Hello all, Just bricked my r800x!

Hello, I got my xperia play a couple of days ago and unlocked the bootloaders for it today, It was on 2.3.3 and some old firmware, to my stupidity I installed the KA13 Rom and doomlord kernel, without first updating the firmware.
So now when i turn it on it buzzes and hangs on the sony ericcson logo, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try a different kernel/ROM combination.

PS. you're not bricked, you're stuck in a bootloop.

I'm kinda biased, but you could try either the CM9 or cna I maintain (cna = codename Android, and requires a install ( & running) CM9 before you run it)

does it comes out with doomlord logo first , if doomlord kernel u just have to push back button when blue led light come out , and you start entering recovery mode , if not you just have to flash to original firmware again.
here the website for stock firmware http://www.xperiagamer.com/XXX-Zone/Stock-Roms/ , gudluck bro

Yeah that's what i used. Now i have another problem though, I went ahead and installed 2.3.4(.64) r800i firmware onto the phone but i cant get wifi in any of the kernel/rom combo's i use even stock/stock wont work. And yes I've tried the doom fixer. Also it shows that i have no baseband, but I'm not using this as a phone only as a portable gaming device

why you use r800i firmware instead of r800x firmware , maybe u flash the wrong firmware

If you try to actually flash the wrong firmware with flashtool it will error out in the beginning (I tried them all in multiple Uk attempts)

no ant+ radio for jjhybrid v3.2?

There was made a patch for making ANT+ work on the 3.1 version of the rom but not for version 3.2.
I've also tried to restore the three ANT files necessary with TB from my previous official 4.0.4 rom but only 2 files can be restored, AntHalService 4.0.4 UL5_3w can not be restored. I use an ANT hear rate monitor in combo with the endomondo app to log my heart rate while running/biking.
This was asked before by somebody else in the developement thread of the rom but there was no reply or solution given, so I try it again asking if it is possible to make a patch i can flash to get ANT working in jjhybrid.
There may not be many people using this feature but those who did or do will be very thankfull because ANT+ radio heart rate monitors aren't cheap to buy.
Thanks

Ok i will try to "flash" the patch for v3.1 but i would like to know how.(locked bl) So i flashed before using flashtool but that were always .ftf files or like jjhybrid itself files it recognised as whole in flashtool but the ant+ patch consists from 2 maps (meta-inf and systems) so dunno how to get them on my arc s?

i installed the zip but it isnt working, the 3 ant+ services are running but my monitor cannot be detected and there isnt also a notification icon in the bar. in the official sony rom you need to enable ant+ in a sony app so maybe this is holding it back from functioning properly

use Factory Reset and Wipe Davlik cache.
And Flash the Rom.

Bricked Xperia Play ( help?)

finally bricked my first device lol
can someone here help me out?
(r800at 2011 locked bootloader)
xperia play was rooted via the super one click and i flashed what i think was clock work mod recovery using version 7 of the auto installer app
after about a week of not being about to get into recovery by pressing buttons, i managed to get into recovery by using the volume down key
once i got into a recovery ( had blue text ) i full wiped ( twice ) and flashed Xperia Ice Cream Pureness and the black theme. after the installation was complete i rebooted and after showing the "sony ecricsson" the screen goes blank ( stays on ) and will only tun off when i pull the battery
no longer shows blue light when starting up and i cant get back into recovery mode
tried unbricking via flashtools but it won't recognize my device ( though it has before )
any advice?
any help will greatly be appreciated , thanks in advance

Well if you cleared your data then the recovery was probably wiped since you have a locked bootloader.... You need to update the drivers in order to flash the ftf for your model...

Flash this :

Or this :
http://www.mediafire.com/?qqvtl484nlz3gq0
Use Flashtool :
http://androxyde.github.com/
How to use flashtool is nicely explained on the website but I think it should be self explanatory for what to do.
You can also try flashing the Neo L ftf and install ICS Pureness over that if you really want an Ice Cream Sandwich rom. (Providing you can enter recovery because you have a locked bootloader)

( double posting , sorry)

If you want to use an ICS Rom on locked bootloader you have to flash a Neo V ftf then use an app like X-Parts or use RecoverX to gain recovery and then you can install Pureness as a flashable zip.
As far as I know people that flashed Neo L ftf had an Upside Down Camera and Gamepad obviously didn't work however Gamepad should work on a modified Rom (Camera might be a kernel thing - I didn't try this but I can almost guarantee will work) no other issues have ever been reported.
It is important to note that depending on how your phone/country communitcates (GSM/CDMA) might impact on your connectivity personally I don't know if AT&T is CDMA or GSM because they seem to use both.

okay thanks
also , i've read in forums that the at&t for this phone is GSM ( or at least in north america )

so, flashed a Neo V ftf via flashtools and got a brick ( recovered back to stock xperia now )
am i missing something?
does someone have a link to a Neo V ftf i can use?

Not neo V the Neo L (because it comes with sake hardware preset)

Flashtool
Try flashing a stock firmware in Flashtool, good luck.

Now downloading the stock firmware using sony update service, will update about the situation when it is done

Update Service with an unlocked bootloader is a bad idea.

Try this.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Official flashtool to go back to stock rom.
And as the guy above told you, SEUS on unlocked bootloader is a bad thing.

Hi. I have same problem.
Just flashed FreeXperia rom and gapps. Phone wont to power up. Just geting blue led or green.
Any clue? My bootloader is locked.

Dude,
As the others have said you cannot install FXP CM10 on a device with a locked bootloader.
As such your device will not boot, your options are to either.
1) use flashtool to flash a stock rom - instuctions how to use flashtool can be found on the forum
2) use Sony update service to flash back to stock - This is the easier option, but all your data will be wiped.
Once the device will boot up, if you still want to use FXP roms then unlock the bootloader first, or try a rom for locked bootloaders.
Either of the above should work for you.

yea phone works again fine on the stock

At least you show others, do not flash custom ROM if it's only for unlocked bootloader.
If you have locked bootloader you can't flash custom kernel and you will stuck in bootloop.

[Q] [Help!] Stuck on sony logo and cannot boot into CWM

I couldn't find any threads that are helpful to me.. so i had to post a new one.
I have a Xperia arc with lock bootloader. I flashed the lt18i 4.1.B.0.587 one day and installed Xperia Ultimate HD. I decided to go back to stock rom because UHD didn't have the features I expected.. so i flashed the lt18i ftf again via flashtool.i rooted it and installed CWM. Everything works fine.
Then i tried to restore a backup that was made before i flashed lt18i firmware.( my phone was on lt15i 0.587 stock rom at that time)
I tried to restore it on LT18i firmware to have more free space and it actually succeeded. But when i reboot it to homescreen it's just keep saying "keypad force close". i thought it was because the backup was based on lt15i firmware and it's not compatible with 18i firmware...
so i flashed lt15i .587 firmware but i exclude system because i still wanted to have 420MB space and i thought i should do it in this way ( i didn't know if it works or not) unfortunately, i was wrong and the phone stuck on sony logo.
the story hasn't ended. I flashed the LT15i .587 firmware again and this time the phone booted successfully. I rooted and install CWM as i did before.. i rebooted my phone and when sony logo appeared i kept on pressing volume down key but it couldn't get into CWM and was stuck on sony logo.I had to pull out the battery . After that i booted my phone again without trying to get into CWM and it succeeded. So basically everything works fine except stuck on sony logo when i try to boot in CWM.
I need CWM for installing good mods and backup and all kinds of stuff but i couldn't work it out and couldn't find a thread about it. I don't wanna unlock bootloader as well. Please help !!
p.s sorry for bad English and the story seems too long and a bit confusing... i just wanna make it more detailed...

Dude, at the aame time youre flashing kernel. Thats the issue. Just flash lt18 ftf and stick with it. It should work fine. Dont revert back to a lt15 backup, because of kernel incompability.

This is really a strange problem indeed! I had the same issue on LB! But mine dint go to CWM and booted directly into device! I tried all sorts of solutions but in vain! At last, I just flashed entirely from the beginning.
1. FTF (Format everything)
2. Root
3. Recovery
And everything is still fine after that!

Whatever you encounter when flashing custom Rom or mods

That's exactly what i've done.
I flash the LT18i 4.1.B.0.587 ftf( entire rom) and rooted my phone with E-root, install CWM with cmd... and it works fine if i don't try to boot into CWM. But if i press the volume down button repeatedly when sony logo appears, blue light turns on...the screen gets brighter, and then blue light disappears, and just stuck on it.
