[Q] Cannot get wifi to work - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I borrowed my friends PC to search properly, and no matter what I do, I cannot get wifi to work. I flashed the newer Lupus ICS/GB kernel, it would not work. I ran the Lupus options, enabled GB script, now I can turn wifi on, but it still hangs on obtaining ip adress. Same as it did on his older kernel. Is it just lupus? I dont have my PC, I am in virgina working right now and its hard for me to change kernels often so I would like not to again if there is some other fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you have to flash the WiFi modules.

have you tried doing the resset on the lupus menu?
because if GB fix did not work doing the reset will clear all markers, give it a try while you dont have access to a good ol pc

All you need is the img, which is already rooted, the ftf is for those with a locked boot loader.
ok cool thanks thought i may need to do both as people were complaining of losing wifif, ok here goes then cheers for the help

Might be an idea if you do have issues to flash the ftf and wipe user data, but I just flashed the image and haven't had any issues.
Had to do both in the end as WiFi didn't work, all good now though

[Q] PLAY bricked?

Hi, so I tried to flash (using fastboot) DooMsKernel v14, it all looked nice and good,
but after that I tried to restart/enter recovery mode, and nothing happened.
My PLAY only reacts to power button by vibrate, and can enter to fastboot.
I tried to flash it again and flash another ROM (CM9), nothing worked.
Any help please?
Its fairly impossibly to brick the play. Since it can get into fastboot bootloader must be unlocked flash both kernel and Rom to stock.

You have an unlocked bootloader just flash doom the kernel and put a Rom on your sd to install. Then first time you boot you press the back button or the menu one or something.and then doom kernel will let you select a Rom.

The safest way is flashing kernel with flashtools
I think ur problem of boot is because of corrupted download download the kernel again and try to flash it if doesn't worked try an other kernel for example lupus kernel

Ok, so now I try to root the PLAY again, using OneClickRoot. Only one problem - it gets stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
And I also tried OneClickRoot with my friend`s phone (LG Optimus Black) - same result, stuck in "Verify Rooting Compatibility"..
Is this OneClickRoot`s problem`s, or it just suppose to take long time, or what?

The firat time you start doomkernel it will seem like your phone is bricked as soon as you press power atart pressing the back button and a screen will come up that will allow you to install a Rom off the sd card. I thought mune was bricked firat time. When doom starts the blue led starts its not flash its just what it does.
1. Turn on the phone
2. Press back button until Rom flashing screen pops up
3. Install Rom from sd
4. Boot rom

Most custom Roms are prerooted, so if you're going to install one anyway, you don't have to root your Play manually.
If you can't flash .ftf through flashtool, you could try another download source, had a similar problem a few months ago, many downloads simply didn't work. And using another USB port on my computer fixed my problem with the flash process getting stuck while flashing with flashtool, was strange, but solved the problem.
By the way, if this .238 is android 2.3.4 it probably can't be rooted, if you want stock rom with root you have to downgrade to 2.3.3
So is it qorking yet?

Well, I'm rooted with .238, but my problem is that google apps don't work - it tries to download apps and then stop the ddownload, without any error (Every app)..
So I thought I would try to install a costum ROM, problem is - I cant install recovery.. Tried a few methods, all didn't work.. 2 option, either I didn't succeed on download and installing the recovery, or I can't boot into it..
Any help pls?

[Q] Failed to flash DoomKernelV14 on R800i

For some reason DoomKernelV14 refuses to boot on my phone.
From Stock GB (unlocked bootloader), I tried flashing it with fastboot by using
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(After re-naming the DoomKernelV14.img file to boot.img of course and putting it in my fastboot folder).
After that, fastboot reported that flashing was successful, so I went to turn my phone on so I could boot into recovery so I could install Dixperia 2, and all I got was a quick vibrate and a black screen of nothing. Having done that I did a battery pull so I could put the phone back into fastboot mode, and use the commands:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
After this I could put the phone back into Flash Mode (which I was unable to do after attempting to flash DoomKernel. From here I flashed the Stock ROM so I could turn my phone back on again.
After this I tried the above again, using the erase userdata/system commands above before I flashed DoomKernel and had the same problem.
Could anyone offer any insight as to what I might be doing wrong?
My phone is using a -64 baseband, and a .62 build number.
BUMP
Have you tried redownload the kernel? Maybe your download is corrupted.
And after your phone vibrated and stayed dark, have you unpluged your cable and took out your batterie a few seconds and then tried to start it again? And you shoud always erase userdata, dalvik and perform a factory reset if you flash a new rom or use a new kernel.

Yes done all that, to no avail Each time I have done this I have been going from Stock GB (unlocked bootloader). I also tried re-downloading the Kernel and that did not work. I have installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 in the past with no problems (before going back to Stock GB) so how come DoomKernel is causing no end of problems?

It seems like many users have problems with DoomKernel v14 (just look at the last 10 questions). Maybe you could just try another kernel, like lupus. is this the first time you try dommkernel v14 or worked it in the past for you?

It's from one of those theards i mentioned [Q]Play bricked?
The only people who have trouble with kernels seem to not read the directions before they flash it they flash it and think omg im bricked it wont turn on . If the blue led shows doom is working you just need a Rom on you sd card and start pressing the back button as soon as you see the blue led and an installation screen will pop up. This is so you dont have to see the install screen everytime you boot. Before you install a Rom make sure its compatible with doom

Except there was no blue light on, nor any light at all for that matter. Also, since I was not able to get as far as even installing a ROM, I should also note that I had done my research, and was going to be installing Dixperia 2 (and the author of that ROM says to use DoomKernelV14). I was going from Stock GB.
I ought to note that I never said it was bricked, as I have been able to get back to Stock GB, as noted in the original post.
Before you go walking into posts implying people didn't read the instructions you should probably read the original post.
Now does anyone have anything helpful to add?

How does one go about obtaining these?
Flashtool is a simple copy paste when you do the install. Im sure you can find the log in flashtools files. The logfile from the play should be in /cache. And is a. Log file. Maybe called lastinstall.log or something similiar.
I havent had a play for a while so dont quote me on that lol but if its not there im sure someone.in the forum knows where it is.
