Help in flashing a xperia play to r800a north america firmware?.... - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a unlocked at&t r800at xperia play running the stock at&t firmware 2.3.3, I do have a 2.3.4 r800a north america firmware file, also have latest flashtool installed but even though i put the firmware .tft file in the firmware folder of the flashtool folders when i go to firmware option in flashtools the list to pick firmwares is blank.
Also when starting up flashtool it says something about for 2011 devices make sure mtp mode is off or something like that. Can anyone tell me the steps to install a firmware, such as does the phone need to be on or off and in what mode etc etc and why is the firmware window in flashtools is empty? Thanks

No it is a .ftf it doesnt have zip in it. if it did winrar would have seen it as a zip file.

Maybe the file is corrupted re-download it and see what happens or try another firmware
If none of them works install an older version of flashtool like v 0.13.0.0 or earlier versions

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

[Q] [QUESTION] Strangest thing happened on my Xperia S LT26i

So i used the method from DooMLord to root my LT26i.
In that method i had to flash my .96 kernel back to .211 root it and then flash it back to .96
But when i tried to flash it to .211 I rebooted my Xperia S i checked the build and it was still .96. The strange thing is that it told me about a new update. The .96 one, but I already have it so it mindf's me. It says that I can only install it through the PC. So i tried and it says that the Sony servers are down ATM. Does anybody know what's happening?
EDIT: The servers aren't down I can install the update but i still don't get the reason why it's telling me that there's an update for a build that I already have.

oh right
check if your drivers are installed
also check if you have a correct ftf installed
maybe updating flashtool may help
i had this issue with a older version of flashtool

Yes, i followed a tutorial on how to install my flashtool drivers, because it wasn't installing. Now that i installed them it still doesn't work. I have the correct ftf. I downloaded it from his post. And i have the latest flashtool(0.9.13.0). Any suggestions?

to root right
it only flashes the 211 or 200 kernel provided
it wont change your build number
your kernel version will change (if sony changed it between 200/211/96)
soz i misread initialy

Wipe: Don't check data if you don't want to lose it, obviously.
And on the other side it says exclude so if you check all you don't flash anything:silly:
I would exclude TA.

Hello @stalin.sk2,
Its my pleasure to help you. This way I too learn new things.
But I have a bad news.
I downloaded your zip file and flashed and alas my mobile got into a boot loop.
You should once recheck if the the files are ok or not.
I am not saying that te problem is in zip file itself but if you can recheck then we can be sure.
Moreover My mobile acting weird.
Everytime I try to deodex it, it goes tto bootloop each and every time.
What firmware is no-15.5.0.A.18. I mean what is the no- part. Am i missing something?

No, it replaces framework files so it will not flash them as it will make the phone freeze and the end up in a bootloop.

I didnt take TA backup before unlocking and installing cwm. And the ftf link doesnt contain the firmware version which i currently have. There is unbranded brazil firmware which is same as mine. Will it be safe to use or i need branded firmware?
