So yeah first of all i'm massive dong!
now we got that out of the way. i wanted to install a custom rom to my play. not knowing much about it i got a friend who's into thw whole custom roms etc to help.
he guided me thought it and said it would be ok to flash a CWM rom onto the play without unlocking the bootloader so i did. now the phone wont swich on just the sony ericsson logo and then just a triangle symbol then nothing.
looking about i tried using flashtool and the generic firmware ftf file and it kees failing at 61% *Log file at the bottom* ive also tried sonys own repair applications and for some reason it wont even open. so yeah pretty sure we've duffed the thing but heck thats why i came to you lot!
any help from you fine lot would be extremely appreciated and i thank you for reading.
and yes im a noob, fool,herpa derp etc etc etc.

Your play is not dead ;-).
I don't why but for some reasons, I can't use all the Stock ftf's to get my play back to stock. For me only the HK version really works.
So maybe just switch the ftf file, restart pc first, and see if it gets onto your play.
Have you installed the drivers that comes with flashtool ?
- > But yeah, Flashtool + Stock rom ftf is the way to go.
For the future. Roms sometime work on locked bootloaders and others will not. Always read the dev's thread first . Saves a whole lot of trouble.

Stayed up all night and eventually got a 2.3.2 ftf file to fully install then had to install a proper 2.3.4 ftf and update through the installed update manager but i'm back up and running!
see we did read the rom thread but there was no install instructions at the start just the files and screenshots :S it was this one here we were gonna do the kernel switch after cause he said it would be fine to flash it first then do the kernel later on :S
Hi,
Today I received an XPERIA Play R800i device with a problem that I do not know what is it!! If I turned it on it stuck with the black screen and Sony Ericsson text logo.
I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash the following firmwares using Flashtool 0.8.6.0:
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK.ftf
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf
But here is what I got:

I tried to flash these two FWs as baseband only but I got the same problem.
What can I do? What is the problem?
By the way: is there a way to know what is the version of my Firmware?
Have you installed all of the flashtool drivers?
Yes I have installed the SDK Android
Also I have: "Fastboot and ADB Package"
I also thought that it is better to install DoomKerneL and I successfully done that but the FW could not be flashed yet!!
Try redownloading the firmware and trying again? Or if you can try another PC or laptop. I'm sure the problem can be resolved
Hello all, I am requesting help with my Xperia Play.
It was not working smoothly, so I decided to install a custom ROM. I installed the ICS beta and then attempted to install xDark ICS but it has failed.
Pretty sure its R800i, bought unlocked in the UK
I cannot see anything on screen when I turn the device on
When the power button is pressed it vibrates slightly
I can put it in recovery mode (Holding Back and plugging USB) -light appears green
I can put it in fastboot mode (Holding Search and plugging USB) -light appears blue
When I try to flash any .ftf files with Flashtool it either comes up with an error or stays on "retrieving device information"
I cannot work out how to repair with PC Companion
When I select the .ftf file, no files appear in the firmware content. (I have tried various firmware files but any more would be appreciated)

Sure that your phon has unlock bootloader? (if don't, follow this http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions)
The same problem happened to me... I learn how to unlock bootloader and install roms with flashtools... now I'm running CM9 RC2...
If you know how to flsh see post #5 of this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28977879#post28977879
if you don´t, Tell me!

Unhappy [Q] Flash tool error
Hi seen this before flashtool is saying you need the loader_unlocked.sin file you need to google it download it and place in flashtool/devices/mk16 folder in windows.Then flash again
Its somewhat a common problem with a flashtool. Do as tallman43 said and if this wont help then try to install an older version.
Easy one. Had the same issue. A littlr search in xda helepd me out
Open yor flachtool install folder.
Go to devices folder
Find R800 folder
Copy the unlocked_loader inside, to your MK16 folder.
Enjoy.
Ps. This worked for my arc. Try at ya own risk, but it should work
Sent from my LT15i using birds.
i had this proplem before
I had this problem before in my arc s all I do is go to C>>flashtool>>Firmwares and delete the ftf file I want to flash then go back and but it in the firmware folder and try it ll flash :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
Today i wanted to flash a new rom.
I wiped everything like I'm supposed to. When i tried to install a zip from SDcard i saw it was empty. Only one folder of clockworkmod.
I'm coming from 4.2.2 so I think that might be the problem.
I don't really know what to do right now so could you please help me out?
Thanks.

Use Flashtool. It's more stable and safer when flashing ROM's.

Ok, that means that now you have th .ftf. Push the flash button on Flashtool, choose flashmode, insert that .ftf, let Flashtool prepare the flashing. When prompted, plug the cable in your phone while holding the volume down button. It must work.

I'm glad that it's OK. I cecked that topic, he was talking about something else, wipe including SDCARD before flashing a ROM, but not from SDCARD, flashing through Flashtool But it's good that you managed to solve you problem. Glad to help.
