Witht he r800x, i dont think there is a stock recovery. It was designed to be used in conjection with a PC to repair/restore using the SEUS. (but i could be wrong)

Thank you no stock recovery sounds right now...

There is no stock recovery, but if your bootloadr is locked, you can still use CWM. Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771

There is no stock recovery that you can access from the phone itself.

Please help

i have already rooted my phone (xperia arc s) but i can't chance my kernel. every time i try i get a message saying '' the phone must be rooted''

You need to use freegee, (unlock your bootloader)

Wow buddy, not being rude here, but you need to do a lot of reading before you attempt anything, your going to end up bricking your phone, video isn't needed, just do some reading!!

I've been attempting it for awhile, yeah i bricked it once but i got it out. Rooted a few phones before this one but nothing seems to be working :/

in freegee the same text is popping up "adb.exe is not recognized..."

Just check that link. You can use it to unlock your phone.... Or pay the $2.00 and buy freegee from the market, it's much easier and supports a good cause.... Good luck.

It unlocks the bootloader. I have the E973 from Telus and it never had Telus branding at boot. You need to unlock the bootloader with freegee

Good choice man. When you go to install rom make sure to read instructions carefully in the first post. The process is a little bit different than that of other phones.

[Q] Bricked Xperia Play

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.

Not yet there isn't, people with locked bootloaders (like me and a lot of other people) are continuously looking for a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. I think there's a CWM being developed for locked bootloaders (I'm not too sure on this though).

Don't think it's possible to use it on locked bootloader

My drivers were messed up after updating.. I'm still trying to fix that. None of the root methods even recognise the phone now. All I did was update ... but PCC sees the phone just fine. I tried installing the drivers in the latest flashtool. If I can't fix the drivers, no root is possible for me.

its the kernel that is the problem, rooting would not effect bootloaders if the ftf had stock kernel and was signed. if i had a computer id do it but sorry i cant :/

Right. The kernel is the problem but there is no way to make a flashable and modified ftf file.
The way cold be developing a cwm for locked bootloaders and then flash a prerooted rom in zip format or a stock rom and then a rooting patch.

Sounds good, but I have a question. How are you going to install the recovery in the first place? Couldn't you just use this method to inject the su binary?

I think CWM is not necessary. Any way to copy all 4.3 system files with su binares (to partition /system with transfer all permissions) should works, then flash 4.3 kernel. But it should be done before Android core will start (otherwise Android will crash before you copy all files), maybe add in init.d or any other boot file, script which copy all 4.3 files with all privileges...
I don't have this phone now so i can't test it.

Any methods found to root phones which have locked bootloader? This is really sad
Only way to gain root without voiding warranty is to go back to stock 4.1.2,then take backup of ta partition , unlock the bootloader, and flash 4.3 ftf..
Else if we unlock the bootloader on 4.3,we can't relock it again as we can't take backup of ta partition
Anyone working on it?

Even I did have the same doubt, how we going to install the cwm? By flashing a stock 4.3 kernel which have cwm?
