[Q] Problems with SEUS

Hello! I'm trying to update my Xperia PLAY using SEUS (ver2.12.4.17) but it won't recognize my mobilephone when connecting, all drivers are installed including SEMC Flash... Any help will be apreciated.
EDIT: Did it again in another computer and I did it... still don't know why it wouldn't recognize it on my laptop...

Are you using other custom roms?

if u root ur phone and than delete some boatware it can be problem cause it cant find any "his" (stock Sony/SE) programs.
Maybe u delete sth important for SEUS?

Xperia Play R800i probably bricked

Hello guys!
I have been 'playing' around with my bro's xperia play phone, and it is (what I think) now bricked.
First of all it had android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 on it & it's a R800i bought in Denmark.
Here's what I did:
1 - Downloaded & installed "sony pc companion".
2 - Plugged in the phone & got the drivers
3 - Downloaded & extracted "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su"
4- Put the phone in USB debug thing & allow unknown sources
5 - Ran "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" from the file "runme.bat"
6 - It got rooted succesfully
7 - Downloaded and installed "CWM_Installer-v5.apk" [LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840]
8 - Replaced the recovery.tar file with the one posted in #557 [LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840&page=56]
The file is located in system/bin or something.
9 - Installed CWM through the application
10 - Downloaded the rom "XperiaPlay Ice Cream Pureness.ver.2.1" and placed the .zip into a folder (created myself) called ROM.

THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822118)
11 - Rebooted into recovery mode through the application (CWM_Installer-v5.apk).
12 - Did this:
1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Format /system (in mounts and storage)
5.Format /cache
6.Format /Data
7.Install XperiaPlay Ice Cream Pureness.ver.1.zip
8.Reboot now and you are done !

12 - It rebooted and showed the samsung logo, but then just went black with a slight brightness..
Can't do anything with it now.. I tried removing the battery then placing it in again. The only thing that happened was that I could turn it on again, get a quick vibration with the samsung logo. But then the black screen again..
Hope anyone can help me fix this, as I really don't want to return the phone to my bro as bricked & ****.
ALSO: I'm new at this forum (& really anything to do with rooting/flashing/roms), so please if I have done anything wrong inform me! I would gladly post more info if you need it - but I don't know if I'm missing anything.

Your phone is not bricked. Try to find Sony Update Service software somewhere on the internet (Its no longer on the Sony website). You will promped to switch off your phone, hold the back key when you are ready to reinstall the stock software. Just follow the procedures properly and you should be fine.

Hi and thanks for the answer!
However, when I try to run the Sony Update Service ( sonymobile com /gb/tools/update-service/ ) it tells me that I already have the newest version?
/edit
IE. my problem is NOT fixed. I still need some serious help, please!

Try using Sony PC Companion, if that does not work try to flash one of the R800i files from this link using the flash tool, again in the same method as I told you about the Sony Update Service.

Albanezi - You are a genius! :good:
THANKS A LOT !
/edit
For future references, how would you recommend me rooting this mobile? And installing the CWM thingy.
Hope you can link me to a guide or something - I seem only to find outdated/fake guides.
(The phone have android 2.3.3 now)

[Help] Radio Module for LT26i needed (no sim card inserted please restart your phone)

I already searched through the entire forums but I can't see any solutions for my problem with my Xperia S.
"PLEASE INSERT SIM CARD AND RESTART YOUR PHONE" with a sim card icon with a red X mark
(not recognizing any sim cards since I tried 3 different micro sims)
I don't really know what caused this problem. I bought this phone last September and since that I've been flashing different custom ROMS and kernels. The last one I flashed was ROM: XTX v9 with Kernel: RaymanFX' ELiTE - V2.
I tried flashing official firmwares but the problem is still there.
I goggled and found a similar problem but it's not Xperia S but Xperia P. The author said that the solution is to:
1. download and install Flashtool here or other places
2. install flashmode and flashboot drivers from *.*\Flashtool\drivers\ folder
3. download this radio module(u8500_490206_R1G_EC14.rar), unrar and put it to *.*\Flashtool\firmwares\
4. open flashtol -> press "flash" icon -> choose "Flashmode" -> choose LT22i Device - > press OK
5. turn off your device -> press and hold volume "-" hardware button, then plug USB cable in your device. You can see green LED light on your phone
6. hold the button till you see "Flashing finished"
I wanted to try this solution but I can't find a radio module for Xperia S.
The file they are referring is u8500_490206_R1G_EC14.rar for xperia P. Can someone post for Xperia S? or can someone help me find a solution for this sim problem?

Hey i am also facing this issue since 28 Feb i tried all possibilities but still the same
"PLEASE INSERT SIM CARD AND RESTART YOUR PHONE" with a sim card icon with a red X
I don't really know what went wrong, I tried jelly bean leak and den flashed back to XZX 2 and BAM no service. I tried flashing official firmwares but the problem is still there and i noticed something while flashing it says 02/053/2013 11:53:11 - WARN - This file is ignored : simlock.ta so I relock the bootloader and tried again flashing roms however still the same.
I also couldn't mange to find a radio module for Xperia S as my friend JetexXx maybe it could be about the radio i am not sure, however what i know is I am deep trouble as i am unable to get a spare phone i am missing important calls
can someone help me find a solution for this sim problem?

Still Hoping
Let's just hope someone can help us with this problem. I think simlock.ta is not the problem since that file should really be ignored.

I have never flashed anything in my Xperia S and i started having that no SIM icon.
Opened one thread here with problem description and feels like is the same problem - didn't
got feedback but i know a lot of people have this issue with sony phones.
Phone was sent to Sony assistance last week.

last few days i was trying lot of things on my phone and i flashed many roms locked and unlocked BL repaired using SEUS also , however all dem of these things had no effect but today i flashed the jellybean rom and luckily it recognised the sim but unfortunately jellybean leak has no network coverage
breakthrough installed [JB]Unofficial MIUI V4.1 [3.1.11] and everything works fine now.. may be you guys should try this ..

I am really sorry for this bump, but it seems like the same problem exists with other 2012 Sony devices, personally I am talking about the Sony Xperia Miro and Tipo. I have got the same problem on my Miro. I would like to ask you if anyone has got those radio modules. Otherwise, is it possible fixing this problem just by flashing that MIUI ROM?

I am just trying to find a fix. This topic is as close as I can get. If I could just get those radio modules or fix the problem it would help all 2012 Sony device series users. This is why I posted this here, Jesus...

Same problem
I'm having the same problem with my Tipo.
Any solutions to this one yet guys?

flashing jelly bean wont help

[Q] Xperia S USB problems

Hi everybody.
Im writing this post because im having several problems with my cellie that seems be related with its USB port.
First at all, i try to connect it to the PC, but it only detect it like a battery charger, then i cant connect it to flashtools to reflash it or whatever...
Later, i showed in the installed rom at that moment that the batteri log show it like charging everytime, so I suposed that the problem could be with the rom, then I reflashed it with other rom by CWM, and showing that it doesn't solve it I tryed to restore a stock backup by CWM too.
It doesnt solve it too...
So now, im having an impasse with this problem & i want to solve it.
In addition i can say that this problem is causing a fast discharge of battery everytime (i supose it happens because the cellie detect that it stills charging so it could be derivated of this previous problem.
Can anyone help me with this problem??
Im thinking to sent it to the hot service, but because i cant access to it with flashtools i dont know how can i reblock the bootloader for doing use of guarantee.
Can anyone help me to reblock it by CWM or something similar?
thank you very much for your time reading this report
and sorry about my english
