Hello Everyone
I tried to find a solution without troubling anyone, so I searched a lot and a lot of threads all over the internent with no hope . I have tried as many possiblesolutions as I could find even those which are not meant for xperia play. I will explain everythingvery clearly for those who want to help or even try to ...
The Problem :
My Xperia Play suddenly doesn't get pass the Sony Ericsson text at the boot screen which appearsas soon as you turn on the device. It keeps hanging on that white text on that black background for hours until I pull out the battery . I then found out that if I connect my charger before turning on the device it will boot normally as usual . I also found out that as soon as I disconnect the charger cable , the phone will immediately turn off. Another important issue is that even when I mamange to boot the phone normally by the charger , the screen does not respond to my touch even in CWM touch recovery in Doomkernel . Despite that , I can operate the phone completely using the key pad . That means the phone is full functional except for the " boot " and " touch " problems.
What I have done so far :
- I flashed different stock firmware FTF several time via Flash Mode including .42 , .58 enhanced , and .62 using flashtool with flashing ending in success each and everytime .
- I flashed different kernels via Fastboot Mode including DoomlordKernel v14 (GB ) , DoomlordKernel v3 ( ICS ) , and Lupusv11 ( ICS)
- I have accessed CWM recovery serveral times and formated each and everything that could be formatted including data , system , cache ..etc
- I have also tried flashing different ROMs such as NXT 1.3 and Markpython XPlay ICS
- I have put phone in a rice bag in case it had moister or water damage !
- I have disassemble the phone completelypart by part and found nothing damaged so I cleaned it and ressambeled it again
- I have left the phone for days without turning it on . I also tried keeping the battery out for several hours.
- I have used a replacement new battery just in case it was my battery has a problem.
- I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone via Sony Update Service and the repairing process endedin success.
The results so far :
Nothing changed at all . After doing all of the above and repeating it. I even did more things I can't remember now.Everything is still the same. The phone is stuck at SE text at boot screen and if connected to charger then turned on it will boot normally but the touch screen doesn't respond for some reason I can't figure out , although the digitizer is intact.
What I am doing now :
- I have no more trick to try and I am totally depressed about this ZOMBIE Xperia Play which is half working and half borken.
Thank you very much for your time and for trying to help
I am waiting for your suggestions ...
For your touch screen problem, I doubt that the digitizer is damaged. As for your booting issue, I'm not sure.
looks like the battery doesn't give enough power to the phone

Maybe it is invisabely damaged . However, if I can't fix my boot issue , getting a replacement digitizer is just a waste of money.

I tried using a new battery the other day at the phone's shop and the same thing happened . The phone just
doesn't continue to boot and get stuck at Sony Ericsson text.

The power turns on and the screen turns on when the I power the device. The problem is booting into the system.
It get stuck at Sony Ericsson text . However, it's very mysterious why the phone turns off when the charger is disconnected , perhaps the real question is : how come the battery powers the device but can not boot it and keep it running ?
You didn't say what version is your xperia play is. Is it R800x, R800i, R800a, R800at? If you have the xperia play CDMA version you cant use GSM kernel or roms.
I dropped my phone (after replacing the housing) and had the same thing happen to me. Opened it up again and the digitizer cable was loose. Fixed it for me.
EDIT- My phone would turn on without the need of the cable, but i couldnt mount my sd card/enter mtp unless i connected the usb cable prior to turning it on (so my issue was slightly different).

I already opened up my device and disconnected the digitizer cable and reconnected it and the touch was
still not working but I'll try it again as soon as I fix my boot issue. The phone doesn't boot to the system
unless connected to the charger prior to turning it on.
my phone is only 6 months old ... It runs perfectly when connected to charger but as soon as I disconnect it the phone turns off ... using a new battery doesn't solve the problem ... what could it be that causing this ?!
Final Solution to your problem
You will have to use odin. Just connect it to a laptop/desktop and run Odin. It will fix your problem and if this doesnt work you will have to send it to a Sony centre in your neighborhood. But I am sure odin will fix it. I had a similar problem once. So try odin.
Click thanks if you appreciate this

I never used this program before . I thought it was flashtool equivalent for samsung phones. I guess I was wrong. I really appreciate your help . Could you please explain more about the process. Give me steps to follow... Thank you very much I really appreciate your great help.
I'm pretty sure Odin is only for Samsung phones as the phone has to be in "download mode" for anything to work and well Sony devices don't have a download mode

Odin is only for Samsung phones, and I'm having an issue quite similar with my Play R800at. I just got it from a friend. It boots, continues up to ATT screen, then resets. I can't figure out how to boot into recovery, I can't find flashtool, I'm completely lost. I should have stuck with my S3.

Well Sony xperia devices don't have a stock recovery...so it should go into fast boot if you take the battery out and hold search on the phone,plug the USB into the PC and the phone led should turn blue and bam your in fast boot

I did fix the boot loop issue. If you download the Sony pc companion, hold the back button and plug the usb in at the same time, it will download a repaired version of the latest firmware and fix the boot loop.

Just wondering but did anyone solve the initial issue as the same thing has happened to my xperia r800i
1. Flash ftf with flashtool
2. Flash gb/ics/jb kernel
3. Flash gb/ics/jb rom via the kernel recovery
It should do it but kernel has to match the ROM.
Example: if i want to flash jb rom then I have to flash jb kernel.

I think the best solution is to seek help on any sony mobile center near at your place.
Have you tried reflashing again?

There is no sony mobile help center in my country ... I'm from Libya BTW.
I tried everything . flashtool , SUS, Different FTFs , and many more...
Um, could be your battery? As it seems that your phone needs the extra power to burst into life?
Hey guys ,
I need some help , i have a Lg G3 D855 and i got a big issue with it.
I have another one and a G2 just to clear that its not my first time flashing roms.
So the device is completely stock on LG "life is good " isn't it ? :cyclops:
If it shut down and i connect to the charger it still stock on battery logo and won't show charging , so trying to flash it to stock rom.
Shutting it down -> Holding volume up -> connect to the PC -> shows download mode but won't go to Firmware update screen !
and the PC won't identify it ! and now it even won't go to download mode.
any idea , other then the warranty ? cause i have a little problem with it.
THANKS !

Hello Everyone!
So my issue: I wanted to try flashing a new android system on my phone so I made some steps. First I rooted it there was no problem. Second I unlocked bootloader following the instructions on Sony developer website. After that I tried to start up the phone and enter recovery mode using the volume up key. That didn't work and the phone started to boot up but never booted. So I had to remove the battery and then put it back in. After that I've had several tries of booting into recovery mode but with no success. I assume the phone got stuck in a boot-loop. Alright then I falshed the original Android 4.3 stock ROM to my phone using Flashtool software. That actually was successful and my phone was back in it's original state.
So here comes the problem: phone is working correctly but it's like it isn't recognizing the 3.5 mm jack connector. Specificly when I plug in any kind of headphones I can't make the phone to use it in any way, it continues using the speakers. I've tried Sony Smart Connect app, phone still doesn't know that it has got a jack connector. The only way I was able to make the phone actually use the jack output instead of the speakers was to restart the phone with the headphone plugged in: in this case the phone uses only the jack output to play any sounds but not the speaker, even if i unplug the headphone. Still no speakers, phone is just forcing the jack output even if there is no connection... So basically the phone gets stuck either on the jack outpot or on the speakers after restart and I can't make it to use the other one anyhow. Please help me, I've been trying to fix this for hours.
I hope my problem is understandable, I'm not a native english-speaker.
Thanks in advance!
My brothers phone Motorola e5 plus (hannah) is rebooting after unplugging it from my laptop and booting into recovery TWRP i don't know what to do with this. If you can help me Thank you my friend Greeting from Poland!!!
P.s front speaker is an primary and i don't hear any sound from it.
