If your bootloader is locked, you can repair it with Sony's PC Companion program for windows.
If your bootloader is unlocked, your only choice is to use flashtool to flash stock firmware

hey thanks for the reply, i read around a bit and downloaded flashtool, but when i run the flashtool it says 'preparing files for flashing' and then my phone just goes and reboots to get stuck on sony ericsson again, not giving time for flashtool to flash the phone.

You have to switch it off first before connecting, then connect while holding back when they ask you to in Flashtool.
Just to be safe, remove the battery and replace it after switching off.

Download the zip on the sdcad then install this kernel.
> Sony Ericsson Xperia Play > Xperia Play Android Development > [KERNEL][PLAY] LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9][LINARO 4.7.3][19-06-13]
It's working fine for me.

Well first you need a unlocked bootloader.
Then, you have to flash a ICS kernel for an ICS ROM (using fast boot)
LuPuS is a good kernel and is pretty stable too.
After that just install the ROM through CWM.

I don't know about that. But you can try it. In worst case, it won't do anything at all.
But i'm sure that Emma (son'ys flashtool for unlocked BL) will work. Here is a link

Evening all,
Im posting on behalf of my little brother so go easy on me, My little brother flashed a rom on his xperia play using ROM Manager (i think it was called mark ICS rom) now when he boots his phone it goes into the usual sony Ericsson splash screen for about 20 seconds that splash screen disappears but the screen stays on with no activity at all.
Does anyone know how to rescue his phone?

Have you tried reflashing the stock FTF using the Flashtool?
Pulling the battery, putting the device in flashmode and reflashing the stock FTF should take care of it, hopefully.
did he flash the actual ICS kernel before booting the phone?

That is your problem he never flashed an ICS kernel. Which has to be done in fastboot mode. Use flashtool or
Code:
fastboot flash boot (kernelname).img
You cant boot an ICS ROM with GB kernel...

Hi, you must get flashtool then a FTF file (can be uk, world etc).
Do as flashboot with the FTF file then your brothers phone is fixed
if you want to return the mobile phone to be guaranteed, download the FTF from a previous version 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 and then relock bootloader does it with a FTF.
After that makes the update by sony pc companion to 2.3.4.
And is his bootloader unlocked?

Hello! I'm having a problem with my xperia arc S, I tried to install a ROM (ULTIMATE HD 3.1) but I didn't have the wifi modules, so my phone got stuck on boot, so I figured that I got a bootloop, and went to flash the kernel (562), root again again and flash the new kernel (587) to try and install the ROM again, but the phone didn't root, but I flashed the .587 kernel and can't flash it back to .562. I can't figure what's the problem the flashtool says it's flashed but in setting the "compilation number" just says that it has the new kernel.
So my problem is how can I flash back to .562 and root the phone? I already tried this a few times ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343[/url]), but it dosen't work. what else can I do? Try with another kernel?
I also tried this, but it didn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711. I don't know if it helps but i have the bootloader locked.
Sorry if repost, google but didn't find anything related. thanks anyway.

If you cannot repair with Update Service, try PC Companion. It should offer the repair function.

Had a similar problem, caused by wrong kernel (at least i think so). Anyho, there was no "repair" option for me either.
What you should do is:
- Flash back to stock GB firmware (0.62)
- Root (using eRoot, it's a one click procedure.)
- Install CWM using RecoveryX is the simplest way i'd say
- Flash the kernel which Jared proposed (can't remember which one sorry)
- boot into CWM, and follow the instructions to install UltimadeHD rom. I'd suggest Tesla's instructions, they are fail-proof. Remember to click on "unlocked bootloader" if your bootloader is locked.

And if restoring the phone can't solve your problem, it was because you have experiencing a faulty battery...
You need to send to Sony service center for repair...

For a better support you should tell us which kernel are you using, and which ROM you were using before flashing NeXPLay.
If you just made the mistake of installing NeXPay (ICs ROM) on a GB kernel, then you don't need to reset everything with flashtool.
thanks but i just flashed my verizon rom with flashtool and that seems to get me back...
now which custom firmware/rom is the best for R800x?

Depends on how you use your phone. If you are a gamer then you should try a LuPuS kernel and a Gingerbread ROM but if you don't care about gaming then you can try a ICs ROM and which kernel you prefer.
If you need some in choosing one of the many ICs/GB ROMs, just ask
