Bricked my phone flashing

Hi,
Well I tried to flash the firmware on my xperia play and I bricked it and now it won't boot, I'm really a noob at this stuff so maybe someone can help me out.
My original firmware:
R800i
Current Android version: 2.3.3
Build version: 3.0.1.A.0.145
I tried to flash it and i got this error
24/029/2011 22:29:29 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
24/029/2011 22:29:29 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
24/029/2011 22:29:29 - INFO - Then go to application settings
24/029/2011 22:29:29 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
I really don't know what to do now.
Cheers

Good!, It's not just me who can't get it to work Someone help use plz

I had the same problem, installed companion and in update option you have a "restore" or " repair" link, after doing all the program said,the Xperia Play it booted again.
I had to do this several after several times, bue every time my Xperia Play booted again

Hey,
In Sony Ericsson PC Companion, I can't get pass the Battery thing,

Posibly your battery is under 50%

How would i no when i can't even boot it or anything?

@sonny788 If it's not rooted and/or you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then take it to an official SE repair shop and let them fix it. It's under warranty then.
You might try another pc/laptop to flash from or uninstall pc companion and flashtool and then reinstall it with all drivers again.
You could also redownload the ftf file or re-extract it.
Are you using version 0.2.9.1 beta of flashtool wich is afaik the only one supporting the xplay.

You need to go to an option in SEUS that'll repair your phone and that should work. Can't remember the actual path to get there and i haven't got SEUS installed on my netbook nor do i have my phone (in for repair, will pick it up today).

Install Miui on xperia arc Lt15i locked bootloader

Hey guys,
So i have been rounding the forum for weeks and i still cant manage to install MIUI on my xperia the thing is its has lockedbootloader and i have no ideia how to root it and CWM on it.
I have found some threads but most of them with broken english and i just dont get it.
I want to change my rom badly since i find xperia stock rom horrid.
Big hug

Here are the steps to rooting your phone and installing CWM
1. Download Flashtool and flash a rootable arc or arc s rom (if you're using arc s, here's one). You can usethis tutorial to help
2. Download and extract this
3. Put your phone on debugging mode and connect it to your computer
4. Run the 'runme.bat' from the extracted folder
5. Download x-Parts from google play and it'll install CWM on your phone.
Done! :highfive:

Thanks alot! i still cant find a rootable arc rom i'm using the normal one arc LT15-i

Okays that's fine. Flash a normal arc Lt15i rom, and then flash this, and then root it, and then flash this
You should be fine now

I guess thats no problem flashing with lt18i kernel?
(sorry for my ignorance noob here)

Ok so now the thing is i encountered a lt15i root ready rom i began flashing and it gets stuck at 14%

Search around the forum, there's plenty of tutorials out there. Also do some research before you do anything to your phone. Don't try it if you cannot understand the instructions.

At sony's logo?
Then you dont have an unlock bootloader, and you can't install any CM based ROM.
Use the pc companion or whatever software recommended on those tutorials to flash an original firmware form sony and bring "back to life" your phone. I don't know if you need to root your phone again (it disappear)

Thanks guys flashing it worked...just needed to wipe cache thanks
