[Q] [RQST] Rooting in R800i 2.3.4 Xperia Play

Hello Guys,
I´m a newbie on this particular forum and after a huge research I found a lot of information but nothing related to this.
My phone is an xperia play R800i [unfortunately running only in 2G mode due that the ICE operator in Costa Rica only runs at 850MHz 3G ]
I´m not a Linux savy person and yesterday one of my peers helped me yesterday while we were at work in doing several things.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.ORIGINAL Setup-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
R800i with:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
build number: 4.0.A.2.368
BASEBANd: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Locked bootloader and phone was SIM unlocked (it was from Swisscom)
No Root on this.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--
Steps my peer did:
- Unlocked the bootloader. (he did it in a matter of seconds)
- installed the R800I world version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
--- The following happened:
- Constant messages that Android Crashed.
- No SIM being recognized / no signal from SIM chips.
----Troubleshoot: I did a phone restore and that fixed the Android issues, although the camera crashed constantly and no storage card was recognized.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
2nd test:
My peer then downloaded a new firmware which is the following:
4.01.A.0.283 (please see captures) and is super stable although I lost root access.. never used the feature and I seriously want to remove games such as Sim, etc...
Battery life is awesome and Xloud, Cam, everything works like a charm!.
Is there a possibility that someone points me out to a video tutorial in order to root this great device R800i and have super user access?.
I love the firmware but if someone is kindly enough to have a video for this version it would be most than useful

Guys, what a great forum!.
I was able to root with "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox"
I´m so glad about this app, I have removed the the Sims3 and Fifa 10 hehe..
Now, what can I do next? I have 2 questions... (although just I´ll be digging more the internet..) and I even installed the Titanium Backup ;-)
1. How can I remove all the "ads" after I install something?.
2. Is there a way to download using "torre..ts" and install the APK´s for games without having the "warning" message that reports that my app is not authorized by gameloft hehe.. ?
3. Any Themes for xperia play (although I´ll search on this one)
Thank you again pals!!!! most appreciated!,

1. AdFree https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree&hl=sv
2. No idea. And I don't support piracy so I won't help you there. These things are cheap anyway.
3. Not much. There are a few in the themes forum that can be flashed. If you want different themes I suggest using another launcher.

Hello Folks,
Looking for some guidance... is there a new version of Firmware that I didn´t knew?. My Mobile is offering me the OTA update 4.0.2.A.0.42... however as I´m with root + BL unlocked obviously is not letting me to update.
What should I do?. My phone is showing the 4.0.1.A.0.283 running 2.3.4.

[Q] Change Device Name after root

Hey
I've managed to root and upgrade my device to 4.1.2, and keep the signal (network discovery)
now, since I live in Japan my phone's model is Acro HD SO-03D (and not Acro S LT26w/i).
After rooting and flashing (excluding the baseband)... my phone details says its LT26w, I didn't mind much but it kinda restricts me from using various applications, I wanted to use HULU (Japan) and I've got a proper account but it says it can't play the videos on this device. (works fine on the PC)
I've check the site and Acro HD is on the list of playable/supported devices.
I think that because HULU doesn't recognizes the new device name, it doesn't play anything.
Is there a way to change it ? just the name of the device.
I've tried this:
http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/change-device-name-android-version.html
but it didn't work. it just changes the name in the ABOUT PHONE section.
Thanks in advance :angel:
EDIT:
I found this but it didn't help me much
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226181&highlight=device+name
I don't want to just see the name in the ABOUT page, I actually want to fool applications into thinking I have SO-03D.
Can I just make HULU ignore the phone type and play it anyways ?
EDIT:
Here's the reply I got:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have confirmed that the latest Android version for Japanese Docomo Xperia acro HD SO-03D is (Android 4.0. / Build number: 6.1.F.0.128). And build 6.2.B.0.211 does not seem to be supported here in Japan. If you have made any changes personally like rooting, this won't be supported for viewing.
I am sorry for the inconvinience but please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with this issue.
How can I fool the application into thinking I've got a downgraded version ?
beside changin' the stats in the ABOUT DEVICE page...

Identification of my cell phone

Hello friends ... I need a help from you in order to understand where I can be changing the ID of my phone. I have an Xperia ZQ (I'm Brazilian) and the last ROM's, he became identified as Xperia ZL. This does not alter the functioning of the cell, being more a cosmetic issue than a relative necessity, but even so, I wonder if I can again change this ID to Xperia ZQ and if possible, teach me how. I've looked at the build.prop file and could not find this identification. Hugs!

I find a reference in the build.prop file about Xperia ZL, switched to ZQ and restarted the phone ... anyway, Windows keeps detecting it as Xperia ZL ... are somewhere I need to change?
Thanks..

There are enough guides already, if you struggle with the existing ones you're not reading them properly.

No professional qualification required, just a little common sense and some grey matter should suffice.
