newbie. i barely could get an emulator to work but i'm thinking about having my phone unlocked, rooted, bootloader, whatever it takes so i have access to move things into my memory card, delete bloated stock software.
but i need my phone to work 100%, text, internet, 4g, ATT.
anyone offer this service? i don't need some fancy rom either.
You only really need root for what you want and its pretty easy to do you can use apps like apps2sd link2sd to move apps to sdcard and all your phone features will work

It should all be the same I have r800i and used zergrush method on both my xperia plays and it worked fine no problem it should work if you follow the instructions just type in on xda search or Google how to root plat r800at.

Get superoneclick from http://shortfuse.org that should root it fairly easily.
WARNING: This doesn't work, however, on the Verizon Wireless R800x v2.3.2. Please update to v2.3.3 before rooting if you have that phone/software version

Hi guys,
I got xperia PLAY !!!
Can anyone confirm if any 1 click root method available?
Android 2.3.4
Band .42
Thanks in advance
from xperiAwesome
First off, a few questions:
What specific model did you get? (It depends on your carrier. If you have Verizon, you got the R800x. If you have AT&T, you got the R800at. If you have any other GSM network, you got the R800i)
Secondly, no. There's no one click method, I believe.
Mine is R800i
Actually I want to remove the pre installed games first..

Need help regarding my Arc S
i am on locked bootloader 4.0.4 ics. I dont want to unlock bootloader and do any fast boot mode, cwm or to remain in 4.0.3 kernel with skipping 4.0.4 kernel while flashing to 4.0.4 full update, then flashing 4.0.4 individually later way , etc ...
I understand both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 kernel version are same but still 4.0.4 isn't rootable the old Root Exploit One Click way, which was used for 4.0.3 . So definately there could be some difference mayb better battery performance, they would have locked to not be able to root the old way and something new is needed for it? i mean they maybe would have just modified the same kernel version...
so please would highly appreciate anyone's help if one can provide me root 4.0.4 kernel the One Click way .
Regards

That's exactly what he said he DIDN'T want to do. LOL!
@shantusingh, there is no other way currently known to root 4.0.4 other than the steps you mentioned in your first step.

thanks for understanding and for letting me know, though hope one simple way comes out soon..
my basic idea is as like many others, we try different generic and in end we would only want our generic to be running when it officially comes because maybe we get less bloatware, better performance or could be anything..
so i want when i get 4.0.4 update then i cleanely update with root one click way... to get everything my generic with root in the end, even if other generic's kernel verison,etc be the same...
So i am counting on the genius devs here!
if we don't get root one click way for 4.0.4, then my other idea is i will officially update 4.0.4 via pc camp when it comes to india .. and when i get it i will check it with the 4.0.3's kernel version screenshot that i will already save to pc. So if they will be the same.... i will then only flash 4.0.3's kernel then will root my phone the old one click way ....
after that then will flash my phone with 4.0.4's kernel from 4.0.4 update ftf which was leaked on xda as i wont mind flashing other generic if everything matches. So i then will get it confirmed everything from stock that what i got in my region was the same aswell i didn't missed anything and will in end have stock 4.0.4 with stock 4.0.4 kernel(of other generic, but if version and everything will be same so can say indian kernel aswell) rooted! this way. Will do all this only if root one click simple way isn't developed for 4.0.4
Hope people understood what i am tring to explain the logic, it is very complex and absurd but all in the end all i am asking is to get same simple way to root 4.0.4 in the end

No thats not what I meant. I have it rooted, I root all my phones.
I need Kernals and Roms and help with them, Read my whole post not just the title. :cyclops:
I recommend the NXT Lite rom and Doom kernel, though there might be other options. I posted the flashing instruction here, in the second part of the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36910260#post36910260
People had success unlocking the sim and bootloader of their Play using WotanServer, so try it.

I have an xperia play by verizon.
What I am trying to do is unlock the bootloader. But when I dial the number which is like *#*#... and so on I check I don't see bootloader at all?
I really need to get off gingerbread ive been on it for like 6 months and all the good games require 4+ etc. I wouldn't mind going to ICS but i do prefer jellybean
I search this forum for something simular couldnt find anything thats why i signed up.
To sum it up. I think my bootloader is locked. and cant be open. is there another way of getting a custom rom 4+ on my phone?
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
You dont need to check for anything,(Skip 1 & 2) and just enter your MEID number. (MEID number by entering *#06# on your phone)

ima look into all this when I get home.
I know I sound like a noob. but can you guys confirm a few things?
Can Xperia play verizon x version goto 4+?
Can I do it by following the MEID method? As in, installing 4+ JB
Will I have full function of camera, which I use daily, and will I have 100% funtionality of the hardware keys? (x.o, etc r1, l1)
Will I be able to root my phone and run super user?

THIS will answer some of your questions. The first 3 will need to be done first before you flash a Rom. The only way to have 4.0+ is to flash a custom Rom and make sure its compatible for CDMA.
what do you mean by done first?
Cant i just put the rom on? or is there a 4+ rom with everything working

If you want 100% gamepad functionality without any workarounds, stay on stock. Otherwise, you would do well with CyanogenMod 9.

Hi, can i install a stock 2.3.4 R800i rom on a R800X, i will just use the Xperia Play as a wifi internet device and a game console, i dont need calling or provider service internet.
Can i install it without messing other stuff?
No you can not install any GB R800i rom on the R800x. Your stuck with what you have.
Check the NXT lite rom for cdma, its pretty much like stock but better.

If you're going to be playing hard games, I suggest you use the cola Rom. Its excellent for gaming.

just make sure that it says gsm/cdma next to the rom..
