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!

If I'm not wrong u will have to put some rom in your internal memory and flash it with custom recovery. Find a way to do that and best of luck.

Thanks for your reply but i am looking looking for a way to put some rom in the internal memory of the phone as there is no card slot in the phone. And it would be really appreciated if anyone can help me.
what I recommend is, download a stock rom ftf (.96 maybe) put you phone is flash mode and then flash it using flashtool and voila!

this might help.
and then connect your phone to your pc and then use recuva to recover the recoverable files from the internal storage.http://www.piriform.com/recuva
When i connect my phone to the laptop, it doesn't recognized by the laptop. Can you plz tell me what i can do so when i connect my phone it will be recognized by the laptop. Thanks
can you but your device in flashmode? In recovery mode, the device doesn't recognized by the PC unless you mount sd card.
what os you have on laptop?
for flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302569
Window 7 home basic.
Dude its not recognized because of the drivers, either try to download the drivers for your phone separately and install them on your computer, try to change the USB cable and must use the cable that came with the phone, try connecting it to a different computer, install ADB on the computer and check the device by giving the ADB device detect command (this will only work if you have ADB drivers on your computer for the device... I guess this should help you.

1. Download & install flashtool with its drivers
2. Download .96 firmware (ftf)
3. Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware directory
4. Run flashtool, click on flashmode () and choose your ftf from the list then click on next or ok or something
5. Power off your phone
6. While you connect your usb press volume down button
7. Then the pop up window Will close and the installation will begin
8. When it's done it will write: plug down your phone and turn it on etc etc.
If it's difficult, try to reinstall with Sony companion

The problem i am facing when i am trying to install ftf file using flashmode is, my phone only stays in flashmode for few second and jumps out of it and shows opensemc logo and all process finished. And same thing with sony pc companion, phone shows up in it for few seconds and then it disconnect automatically.

I just had to deal with this myself. You should plug the device into the computer with the device off. Turn it on and let it try to boot and Windows should try loading the driver for it. Hold power and volume up just long enough for the screen to go off and unplug it.
If your drivers are loaded you should be able to go into recovery, mounts and storage, and mount the sd card with it plugged into the computer. It should mount and you can put a rom on the sd and flash.
If it will not mount then your drivers are still not installed. If ftf is the way you want to go then load flash tool and plug in the device while off holding volume down. It should recognize the device. It will not stay in flash mode long. Best way is set up your flash and once ready plug the device in. Hope you get it going again as I am sure you will. Just be patient :good:
Hopefully this will help
First of all use Windows 7 32-bit
Most probably it is a driver related issue.
Download latest flashtool and install all the drivers.
Also check weather you have automatic updates of Windows are ON.
Check in the device manager if all the devices connected are recognized.
When you connect the phone to PC does it show any message or feedback sound.
While using the flashtool use flash mode, also when asked to reboot in flashmode carryout the following steps
Unplug the phone.
Switch it off/ If already switched off make sure it is completely off no icon nothing.
then connect the phone and switch on by holding both Vol Up and power button, you will see green LED glow.
Hi all:
I am a blind. My device is Verizon LG G3. Android version is 11c. I want to realize device test mode, so I call ##228378 then press call button to enter services menu. Then I click the first option. A dialog appears and ask me to restart the phone. I don't know talkback cannot run at all. I press OK. Then I cannot do anything. I cannot hear any sound. I find a friend to help me to quit the mode. But she don't know how to do. I search in the internet, I know that if pressing power button then power off menu could quit this mode. My phone is restarted normally. But I find a new quesstion: my USB test mode is unavailable. I cannot use adb to control my phone. I find a rom flash tool to refresh the rom to solve this problem. But this tool cannot find any devices. My phone is seemed not to be connected into the computer. I want to update my system and root the phone. I can transport files into my phone. So USB cable is no problem. I also test the phone in many computers. Please help me. Thanks!

Yes of course but the pc diden't recognise the phone and it say its " not cot connected"
You need to install device drivers and ADB drivers before trying. Use USB 2.0 ports too, it's acting wired with 3.0 ones
This may be a huge one. Someone accidently resetted my phone. Now i had to start from the start menu. When I connect the wifi after it gets stuck on "checking for updates." So then I wanted to reinstall the rom from via twrp. Now I find out im stuck on this because I have no back up and no extra roms to flash. So I tried to connect to my pc but my phone has issues with connecting on pc. It does not even show up on device manager. No unknown devices no exclamation point. Only way I know it connected is when I disconnect it makes a disconnect sound. Any help? I tried fastboot its a no go, adb sideload just loops on loading, and just recovery and it does not work. Any help please I need this fixed asap.
try to connect on usb2 port. I have similar problems when connected to usb 3 port on laptop or desktop.

Delete all the installed drivers relating to the phone and then connect the phone. Necessary drivers will be installed. If not solved, try another PC, cable, USB port etc.
usbdeview from nirsoft might help you to clean your driver.
When you connect your phone to your computer, is it on fastboot or on recovery ?
You should grab adb and fastboot driver (i'll upload them if needed), go to fastboot and plug your phone.
If you type from command line fastboot devices you should see your devices. If not, driver issue.
If you see it, then flash the official recovery : fastboot flash PathToRecovery\name_of_recovery.img, then sideload latest OB through OP recovery.
I don't know if its the faster option, but its easy as f*ck with that way to come back nearly stock. After that, you could flash twrp and the rom you want.

Get back to stock and don't use mod, or use a stable ROM. Nitrogen 9.0 ROM havn't got issue with sound.
