I'm trying to install the GBTweaked rom on my verizon cdma xperia play r800x but every time i try to reboot into cwm recovery it just reboots normally. I saw other questions about this and tried what they said about holding down the volume button but none of them worked. It just keeps rebooting normally. Can you help me?
Also, verizon now allows their xperia plays to unlock their bootloader but when i tried to do it it said to download sdk and then go to the files adt-bundle-windows>sdk>extras>google>usb-driver. I got that far but then it said to Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file. But there is no android boot loader interface-file. So if any of you have tried this method before or no how to do it please help me.

No buddy to get to cwm recovery you have to use an app called x-parts and download the apk from the xda site use v1. To get into recovery you use the volume d-rocker down (if you use the x-parts apk to install cwm recovery) and no Verizon doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked for free you have to pay for the unlock idk where you got your information"interface-file" from.

Sony allows free unlocks of the bootloader....most of the time it works...as for the interface file the directory is differenr compared to sony's instructions....when I get on my computer later I'll post the correct path.

Can I still unlock my bootloader if im running a custom rom because
I downloaded gbtweaked and installed it with cwm. Can I still unlock my boot loader or should I go back to the stock from first?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Can you post a link to the updated instructions because I'm confused on what to do now.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
It's better you should back to stock firmware.
Sent from my R800i using xda-developers app
Gbtweaked is not a custom rom it is stocked tweak rom. Which is why your running it on your locked bootloader because it is "stock".
I didn't know that thanks for the info but can someone post the instructions on how to unlock the boot loader because the Sony instructions aren't updsted
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
Just pay for the bootloader unlock like I did. The R800x is requires a different procedure for the bootloader to be unlocked.
But Sony says the r800x is supported now and I got the unlock key and everything the only problem is that I got confused while following the steps because one of the files was missing. I also don't want to pay 20 dollars to unlock it when there is a free way. Does anyone know how to do it?

The only thing that was outdated was the location of adb for fastboot. Everything is is correct...if your on window 7 or 8, maybe vista(Haven't. Used in years so I'm sketchy on it) restart your computer/laptop and repeatedly tap F8, then go down to Disable driver signature or something along that line and press enter....then you should be able to find the boot interface file....I'll double check later on my computer on where I put it in the sdk...

Idk about all this folder/file modifying but I unlocked mine simply using these instructions (win 7 and possibly below) :
1)download omnius SE and install it
2) hold search key on your phone and plug in the USB the phone's led should turn blue. And the PC should fail to install drivers.
3)then click the start orb and type in the search box "device manager" without quotes and open it then find your device I believe its labeled "s1 boot device" but it may not it may be in the USB serial ports area
4) click your device and tell it to update drivers then pick manually update and just browse to the omnius folder and hit install, it will then install the drivers and bam...
5) now just follow Sony's guide to unlock the boot loader and you should be good..
6) you will need fast boot installed on your PC, just find it (it should be in C:/Android SDK/platform tools) and hold shift, right click and open command window here then just type the codes for the unlocking

I tried the omnius thing and was able to get the drivers installed thank you, But when i put in the codes i got something saying <bootloader> unlock phone requested, Failed <remote oem unlock failed> does that mean my bootloader cant be unlocked? please respond as soon as possible thank you.

Were you able to find which folder the boot interface file was placed in because i was finally able to install the drivers and i disabled the driver signature like you said but when i tried unlocking the boot loader it failed. I found fastboot under platform tools folder but i wasnt sure if that was the same thing.

I downloaded the ROM file copied it to my SD and installed the ROM. It said installation was complete. And i tried to reboot, and then i got stucked with sony logo. I totally don't know what to do as my phone doesn't gets detected by PC. My arc is locked one. So if anyone of you know the fix for this problem, please help me.

I have done all that you listed above but my phone doesn't go past the connection step. It sees my connected phone in fastboot but nothing else happens.
btw my phone is only showing the Sony Logo after a failed attempt to load a custom Rom.
phone is a Xepira Arc S. was Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader...
please help.
When screen states device connected in flashmode ,Click the lightning icon again and you'll come back to earlier page.Now reclick No verification and press OK again.The unplug pluggin visual will pop up again but this time do not do anything and let it follow thru.It will start flashing automatically.

I did that before of to open the posts. the problem is that, the flash tools not is identifying like debugging on. the program shows this message "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode", but i tried of every forms of connection usb, with debugging on, even so i didn't have success.
the smartphone is with rom CM11, with recovery clockworkmod and bootloader unlocked. The flashtools program, just identifies like debugging on, when my phone is connected . when i do try connect in flash mode, the program shows this messages "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" and " Device connected with USB debugging off".
i would of one original kernel, without recovery. if someone has. send me please.
