Have you installed the proper drivers? Is USB debugging turned on?
Yea I followed the steps exactly.

You did install the Hboot drivers correct? And uninstalled doubletwist or Htc Sync.

Yea I installed the drivers. Htc sync and double twist were never installed.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure you need to install htc sync first and then uninstall it to get the driver so your comp actually sees the phone. Try doing that.

Ok I'll try that

When you connect your phone via usb cable and you put in debugging mode....you should see your phone in device manger of Windows.
Debugging mode is a special setting. It's not the same as sync mode. I only say this to re clarify. This process should be straight forward.

Yea there really us no messing up the Unrevoked method. ITS got to be the driver. I would suggest you make sure you see your phone in device manager first.... can you post the link for the method you are using
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks playa your idea about the driver helped me fix this. I needed to install the drivers two times once in hboot usb mode and once after I rebooted the phone.

Please guide me to install a custom rom

Problem-1) My pc doesnot recognize my device in fastboot mode when connected via USB in fastboot mode. It shows fastbootusb in the screen though. I am tired of searching for the solution but remained unsuccessful.
Problem-2) in the installation tutorial of evrery kernel it says to flash bootimg. Which bootimg should I flash? If The kernel comes with modules what do do with the modules. How to install the kernel which has modules?
Please help.

If recovery says fastbootusb that means its detected already. It won't show up as a device on your PC, and only accessible through adb commands.
boot.img is usually provided in the the thread, or you can choose your kernel of choice. Install then boot.img through recovery while in fastbootusb mode, then enter Recovery and flash the modules that you downloaded with the boot.img
Just follow the guides on here, it's been covered before

I had trouble with recognizing phone too. But it works if you use the original cable that came with the phone. Try that!

Phone wont stay in fastboot?

im trying to unlock the bootloader but everytime i connect the phone the LED goes blue for 5 seconds then goes back to the charging screen. ive tried multiple drivers and even disabled driver certificates in windows 8. i just cant get this to work.
Try installing the android 4.x drivers through sdk.

You have to put W8 in testmode to be able to install all proper drivers
You can Google how to do it, it's easy then just install the drivers from flashtool/driver folder

I had the same problem with my cousin's pc, and a friend is also having it. I think you should force the reinstall of all drivers (if you're on Win 8, don't forget to disable signature driver check)

Sorted it,.flashtool done a manual install of all drivers which solved the problem

Reboot your xperia play when plugged into your pc. Hold the search button key while its booting up.

There are a few things you must do
1. You must install flashmode and fastboot drivers
2.you must select xperia play as current device
3. Reboot into fastboot via ADB
4. Once booted into fastboot mode, click on select kernel to flash.

I know it's a pain to do but have you tried returning to stock and starting all over again?I take that flashmode works?That's what I would do if it happened on my phone:good:
EDIT Try disable antivirus
The real question is: have you run flashtool or the command line in "administrator mode"?

Update your version of flashtool uninstall the drivers from device manager. Reinstall never androxide flastool reinstall drivers make sure debugging is enabled. Then you should he good to go. If it don't work that means you need a new micro USB cable..
Problem solved next.

if that dont work try another cable!
Also make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 has lots of problems with flashing

Idea to flash kernels?

I was just wandering if anyone has tried this before I attempt this. Would it be possible to use terminal emulator to flash a kernel without having to hook it up to a computer?

How do you figure? We use fastboot.exe to flash kernels.

Reboot fastboot flash boot img. On my incredible 2, you could enter the hboot and flash img files like entering it from the computer, it did it automatically as long as it was named properly, you can enter fastboot mode on this phone by holding search when powering on, could you not use terminal emulator to instruct it to bout into fastboot mode and flash file?

That's a pretty interesting idea. Have you tried it? It would be awesome if it works then we wont need cpu to flash kernels anymore.

No I have not as I have no access to pc right now and I'm not comfortable with this phone yet as it is a lot different with partitions and such from what I'm used to, that's why I was wandering if anyone else has yet. I don't even know if cwm backs up boot img our system partition on this phone, I'm honda do done digging around with root explorer and try to get a better understanding of things...
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
My last comment was stupid, of course it doesn't back up boot img.as it can't be flashed in this phones recovery any way. It does indeed back up system though, but I noticed out was in yaff format instead of tar...
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
its because the recovery is located in kernel unlike other phones that have it in a different location. thats why we can't flash kernels from recovery.
