Updating Xperia Play

Hello everyone
I rooted my Xperia Play with SuperOneClick to remove some bloat apps that came with it, and then un-rooted to receive official update to 4.0.2, but whenever it boots back up it says that the update wasn't succesful.
I couldn't find a guide which was noob-friendly to update it thru console so is there any way to fix it so I can get my stock update?
And maybe someone knows a noob-friendly guide to update it thru console/fastboot, can you point it to me?
Thanks!
But there is no official update to 4.0.2... unless you mean the beta
Yeah the beta, I'm just too lazy to type the whole name, thought 4.0.2 would suffice
Well if you just want to go back to stock, find a FTF file and flash it with Flashtool
Not really my point but I figured out what I should do. Thanks for the help.

Pimp my rom un-pimp help.

Ok so I made a classic noob mistake. Rooted and flashed a few things here and there. Installed pimp my rom and tweaked the new toy. Ok now I need to update it and cant. I used the note 2 toolkit to root and unroot. And now for the mistake...I didnt backup anything. When I went to the att store to figure out why I cant update they looked at the build number and told me there was nothing I could do to update bc the device has been modified. My build number says pimped....blah blah blah. And thats why the update software wont update your device. Please help or point me in the right direction. Ive searched and cant find anything about removing it or going back to time before pimp my rom.

I think you can start a fresh if you odin back to stock. I would give that a try my brother. :angel::laugh:
Cheers
if you want the updated ATT ROM, there's a pure stock rooted version available in the the development section. you have to be rooted and you have to have the CWM or TWRP recovery installed to flash it. most (experienced) rooted users just wait for a trusted developer to release a stock, rooted ROM with the updates. a little friendly advice: be sure you understand the consequences of your actions before jumping in and always take the time to create a nandroid-backup. next time you want to unroot, try this method and you can unroot your device with a Normal device status in 15 minute or less. hope this was helpful for you. and by all means, enjoy your phone! :fingers-crossed:

android ver 4.1.1 after updating through odin

i followed the unroot galaxy s3 thread because i accidentally pressed update when OTA update popped up on my rooted phone.
downloaded the latest android zip and updated with ODIN.
but it doesnt show 4.2 it still shows 4.1.1 android.
im a bit confused.
theres just too much **** available and i lost track of all these build numbers and updates and different programs.
i dont spend much time here anymore after i got rid of the HD2 and now im completely lost.
got other stuff to do cant afford spending 3 hours a day to stay on top of latest repackaged rom release

4.1.1 UVDLJC is the latest official firmware.
oh ok then i thought it was 4.2 for some reason
one more question that i could not understand clearly
once i root the phone again. what specific services do i need to disable to prevent the automatic OTA updates?
i disabled one service related to update but didnt see any others.
and once rooted. do i have to unroot it in order to use odin and manually install OTA update that i downloaded?
im not planning to use custom roms( spent toomuch time making them wrk on HD2 and done with that for good)
jsut stock tmobile roms work fine for me.
thanks for quick reply i was about to try flashing again since i thought that it was supposed to be 4.2 version

You don't have to do anything with ota. When next one comes out you can unroot and install the ota as long as you hav stock recovery. If you have custom recivery you can always update with Samsung kies but you would need to reroot the new ROM. Or just flash a ROM through Odin.

Official KK from JB OTA

Hello Guys
another question,i have E980 AT&T but if i returned to stock JB can i update to KK from the phone Software Update OTA? kindly dont answer if you are not sure
Still waiting...
I can't believe that there isn't anyone can answer this inquiry....
People aren't answering because you can find the answer by doing the search, consider these type of questions are discussed a year ago. Yes, you're safe to install through the OTA update as long you're not rooted while you're updating. If you're rooted while doing the OTA update, you will most likely end up with the bootloop.

first of all thanks for your reply, second thing, i know that im safe to do an upgrade through OTA and i know that for sure i dont have to be rooted, and my question is IF i went back to 4.1.2 (JB) can i upgrade officially OTA to KK 4.4.2 if i entered the (software update menu)?
I didn't say to be rooted, I meant it's unsafe to do an ota update if you were rooted. If you flashed the stock jb ROM, and wanted to update to stock kk using the ota, you're safe to do so as long you don't root before your update. Is that what you're asking?
Thanks again for responding, but in my question at the begining i didn't mention the root issue, and i know that u cant update ota if u r rooted, and what im.asking for is when i return to JB 4.1.2 and i want to have the official KK can i updated ota?
My E980 performed this update OTA some time ago. I purchased my E980 when it was ~1 year old from AT&T so it was $50. I suggest you check the AT&T support site to see fi you can update it via them if you step down to 4.1.2. The issue is that the update may no longer be pushed to your phone and you may be required to perform the update manually.
