Do the drivers work?
Now is the problem updating the firmware?
If that is the problem now, can somebody with an 800i help out, i have the 800x and we don't have such things as MTP

Extracted = installed? Cuz you need to install them on your pc.
Some people have had issues connecting in MTP mode. If you have installed the drivers then try to unmount the sdcard prior to connecting the phone to your pc.

Sorry man now it recognized like a camera dammm android drivers. Any suggestions?

@fast_forious69 i just reread your first post. If you just want root then you should use flashtool to flash the UK generic .184 FW. Then root with gingerbreak and then without doing anything else update OTA to the newest 4.0.A.2.368 (2.3.3). The only way to preserve root when updating is OTA.
Further more you won't be able to root the new firmware if you upgrade without doing the above, unless you also unlock you bootloader. If you just want root there's no need for that imo. You can can always unlock later if you want to do other mods like custom Rom/kernel etc.
Anyway download flashtool and extract it to your desktop. Then install the drivers that comes with the tool (ggsetup.exe). Then download the UK generic .184 FW, extract it and put it in the firmware folder that came with flashtool. Hit x10FlashTool.exe. In the window that opens press flash and choose your FW and then tick 'wipe data' and then ok and just follow the instructions. This will wipe all userdata on the phone apps, bookmarks, sms, saved games states etc.
If you're already on .145 or .184 (2.3.2) then just download gingerbreak and root and then strait after boot update OTA. (I take that you bootloader is locked otherwise don't do any official updates hence it will brick your phone).

Lol then it must be me. Well I'm a guy aswell...
Anyway mate you'll end up with the newest FW update if you follow my guide above (xLoud, themes etc. You won't loose warrenty for using flashtool on the other hand afaik you will when rooting or unlocking bootloader. That can be ereased by unrooting and locking again. Then nobody should know. Atleast i got my device serviced under warrenty that way
Either way you're welcome and you choose what you'll do. If you can't make pc companion work then you'll have the flashtool way to do it...
Regards Dousan...

Hi mate Dousan, i've read your advice but not sure if i'll try to do it the phone is about one month, i've try the firmware way with Pc compainon it says my phone is with the latest update firmware ?!?!?! 2.3.3 wich i confirm in the menu of the Xperia now i'm in a dilema if is really necessary to flash it with the tools you recomend and loose my info contacts, etc... because i cant update the damn phone with sony ericsson OTA backup ! it only backup the bookmarks !!! don't backup my contacts calendar etc.
i've even reinstall Windows XP nothing now is a digital camera (MTP mode) only works acess the phone in MSC mode so only acess the SD card, a bit weird this android phone i've talk with some other guys in another foruns they say windows 7 it's better but my money now is not enough to buy a new pc, just don't no what to do .... maybe take the mobile to the store a see what's better.
by the way is the new things good Xloud new themes etc. ?
thx mate

The xloud is cool, the speakers are nice, loud and crisp now. Good sound. About the themes.. Meh, I only se the background change really, it's not like cm7 theme chooser nor the one I know from HTC. There's some other stuff too, apps and small tweaks. Haven't really gone through the phone and compared.
Well the work lies in flashing with flashtool, then root and then OTA. For me it's no biggie, but then again I've flashed my phones for the last three years now and things has been more complex than this and also easier. All is relative and what is easy for me could be difficult for and vice versa
If you don't feel comfy about doing it then don't. Take it to a certified SE shop and let them do it for you.
Regards Dousan...
Ohh and always glad to help out where I can

Man you are a very good help and a good friend... If one day u come to portugal algarve i buy u a beer....B-)
Or maybe when i go to denmark we go to hard rock café and have a lager..... Eheheh

[Q] information

Hi . I am using a xperia play r800a rogers and it says my boot loader can not be unlocked. is there a way around that for rooting my phone. Please help. I tired of loosing all my game data and would like to be able to use tititum backup.

Hi.
I rooted my play this morning using the information from the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
If the utility doesn't do anything after it says "waiting for device" you might be missing some drivers.
To get the correct drivers installed on my pc I had to install Sony PC Companion first - make sure you opt to install the MTP drivers as well and it should be ok then.
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/

Hi camsurf,
From my experience, rooting and bootloader are entirely different. Essentially consider rooting to be 'admin rights' for your phone. You can run things you shouldn't be able to, etc, from within the 'Operating System'.
Bootloading is essentially changing the 'Operating System' entirely.
I've used SuperOneClick to root my device a few times. Very straightforward and easy to use. The only issue I've had is when I stupidly didn't enable USB Debugging in the settings.
Also your bootloader can be unlocked, but it requires payment to do so, and a little work from your end in most cases.

ok......
im runing version 2.3.4
build number 4.0.2.A.0.42 (does this matter)
make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device (whats this and where do i find them
chipowski, the link you game me does not work for r800a but thanks or the help.
To get the correct drivers installed on my pc I had to install Sony PC Companion first - make sure you opt to install the MTP drivers as well and it should be ok then.
I have PC companion already installed on my pc. should i uninstall it and then reinstall opting out on the mtp (?) drivers.
these are the pages i found.
thanks guys
how do i "thank" you guys where do i click

Hi,
Sorry didn't realise my model version is different - mine is the R800i.
I am on the same build and os as yours though if that's any use.
For the ADB driver I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510241
which says to download and install this:
http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
I've just installed this and now on device manager I can see "Android ADB Interface" under "Android Phone".
If you do this I don't think you need to worry about the MTP stuff I mentioned before.

yay
ok i rooted my phone using this
zergrush
works great. but i have a couple of questions.
clockwork mod i cant get that for some reason. i tried to use rom manager but when i go to flash my phone it says not supported. nandroid i cant get that either. do i need that.
im using wotanserver if i need to restore my phone . is that correct.
thanks guys

rooting Xperia T is realy easy :
there is no problem if you are on 18.1.A.1.14. it's explained in Google...
if you are on 18.1.a.1.21 :
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.14 with Flashtool.
start the phone and connected it to PC (even if the phone is blocked on "updating apps")
Root the phone with RootKitXperia (last version is 20140719)
shutdown the phone
Flash only the kernel 18.1.a.1.21 with Flashtool.
start the phone
run SuperSu and accept upgrade.
in order to well connect the phone to PC you need to allow debbug USB, and to put the scard in MSC mode
