hi, I'm a newbie and don't want to brick my phone. my model number is lt26w running 4.1.2 build no. 6,2,B.0.200 , since updating my phone it no longer picks up my sim, I want to root it but really have no idea where to start. Please could you help
I suggest using the repair tool found in the support zone
Ps its in the sony companion app (for your pc)
Take note again - if the issue is still there it could be a region problem

I've always used a free program (for outlook sync) that has a build in screenshot feature, it's called MyPhoneExplorer, but i dunno for sure if this also works for unrooted phone (on the site it says it should).

I've found "Screenshot It" app... but I am rooted. There is a "no root" version as well.

Is it rooted?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
No. It isn't
I would suppose either try really hard to remember the password, or re-flash the firmware
How would I go about flashing the firmware ?
dont flash the firmware .. but do a hard reset. For instructions on doing a hard rest.. just google how to hard reset xperia play
I tried that and i followed the steps involving pc companion . The only thing about that is it keeps saying Sony Ericcson server overload . No matter how many tries it always says that toward the final steps
Use flashtool and download one of the stock firmwares from the dev section here
Flashtool is pretty easy to use once setup
You can use WotanServer to flash firmware, Slightly more user friendly.
Does usb debugging have to be on ?

With wotanserver you pull the bettery put the usb in then hold the search button then put the battery and it will boot in to fastboot or something and it will flash it that way, so I would imagine it would not need to be on, I don't know since I have USB debugging on all the time. Flash tool and Wotan do the same thing, and both have instructions before it starts flashing.

Sounds useful. Do you have a link that would take to download wantonserver ?
Why dont you try reinstalling the firmware from pc companion. Just go to software update and repair your software...
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Go with wontanserver since its easy and you can pick any firmware version you want and it will download and flash it for you with 1 click
Wontanserver costs money plus I'm not sure if it works for the Verizon cdma Xperia play
It's much easier if you sit there for hours trying to guess the password.... How did you forget it??? It's something your unlocking at least once per hour....

Wotanserver does not cost any money at all its totally free and it does have the cdma firmware on it. Maybe you should just check it out before down playing it

Yes it costs if you want to have it unlocked but that's not the case here flashing is 100% free for SE phones and if he wondering about "other" phones this is the wrong place!

Hi,
It's a great app, but it doesn't work in the Sony 2011 lineup. Sony disables wifi direct in the ICS ROMS so there is no option to turn it on
Custom Rom
Some mode
Any idea

It might be enabled in CM9 and CM10, seen as they are built from the original code and not using Sonys code as a base......
Anyone still on GB Or using CM
Give a try

hi mangemayur,
I'm WiFi Shoot developer, sorry to disappoint you, but if the market is not allowing you to download it's because it will not work on your device.
It's filtering to only allow on devices with ICS or up (it needs the ICS WiFi Direct APIs to work) and that do have WiFi direct (duh).
Without those APIs and hardware driver the app WILL fail. It's not a matter of giving a try, it will fail for sure!!
If some ROM developer built WiFi Direct on its ROM and the market still does not accept, you should complain with the developer as he did not properly declare the device capabilities for market access.
regards,
Budius

You can download flashtool and flash the 2.3.3 ftf. There's a 2.3.4 ftf as well but google sync is broken. If you don't care about gsync then go with it. Seqrch flashtool for 2011 xperia devices on here or on google. Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 and look under ftfs for the one you want. Then shut down your phone hold the back button and plug in tge usb to cpu. Click on flash (af lightning bolt symbol in top left and choose the ftf. WARNING:THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA AND SINCE YOU DONT WANT TO ROOT YOU CANT BACK THEM UP WITH TITANIUM BACKUP.

I think you mean PC because every PC and smartphone needs a CPU to run....anyways if you don't have a PC your probably Sol unless your on froyo or low gingerbread then apps like z4root and ginger break may be able to root your phone

Hi xda friends I have managed to find a fix for sound effects not working correctly on Z1 4.3jb .136 StockRom by using some older Sony fw files. By applying this fix you will have all sound effects working in movies incl xloud and overall volume levels will be back to what they should be. Just flash the zip using Twr or Cwm.
Before install you must;
- Be on Stock .136 4.3jb Rom.
- Be rooted.
- Have dual recovery installed.
- Perform nandroid backup before installing (just in case it goes wrong).
NOTE....
What you do to your device is your choice and responsibility, If you break it then you fix it!

you are on a C6902, the fix is for C6903. C6902 firmware will have differences to the C6903 firmware, hence why you cant notice the difference.

Guys I need you all to report back if it works or not for you, but only if you meet the current Rom requirements. If the bug also exists on the C6902 variant I can try to find a fix but won't be able to test it, I sold all my other xperia's and only kept my Z1 C6903 model.

its fine now, i dont know what it is but i have trouble downloading small files from mega. Any how, just tested on a c6903 on 136 firmware rooted and recovery all available of course. The bass has now gone up on the videos, they sound like they did on 257 firmware, i havent tested in 3rd party apps though, should the sound fix also work in 3rd party apps?
It depends on how the 3rd party apps are designed. Some use their own (built into the app) libraries for sound output and others will use the device effects for sound output.
