how to restore the original software xperia play?

hello people of XDA, today I come with a problem I emerged.
Following the appearance of new Xperia play ICS beta install decided to see how it worked, so I have to unlock the bootloader, in doing so I find that I can no longer update but my computer from SEUS.
I would ask for a solution to this problem, my back your original software XPlay, and to continue updating it with no problem
I leave the details of my Xperia Play:
Model: R800i
Android Version: 2.3.4
Compilation Number: 4.0.2.A.0.58
I'm from Mexico and I hope I can help.
Note: Only provide if you have tried this solution and are 100% that it works.
thanks

- download/install latest version of flashtool
- flash 4.0.2.A.0.58.ftf
- optional (flash doomlord's kernel and wifi modules/links are in my signature)
- restore your backups
- reboot
- back on stock 4.0.2.A.0.58

Please let me complete information, step by step to follow, and the link to download the necessary files, please
thank you all for your answer

Would a stock rom restore Crash Bandicoot and Bruce Lee?
Not that I'm too concerned about playing them but being a noob with an android phone I've kinda deleted Bruce Lee (even though it still appears as an icon). I was wondering if I re-apply a stock rom for the Xperia Play would the rom file include the two included games: Bruce Lee and Crash?

Depends on the FTF file.

I've been playing around with the different SONY Ericsson stock ROMS after I did a test for the ICS ROM and some of that include Bruce Lee, but Crash Bandicoot should be included because Crash is pretty much the only playstation pocket game available when they released the phone. Hope this helps, and also there are links to all 3 different versions of the 2.3.4 Gingerbread ROMs if you go to the xperiagamer .com website and then select rooted zone, stock ROMs and choose 2.3.4 as it's the latest and choose the correct one,
Note the main 3 are for R800i and the other R800a.
Also there are guides on how to get things to work on this site, Ive used it for most of my needs.
Hope this helps.

Thanks ImaKitch,
I think it's just OCD - i either want Bruce Lee on there or not at all. The fact that his icon appears on my dash niggles me - enough to flash it and start again.

If you use SEUS with an unlock bootloader, your phone will brick. To relock your bootloader, flash the ftf file here. DRM can't be restored though.

no idea for this problem???

same problem here, any solution?

Dunno if it will help but in the OP for paranoid android is a link to 'fix' next to rom and gapps, its a flashable gps fix but i dont know if it works on other roms. If you search xda for gps fix or google galaxy nexus jellybean gps fix zip u should be able to find a fix you can flash in recovery. Heard a lot of people had gps issues after jellybean update so its a known issue with solution available.

[Q] GPS problem on my Desire HD Jelly Bean ROM

Hello everyone.
First of all, sorry for my probably bad English. (I'm from Ukraine, Sevastopol)
I installed ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 the last release (42_R2)
It works fine, and i surprised of speed of my phone. Thanks people, who make this ROM.
But I have one bug, that I can't fix.
I had no working GPS.
What i tried:
this:
"Use GPS Status and in the menu>tools>manage A-GPS , do a reset. Then check that GPS are fixed." - from here. - not worked for me.
this:
Click - downloaded this link http://derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.cwm.v3.1.zip and success install it from recovery. - not worked (or I something did wrong).
How I test:
with program GPS Status and GPS test. In the second the indicator of power of GPS is Yellow (but GPS is ON and coordinates of wireless is on too), but I know, that normally it must be Green. And i have zero satelites founded for a long time ago. I tried to find GPS in a good weather, of course.
My information:
Phone: HTC DESIRE HD
Radio: 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Core Version: 3.0.59_JellyTime_42_R2-g9f22a5f-dirty [email protected]#2 Sat Jan 19 00:05:34 PST 2012
Could Anyone help me with this?

[Rom]Xperia GP v2.1[4.1 JB] [LBL-UBL] on AT&T model?

i was wondering if you can use this rom on the AT&T sony xperia ion coming from android 4.0.4

yup. I flashed it on my(both the initial version and the latest).
you need:
Root
CWM
1.) get rid of the dreaded AT&T firmware and flash the LT28h jellybean(I'ts on the ION fimrwares thread).
2.) root the ION(There is a tool for that posted on the JB ion discussion thread, its in chinese, it works. Dunno if Doomlords root tool works on the JB firm of the ion, havent tested it.)
3.install CWM(CWM thread, you will need busybox)
4.flash GP firmware.
to be honest I don't know if you will loose LTE(no coverage in Central America so i dont care). If you do, you can always flash the AT&T baseband with flashtool.
Bugs i have found on GP rom:
1.Homescreen FC(happens every time after reboot, let it settle for a bit and it will go away, known Honami launcher bug)
2.Calendar FC(happens every reboot
3.Reboots while playing ingress(one of the mods he's using apparently doesnt play nice with that game, doesnt happen on stock)
4.Icons disappear from homescreens(dunno why, dunno how to fix
5.Some of the apps disappeared from my app drawer(but are still listed on settings/apps), restoring the apps fixed it for me.
GP is a good rom, but since a play ingress quite a bit the reboots are a deal braker for me.

FM radio

Hello,
I would like to know which ROM's are supporting FM radio and it's confirmed that FM radio is working?
Thnx ....

Hello!
I wanted to help answer your question...
I have an Ion with LOCKED bootloader (not able to unlock it - LT28at) but I have tried ALL (literally every one of them) the alternative ROMs offered for locked bootloader here on XDA.
MOST of the ROMs I have tried have had support for FM Radio. It's a very important feature for me so it's one of the first things I check when I flash a new ROM.
The ONLY ROMs that DO NOT support FM Radio are those based on CyanogenMod in any version. (CM9 or CM10, for Ions). This is true of the "pure" CyanogenMod ROMs as well as those that are modifications of them. It's a "known issue" of those ROMs.
It is also true, according to the forums, of CM for locked OR unlocked bootloaders; doesn't matter.
Hope that helps! If so, please click "thanks"! :laugh:
P.S.: There's one ROM that I tried that I never could get to load properly (bootloop no matter what I tried) so I'm not sure about that particular one: "Emerald Smooth ROM".

i was not aware that kitkat does not have walkman, xloud, bravia engine, digital sound. also most of the apps downloaded from google or other sites are not getting in installed.

Walkman is available to install on any ROM if you look for it. Bravia engine doesn't work on any phone with unlocked bootloader, rolling back to JB won't help you there, you need to relock the bootloader (search for "relock bootloader xperia s"). Xloud barely works, I'm sure you never put a decibel meter against your phone to measure the difference between Xloud on a stock ROM and the loudest setting on a custom ROM.
Guide to roll back to JB:
Search for a .96 based ftf file and install it with Flashtool.
Or even easier (recommended):
Use EMMA: http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/. This will recognize your phone and automatically download the latest official firmware for it.
To relock the bootloader, I think the ftf file to do so is included in Flashtool (not EMMA, the unofficial Flashtool), there's an option in Flashtool to relock bootloader.

You probably installed something else from somewhere, the link I gave you is safe, guaranteed. It's Sony's own website

Hi,
My desktop has been working fine, but 2 days before have registered for EMMA, but have not received confirmation mail from Sony.

In the zip file downloaded from Sony for the EMMA application installation there are two additional files: a pdf (with instructions) and an ini file.
In the pdf there is a specific step advising you to copy the ini file to some location after installing EMMA. This step is required instead of the registration.

the topic was fm radio.
i tried installing cm10 and carbon on xperia acro s.
neither had radio. after reading the first answer, i tried finding another rom but before that i read the features of each one.. fm radio was never mentioned and after some more research it appears to be a big problem for developers since it is rarely mentioned not even as a but or in todo lists. i suppose few people miss it but for me is a must as i frequently use it for my running sessions.
I even tried spirit fm but it doesnt work for non stock xperia roms. (not for my acro s cm10 anyway)
any ideas?

hello,
does any fm app like sipirit fm work on beanstalk rom for ion ?
i really like fm radio
if it dosen't work, is that a bug cant be solved or its just a minor bug to be done in some day?
thanks

i found this rom cm-10-20131224-FXP-hikari.zip with radio app (google it to find the link, i m not allowed yet).. however the radio app crashes a lot, and it is much inferior to the stock radio..
and, being in the kitkat era, i d love to see a kitkat rom with radio that would also be stable...
ps. if i ever manage to post this, i think it is going to be my last post, the f...en captcha has beaten me!
