Hi
Just bought a used Xperia Play. Turns out the thing is already rooted and when they factor reset it, it developed the non-working home button bug. And advice for fixing this?
Thanks.

try to flash it with stock firmware...

I've got bigger issues now. I used flash tool the flash the latest official uk firmware. Process went find but the phone will now not boot. No light no flashmode nothing. If I plug it into my computer it is detected as a usb device but driver install fails. Is the phone now completely dead?

Although i can not say that your phone is DEAD because your computer detects it. You can install the drivers directly from Flashtools. Navigate to the folder and execute the .exe to install the drivers and then try and start over. C:/Flashtool/drivers

[Q] Can't hard reset Xperia PLAY and isn't detected by flash tool

I had LauncherPRO, I tried switching wallpapers and everything froze so I did a battery pull and now it gets stuck on the "ROGERS" boot up screen or goes to a blank and no keys work. If I slide out the gamepad while its blank, the screen will turn on and it'll be a black screen with the time and the slideout bar but the touch screen doesn't work for some reason. It also says I have no service.
Here's a list of what I've tried so far -
- Holding the left and right D-Pad keys while starting the phone
- Holding the back and search button while starting the phone
- Using Sony Ericsson Update Service but it won't even detect it
- PC Companion won't detect it either
I've had so many problems with this phone, I was hoping to exchange it for a different phone if possible. I got it from Rogers on May 30th, and I didn't really realize it had problems till this month. Thing is, I have installed APK's from 4shared that you'd normally have to pay for and since it seems to be bricked now, I don't know if it's safe to bring it in.. It's not rooted. I'm pretty sure most of my downloaded apps were on my SD card but I"m not 100% sure. The phone isn't functional at all if I manage to get it to that black homescreen.
As simply as flash with flashtool.
All you need is in the dev forum.

Thanks for the reply. This won't void warranty, right?
Edit: Flashtool doesn't seem to recognize my Xperia PLAY when I boot it in flash mode. The green LED is lit, and it shows a battery logo when I start it up so I assume that means it's in flash mode, but flash tool wont recognize it. I've tried on a windows 7 and a windows vista computer

I am, yes.
I read somewhere that problems with pc companion not regonizing the play can be resolved by umounting the sdcard and then conecting it to pc companion again.

Just tried it after restarting my computer, still no luck but my PC Companion seems to start up everytime I plug it in while booting in flash mode.. which is odd
Edit: Nevermind, it's detected it now. Thanks!
i read that you said the battery logo shows up. that's not flash mode. you enter flash mode by ONLY holding back and plugging in USB cable. but i see you solved it now.

Yeah before I had read that it was different for Xperia PLAY, that you had to hold search. Since before I wasn't holding the "back" button long enough and I didn't think it was working. Anywho it's all fixed up now! This doesn't void warranty right?
Just wanted to add as i just spent hours figuring this out and its really stupid and simple but may help other people. When you connect the phone in flash mode. Connect it in FLASH mode. Do NOT hold the search key button as this is for FASTBOOT MODE. You need to hold the back button on the Xperia play to launch into flash mode instead.
Hope this helps someone =)
Apologies for the necro, but just in case anyone else is having this problem and comes here.... i spent an hour reinstalling drivers, holding different keys without flashtool detecting the phone in flash mode & searching through vaguely related results in google.
In the end nothing was wrong, I was plugged into usb 3.0 and whilst the drivers were installed and the device was showing up in device manager, flashtool simply wouldn't detect it. The moment it was connected to a usb 2.0 socket it immediately worked.
HELP!

My Xperia Play is not being recognised by the FlashTool (I've installed the Gorgon Drivers and it is detecting as ZEUS USBFlash...). It is not responding, I tried pressing the search button, the back button, but I got nothing. I am not getting any light neither. Do any of you have any idea about what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

[Q] R800i completely bricked?

Hello dear readers and great XDA members,
Last summer I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i with the testpoint method. Everything worked fine: I installed CWM and loaded a FreeXperia version of CyanogenMod 9.1.
A couple of days ago, I wanted to finally update my ROM to a newer version since there had been so many releases since last summer. I loaded the new ROM and everything worked fine. However, some of the problems I hoped would've been solved by the update, weren't solved at all, especially the video capturing and panorama pictures. So I decided it maybe would be better to flash a new kernel.
I searched for a kernel, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then, I can't remember where, someone posted the "boot.img" files included in the FreeXperia CM9 ROM zip packages were kernel releases. So I decided to use flashtool and flash the boot.img as a new kernel.
This obviously didn't work and I tried some others. By the way: I couldn't boot into ClockWorkMod anymore since I tried to flash a new kernel. Only fastboot and flashmode would work.
I couldn't remember which kernel I used last summer, so I wandered the internet and eventually found that an X10 kernel was included in Flashtool. I though I remembered something about X10 from last summer, so I decided to stupidly flash that kernel to my Xperia Play.
After this flash completed, my phone doesn't respond to anything anymore. Following a list of things I tried (everytime after I tried something, I removed the USB cable and the battery to make sure the Xperia Play was turned off):
- When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens, not even the small vibrate always felt when the phone starts.
- Getting into fastboot mode doesn't work anymore (I tried with holding the search button and connecting USB, as well as some other buttons, nothing worked.)
- Getting into flashmode doesn't work either.
- No matter what I do, the phone won't give me a sign it's still alive. (no LED, no vibrate, no screen, nothing.)
- I tried the Sony Update Service, but that obviously doesn't recognize the phone
- Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone either.
- ADB doesn't recognize the phone of course.
- s1tool (the tool I used for the TestPoint bootloader unlock) recognizes I plug something in, but then gives an error it can't get access to it.
- I charged the battery overnight and tried all of the above again... still nothing works...
- When I plug in the phone to the PC, my PC recognizes something plugged in, but with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager.
(by the way: I am using Windows 8 Pro x64)
Is this phone completely dead or is there any way it can be saved? I was planning on keeping this phone at least until the end of 2013 or begin of 2014 before upgrading... An immediate upgrade is not in my budget and for now I have returned to my Nokia 5530 on Symbian, but that's nothing compared to Android :'(
Thank you very much in advance... I really hope someone can save my poor phone. I know I have been stupid, but I think I somehow panicked when I couldn't get the phone back into CWM and stupidly flashed the X10... Stupid stupid me.
Well I always update to the latest working kernel when I flash a new rom. The one working currently for me is fxp152 kernel.
Have you tried with battery, holding the search button, plug it in, then hold the Power button while still holding search.
Contact Alejandrissimo, he can probably help you.

Thank you for the response! Where do you find these kernels? Are those boot.img files included with fxp zip files the kernel images?
I hadn't tried to hold the power button after holding search button + plugging it in, but it doesn't work either
I will probably contact Alejandrissimo in a couple of days if I can't solve it myself or if nobody else can help me solve it...
Thank you!

Hi Tommy,
I am very sorry for my late response. I haven't fixed my phone yet, but I fear only a hardware flash would work... I think I am going to try to get my phone back to the store where I bought it and I hope they'll fix it. If they don't, I will try to find someone who can hardware flash or ask Allejandrissimo (an Xperia bricked devices expert, it seems...)
I hope you will get your phone to work again! (And please let me know how you did it if you succeed). I will keep you updated if there is any progress. I am very busy at the moment though, so I don't know when I can get my phone back to the store. In the meantime, I have also bought a used Galaxy Nexus...
Greetings,
Sven
EDIT: I think I also accidentally flashed the X10 rom or kernel in the flashtool...
Could be easily fixed by flashtool, tried the same (flashing x10) and phone looked dead. The I toke the battery out and placed it back. Then I could enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf.

Maybe you still have a chance! Bcoz I think you have completely damaged ta files+ semcboot which can only be repaired by se toolbox 3 which requires credits(money)( I m assuming it'll detect phone bcoz s1 tool recognized it with error ) if you have it than you can repair it or you can contact alejandressimo on gtalk.

When you phone was dead after you put the battery in did you hold the power button then it went in to fast boot instead of holding thback button CORRECT? ²

Hello Arbiterandrea,
I am very sorry tot report that I wasn't able to fix my Xperia Play. I sent my phone back to the online store I bought it from and it arrived there 1 day before my guarantee expired. When I got my phone back, it was a brand new one with a different serial number, no screen protector, not a scratch. And it was for free thanks to my guarantee, even though I bricked it myself. (I just told them "it suddenly stopped working")
If you've got any guarantee left, you could try that, but if I understand correctly you already tried that... Then I think you should contact Allejandrissimo, I've heard many good things about him. I didn't contact him myself, though.
Good luck! And let me know if you have fixed it?

Xperia S freezing at DoomKernel screen and drivers problem.

Hi all! It's my first post but i hope it won't brake any rules..
A week ago my friend gave me Xperia S smartphone for few days because i lost my phone. It was working really good and i didn't notice anything what could worry me.. But once i came back home late at night and Xperia S was out of power. I didn't expect anything and just plugged in charger. Red light showed up and.. Nothing. The phone didn't start. I tried power button + volume up (nothing happened). I tried with 2 batteries and nothing. Tried Plugging in that putting in battery and it started. I thought that my problem is solved, but it wasn't.
DoomKernel screen appear and phone freezed. After 15 minutes of waiting in hope that my Xperia will maybe go through it I decided to take off the battery. And i stuck.
What i know?
This Xperia has DoomKernel onboard but i'm not sure about version(?).
And there is an ROM on it. Probably 4.2.2 but i'm not sure what ROM is it. And can't ask anyone cause my friend got this phone from another one who left our country and we lost contact with him >.>
What else.. Few times i tried to turn on the phone than get into Recovery and i did. I thought that maybe this is problem with rom and i could flash other one or something and it could work... But than i get problem with drivers. I installed drivers from flashtool and Google drivers with SDK. When i tried to use sideload "Device not found" appear...
Unfortunelly i've no idea if there is USB Debugging turned on... Same with unknow resources.
Please Help my guys cause i don't want to use my Nokia C3-01 again

Side load feature doesn't work most of the times. trying pushing ROM to the phone while it is in recovery. to push the files use the command:
Code:
push /pat/to/rom.zip /sdcard
Else You can simply flash the stock ftf.

Swapped motherboards now phone won't boot

Hello, I've been searching for a situation like mine for a while and was unable to find it.
My phone had the screen destroyed over the weekend and I purchased one that would not turn on to replace the broken screen. I swapped the motherboard from my working phone into the broken phone.
When I hit the power button, it vibrates and the screen will get power (no display, just a blank backlight) and the phone will power back off.
It will not boot in safe mode either.
Is this a symptom of a broken motherboard? Or are there other things I can try? I have not had a chance to hook it up to try the pc companion.
I have the old screen assembly (with the flex cable and such, digitizer and LCD are shot)
My phone is not rooted, and it is unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading!
Update:
Connected to Sony pc companion. Pc companion recognized that there was a phone and allowed me to run a repair.
Charging light came on during process (was not responsive previously).
Still will not boot. Only charges when hooked up during repair.
Still no recovery mode :/
Are there any secondary recovery programs available that you would recommend?
Sorry for the double post.

I'm thinking that you might have a hardware problem rather than a software problem, but if you want to try to play around some more with possible software fixes... you'll want to learn how to use Androxyde's Flashtool program. It allows us to flash firmware onto the Xperia Play, with both locked and unlocked bootloaders. (Also, I'm not sure if you are trying to get the phone to boot into a stock recovery, but the Xperia Play does not come with a stock recovery like most other android phones. If you want a recovery on it, you would need to install one).
Here's the site where you can grab the most recent Flashtool: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php

Thank you! I spent the whole weekend trying the software fix. It had no result so I tried the hardware like you suggested. I swapped the ribbon cable and it did the trick!

Hello!
I also flashed a recovery.img which put the phone into a boot loop. I am not able to flash my backup because in SP Flash Tool my HTC Desire 320 keeps disconnecting (error 2004).
How did you manage to flash your phone? Could you please help? Or is my phone dead?
Thanks.

I have Tried plugging mine in holding down the down button and still just kept disconnecting and reconnecting. Is there any other way you know of to flash back to stock? or installing cwm/twrp?
I have even tried on multiple computers...

Already tried, with battery in it boots and crashes, when plugged in without battery it just connects and disconnects over and over.
Have tried multiple cords, usb 2.0 & 3.0 ports. Same story.
Installed mediatek driver, uninstalled; you name it I tried it with the exception of opening it. Haven't got to that stage yet, I'm lazy.

if adb cant be able to be able to connect and stay connected ( bootloop or restarting problems )
then take SP Tool flasher to flash the Scatter MT6582 from stock KK by only remove battery first and let it out.
plug the universal usb port on cable but on the end of the cellphone dont plug it yet...
in SP Tool check the checkboxe in settings to checksum DL DA. and select usb high speed and W/O battery options.
then when the scatter is loaded then you ready to flash. the latest SF Tool is recommanded.
click on Download on SP tool when done the steps. it will hang on idle but at this moment press de volume down button first.
keeps holding that button until the end of flashing process and when hold it now plug the cable to your computer and bam you will be able to flash it to stock or custom your desire 320 without problems and its will not disconnect during process since you holding the volume down button.
that's how I did resolve my problem about months and find my own solution.
hope this helps... dont be shy to let me know if it worked for you or if you still need assitance.
have a nice day.
peace.

After searching and searching, seems someone actually had the same problem as I do. But for my part even when pressing the volume down before connecting to the computer doesn't keep the phone from connecting and disconnecting, even tried all the buttons combination you can imagine.
I'm wondering if it could be a driver issue, in your case was your device disconnecting every 5 seconds? And do you have any special driver that I should be aware of, personally I have Preloader USB VCOM port version 2.0.0.0...
I hope you got something in mind, I don't know where to look anymore haha.
Thanks again
PS I did everything else, remove battery, disable signature, got scatter MT6582 + download agent for flash tool (also updated), tried with ADB but can't detect device (of course it keeps deconnecting :silly: )

even if you have mediatek usb vcom driver or adb drivers else original driver it works on all with the button press.
but set the setting like I said USB support normal without battery W/O and high speed.
don't set it to mediatek com ports on SP tool. but if you have mediatek com port change to port 20. that's what I did change the port com.

What version of SP Flashtool are you using?
Well I have tried everything everyone has said so far
No matter what I try I get
BROM ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
Have tried using both
SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01
SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1532.00
Both do the exact same thing, tried checking the AD DL ALL with Checksum boxes, unchecked usb high speed and full speed. Pressing the down button before plugging it it, after. Nothing I do seems to work, in the device manager it just keeps appearing and disappearing over and over
I think a found the solution guys. After a sleepless night , I stumble into a russian forum who got the same problems as ours.
The correct version of the SP FlashTool we need for our device is the SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.01_SEC (http://mediafire.com/download/eaar07r2nm1v7t6/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1348.01_SEC.rar). I read somewhere that it was because of the HTC Desire 320 has a security boot.
If you got a 4008 error, it's probably because you're using Win8-Win10. You need Win7. I'm installing Win7 on my PC right now, so I will tell you more about it later.
If you looking for the stock roms, I found this site : http://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=1449
If you speak russian, feel free to correct me.
Have a good one guys.

EDIT: Alright guys, confirmed working with 0PF1IMG_V01_U_K44_SENSE52_Telus_1.02.661.2_Radio_MOLY_WR8_W1315_MD_WG_MP_V42_F1_P9_release on Windows 7 x64. Model: OPF1100
If you got a CID Error, it's probably because you have flash the wrong rom for your device. I didn't have to restore the NVRAM after this flash, but maybe you will have to.

Thanks for it, i've got that problem after trying to install custom recovery. I also got the error 2004 but i fixed myself by using DA_SWSEC.bin. Not sure if it work for ur guys or not.
I also learn that althrough HTC 320 is Mt6582 devices but we cant use the method they wrote in mtkrom site to install custom recovery. Now i can find the stock rom of my phone to check flashing custom rom via splashtool. I used telus rom above and i got problem wrong CID and the flash camera not work, if i have msg or phone call missing, it flashes like notice led! At least now my phone is working ok then. I'll try to contact HTC to get stock rom of my phone

Yeah I forgot to mention that, you need to use the DA_SWSEC on the SP Flashtool. What's your htc 320 model? Your probably have the wrong rom. The telus one is only for NA device.
EDIT: Are you using the HTC Desire 320 with dual sim: http://drop.ndtv.com/TECH/product_database/images/15201573649PM_635_htc_desire_320.jpeg
If this is your device, the Telus rom is not for your device.
This is the EU rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download/z...NSE53_htc_europe_1.00.401.3_by_jamesjerss.zip
