[Q] Bricked Xperia Play - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
My friend has Xperia Play (R800i). I opened for him bootloader, and flash LuPuS_zeus_GingerBreadv12-ram.img, and one of the android 4 roms.
Everything was fine but he get new phone and decided to give this phone to his girlfriend, and ask me to flash some older rom (faster rom)
So I did..
But accidentally I flashed in simlock to the phone..
So I tried to flash it again. But this time I flashed accidentally X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf (I think this rom came to me with flashtool...)
And now phone is not responding at all. I cant go to flash or fastboot mode, It is not responding for power button.
I have no idea what to do.. Maybe You can help me .
Very sorry for my bad English.. I hope You understand my problem
Best regards
**Edit
Does anyone have any suggestions? Internet tutorials usually can helps with "soft" brick, I think my phone is hard bricked, and they are not working for me.

It sound like you are not running a custom rom? If so, just try a factory reset first.

If you have fastboot files on your PC, try
'fastboot erase cache'
when your phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode.
Then, if you have CWM recovery installed, go there and wipe your dalvik cache under advanced menu.

Before you do any of this, read the info provided very carefully. There is always a chance to brick your phone. Some steps take more than a couple of seconds. So be patient.
EDIT: There is also this EasyFlash tool.

[Q] Bricked? Really need help

Hey,
my english isn't that good, I'm sorry for this.
The last weeks I've beet trying some roms. Everything was okay.
Today I tried Android Renovate. I flashed the Kernel, wiped everything (except the sd ) and flashed the mod. So there was a bootloop.
I wanted to wipe everything to try something else. But I couldn't even get into the recovery. So I searched on xda for a solution...
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...ore_your_phone)
But after looking up my version und relocking the phone I could not find a ruu for my hox. (ver.: 1.29.111.11)
Now the one X can't boot anything, has not enough accu, isn't able to start the clockwork-recovery and shut down.
I really don't know what to do next. Can anybody help me?

If installing cwm by using fastboot doesn't work, you can always download rom manager on your phone and flash it there too

Alright
First, turn your phone on and go to the play store
Search 'rom manager and install it from the play store
After it gets installed, there should be some agreement crap. Agree to that.
There should be an option saying 'flash clockworkmod recovery'. Click that.
Confirm the device model saying 'marvel' and some couple of stuff. Then it will download and install by itself.
When there is a message saying that its done, take the battery out of your phone and boot into fastboot by pressing volume down and the power button (I suppose you know how to do that )
Select the recovery option and see if it works
Done

R800at with Locked Bootloader flashing rom solution

Hi friends, this is my first post so i hope it helps
I have a XPlay r800at with locked bootloader, and as many of you i wanted to flash a custom ROM
The first problem, i tried to find a free way to unlocking its bootloader, guess what. there is not a free way.(if you can/already paid for it, this post is not for you)
2nd) i found cooked rom's that can be flashed even with a locked bootloader :good: BUT it seem to work just fine with R800i, R800a....
3rd) But, can i flash a r800a or r800i rom and then flash a cooked rom...
The first thing can be done BUT the second no, why? because my phone is a r800at so this stock roms wont work at 100%
4) When i flashed those roms (i tried about 12 stock rom's ) something end up not working, like Wifi or Camera...so i tried to solve this "little" things in order to finally customize my r800at BUT....there is no solution for it since it is a Locked Bootloader meaning NO kernel Flashing meaning NO stock/modified wifi modules.... :crying:
5) 6) 7) more blablabla (customized systeui.apk, flashing, signing, decompling,downloading testing...... time and frustration)
8) finally i found a solution and here it is.
So if you want to flash a custom rom like "gin2KitKat"(thats the one i originally wanted to flash) here's a way that worked for my r800at
You will need a rom called "R800i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212).ftf"
Flashtool
Once you flash it with flash tools, you can follow the custom rom's instruction for "Locked Bootloader"....(root,CWM, wipe....)
i hope this help you and save you some time(despite my long story about how i get this rom working at 100% :silly: )
btw, "gin2kitkat" is a vokal1992's project

I cant do it because my phone says

and that tuto asks it to be on "YES" else, "do not attempt to unlock the bootloader"

Ya that's not really a big problem but you won't be able to flash .img you will have to flash special .ftf made by LOOPEY on this forum there are only a handful of Roms and kernels such as lupus and doomkernel. You can unlock when unlock says no but you will ONLY be able to flash the Tom's made in. Ftf as you will not be able to enter fastboot. I'll see if I can find the Rom thread in case you still want to do it.

7 vibrations usually means hardware fault, normally some overheating issue.
I had that issue and RUU sorted it out. I needed to run RUU few times though because it wouldn't flash radio the first time
