Hi Guys,
Any help would be great! i do have google talk if anyone is willing to help me out!
My R800i Is rooted and has a version of recovery but not sure which version, i am wanting to update my phone with a better kernel and rom since the current one i have installed is giving me issues ( not being able to receive incoming calls for example )
Another problem is i reformatted the phone since i was having issues with receiving calls but now when i connect my phone to ANY computer via the USB cable the computer trys to install MTP or MSC driver ( depends on which connection type i select ) the Installer fails and i cant even take any files off my phone.
Provided details below. i want to somehow get into the current bootloader and install the ROM thats on my SD card! i do have flashtool installed and Android tool SDK installed but still no success in phone wanting to talk to my laptop.
I am running windows 7 64 bit. i am starting to think the phone is belond repair since i cant get any software to work between the phone and computer.
does anyone know what buttons i need to push on the Xperia Play to enter into the boot loader, i have tried pressing the back button and search button on phone boot but nothing happens apart from the phone starts up normally.
would a factory reset delete the boot loader and other config-ed software off the phone is this why i cant enter the boot loader or am i not pressing the right buttons on boot.
Any help would be really appreciated!

If you want to change the kernel you must unlock your bootloader. If your Xperia Play is a SIM free one, you can do it for free in this link: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
For SIM locked devices I think you must find another ways to do it. There are some online sites that unlock bootloader to SIM locked devices for a fee.
Once you have unlocked your bootloader, turn off the phone, hold on the search button, plug the USB cable in the computer, release the search button (power button LED will be blue) and install this driver: http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Google-USB-Driver-Revision4-Download-139077.html
Now you are ready to flash any kernel you want with Flashtool or any other app.
Thanks for the information, i have already done this, i payed £25 for a guy on this forum to unlock my phone to any network. i'll give this a try and get back to you, problem is the phone doesn't like to talk to my laptop via USB cable keeps on failing to install the drivers..
Thanks for quick response.

I have tried what you said but having problems with connecting my phone to my Windows 7 Laptop!
Check your device manager. The fastest way to open it is running this command: devmgmt.msc
There must be some kind of Android device while your phone is connected in fastboot mode. If you see it, update its driver with the Google USB driver v4 pointing at the folder path with the uncompressed files.

Hi I tried what you said, i Turned off my phone and holded the search button and turned it back on, the light went blue and the computer popped up trying to install fast boot i point to the SDK folder to update the driver but it fails.
do you have google talk might be easier on there to talk! cheers!
I'm not using gtalk atm. Sorry.
Be sure the driver you downloaded is named usb_driver_rev4.zip: http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=139077&t=4&i=1
If Windows doesn't detects any driver in that uncompressed folder, you can choose to select the device from a list, point to that folder and force to install the driver. It's named something like Android ADB Interface.

Thanks for the download link, i going to try this in a bit and get back to you! thanks for the support guys! :good:
Just tried, i put my phone into Media Transfer Mode.. my computer tried to install the MTP usb device and i directed the installation to the driver you linked..
Update Driver Software says: the best driver software for your device is already installed MTP USB DEVICE, there is a small yellow triangle on the icon and in MTP USB Device Properties it says: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
i need someone to Teamviewer with me, for the record i don't have the Sony Ericsson software installed on my Computer because that still wont install the drivers for my phone, i also know its not needed for installing new kernel and roms.
i tried connecting this phone to a bunch of pcs including my friends and it still fails to install any drivers!!! i think i am just going to bin this phone! i have had enough (
You must install that driver when you plug the phone in fastboot mode. It shouldn't work in any other case. In other words, when you plug your Xperia Play being powered on and Android is running it needs one driver, and when you boot it in fastboot mode you need other driver.
Please, install the driver following the steps previously posted with your phone in fastboot mode (blue LED).
Hello, i put my phone into fastboot mode, my device manager shows 1 device not installed S1Boot Fastboot, i right click go to properties and click update driver...
then i browse my computer for driver software i point the location to usb_driver_rev4\usb_driver and it says: Windows was unable to install your s1Boot fastboot!
Ok, let's see...
Try to update the driver using the "choose from a list" option to force the installation, point to the driver folder and select "Android ADB Interface" from the list. If Windows shows a warning message don't worry about it and go ahead.
i tryed this and its not wanting to work (
Sorry to hear that because I don't have any more ideas for your problem.
Maybe you may spend some minutes searching in the forum to find some detail that can help you.
i need someone with teamviewer to help me go though the setup process again, if anyone is willing to get my phone working i will happy pay them some money!
Thanks Jcarbox for all your support!
Regards
Paul
I just check the Windows device manager with my phone plugged in bootloader mode and it appears as Android Bootloader Interface, so this is the device you must choose from the list when you install the driver.
Hope this helps you.
thanks for the help, to bad my phone isnt having any of it.. just going to buy another phone (
This may work

hi PsychoShaft,
I had similar problems. I don't know how to fix it permanently. but i do this to make it work for some time.First, download flashtool and install it.Open your device manager and select view->show hidden drivers.Then, delete all your drivers related to xperia play. like the adb interface, semc flash ,etc. All of them in all categories. then reboot your computer into safe mode with administrator and connect your device with flashtool running in your windows in safe mode. then the flashtool will indicate that you don't have the drivers. then,open the drivers folder in flashtool and use the setup to install arc-play-...,flashmode drivers and fastboot mode drivers.then after the installation is over windows will ask you to reboot.now reboot with your mobile connected. after boot windows will automatically install the drivers. then unplug your phone and turn off it and connect in flash/fastboot mode.it will automatically install drivers.wait for windows to say drivers installed successfully or installation failed. don't unplug it in the middle of the process then you will have to start from first.sometimes it will not work in the first time ,then reboot into safe mode and try again installing the drivers and rebooting into safe mode itself and connecting your device.at one point of time flashtool will say your device is connected in flas/fastboot mode.then continue with flashing
Gladwin.
Thanks for the support guys i managed to solve the issue!

Fix your drivers
Go to download mode, plug in the phone
Open device manager, there must be a device not installed or showing yellow exclamation, fix that.
Same goes for when in custom recovery and trying adb.

Hello,
I have LG G3 D855 32 GB not rooted, dropped in water but now it's dry, it was giving me a green screen says "kernel crash". anyways, i have installed the LG drivers on Win7, all the drivers installed except the MTP one to try to fix it through LG Flash Tool but it didn't communicate with the phone because the MTP failed to insatll, no luck with usb cable. I Don't know if it's possible to boot/install anything from Micro Sd Card?? I have the .kdz .tot .dll files for it
I would appreciate any help
Thank you in advance.
It's not possible to install any firmware directly from the phone. Try anyway to connect your G3 with your computer and use the LG Flashtool to flash a kdz or an tot file. If it isn't successful you have to send it to LG for repair.
MTP Failed
Thank you Der CaRl fro the quick reply,
the phone can go to firmware update mode, but as i said the MTP driver couldn't be insatlled. i don't know if there is a way to make the phone in usb debugging mode from pc by commands or something??

Did you try the download mode (hold volume up then plug-in to PC), wait til the PC recognized your phone, then flash your rom via lg mobile tool or update via server.

Yes I've tried it, and this is one of the main problems, when i go to the download mode and plug the phone it keeps searching for the MTP driver and failed to install it. I've tried all the solutions on the internet but with no luck.
Hi all,
I am still on Android 4.3 and have previously rooted my device. Trying to connect on a Windows 8.1 PC.
Recently I did a factory reset and now I get errors when setting up - "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" - after the device name.
I am trying to unroot my device and upgrade to 4.4.2 but I cannot get the device recognised in download mode (power + volume down + home).
I have tried different USB cables, different ports and different PCs and the only difference is that all but one USB port shows the "device descriptor request failed" error in device manager. On one port I can see it when powered on and connected, and it is recognised in Kies and Odin. As soon as I put it in download mode I get an error and the device won't start and I get the "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error.
I have nothing I need to get off the device, so am happy to try anything to get the device recognised so I can re-flash some firmware!
Any help would be most appreciated...
Thanks

Check make sure USB debugging is checked in Developer options and unknown sources in Security settings are checked.

Thanks buhohitr, I made sure they were checked and same errors.
I was wondering if it possible to load new firmware via the recovery menu? Like load the firmware onto sdcard or something?
Just trying to think of a way to flash firmware without a PC. I found a mobile Odin by Chainfire but this device is not supported.
Any thoughts?
Hello everyone.
I need your help.
My Device: LG G3 D855 32GB
The device does not turn on, the only thing that appears is because when I connect the device to a PC, I see a driver installed:
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008
I read guides on site here, and I'm trying to order
I downloaded the software BoardDiag 2.9
I downloaded the files to the appropriate TOT
I extracted the files by instructors on site.
I opened the program and I followed the guide and it seems to me an error
Download mode is enabled Mode,
I quickly disconnects from the computer and reconnect the computer and then the moment I am unable to do a test and the results are:
AP CHECK START = PASS
EMMC TEST START
FAILED TO OPEN PARTITION FROM EMMC
TEST ABORTED !!
I tried a lot of tutorials but I can not, it always seems the device is in Download Mode
What can I do more?
Please your help,
Eliran
If you go that way, you will need bunch of other stuff. Here is the link
http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/
It is a good thing that your PC recognises phone like that.
But first be sure that You can not enter download mode or recovery or even fastboot.
And please say what did you do to make it like that? Wrong flash?
If you CAN enter download mode than you can flash kdz or tot files from there. Easiest way is to use LGUP but you must be careful if you want to try.
The phone fell

I went through all the steps I found at:
Now, let’s get the party started
I set up the software the guide and I got an error:
FAIL on the EMMC test
I changed the parameter Read / Write »to« Erase
And again I got the error:
FAIL on the EMMC test
Then I try again, click Start, open a window and write in English and Chinese
Device DLOAD mode
device was not found in dload trying flash peogrammer
I click OK, the window closes and then when I press Start again, the window reappears.
Only when I disconnect the USB cable from the computer and the author briefly again then I’m able to do the test, but he failed.
FAIL on the EMMC test
The device always is in Download Mode and appears port:
RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008
My component can not be right at all and it always is in Download Mode?
I did not do short the guide, because the computer also detected me.
It has always seemed stuck in a download mode.
There is another option? Short elsewhere as will enable progress?
Thank you very much for your help,

I am exactly in the same situation. Have you found any solution so far???? My phone suddenly stopped working and didn't boot up at all first and then I used the LG Flashtool to install original TOT file and all went well. I forgot to close LG Flashtool and it started flashing again. LG Flash tool restarts the phone at about 80% and then it failed at that point and since then I am having this issue.................
Any solution???????
