root and a custom kernel.
If you want to remove the root you would have to flash a stock rom using flashtool or relock the bootloader and then flash the stock rom using either PC companion or Seus.
To be honest I don't understand why your friend would want to run an unrooted custom Rom.
Hope this helps.

Probably because some weird games can't run on rooted phone (e.g. Puzzle & Dragon)

So how do I unlock my bootloader (don't forget that my phone is already rooted) and after I unlock it how do I install custom roms. PLEASE MAKE YOUR ANSWERS NOOB-FRIENDLY.
Thank you in advance

so... this is my second problem today, the first one was with the FTS, but no its woking~
The problem is the Root. Yeah, the root...
I have tried to root my device using this and others FTS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43935357&postcount=2
but dont know why, if i use, for example R800i_4.0.2.A.0.69_World.ftf or R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf, my device dont accept the root...
BUT, if i use :R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World and other lower version, he accept... anyone know what to do? i'm trying to use DoomLords root, tried every version... help, again!
EDIT: now that i have tihnk for a time... the stock rom that came with the xperia play, acepted the root, so, its 2.3.2? the only problem is that i dont remember some stuffs in the 2.3.2, so i thin it is only 2.3.3 that came with the xperia play whe i buy it...
Already solved the problem.
You can only root devices from 2.3.2 down...
The strange is that I tthink may xperia play came with 2.3.4 and I rooted it before it bricks in boot loop...

you can root 2.3.4 until version 58 (enhanced v3) with locked bootloader. just flash the ftf, boot, enable usb-debugging and mass storage device (instead of mtp at usb-connection) and root it via flashtool.
otherwise unlock your bootloader and install a superuser application in any rom you want. flash the latest firmware (.79), flash custom kernel, install supersu or superuser via cwm and you got the newest firmware rooted.
