I bought the Xperia Play r800x I believe. It has the Verizon Logo so thats what my assumption is. My question is, can I use AuroraPlay on it? Can I flash the custom rom to it? I noticed that the tags on the official thread only say GSM, so I have no idea if I can flash this.

I have an unlocked and rooted Xperia Play Verizon CDMA 800x. With Android 4.04 4PDA-XPLAY-GAMER-ULTRA AND KERNEL 2.6.32.9-LUPUS-ICS-BETA. Great system for an 800i but problem is that it is a Gsm version only. So i can't use my phone lol
Im new to this! so, if you have any good kernels and rom that are CDMA compatible & fully functional can you send them my way. I have bricked my phone a couple times so im looking for somthing pretty easy to do. so a tutorial would help thanks.

You can use any ICS or JB kernels on your R800x. You just cant use GSM gingerbread kernels on your xperia play. There are only 2 xperia play kernels which is lupus and doomkernel. Thats about it.
My friend has a xperia play from at&t which is sim unlocked and he wants to try a few custom roms. His phone "bootloader unlocking allowed" is "no".
It is only rooted but with stock recovery and stock rom. So can anyone guide me how to install custom recovery and what roms can be flashed on locked bootloader for sim unlocked at&t xperia play? Or there's no way to do that?
He is willing to run jellybean based roms.
I have searched around but it is getting confusing and I did not find any specific guide for at&t xperia play.
Please help!
Edit: his xperia play says the model is r800i in the *#*#7378423#*#* menu but it is from at&t. I don't know why it says r800i maybe because he had flashed the 2.3.2 ftf made for r800i.....
Either your friend did it or someone else, his phone is running an R800i rom, so either from a FTF or custom ROM that was flashed....i this a second hand Xperia PLAY your friend has?
Yes i asked him he said he flashed r800i ftf himself. And please let me know which ftf and rooting method should i use to root the at&t xperia play and the steps to install custom recovery and which roms will work
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
Bump.... Please anyone?
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
just searched a bit and found this....
First you have to look if your friend's phone is an r800 at or i. if it's blue then it is an at (as it should be being an AT&T) or just remove battery and look behind the phone.
I just looked for it on google writing this "what rom works on r800at" and found this
1 . R800at ROM Questions Read the whole thread. itr's only 3 pages. It essentially says that any r800i (internatinoal, non branded model) ROM works in r800at since both are gsm based. Just have to set up apn setting. But r800x roms doesn't work with r800at because they are CDMA not GSM
2. What is the best rom for gaming? R800at. I have an r800a (branded model) and I recomend this one DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. but if you're looking for a jellybean-like just flash [ROM] [GSM] [2.3.4] Gin2JellyBean [v1.8.4] - |Fast|Smooth|Stable|Eye Candy|. It looks like jelly bean but it's Gingerbread based.
Anyway, you only can flash stock-based ROMs if you have locked bootloader, and the Xperia Play never got official jellybean, so you are restricted to only GB-based and ICS-based roms. Just get some GB based themed with jelly bean!!!!! Also if you have locked BL you have to stick with stock kernel and can't oveclock. Sorry:crying:
Please click on "thanks" buttons if I helped

Yes, but ...

The question that comes is WILL it actually run? As long as your Xperia Play has a proper rom without a messed up device ID you should be able to snag it no problem. From my experience, the ICS Betas (4.0) and Sonygenmod (4.1) are the only roms that don't do retarded things to the phone, thus allowing proper play store use.
