Bought a broken Xperia play from EBay, got it working, running Android 2.2.3 I think with locked boot loader but I'm sure it was rooted as SU was on it.
Problem is Android market won't work so got CMW recovery working and tried to install Slim bean rom, on reboot after rom install I just have Sony Ericsson on screen and can't get back to recovery.
Any ideas how to get back to stock or custom rom?

If you hold down the search (magnifying lens) button and connect the phone to the computer, what shows up in Device Manager? You should see "Sony Ericsson sa0102" or something similar. Also, what model of Play do you have, is the bootloader unlocked, and do you have FlashTool (preferably v0.9.11.0)?

I own a Sony Xperia Arc (purchased on June, 2011) and it doesn't work anymore without any explanation.
When I turn on the phone, it appears Sony Ericcson brand and then, mobile network carrier brand, but then, instead of appearing home, it appears again Sony brand and an infinite loop goes on.
At first,I tried to solve the problem with the Sony tools like PC Companion and Sony Update Service.
Then, I tried to do a hard reset (back + menu and power), but nothing changed (the same bootloop).
What would you do now? Would be useful trying to flash some firmware? I have been reading posts about flashing firmware, bootloader unlocking and rooting Xperia Arc, but I don't now really what would be the best move now.
For your information, I haven't applied any kind of official upgrade before, neither I have tried to root the phone or flash any custom firmware, so I had my phone as it came from factory (with Android 2.3.2). Moreover, I haven't installed any suspicious application, just typical apps like whatsapp and so on. By the way, the phone haven't suffered any crash neither wet.
I have attached the log I have taken when I try to turn on the phone (I get the same log again and again, at the end of the log it reports some problem with memory, I hope it's not a hardware problem):
Try using the Flashtool and report back. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304634

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and since I can't post questions in the dev section yet, I'll have to ask it here.
A few minutes ago I downloaded The ROM Ice Cream Pureness Build 14 for my Xperia Arc.
I flashed it trough CMW and now when it was rebooting after the flashing it stays at the Sony screen.
Anyone can help me out here?
This is the Rom I'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788701
I installed a root friendly kernel called: lt15i_4.1.B.0.431_kernel only
rooted it and installed
Xperia LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic Global World
Edit: This also means my device won't get detected on my computer and that I can't get into flashmode, recovery mode or fastboot.

Ok I managed to repair my device. It was hard bricked and I found a way to flash it anyway, remove battery connect the usb cable. (Phone is off right now, then press back and insert battery again, then I had to be very fast or it would start up again. flashtools opened, firmware files already prepared. then press flash and it worked
If someone interesting in History, read this :
How i root my device; when the first time i buy it, it's on .434, so, in that night, i update it to .253... Next 4 days, i want to root it, so i revert it to .434 by using a flashtool from bin4ry... It works, and nothing happened... And i feel something strange the superuser doesn't remember my Grant choice, so, i install SuperSU and i uninstall superuser.. Everything is work fine... The next thing i do is install modded google play 3.10.xx. It works... Then, i install go locker, when i press lock button, the screen is just flash, flash, flash, and the lock screen shows up... I think it's normal because of GO Locker... And then, i install modded google play again via lucky patcher, because on previous modded GP, it says no connection.. So, the phone is reboot and disaster happened...
So, i already root my Xperia ZL, everything is okay, then i install modded google play... And BAM ! It's happen.. At first, my phone only show sony logo and Xperia animation, after that it turn off automatically... I already flash rom for about 8 times, update it via SUS (Sony Update Software), nothing happened.. Now, my Xperia ZL can only show Sony logo and it turn off... BUT, i can turn it on when charger... When i charge it, everything is okay... When i unplugged it, 6 times later, turn off automatically... What should i do?
NOTE : My root is loss after i flash a new rom...
My firmware when i root it : .434, my current firmware : .253
And re-lock bootloader to download new firmware via SUS
Thx for the help :good:
*EDIT*
Xperia ZL version : C6502
Kernel Version : 3.4.0
Current Firmware Version : 10.1.1.A.253
Android Version : 4.1.2 (JB)

I accidentally clicked factory reset and when I opened my xperia M, I cannot access my home screen anymore so I decided to turn it off but when I tried to turn it on again, it only showed the sony logo and the xperia logo. I'm a newbie. Please help.
