Hey, I broke my Xperia R800x again, beyond repair. I am going to get my Galaxy S4 as my Daily Driver next week, but I won't leave the XPlay. I just want to modify fully my Xperia. So, I will buy a new XPlay, but because I will customize my XPlay this time with ROMs and Kernels, I need to know which is better for the job, a R800a/at or a R800i?

Go for R800i because R800a don't have fastboot mode. R800i is most easy to unlock bootloader ( via sony's site method).

Yea go for the r800i as that's the most developer friendly version out there

R800a can be boot loader unlocked via Sony just like the R800i, both are the same when it comes to development really. R800a has fast boot mode as well just the same, only difference between r800a and r800i is the r800a had hspa+ capabilities (At&t / Tmobile 4g) I have one of every verison made.
The R800AT will need someone to unlock it, because you cannot on Sony's and after wards the development is just the same as R800i. All of the GSM models can use the same kernels and firmware. (I have tried them all)

So is the R800i the best, right? I really don't care about carrier since I said I will move to the Galaxy S4 as my daily driver but I just want a XPlay that has best best development?

Using a r800i and its easy to root, bootloaderunlock, and to flash kernels and custom roms. Ive flashed loads of roms easy so go with r800i, from an experienced user .

So I recently received my R800x play back from insurance after a few months of not having it. I was wondering what I need to do to root it. I rooted my first one by unlocking the bootloader but browsing through the forums it looks like obtaining the code to do so is not possible? Also, I saw something about rooting with a locked bootloader. Does this still allow me to have a custom kernel so I can set the speed of the phone and such? Thanks in advance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859 Make sure you have 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 (If verizon has released it), You can use Superoneclick or Dooms, I used Dooms, no issues, Works fine. (R800i Here)
OK, I'll give it shot. I know in the past the cdma play was a little different than the rest

Still is. You won't be able to flash a custom kernel.

Is there any way at all to unlock the bootloader? I really want a custom kernel so I can use cm7. I read somewhere about a paid method to do it.
Last I heard, your best bet was to pm that user. I'm sorry, their name escapes me.

If you still have the unlock code, you can probably use it again I believe.

I have the unlock code but the R800x I have is not the same as the one before. What is the possible damage I could do by using that code? If incorrect would it brick my phone or simply fail to unlock?

I looked at my brother's phone, the R800AT, and it had the update notification. I clicked it thinking ICS was here for him, and it checked for about ten minutes and said there is no update. Did anyone else get a notification?

There WILL be. Just not for those with unlocked boot loaders and R800a/at/x users. R800i users must lock the boot loader again before updating.

My guess is that they're going to change the partition layout substantially and they can't do that OTA.

I am pretty sure the r800at still doesn't have 2.3.4 sadly.

Say I have an r800x that isn't connected I just use It like an ipod. If I flashed an ics rom to it but not a kernal would it still work with no radio or would it just brick my device?

No matter what is the phone you use, ICS always needs a new kernel, well, not actually, depends on what rom are we talking about. Not sure about what happens next... more info?

The kernel does a lot more than just manage data. I think someone needs to go find out what a kernel does.

Hey guys whats the best custom roms for a locked bootloader, i don't mean ICS roms, just what in your opinion on the best and why ie for gaming etc.
also has there ever been a free way to unlock the bootloader, i've heard some stuff about Omnius for Sony Ericsson, is it possible yet?
I'd say NXT v2 from. Think its v2. Might be 1.2 though lol
You on a carrier branded device?

Tried that one a few months ago actually. Wasn't bad, except had an issue with my account being swapped for another one on an online game after flashing. Not sure how that happened. After I finally got that fixed with numerous emails to the game developer I flashed my old stock backup.

I've actually been wanting this too. From my research, the best you can find are GBTweaked, ICSTweaked, and DarkForest. I've tried GBTweaked, but have yet to try the others.
Gin2jellybean works also with locked

I want to try gin2jellybean but scared because my flash tool won't flash my phone.

Why a ROM? Why not just flash a theme? If your on Verizon 2.3.3 you can flash one of my theme's. Click the red link in my signature and have a look.
Problem is, he's got an R800X. I'm not sure if Gin2JB Works on it or not...
Since its Sony based rom then yes. If you have looked to ROM thread there are instructions for locked bloader.

Its more the fact that its harder to convert a Sony based ROM than it is to convert an AOSP ROM.

Get GBTweaked and GO Launcher EX, then use the included theme on it. I'm using it, and it runs beautifully. Leraeniesh did a great job with it, and he's constantly improving it. *Cough*It'd be nice to see a version updated for JB*Cough*
