Flashtool
Try flashing a stock firmware in Flashtool, good luck.

Now downloading the stock firmware using sony update service, will update about the situation when it is done

Update Service with an unlocked bootloader is a bad idea.

Try this.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Official flashtool to go back to stock rom.
And as the guy above told you, SEUS on unlocked bootloader is a bad thing.

Hi. I have same problem.
Just flashed FreeXperia rom and gapps. Phone wont to power up. Just geting blue led or green.
Any clue? My bootloader is locked.
tried to use official xperia update tool but it wont to recognise my phone (maybe i doing sth wrong :/)

No it's not. If you have root you can push cwm via adb.

I'm talking about Cyanogen Mod (CM) not CWM. Next time read carefully.

Try this..
Dude,
As the others have said you cannot install FXP CM10 on a device with a locked bootloader.
As such your device will not boot, your options are to either.
1) use flashtool to flash a stock rom - instuctions how to use flashtool can be found on the forum
2) use Sony update service to flash back to stock - This is the easier option, but all your data will be wiped.
Once the device will boot up, if you still want to use FXP roms then unlock the bootloader first, or try a rom for locked bootloaders.
Either of the above should work for you.

yea phone works again fine on the stock

At least you show others, do not flash custom ROM if it's only for unlocked bootloader.
If you have locked bootloader you can't flash custom kernel and you will stuck in bootloop.

You try use flashtool to flash a stock rom.

[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

[Q] Sony Xperia Arc S won't boot up.

When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.
you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Try to flash another kernel.When the phone is switched off, press the menu button and plugin the usb cable.It will start in the fastboot mode.Try to flash a stock kernel with cwm.Also if you need any custom rom zip, you can remove the microsd and put any Installation zip files in it via your computer and install them view CWM

[Q] Please Help xperia acting odd

ok so tonight i decided to unlock my xperia play's bootloader i followed the guide on sony's website. and all went ok.
But after restarting it froze after the boot animation and won't fully boot. But if i press vol up or down the phone makes sounds as if its booted please help or my parents will kill me.:crying:
It also wont boot into recovery no matter what i press or do
Flash stock firmware with flashtool.
Or flash custom kernel and custom rom.

but cant you only use flashtool when the phone is on.
Also lupus is the kernel i want to flash.
is there a way to use flashtool with the phone off?
Also is lupus compatable with CM10
Hold down search button while plugging phone in you will get into fastboot mode then choose fastboot mode press select kernel to flash and select kernel and done. If you want to unbrick or return to stock download a ftf file for your phone and move it to flashtool folder then firmwares then go to flashtool then press flashmode then select ftf file then follow instructions and this should help

When you unlock bootloader PC companion update don't work anymore. Forget about using it as repair software
As i said in first reply:
-power off your phone (removing battery will do the trick)
-hold back button and connect usb cable to Play
-flash stock frimware with flashtool (tutorial how to use it is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
(read on if you want custom kernel/ROM)
-download ROM you want to use and place it in SD Card
-power off your phone
-hold search and connect usb cable to Play
-in flashtool, click on lighting icon, choose fastboot mode and select kernel you want to flash
-remove usb cable
-power on phone, and phone vibrate press volume down key (Volume down is for CWR, volume up is for TWRP recovery in lupus kernel, for doomlord kernel is back button)
-format system and data from recovery
-choose "install zip from sdcard" and choose ROM that you put in sc card
Keep in mind that kernel must match rom you are instaling. JB kernel for JB roms, ICS kernels for ics roms, GB kernel for GB roms
List of roms and firmwares you can find at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897

[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.

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

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?
