Same here. I got credits from devinci and flashed my original firmware, didnt seem to help. Is it posible it got "sim locked"? and need like an unlock code now? or is the preset.ta caused the problem?

Or just that we just need flashtool to support simunlock.ta....
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Oh and really appreciate your efforts Waz... Real sorry to have your phone be the same as ours.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] soudara:
yes davinci no help me with my original firmware i just test

and fastboot don't work now no blue led just boot my phone after 10 second

sorry for you waz0000
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Just realised.

To get sdcard to work, just close the back battery cover. ahahaha..... but sim still not recognised....
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
A crazy idea. guys, could you try entering fieldtest mode. Phone and enter "*#*#4636#*#*" in here, select phone info, menu and select radioband. Set it to auto. Exit and reboot.
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Doesnt work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Ok.

I need something to understand whats happening :-)

Someone with a working phone AND someone with a broken phone download omnius and dump the TA in advanced menu. Thanks.

Also please try this:

Lock your screen and push these buttons:

M B B M B M M B

B back M menu

This will show service menu. Whats says the locks?

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
no luck doing this on my phone, tried it with lock screen (screen on) and tried with screen off.. does it need to be done quickly?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
The same here?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Alter the keys a little maybe its not menu on play.

so try middle key instead of menu etc.

I think the combination is the same like on other androids from SE.

So please try to get into the menu.

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
try this from phone

*#*#7378423#*#*

That will give you that menul
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
Hm... having problems installing the drivers in the recovery mode.

Windows tells me eveytime "S1 Boot Download - No drivers found" but the Fastboot installation worked well :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
My phone, not locked, not bricked. All locks have number 5. Except SIM which says 0.

Will try to grab ta later, when at work
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
Just cant manage to install the drivers :/ Any fix for that? Tried to uninstall those but didnt fixed anything...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
My phone has a locked bootloader,non branded, no simlock and rooted (am running UK generic 1.84).

I've also got 5 in all except sim wich is 0 aswell.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
Seems omnia does not fully support the play. Advanced menu is grey and im only able to select identify
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
Not to worry guys, I know the guy in the phone shop just rang him and the way he see's it, "Sony allowed you to unlock the bootloader, you havent customized the software and it doesnt work, sony's own restore wont fix it so as far as im concerned it's faulty bring it back and ill replace it."

I suggest everyone who can do the same, Im going to edit the orginal post as this isnt really a fix, it's curing one problem and creating another.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jassired:
The guy at service center returned back my Xperia Play saying it has modified Software and out of Warranty.He was demanding almost 70% of original for the phone replacement.

He also showed me that EMMA was not accepting to force flash the Phone unlike other models.

So i guess i need to wait fix from XDA and Sony service center is of no help
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
I would take that further if I was you, unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty regardless of what they say, the phone is not fit for purpose and is faulty.

they cannot simply brush it aside, the software is not customized only the bootloader is unlocked. So the software is no longer covered but the hardware certainly is!

If its refusing to flash the hardware is faulty simples!
[Xperia Play Android Development] jassired:
Thanks..i will try explaining the same to him.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Well,

you guys need to get me all firmwares which are available please, even .181 firmwares if there are some.

Thanks!

[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Do not use anymore this method!

It will brick your simlock state in device and cannot be undone without payserver!
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
Not got a brick anymore Ive replaced it with the shop for a new one, bootloader i think will stay locked now.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
okay i wrote the_laser.

Let's see what he says, he is the absolut expert on SE phones. If he has a solution -> good!

If he says it's bricked forever -> it is like this.

But lets wait for his answer!

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Fingers crossed! thanks bin4ry!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
ok, i got answer now and understood what happened here.

Actually trying to find a way to reset the phone to a bootloader locked state.

Will write again after some research.

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
It's possible as divinci did it with mine, it didn't repair the phone though.

It enabled me to use the Sony restore but fastboot was still broke.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yes it is possible to relock the phone.

But i have to compare some parts.

For all who are bricked:

The only way to revive your phone is to use SETool2 to sign simlock area again OR relock bootloader of your phone again.

After relock you are able to use SEUS again, and even if SEUS fails -> you can now go into service centre and let them repair your phone!

I'm working on a free way to relock the devices. Stay tuned!

Regards
[Xperia Play Android Development] dsswoosh:
Can i be the first to say the obvious here btw.

The Xperia Play does not have a radio.
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
what do you mean?

Do you mean as in FM Radio??

The phone has a radio to connect to GSM/3G networks and wifi networks....
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Staying tuned!!!!! not to radio though.. ahaha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] dsswoosh:
Yea I mean FM radio.

hi

i just download setool2 but i have error " setool2 smartcard error" have you got a tutorial fore this software ?

ty
[Xperia Play Android Development] Bin4ry:
You have to buy SETool2 ! It's NOT a free software!

Now Androxyde has finished the TA dump in Flashtool.

Please download this version:

http://www.multiupload.com/KYL6AU3D90

I need a TA dump of a bricked phone and one of a working (and locked!!) phone! This is important to compare the areas.

For that start Flashtool -> Advanced -> Dump Properties

ONLY USE THIS VERSION FOR THAT,DON'T FLASH YOUR PHONE WITH THIS VERSION OF FLASHTOOL!

Thanks.

i use software site qunlocktools in semc flash mode buy credit login with software click unlock and conect phone in flash mode after 35second get sucess reboot phone with simcard and ok
[Xperia Play Android Development] Laird_Attwood:
No doubt they are mirroring a EMMA set up which has a SE customization dongle attached.

Know from working with EMMA before that some customize flashes will lock handsets fully, the dongle authorises the flash and activates the lock side of things. Its also how SE service centres can unlock and lock handsets to Networks.

Could also be the case that totalGSM/davinciteam or Wotan (if they support Play and offer unlocking would do the same?)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
I used davinciteam also worked great!
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
I dont see support for xperia play for unlocking at divinciteam web.... which service or link you chose?

davinci no work for me just for reflash original firmware no for repair simcard
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
i tried fastgsm. after purchasing the credits. when trying to obtain login and password for unlock of xperia, they return a msg on the web saying "no free login to asign, pls contact support at info@fastgsm.com..."

Confirmed working for me, the official Sony Ericsson Repair Centre couldn't fix it but Fastgsm fixed it in a minute, lol

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] kailash911:
i still didnt receive my credit... Can I buy someone's credit? lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] bitme30:
Flashed my phone, and it went out of recovery loop.

As i'm reading all the posts 4 times in this thread, i have to ask.

The phone is now operator locked, so that's why we don't get signal ?

If we use fastgsm, it will unlock the phone, and i'll get signal again ?

What about fastboot? The flash seems to have erased the possibility of doing this?

Will there ever be a fix - or is this project not possible?

BOUNTY CREATED FOR PERMANENT FIX
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
Hi. Was your phone SIM-unlocked and fastboot capable before you applied this fix?

If yes, that's a big discovery ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] soudara:
hi

yes my phone is genuine sim unlocked and fastboot capable , now fastboot not work
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
That's great news, because this proved my theory that fastboot flag is located in TA.

Can you download this: http://www.gsmdownload.net/Omnius/Omnius_for_SE_v0.19.3593.zip

And use "Identification" option, then post the log here?

I think that this no-radio issue is due to corrupted TA after writing simlock.ta

However, it's strange how phone boots with tampered TA.

Can you confirm, your phone is SIM-locked now, or not?

Thanks

this is from a locked bootloader one, it's sim free and waiting to be unlocked but this phone wont be unlocked everything works fine on this phone. I also suspect your correct, as so far yours is the most logical conclusion.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
Thanks for the log.

I'm sure that this test will be 100% safe if it could be done - if we could backup and write TA:

-backup TA

-unlock bootloader

-brick it with OTA

-apply the current fix from first post

-phone won't have signal

-restore original TA. Phone will get signal back, and bootloader will be locked.

Also, can you give me log from an non-working phone (with no signal, and one still bricked and not repaired with simlock.ta file)?

You can repair with FastGSM, but you still won't have fastboot and you'll have to wait for that, and I hope that free fix will fix both radio and fastboot.
