I have a R800i model and I can't find the stock 4.0.2.a.0.42 firmware anywhere to root it... Can I flash the R800a firmware into it? Will it cause any trouble?
What is a filmware ?

If you have locked bootloader, you can use PC Companion to flash .42 firmware
If you have unlocked bootloader you can use Sony's Emma software to flash .42 firmware
Then just root it with zergrush method...
But if you can't find it that way, i'll upload that firmware, but it may take hours, so first try PC companion or Emma
Thank you man! Used Emma and it worked like a charm!

I bought an xperia play 4g second hand, and i'm looking to get it back to stock. it's a r800at,with the true ancestor rom. Bootloader is locked. I'm slightly familiar with the phone and how it was rooted and modded, mostly because i helped the original owner (a buddy of mine) with all of that.

Why does it say R800i if it's an R800at?

different firmware; it's using this rom with this firmware.
Anyway, you just need to use flashtool to flash a stock rom and that should be it. I think you have to use 2.3.3 on a R800at.
You can get the ftf files for flashtool here

My device is not S or Ion, it`s T, sorry for asking a question here, but maybe someone know about this problem and give ma an advice how can i solve it.
The problem is, when i flash f/w via Flashtool or simply upgrading f/w via SEUS, afetr flashing i get this

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And the phone doesn`t boot. The only f/w that works normally after this issue is a f/w made by me in Flashtool, that was in phone from box. And the only way to successful flashing with any method, is the factory reset with internal storage wipe. If i do it from any working system, i can flash phone with any method, everything will be OK, but if i don`t do wipe, i`ll get this bug again and again. I don`t know why is this happens, maybe you van help me?
PS Bootloader is factory locked.

Hi,
yes, you can flash CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31911745&postcount=1
It is CWM 6.0.15 and the most compatible with Aroma (should you install a custom ROM with Aroma later)
If you want CMW+ROOT and flash with odin, take this one: cwm6-root-n7100-121015.rar

not working bro thx for solution,.. no signal
Issue: Flashtool wont flash because ATT Xperia Ion doesn't have the correct drivers to do so and sony pc companion refuses to do so itself.
backstory: I was modding some stuff, i messed up and thought "should just reflash" went to reflash and realized it was failing and found another solution "barely" and i dont want the failed flashing to ever happen when i need it
OS: windows 8.1
basically i need to install drivers for xperia ion flashtool to flash
