Hi, I own many android phones, and I have modded many-many android smartphones and tablets...
One friend of mine recently gave to me his 2 years old xperia play r800i, telling me that "it stucks in the sony ericsson logo".
He dont even know how to install apk, not to mention rooting and such proccesses. He just use it for phone calls, messages, and some social networking apps... He said me that "has almost a week or two to restart his XP, and suddently it self-rebooted but it stucks in sony ericsson logo..."
Now it boot loops... Also some times when I connect it to the charger it self power on (and boot loop)... Some others, it just shows that it is charging normally...
I have never had a sony ericsson or sony phone before, I have only rooted a xperia mini and an xperia active through flashtool...
I tried to connect the device to the flashtool, and even in the official-sony-supported Emma, with no success...
So, can someone tell me what i must do for the device to be on and working again?
I also don't know if it have an unlocked bootloader or not, and I cannot see if the phone supports it (the bootloader to be unlocked). Also I cannot enter the phone to see its IMEI, that I heard is required to unlock the bootloader...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english,
Spyros

I installed the cwm recovery released today for locked bootloaders and forgot I did and tried to reflash using SEUS(I was tired) - May have been my battery level being 45% ish ... This bricked my phone... I've tried flashtool with uk generic 2.3.3 & 2.3.4 it gives me the same error about turning on usb debugging - I can't -_-.SEUS tells me to charge my phone to 50% + - when i charge my phone the light simply blinks green or bootloops to after the sony erricson logo where I see the phone with the exclamation mark...
Start up Sony Ericsson PC Companion, dont put in your phone, click on support zone, phone software update, repair phone (highlighted in blue), let it download some stuff, select xperia play. Follow instructions
SEPC = Sony Ericsson Pc Companion ; Tried it . Thanks anyways.
How about wotanserver.com? You can flash the firmware for free on there. It was fast and easy when I tried it out.
wotanserver does not work.
Well, if none of those methods work and it's just bootlooping, you might just have to take it to your provider with a blank look on your face and say "I don't know WHAT could have happened! It just started doing this for no reason!"
Sorry, friend. I hope you can find a way to resolve this. Sounds nasty!
Well, SEUS finally decided to fix the phone after i tried 7 times in a row - was opening+closing it before. Thanks for your help anyways!
Hello Everyone
I tried to find a solution without troubling anyone, so I searched a lot and a lot of threads all over the internent with no hope . I have tried as many possiblesolutions as I could find even those which are not meant for xperia play. I will explain everythingvery clearly for those who want to help or even try to ...
The Problem :
My Xperia Play suddenly doesn't get pass the Sony Ericsson text at the boot screen which appearsas soon as you turn on the device. It keeps hanging on that white text on that black background for hours until I pull out the battery . I then found out that if I connect my charger before turning on the device it will boot normally as usual . I also found out that as soon as I disconnect the charger cable , the phone will immediately turn off. Another important issue is that even when I mamange to boot the phone normally by the charger , the screen does not respond to my touch even in CWM touch recovery in Doomkernel . Despite that , I can operate the phone completely using the key pad . That means the phone is full functional except for the " boot " and " touch " problems.
What I have done so far :
- I flashed different stock firmware FTF several time via Flash Mode including .42 , .58 enhanced , and .62 using flashtool with flashing ending in success each and everytime .
- I flashed different kernels via Fastboot Mode including DoomlordKernel v14 (GB ) , DoomlordKernel v3 ( ICS ) , and Lupusv11 ( ICS)
- I have accessed CWM recovery serveral times and formated each and everything that could be formatted including data , system , cache ..etc
- I have also tried flashing different ROMs such as NXT 1.3 and Markpython XPlay ICS
- I have put phone in a rice bag in case it had moister or water damage !
- I have disassemble the phone completelypart by part and found nothing damaged so I cleaned it and ressambeled it again
- I have left the phone for days without turning it on . I also tried keeping the battery out for several hours.
- I have used a replacement new battery just in case it was my battery has a problem.
- I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone via Sony Update Service and the repairing process endedin success.
The results so far :
Nothing changed at all . After doing all of the above and repeating it. I even did more things I can't remember now.Everything is still the same. The phone is stuck at SE text at boot screen and if connected to charger then turned on it will boot normally but the touch screen doesn't respond for some reason I can't figure out , although the digitizer is intact.
What I am doing now :
- I have no more trick to try and I am totally depressed about this ZOMBIE Xperia Play which is half working and half borken.
Thank you very much for your time and for trying to help
I am waiting for your suggestions ...
For your touch screen problem, I doubt that the digitizer is damaged. As for your booting issue, I'm not sure.
looks like the battery doesn't give enough power to the phone

Maybe it is invisabely damaged . However, if I can't fix my boot issue , getting a replacement digitizer is just a waste of money.

I tried using a new battery the other day at the phone's shop and the same thing happened . The phone just
doesn't continue to boot and get stuck at Sony Ericsson text.

The power turns on and the screen turns on when the I power the device. The problem is booting into the system.
It get stuck at Sony Ericsson text . However, it's very mysterious why the phone turns off when the charger is disconnected , perhaps the real question is : how come the battery powers the device but can not boot it and keep it running ?
You didn't say what version is your xperia play is. Is it R800x, R800i, R800a, R800at? If you have the xperia play CDMA version you cant use GSM kernel or roms.
I dropped my phone (after replacing the housing) and had the same thing happen to me. Opened it up again and the digitizer cable was loose. Fixed it for me.
EDIT- My phone would turn on without the need of the cable, but i couldnt mount my sd card/enter mtp unless i connected the usb cable prior to turning it on (so my issue was slightly different).

I already opened up my device and disconnected the digitizer cable and reconnected it and the touch was
still not working but I'll try it again as soon as I fix my boot issue. The phone doesn't boot to the system
unless connected to the charger prior to turning it on.
my phone is only 6 months old ... It runs perfectly when connected to charger but as soon as I disconnect it the phone turns off ... using a new battery doesn't solve the problem ... what could it be that causing this ?!
Final Solution to your problem
You will have to use odin. Just connect it to a laptop/desktop and run Odin. It will fix your problem and if this doesnt work you will have to send it to a Sony centre in your neighborhood. But I am sure odin will fix it. I had a similar problem once. So try odin.
Click thanks if you appreciate this

I never used this program before . I thought it was flashtool equivalent for samsung phones. I guess I was wrong. I really appreciate your help . Could you please explain more about the process. Give me steps to follow... Thank you very much I really appreciate your great help.
I'm pretty sure Odin is only for Samsung phones as the phone has to be in "download mode" for anything to work and well Sony devices don't have a download mode

Odin is only for Samsung phones, and I'm having an issue quite similar with my Play R800at. I just got it from a friend. It boots, continues up to ATT screen, then resets. I can't figure out how to boot into recovery, I can't find flashtool, I'm completely lost. I should have stuck with my S3.

Well Sony xperia devices don't have a stock recovery...so it should go into fast boot if you take the battery out and hold search on the phone,plug the USB into the PC and the phone led should turn blue and bam your in fast boot

I did fix the boot loop issue. If you download the Sony pc companion, hold the back button and plug the usb in at the same time, it will download a repaired version of the latest firmware and fix the boot loop.

Just wondering but did anyone solve the initial issue as the same thing has happened to my xperia r800i
1. Flash ftf with flashtool
2. Flash gb/ics/jb kernel
3. Flash gb/ics/jb rom via the kernel recovery
It should do it but kernel has to match the ROM.
Example: if i want to flash jb rom then I have to flash jb kernel.

I rooted my sony ericsson arc s and then installed a costumed rom from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836993)... after installing the rom my phone restarted and i only get stuck on the sony logo
I searched the internet to find solutions. Everyone said to connect the phone to the pc and use flashtool to change the kernel.. however, my problem is that the phone is not recognized by flashtool, nor by the pc companion... i tried pressing the back button, i guess i have tried every single way to get the phone to turn on.. but the pc never recognized it.. the only thing i get when switching the phone on is the word sony in white with a black background and the phone gets stuck..
Please tell me what i should do to fix it.. i also tried something called stool but it never recognized the phone.. btw,, the led lights don't even turn on

Bootloader is locked or unlock? Locked bootloader CAN NOT change kernel. Search unbrick arc s. You need to restore stock rom via flashtool.
i have got same problem

Use flash tools for recovery
If your bootloader is locked, just restore using SEUS.

a friend has this phone, his children were playing games on the phone and suddenly the phone rebooted and since then the phone is stuck. It boots in to Sony and then Xperia, then a long vibration and back to loop of Sony logo.
It's not rooted, running on 4.04 stock, locked bootloader, and it's not even getting into recovery mode. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Dis you try, "Sony Companion" or Flashtools" ?
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
Thanks..
Not yet. I just got the phone and have tried getting into recovery.
I shall try the PC workout later in the evening after reaching home.
What do you suggest?
A reinstall of Rom via companion or flash tools?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
First try PC Companion... and i was thinking... if it's not rooted how could you go into recovery mode.... i think it's impossible if you are not root...
So when the last rom will be installed by Pc Compagnion... Root it (flashtools and/or doomlord's method), install a recovery (like X-parts an app on market) and and like that you can do what you want with it...
Tell us if it works...
/////
Oh i see you have habs with samsung's or htc's phone... They have a recovery without root but not the sony's one...
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.
I just have one query...
How will flash tools or companion work when the device does not settles down, as it's in bootloop, from Sony logo to xperia logo, then a short vibration and sometimes a long one and screen goes blank and then Sony logo, and xperia logo, it's going on and on.
Please enlighten.
Thanks.

He was wrong when he said PC Companion, you need to use SEUS, Sony Ericsson Update Service.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
You can use SEUS if it works yet but i'm not sure....
BUT you also can use PC COMPANION which works....
No need to turn on the phone, do you know "the flashmode" it's a basic.... so you can follow my tuto on my signature...
AND please follow exactly the steps before posting it doesn't work...
You can also try FLASHTOOLS...
phone back to life.. PC Companion worked in first shot..
thanks a million.

Well this is is What happened. I was trying to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" on my "Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY" I tried it twice and I couldn't so I flashed it again to R800a North America. As I couldn't do it I upgraded the "Flashtool! from 0.6.9.1 to 0.9.18.5 and tried to install "Lupus-v12-iCs-720" but I couldn't so I tried to install "ICS Neo2Play V2.7" and nothing so I plug it to flash it again and the Rom R800a wasn't there I didn't notice it and clicked flash so it did it fast and now I have a dead pone, it doesn't enter Flashmode doesn't turn on nothing but when I conect it to the PC the sound plays but that's it. It also doesn't turn on and the LED doesn't blink. HELP....!!! PLEASE.........!!! is there any way to fix it.....???
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by

If u flashed x10 relock file, u probably damaged bootloader partition and i dont think u can reapir it in home, without flasmode, coz only thing i can think of (not counting using box) is to flash relock file for 2011 xperias

I messed up my xperia ion in a similiar way. Take out the battery for a few minutes. With the battery out hook it up to the pc. If you can see a dim charging light of any colour your should be able to fix it. Unplug the phone and put the battery in. Without trying to power it on click the back button and connect it to the pc. This may work.
