I have an Xperia Play R800X Locked bootloader. I saw on wotanserver that there was another firmware version available for my R800x that ends in .88. My current firmware ends in .89 and is 2.3.2 Is .88 2.3.3? What do I get by updating to 2.3.3 if that is what is is (PSN?)? Do i need to unlock bootloader to use wotan. I also have removed much of the bloatware, and added CWM recovery.
P.S.: To all developers; Any word on 4.0 ICS for the CDMA R800X? I (and many other R800X users) am willing to make a nice donation to the first developer to crack it.
Thanks, Zach
Yes, I think .88 is the latest R800x firmware (2.3.3). No, you don't need to be unlocked to use Wotanserver and you can update with it regardless of deleted apps (it re-installs them when it updates). I think it's mainly a bugfix/stability update or something. Pretty sure you'll have to re-install CWM too

We have a stable MIUI(ICS based) and ICS in the android dev section. (Unlocked bootloader needed)

I thought miui was scrapped and ics was only for GSM at the moment. I have a r800x cdma. If I am wrong, could you throw me links for these? Thanks

However, the MIUI version does not yet support CDMA, so far as I can tell.

not yet, so far my guess is that the Phone.apk for MIUI doesn't like the build.prop, I need to look into it more...

I have an r800x and don't use phone or data very much. (I have a differrnt phone for that this one is on a prepaid plan). If I flashed gsm firmware .58 on r800x (verizon) would everything else work? Because I wanted to try some gsm roms but they require gsm firmware. 58 flashed beforehand. Please respond, thanks.

There is a possibility that you will get a black screen after boot if you try that. Especially with gsm custom roms. I wouldn't recommend you do that.

You can not install any GB firmware on your R800x. Simple as that. If there was a way there would've been a thread about it a long time ago.

I am telling TA you can install on the r800x. I'm not saying you can make calls or text. But you will have the homescreens. And you will be able to use the phone. I do not know what is different about this firmware T.A. but it works on my phone without leaving me with a black homescreen.

Is there any way to get ICS stock on r800x? I saw a lot of stock based ROMs but they were all only gsm. I don't care if service works just want a booting ROM. I know r800x didn't get ICS beta but are there any that work or have been ported. Thanks

You can already install ics. You just need to flash Doom's ics beta kernel then flash rom via CWM. The install process is the same as installing any custom roms into your device. You wont get phone service btw.

Try using whatever kernel you want, what is very important is that flash the correct FTF. Try using an R800x FTF and flash any kernel and ROM. Also you can try using a CDMA Neo L ICS Firmware (If there's any) and flashing it without the kernel, just flash an ICS Xperia Play kernel...
sadly there is no cdma version of neo l i think because i couldnt find one. Thanks anyway. (already used my 8 for today but ill thank you tomorrow. its free so why not )

My wifi will not connect, if there a fix? 2. I can't download anything with the stock browser, it immediately fails. Fix? 3. Is there A good daemon to control over clocking? 4. Any opinions on which room to install? I'm currently on 2.3.3 stock. Thank you so much, I am no noob but new to this phone and look forward to being an active part of this community.

There aren't many gb roms for r800x they are all stock based but if you want ics or jb I would recommend cm9 for ics or slim bean or pac rom for jb. A gooz stock based gb rom is gin2 blur but id wait till the 22nd for that one because there will be a new update

hi there, first of all is this the version you are using LuPuSv6-GB-LiNaRo.img? because if so the wifi modules should be built in already, it also has a zip file that you can flash on the original post that will fix the wifi issue if not fixed i suggest go back to his original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849536 and start from scratch. on rom to install if you want gaming theres jokawild and auroraplay if you want eye candy ui and pure smoothness theres gin2jellybean, there are also other good roms some for ics.. hope this helps a bit

Cm7 doesn't support touchpads. So you should flash lupus gb/ics its newer than lupus v6 and after flashing.make sure you wipe everything before installing new rom. But for gb id recommend gin2blur or uk rom but I prefer gin2blur. Its razr themed but.if you search ATTACKS themes you can flash whatever one you want because they're all smooth and for r800x

That was probably it, and by wipe e every thing, you mean data, cache, and dalvik? Does wiping data remove recovery? And I need to do this AFTER I flash the kernel and not BEFORE?

Yes, and do it after flashing kernel because system partition sizes are different for each.kernel. and Wiping data does not remove recovery because its built in the kernel.

First you need to download the fastboot files from sonys website. Then find an ics kernel for play. Id recommend lupus. Then download an ics rom and put it on your sd card. Next put the kernel in the fastboot folder and shut down your phone and plug it in while holding the search button. Next type in the command for flashing the kernel in a command window (not sure what it is off the top of my head search in one of the kernel threads. Then unplug your phone and enter recovery.by powering on and pressing volume down. Choose install and pick the rom from your sd card. For more detailed instructions search how to flash rom ls and kernels. There are plenty of guides.

Download cm9.1 from cyangon mods official website. Then try installing it using lupus jelly bean kernel. It has a setting for aosp ICS and should work for cm9. But if you want to play games on your play you should stick to GB ROMs because they are smoother than on ICS.
