GSM firmware on r800x - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an r800x and don't use phone or data very much. (I have a differrnt phone for that this one is on a prepaid plan). If I flashed gsm firmware .58 on r800x (verizon) would everything else work? Because I wanted to try some gsm roms but they require gsm firmware. 58 flashed beforehand. Please respond, thanks.

rom: gin2xperia
kernel: doomkernel v2

Only rom I have ever flashed that worked minus calls but everything else seemed to work was true ancestor. Again no calls or data. Wifi worked. There is also a rom made specifically for Verizon that is just a gaming rom only.
Here it is:

There is a possibility that you will get a black screen after boot if you try that. Especially with gsm custom roms. I wouldn't recommend you do that.

In the past I have flashed several different GSM roms on my cdma phone and the only one that worked minis calls was True Ancestor. I am speaking from experience.

You can not install any GB firmware on your R800x. Simple as that. If there was a way there would've been a thread about it a long time ago.

I am telling TA you can install on the r800x. I'm not saying you can make calls or text. But you will have the homescreens. And you will be able to use the phone. I do not know what is different about this firmware T.A. but it works on my phone without leaving me with a black homescreen.

I agree with Ozzman YOU CAN INSTALL TRUE ANCESTOR the basic.phone calls text etc Wong work no signal or data I am also speaking from experiance

[PATCH] *** N7105 AT&T and VZN ROMs on your SPH-L900 *** [N7100 works for ADV Users]

[PATCH] *** N7105 AT&T and VZN ROMs on your SPH-L900 *** [N7100 works for ADV Users]
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You brick it, you fix it!​
This is a combination of work from scrosler and myself. I saw where Scott did this for the VZN GN2 and I modified it to work with the Sprint (SPH-L900) GN2 phones. With this modification your are able to flash N7105 ,AT&T (SGH-I317) and Verizon (SCH-I605) Roms to your phone. Both of those rom bases are confirmed working. Please make sure you do not flash modems/radios for the above listed devices. N7100 INT roms can be flashed using this method ONLY AFTER they have been ported to the N7105/i317 following madmack's guide in this thread. I can confirm that a port I just did of a N7100 rom works as well.
First download the SPH-L900 patch from HEREhttp://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764671
Download a stock SPH-L900 kernel from the bottom of this thread -- Perseus kernels work as well, found HERE
Choose a N7105, SGH-i317 or SCH-I605 rom that does not install modems/radios - The Swedish N7105XXDLL1 4.1.2 stock rooted base can be found HERE
Follow the steps to flash below:
Reboot into recovery
Make a full backup
Perform a complete wipe (cache, dalvik, factory reset, system) in TWRP
Flash the N7105 or SCH-I605 ROM you downloaded
Flash the SPR_GN2_Config zip file
Flash the Stock or Perseus kernel
Wipe Dalvik/Cache
Reboot System
If you happen to do exactly what I told you not to and flashed a rom that installed a modem/radio and you no longer can get signal, if you didn't brick it and can still boot into download mode, you will need THIS FILE to flash in ODIN to restore factory SPH-L900 specs.
WARNING: Data may or may not work if you do not change the mount point for the DATA partition to the correct one in the updater-script!

Holy crap. Nice. The Galaxy Note 2 is truly universal. Thanks for this.
Will this patch work with the miui roms and other aosp roms ? Or strictly the tw roms ? Thanks for the work either way

roms that don't have the modem.bin in the zip file. if they do, you can delete it and edit the updater-script and you should be good to go.
Sounds a bit too advanced and risky for me personally but kudos for letting this over for us!

It didnt work with the MIUI they have on ATT. ROM installed fine, but no data. I did the procedure in the OP step by step.
Possible cause - I think that even thought it is Touchwiz based, it uses MIUI base phone and framework (I am the one who got data to work on the port by lbx_mobbin_1 by tweaking the framework)

The zip replaces all the csc data with sprints....thats the main difference on these phones. Other than that, they are mostly the same. I have flashed a lot of crap on it from other carriers, so not too worried anymore.

R800X newcomer, general questions

Hi all, I am new to this phone and have unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and installed lupas kernel v6. I have some questions, and have tried to find answers but am coming up empty. 1. My wifi will not connect, if there a fix? 2. I can't download anything with the stock browser, it immediately fails. Fix? 3. Is there A good daemon to control over clocking? 4. Any opinions on which room to install? I'm currently on 2.3.3 stock. Thank you so much, I am no noob but new to this phone and look forward to being an active part of this community.

There aren't many gb roms for r800x they are all stock based but if you want ics or jb I would recommend cm9 for ics or slim bean or pac rom for jb. A gooz stock based gb rom is gin2 blur but id wait till the 22nd for that one because there will be a new update

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

i have just purchased an xperia play r800x from my local retail, my carrier is Appalachian Wireless, not verizon, my phone is stuck on 2.3.3, and i really want to update to ICS but im really not sure what to do, i paid the $15 fee to get my bootloader unlocked from alejandrissimo, nice guy i might add, and im really needing some guidance on were to go now, any help would be awesome, and im sorry to jump this thread but i really didnt think the forums wanted 3 or 4 post of noob questions like mine, i dont want to mess my phone up and i dont have insurance on it, thanks in advance
First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.

What you could do is try other universal root methods, doubt most would work with knox intact... And you run the risk of bricking your device.

Always thought flashing different modems/radios from other variants were not a good idea.
The stock kernel that comes with the GE rom works on our TMo variants and aside from that I've had LTE working on GE as well.

I had to go back to a 4.2.2 GE.. This rom killed my battery..
I downloaded the deodexed version but am hesitant to flash. Has anyone flashed the deodexed version? Does it install with no issues using CWM, does it break root (I read in other forums this happened to people), does it play nicely with supersu? Are there really any differences from Android 4.2.2? I am just curious if anyone has any feedback on the rom. Thanks.

GB Rom for R800x

I have an R800x with unlocked bootloader. I've flashed the Lupus GB kernel and I'm looking for a good gaming ROM. There don't seem to be too many choices for a GB rom on r800x with CDMA service. I'm guessing COLA or Darkforest are my only choices? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Stock rooted debloated and tweaked is your best bet

Hmm. I just realized that WiFi doesn't work with the LuPuS kernel. How do I get back to stock?

Please don't try this. This is my old ancient ugly POS rom. I mean it runs smooth but it's really ugly...
This one is OK though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067356

Your Rom looks great! Quick question. I am guessing that the google navigation app is removed in the Rom? If so can I back it up with Titanium and restore it in your Rom? Thanks!

I got an Md5 mismatch error when I tried restoring the Rom. Any ideas?

in the thread they said to rename the folder as a date like a normal backup. check out the thread.

Why aren't there many r800x gaming roms?

All I've seen are jellybean and ics roms that I really don't want. I want service on my phone but don't want jellybean/ics because of it's performance compared to gb. Any good r800x gaming roms?
To answer your question. I have tried several roms both on the Verizon model and my current GSM model. Stock debliated with no v6 supercharger or scripts gains you the best performance. Especially on Verizon's as it was stock based firmware. I believe I still have my old nandroid backup laying around. Stock debloated 2.3.3. Do not get 2.3.4. VZ broke the Google sync and it was never fixed
Because 99% of the devs didn't have an r800x. And as Sony only released ICS as a beta for GSM it was never successfully ported to Verizon's model.
I owned an R800x before getting a GSM model.

Edit - This should be a stock debloated 2.3.3 for VZ with root.

It's a nandroid backup. Put it on your phone and boot into cwm and restore it like its a back up. You have to be on 2.3.3 first.
