Hi,
plz help me make my phone working again. I wanted to flash cm 10 after manged to flash cm9. cm 9 ran after trying everything out for hours. Today i downloaded cm10 and flashed the kernel. after that i wasnt able to open the bootloader, so i flashed cm9 kernel again. That worked so far. i was able to open bootloader again, but it showed an failure notice whilst installing cm 9.
"assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "r800i" ......" this is copied with the endings r800i/a/at and zeus
E: Error in sd /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-zeus.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried it a few times. Flashed cm 10 kernel, flashed cm9 kernel back, but its always the same failure notice. I would like to use cm9 again, it was good at all, but i wanted to update cm10 today. Please give me an how-to what to do unbricking my play.

If you're able to flash, you're not bricked. One thing is to make sure you are clearing data, cache and dalvik. That is often the root to the sort of issues you have had. My recommendation would be to find the correct ftf file for your model of Play and flash it back to stock. Get that working first, then go with CM10 if you like.

Hi I think you are flashing wrong file line 5 (03/044/2013 12:44:33 - INFO - Selected Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf) you need a stock ftf file!
I have used R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf file before found on this site somewhere might be wrong but would try flashing that file hope it helps.:fingers-crossed:

Scroll down to the downloads section.
thanks for that information, but i tried flashing 2 files, at first the relock bootloader ftf. because i read somewhere that flashing firmware with open botloader with "OTA" will brick your phone. so i wanted to be save and locked bl before flashing firmware. if you read on into log there is another ftf. and a failure notice. because i tried today so many things, my accu is fully empty (3 times red led blinking) so i hope itll load a bit tonight and i can go on trying to flash cm 9 tomorrow again. but this file should be stock firmware isnt it?: 03/045/2013 12:45:01 - INFO - Selected Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
its from uk, im from germany, but only want to boot once and than flash cm9, so i dont worry bout that. last flahing try come further than log posted already i think. ill try flashing that file tomorrow again, cause i think that flashing failed cause of battery was too low.

I'm sure as long as the led works theres life in it
Maybe battery dead
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Strange but true, the dreaded red light of death. To fix it u will need a spare micro usb.
→ Cut micro usb on the micro end.
→ Strip back the plastic to expose wires black(negative) red(positive)
→ get sticky tape an connect it to the positive and negative terminals on battery(they are marked)
→ plug it in to wall socket
→ 3hours or so battery should be ready to go
→ phone SHOULD boot normally
Its happened to me and one of my mates. Both our devices fixed this way, but up to u if u want to take the chance of ruining a micro usb

thats a strange way of loading battery. Luckily if got 2 usb cabels for my play, so ill give it a try. but my phone wont boot after doeing this, it will only give me the chance to try to repair it. an mobile without working rom wont boot i think. its unlogical that i cant load a phone without an working rom. i hope i dont make me crunchy if i connect microusb with electricity.

Ok goodstuff, just be careful and dont plug phone in untill u have the sticky tape on the battery. When your phone has enough battery then u can flash the ftf via flashtool

Good luck! By the way don't think you needed to have the battery in the phone to charge that way?Might damage phone more! Back to original problem can you get into recovery?(once battery full lol) if you can daft question but are you flashing cm9 from zip on sd card?Also can you flash other kernel's with fastboot ,DoomLords,Lupus,etc if you can try some of these and rom's to go with them.Get your phone stable with a rom before trying cm9/10 again.Also don't worry about locking your bootloader again as long as you do not update over the air you will be fine.I think your problems started when you tried to lock your bootloader again.:fingers-crossed:
Ye looks good but u dont needto have battery connected into phone as its the battery your charging.
Let me know how it goes

battery isnt connected to phone, its only laying into
EDIT:
@tallman, thanks, i hope i wont damage all
i flashed kernel and came into bootloader, but it showed failure notice i posted on first page of thread.
i hope i can flash stock firmware with full battery. after that ill try to flash cm9 again.
and yes, originally nonbooting was due to relocked bootloader
Edit2:
didnt worked, 3 red leds are there again. i think the cabels, especially the - cabel hadnt enough contact with the battery. do anyone know any tricks doing this better?
Edit3:
i cut now more of the isolation of the red and black cable away, so that i have more metalcabel to fix it on the battery. lets see if it loads now
If that don't work you can always buy a battery

i dont wanna buy a new battery if theres any other way.
maybe that would work: Sony Ericsson EP900
problem is that i cant find it anywhere. its on amazon, but its not available. buying a new battery isnt a problem itself, but i would like to buy it at a store, not via internet. and i cant find an market where i can buy an battery for xplay
Edit:
i hope it works now. i couldnt fix the cabels on the battery contacts with tape. now i pressed them onto the contacts and pushed battery into my phone. so theres an constant pressure and it loads hopefully

ive got win 7, and what version of flashtool do u have? i hope i can flash stock firmware today. Yesterday i couldnt do that because flash- and fastboot modes were only stable for 20 seconds or so, after this time green/blue led expired and my phone didnt showed any action
EDIT:
i think battery charged now, but i think also that i cut the wrong micro usbcable. one is thin and long, one is thick and big. i cut the short one because i thought they are the same cable. now my netbook doesnt installs the drivers for the cable, it only says "unknown device". with the other cable that i cut it worked. so ill have to buy a new cable and a new battery if i can find them anywhere. i hope ill be able to go to the nearest city where i can buy one. this will take some time because im living far away of next city, and my mother, wich drives there at least once a week is sick at the moment. so i havent got the opportunity to buy one the next few days :-c
Edit 2:
i got an new usb cable now. i was able to unlock bootloader and flash cm9kernel. now im trying to flash stock firmware just to make sure that my phone still works normally. than ill try to flash cm9 completely
Edit3:
cm9 runs now. great! bit i cant write anything with the virtual keyboard, and an phone without keyboard is completely useless. can anyone help me making the keyboard opening?
last edit:
the bug that my keyboard didnt opened was because i installed the wrong gapps. i installed jelly bean gapps, with ics gapps all works perfect

Hi,

I think you are very new to mod world and suggest you that first know the terminology of mobile developing fully like kernel, ROM, bootloader, factory (or Stock ROM) , baseband, android versions, custom ROM, what CM is actually etc etc before trying to kill ur phone!!!!(joking)...
same happened to me before a few days on my xperia play R800i phone but I was successful in restoring it back to CM 9.1.0 after unsuccessful try of restoring it to factory(Stock) ROM that came with it from sonyericsson.
Though there are many more experienced memebers but try mine at least once no harm...
1. make sure ur battery is full or 70% at least
2. put the CM9 ROM u downloaded in SD card in home directory(home means just put inside SD without making any folder on SD card)
3. enter into recovry mode (i assume you have clockworkmod recovery already installed)
4.do factory wipe/reset and then cache wipe
5.do dalvik cache wipe (u can do step 4 & 5 one or two times just to be in safe side)
6.install zip file CM9 (make sure you have stable version only) from SD card
7. reboot phone
I hope you should be successful now step 4 & 5 is important to wipe any mess that was created by CM10 if not successful then move the battery from phone wait for about 2-3 minutes and try again above steps u should succeed. good luck!!

So yeah first of all i'm massive dong!
now we got that out of the way. i wanted to install a custom rom to my play. not knowing much about it i got a friend who's into thw whole custom roms etc to help.
he guided me thought it and said it would be ok to flash a CWM rom onto the play without unlocking the bootloader so i did. now the phone wont swich on just the sony ericsson logo and then just a triangle symbol then nothing.
looking about i tried using flashtool and the generic firmware ftf file and it kees failing at 61% *Log file at the bottom* ive also tried sonys own repair applications and for some reason it wont even open. so yeah pretty sure we've duffed the thing but heck thats why i came to you lot!
any help from you fine lot would be extremely appreciated and i thank you for reading.
and yes im a noob, fool,herpa derp etc etc etc.

Your play is not dead ;-).
I don't why but for some reasons, I can't use all the Stock ftf's to get my play back to stock. For me only the HK version really works.
So maybe just switch the ftf file, restart pc first, and see if it gets onto your play.
Have you installed the drivers that comes with flashtool ?
- > But yeah, Flashtool + Stock rom ftf is the way to go.
For the future. Roms sometime work on locked bootloaders and others will not. Always read the dev's thread first . Saves a whole lot of trouble.

Stayed up all night and eventually got a 2.3.2 ftf file to fully install then had to install a proper 2.3.4 ftf and update through the installed update manager but i'm back up and running!
see we did read the rom thread but there was no install instructions at the start just the files and screenshots :S it was this one here we were gonna do the kernel switch after cause he said it would be fine to flash it first then do the kernel later on :S
Hello all, I am requesting help with my Xperia Play.
It was not working smoothly, so I decided to install a custom ROM. I installed the ICS beta and then attempted to install xDark ICS but it has failed.
Pretty sure its R800i, bought unlocked in the UK
I cannot see anything on screen when I turn the device on
When the power button is pressed it vibrates slightly
I can put it in recovery mode (Holding Back and plugging USB) -light appears green
I can put it in fastboot mode (Holding Search and plugging USB) -light appears blue
When I try to flash any .ftf files with Flashtool it either comes up with an error or stays on "retrieving device information"
I cannot work out how to repair with PC Companion
When I select the .ftf file, no files appear in the firmware content. (I have tried various firmware files but any more would be appreciated)

Sure that your phon has unlock bootloader? (if don't, follow this http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions)
The same problem happened to me... I learn how to unlock bootloader and install roms with flashtools... now I'm running CM9 RC2...
If you know how to flsh see post #5 of this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28977879#post28977879

Yeah I know how but I cant access the recovery menu.
Anyway, I resolved the issue by flashing the latest stock (.62) .ftf file from here and it seemed to work. Thanks
Hi guys!
I have read through all Xperia S topics regarding bootloop, but couldn't find anything that actually helped so I'm creating this new thread.
Until yesterday the phone worked decently, not perfect, but it worked. All of a sudden when I try to open any app I get the message "Google Play services have stopped working" (or something similar). I thought that a restart might do the thing so I turned off the phone after which I started it. Surprise!!! I get the Sony logo then Xperia Logo, restart, Sony logo then Xperia logo, and so on.
The phone has not been rooted, and it runs the latest stock firmware (4.0.4).
I have tried repairing it with PC companion and SUS, but I get the message that the battery is not fully charged. If I plug the phone to the wall charger, if the phone is off it will just start in the bootloop and it won't charge, no LED, nothing.
I also tried flashing the phone with Flashtool, from what I can tell the flashing was successful, but the phone still doesn't work.

Before I send it back for warranty, I thought someone else might have a clue about what the hell is wrong with this phone.
Cheers guys!
Did you try turning off the phone by pressing the power and volume up button long enough until it vibrates three times. Try connecting the power cord afterwards and see if it charges.

Yes, I did try both SOFT and HARD reset. The outcome is the same no matter which one I use..
So you did nothing to your XS and it bricks
After hard reset plug it to charger for a night
(even if nothing happens let it charge whole night)
Than flash stock firmware using Update Service.

If you didn't root it or flash custom ROM, and you wrote that you didn't, I would advise you - use your warranty.
Something is really wrong with your phone, so if it's still on warranty - use that.

You have unlock bootloader? If not don't install custom rom for UB . If you have UB use fastboot and flash new kernel. If you have LB use flash tool or Sony app and flash rom. If I help use thanks button.

stuck in boot loop
I flashed a wrong rom, now stuck in boot loop(i can still go into recovery), after thorogh searching i found a solution but i don't understand how to make use of the code/script...plz help, i'm desperate
Using ADB BY Samantha
DB can be used to access the phone while booting, be aware that some bootloops make it unable to use ADB since they do not go further then the manufacturer logo. (In new CWM versions it’s possible to use adb)
The only tricky part about using ADB with bootloops is that you have to do it on the right time, this is different from every device, but normally it’s after the manufacturer logo that the partitions get mounted. The easiest way to enter your phone in this part is using a batch script that monitors the state of your device and connects directly when possible.
I use this script for example, called ondemand.bat (requires adb.exe and the 2 dlls)
1 @ECHO off
2 cd /d %~dp0
3 echo.
4 echo Waiting for device…
5 adb wait-for-device
6 echo.
7 adb -d shell stop
8 adb push mycwmfix.zip /sdcard/mycwmfix.zip
9 adb reboot recovery

I have Unlock Bootloader. So, here is my question, if I flash a new kernel, Do I actually lose something like the Rom installed? I dont mind losing apps, I dont really use a lot of them.
What kernel should I flash to prevent this if I still want to stay on CM11?
Thank youuuu
(I pressed thanks bottom and I will do it again!!)
Hey guys!
I have problem with my Xperia M. I have managed to flash system.sin ONLY ONE TIME. But after turning on the phone it was saying low battery like 3%, even I knew that the battery has been charged in other phone (Xperia J) and showed about 80%. So seeing this bug with battery I've decided to flash it one more time (I read that it may be some bug with kernel/rom). Anyway since that time I cannot flash the phone again....
I cannot flash any rom to it. I have tried different ones from generic to custom. Also tried different flashtool versions (0.9.8.0; 0.9.16.0; 0.9.16.1).
I have all drivers installed. Also tried different cables, different computers. And I have bootloader unlocked (if it matters).
The phone does not show any sign of life except that I can turn it on in flashmode or fastboot. Flashing with different rom's sometimes gives different errors.
This one is most common errors

Little update of information:
- no response to power button, no vibration (no soft/hard reset available)
- can go into flashmode or fastboot
- while connecting to PC or wall charger it shows Sony logo + constant red led, nothing more (looks like stuck on it)
I've tried flashing system.img by fastboot but it says that this file is too large (something like this), I've read that it can be done only with system.img smaller than 256mb (mine are about 1GB)
Have you tried re-downloading the ROM?

Ofcourse I've tried that. Several times and on different ROM's
Does anyone has any idea what else I can try or do? Please, I'm a bit worried right now about the phone...
my phone stuck on sony logo and I can not get into cwm recovery, the pink led dose not show up while turning phone on! I have unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash different kernels to access recovery. I can not find stock kernel.img and ftf firmware for xperia m (single) too. any idea?

I have done these methods but the flashing finishes with error. I can just flash kernel on it. I need an. Img kernel with compatible. Tft firmware. Hope to reach a solution

From above error i can see that you are flashing 4.1.2 firmware. Try flashing 4.3 firmware.
