[Q] flashing a rom on a stock phone

I'm looking at purchasing a used xperia play r800x (verizon) on ebay, ive checken and the esn is clear but the screen is locked due to forgetting the screen unlock code.
is there anyway on a stock unrooted phone that a stock rom can be flashed and clear up the problem?
ive rooted several android phones and always run custom roms ive just never tried it on a stock phone so im not sure if its possible.
thanks in advance

you could use the sony ericsson PC companion to flash your phone i think.
or you could unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and make a factory reset with this.

Try these http://uploaded.net/folder/8rfx7b is your bootloader unlocked?

Was the flash successful in Flashtool, unlocked bootloader?

Yes i was unlocked my bootloader from sonymobile.com/developer site and the flash was successfully loaded, but which link should i take, the Generic world / Generic DE / Nordic?
PS: i was first time rooting my phone >.<

please help me..........i felling very low:crying::crying:

I think you can keep your bootloader unlocked.
Just download an official ROM FTF file for your phone and flash it using Androxyde's FlashTool. It should debrick your phone. Then, you can repeat your experiments with custom ROMs.

i have tried using it but no change..

[help] Xperia M can't install updates

Hey I'm new here so sorry if I explain it weirdly and I mistakenly posted this in a different section before
So my xperia M which is now unrooted can't install the 15.4.A.1.9 update it just downloads and reboots and goes to the boot up screen and loads for 2-3 seconds and blacks out and and restarts and it says couldn't install update. How can I fix this?

Try flashing a .ftf file via flashtool
Press thanks if I helped!

This might me the answer
Hey there!
I think i understood your problem and i have a question to ask you. is your bootloader locked or did u unlocked ur bootloader anytime and didnt lock it back.?
if your bootloader is unlocked , u wont be able to install updates from official Sony Update Center.
I dono if this is the exact reason y ur are unable to do but this happened with my phone too.
I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004 and i wasnt able to install updates, then i noticed that my bootloader was unlocked then i used Flashtool to lock it back, then i was able to install the updates
Or if u want to install .FTF of your phone manually do it via Flashtool coz its safe
and if you want to get .FTF of your phone directly from Sony use PC Companion as Sony Update Service [SUS] is stopped
Hope it helps :angel::fingers-crossed::good:

[Q] Failed to unlock bootloader

Hi guys,
I've tried everything, but after successful root I can't unlock bootloader and flash recovery mode. Fastboot is also not running. The stock ROM is awfully slow and I wanted to flash a new one... That is what I see when I enter the service menu (see the attachment) :/
Please, help :c
Xperia S LT26i (2012, I think)

Its just not allowed to unlock your bootloader.
Nothing more to say.
Send thanks to Orange, where you device is from.

You may try other ROMs based on stock one, but optimized. As said above you can't do anything about it. I would suggest you to update the phone to a new one with unlocked bootloader, SXS too old nowdays with it's S3 CPU.
