[Q]Safe mode? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After fixing my Xperia Play, and flashed a new kernel and ROM, it's now stuck in safemode. The menu button is also not working. And I already tried searching for a fix, I couldn't find anything.
How do I get it out of safe mode and fix the menu button?

What safemode? You mean recovery or fastboot mode? Does kernel you flashed matching your rom?
-If it's stuck in recovery (as no menus showed in it) you can erase partitions with pc and adb (enter fastboot with powering on hold search button):
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
That should fix recovery problem, you just need to flash rom again
-or you can recover by flashing stock ftf

I'll try the fastboot method even though it doesn't relate to recovery.
And for the ftf, which one should I use?

You are right, it isn't related to recovery.
What rom you tried?
Latest ftf is .79
what is your Play model? R800i?

Try again from:
-Flash .79 , boot into rom, see does sim and menu button is working (if not, maybe is hardware/sim problem)
-Flash kernel, enter recovery, wipe data/system, flash rom. If not working, maybe it's rom related.

I can't seem to fix it lol.
But anyways, is there such thing as a flashable zip that completely disabled the usage of the menu button? Or at least disables safe mode?

Safe mode I believe is like windows safe mode meaning that a driver or something failed to load so like a above poster said turn it off and on again via power menu and see if it takes it out

I have already tried this, but still no dice. I believe it's a hardware issue, It doesn't even recognize the Menu button in recovery.

Well your best bet is to do a full ftf flash and see if all goes well

[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] R800x won't boot even after flashing stock firmware

I unlocked the boot loader and I'm assuming the phone automatically updated over night, because now it won't boot, only vibrates. I tried using the flashtool and even though it says it does it successfully, it still won't boot. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358 referenced but the file it links to is not up. Can some one reup the file some where or give me some other advice?
Well does the led flash red 3 times?

[Q] How to enter Recovery Mode on Ion

Hey, I have a friend with a Sony Xperia Ion (as identified by my computer) she's locked out of it; someone else tried to figure out her pattern and entered it more than 20 times. As far as I know, she doesn't know her secret question or her google account information, either.
My plan to try to bypass the pattern lock is to use AROMA file manager to delete the gesture.key file in /data/system, hopefully that'll remove the pattern lock. So here are my questions:
How can I mount the filesystem on USB to transfer AROMA to her SD?
How can I get into recovery mode to flash AROMA?
The second one is what I really don't get. How does recovery mode work on the Xperia Ion? I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Everything I've tried (Hold volume up/volume down/both while powering on) still causes the phone to boot normally.
Did you flash recovery before? If yes you may have to rap SONY logo 5-6 times while booting to get in to recovery or press volume + button 5-6 times while booting. Remember Sony phones do not have stock recovery. You have to flash custom recovery.
And I know another way to remove lock code. Just flash stock ftf. But are you going to loose all the apps.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Thanks!!! I didn't realize sony phones lacked a stock recovery. I don't want to flash stock ftf becuase I want to preserve apps if at all possible. Can you recommend a custom recovery to flash?

[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 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?

Bricked E975 with not working vol + and -, need help!

Hey, guys. I just got bricked my phone and I can not find any solution. My vol + buttno seems not to be working and the vol- button is working from time to time. The phone was with CM 12 Lillipop and I git update but I didn't like it. So I did not wiped everything before to flash it back with the original ROM (CM12) so I got bootloop of android logo. Is there any way to put it into recovery mode or something without vol + /I could make vol- to work somehow/? Please, I heed help!

Bro calm down! Just download tools and flash stock kdz
First hold both volume down buttons and connect your phone to PC with cable while holding both volume buttons. Does download mode appear? If it does then flashing stock kdz will get your phone back!

As I said before, my volume buttons are not working properly. That's the reason I made this thread- to find out if I can save my phone or not. I already tried flashing with kdz, but I can not boot the phone in any mode but bootloop CM lollipop logo. Also I can not install MTP on PC as it seems to be the problem when I tried with adb command prompt.
So, is there any other way except repair service for the volume buttons?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using XDA Free mobile app
Aah I got your problem. You have bootloader unlocked? To flash kdz you need a locked bootloader. Try locking it somehow (kinda impossible if you can't boot :/ ). Once you flash stock recovery and lock bootloader then you'll be able to flash kdz! I think you need to go to repair shop to fix buttons

By the way, I did installed a custom recovery via FreeGee. Since then when I reboot the phone, it shows Google and a locked locker at the bottom. It could mean locked bootloader, right? Also I have backup and all the files i need in there, but the problem is I can not reach them. Tomorrow I am going to talk to the service. I hope there's a hope
Anyway, thank you again, @MZ_
If anyone else has something in mind, please - I am opened for suggestions
Well yes it means a locked bootloader. If you could go to fastboot you could try fastboot oem unlock command. As the mako boot loader is nexus based ... Just a thought. Can you get a temp fix your vol up button? Any hard thing which presses button? :/

locked or unlocked BL has nothing to do with the download mode. You have to take your device to download mode using some commands from PC. search for this. I think this sould work: adb reboot download

Dude he can't connect with ADB! Please readout the post first! He is in a softbricked state. He has recovery but his keys are damaged. I think the bootloader is locked that's why it isn't booting up (maybe) ... Or the ROM is damaged. Anyways he can't do anything till he fixes both the volume buttons!

/EDIT: adb reboot download isn't anything
Press THANKS if I help
Yeah, @MZ_. I am not able to do anything like this. I tried adb, but it said no device found. I took the phone to the service today so I am waiting for respond. Once again, thank you all for the suggestions. ROM is not corrupted. It is cm 12 working perfect, but when I updated it there was lots of lagg. So I did the mistake just to wipe cache and dalvik before to reflash the original ROM. So that's how I got bricked my phone. So now I am gonna wait hopefully for good ):

Well, it can't be bricked like that btw, and yeah! You need to fix your buttons in order to continue. Else use a hard thing to press them tightly so it work! Sorry

Guys, I have news. The service fixed the buttons so now works like charm. So back to the business-can I do a full wipe then install the rom or I have to use kdz or so? I mean it boots into download and recovery mode.
Thanks.

Well, yes you can now... I'd recommend you go for CM11 ... I'm really happy that it worked out :>
Hit THANKS if I help, or you like my post!
Hm, I thought the recovery is OK, but it is not. Only the download mode is working. What's now? Please, I need it urgently...

I flashes stock with kdz then I did reboot into recovery. Then I just wiped everything, flashed back cm12 with gapps and now it works perfect.

Hey, guys. I just got bricked my phone and I can not find any solution. My vol + buttno seems not to be working and the vol- button is working from time to time. The phone was with CM 12 Lillipop and I git update but I didn't like it. So I did not wiped everything before to flash it back with the original ROM (CM12) so I got bootloop of android logo. Is there any way to put it into recovery mode or something without vol + /I could make vol- to work somehow/? Please, I heed help!
