I guess this is enough

:(

Will send it to LG tomorrow

I just wonder, will it be on warranty? There was no superadmin installed before it got bricked, and there was the official 2.2.2 rom on it. Can they know if before that I installed custom roms? If so, does anyone know how much I would have to pay to get it back working?

thanks in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
Why were u downgrading when root for froyo 2.2.2 and 2.2.1 is available ?

You must try again by reading all the tutorials to bring back the dead phone. Its true that once you disconnected the phone, its not easy to bring back but try on other machine/pc. People has recover it even when they disconnect the phone.

Or

If you are taking it to LG service center, tell them you were updating the phone, but it crashed and didnt bootup. If they ask you anything about custom rom, tell them you dont know anything about that and this is your first android phone and they would repair it in warranty.

From my opinion, they will repair the phone as you haven't installed any recovery, rom yet.

If they are not repairing it in warranty, the charges could cost as much as you can buy a new phone.

Good luck.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] enriquez90:
Well the phone is not responding at all, tried to pull off the battery for many hours and then pull it back in to try charging it and next turn it on, but I didn't get the expected results..

"Good" new is that phone completely on stock settings as I just did the original 2.2.2 update and didn't have root and custom recovery aswell... they shouldn't be able to check if i had custom roms/recovery as mainboard should be completely gone :/

I will definitely take it to LG service next week in the spare time..

Use PC companion/SEUS/flashtool to flash your phone back to 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
You didnt use the format options in 'partition tools' did you? If you used the 'format system' option you removed everything including XRecovery files and flashing may not work. I think your problem with the 2.3 install was likely because of the wrong baseband.

Never wipe the phone after installing a ROM all it will do is erase what you just did and you'll need to reinstall. If you reboot after wiping you no longer have a FW on your phone. Just read the instructions and follow each step exactly and you wont have any problems. Almost any problems you have can be avoided by simply reading.

nah like i said earlier now my phone is on build 3.0.A.2.184 and works pretty good no problem since i updated :D

Also it doesn't disable/affect rooting with gingerbreak so go Ahead guys

note: before i got the update, i updated playstation apps on market maybe the update will be available only after u do that !

gingerbrick does not work on 2.3.3 fact!

ok i see but it's not a problem for me i used root only to move apps. now that i know adb command ... the other stuff i don't need them seriously.

Just plugged my UK R800i into my PC and it said there was a update for my phone, DIDN'T do it, looked on the SE website and found this

New Sony Ericsson software is now available for your phone. Update your software to get the latest features and corrections and keep your phone in the best possible state.

When the new software is available, you may receive a message in the notification bar of your phone. The easiest way to get the new software is to accept this update.

New features include:
• Facebook fully integrated in your multimedia apps, phonebook and calendar
• Upgrade to the latest Android platform for smartphones, Gingerbread 2.3.3

You can use your mobile network* or a Wi-Fi connection to download the software. Alternatively, you can connect to your PC and use PC Companion (if you don’t already have it, download via the button below).

Note that availability may be dependent on your operator and/or market.

* Operator data charges may apply.

The Facebook this is something that i do actually want, but if i install, will i lose everything from unlocking and rooting?? ggrrr, need answers =/
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
new update also boots very quickly
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:

if so did it effect ANYTHING on the phone? remove bootloader unlock? remove root?

[Xperia Play Android Development] WelshPaul:
It has already been uploaded, there are two big threads about it on here!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jay01:
If I'm not mistaken but they require you to root your phone, which I'm not willing to do now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] alreadyused:
I'm on Orange UK and have been spamming the update option in system settings for 24hrs to no avail. I've now installed the SE Companion desktop software and received the update immediately. If you've not received the update yet I'd recommend giving the desktop software a try.

[Xperia Play Android Development] WelshPaul:
Pretty sure you do not need to root your handset to flash it with 2.3.3 which is un-rootable at present anyway.

I may stand corrected though. :confused:

The 2.3.3 update is not available over the air anyway so you need to use the SE pc updating software to get the update!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mozza2k11:
Its not that you shouldnt you cannot update using SUES or your using your phone when your bootloader is unlocked you will have to update by flashing the lastest firmware. Find instruction here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591

no you dont need to. I used SUES with a locked bootlader and with root present and SUES just installed the new update. It would be better to unroot though and remove busybox e.t.c since the update will unroot you but not remove any of your apps. See here for the improvements http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14165093&postcount=71

To manually flash the update you need an UNLOCKED bootlader not root. Root just allows you to remove the crap.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jay01:
Maybe right, but if I install the whole ROM will I not lose everything?

I though it be those small patch updates that they release for my Nexus S which you can update from the boot menu.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jay01:
Thanks mate, sorry for being lazy but how do I unlock my bootloader? will that have an affect on my phone warranty?
[Xperia Play Android Development] WelshPaul:
Don't unlock your bootloader!!!

It will void your warranty, plus you will be unable to update your phone via Sony Ericsson so unless someone uploads a future firmware your going to be screwed!

There are no benefits at present to unlocking your boot loader so leave well alone, have you used the SE pc software to check for the update or just the handset OTA method?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jay01:
Cool, thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll just wait for Sony to push this through. Thanks man!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mozza2k11:
If your bootloader is still locked dont unlock it. If you do you void both the phone and software warranty or maybe just the software warranty not sure (since mine is still locked). But if you unlock the bootloader your phone will be reset and everything on it apps/games e.t.c will disappear.

Also you will no longer receive updates from SE using SUES or the phone. Its better to keep it locked if your not to sure what your doing. Try downloading SUES http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en and follow the instruction. Many people who could not get the update through the phone can on SUES
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
My bootloader is unlocked, and i am rooted, when i plug my phone into my pc using SE PC Companion it says there is an update ready and tries to start the update, i havent done it yet cos i dont want my bootloader to be relocked, i am just a bit stuck now as i REALLY want the features in the new update!!

HELP ME!!!!! (lol)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mozza2k11:
As stated in my previous post in this thread you cannot update your phone through SUES, PC Companion or in the phones menus once the bootloader is unlocked (it may say update available but when you try install the update it will see the bootloader is unlocked and cancel the update). When you unlock the bootloader you will recieve no future updates for your phone from SE. If you want to update to 2.3.3 (or any future updates) you will have to flash the update onto your phone.

See here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591 or there is a rooted version of 2.3.3 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098736 just follow the instruction and you will have 2.3.3 installed on your phone.

Also your bootloader cannot be re-locked once unlocked (at the minute). The only thing the update will do is unroot your phone (unless you installed the rooted 2.3.3 rom) not relock the bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Thanx Mozza :)

I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098736

and it worked fine!! basically all i did was:

1. flash the non-rooted ftf file using flashtools

2. reboot handset

3. flash the rooted rom using fastboot

4. reboot handset

5. enjoy the rooted fun of my play!!

All working fine, root and superuser!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] v3rn:
I'm having trouble getting the update over the air, but I'm trying to get it via the SE PC Companion. But it's asking me to put the phone into Media Transfer Mode, but I can't seem to figure out how. On my US Spec Play I only have the option to turn on USB Transfer mode or off.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kenshindono:
go to setting sony erricsson menu and then select connectivity menu

[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You can't change the connectivity mode in the R800x.

BTW,people, you lose your warranty not by unlocking your BL's alone, something which you are allowed to do if your phone comes SIMfree. You lose your warranty if you modify the phone's software, such as rooting or using third party firmwares (for which you need open BLs).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
I could if I knew where they were. Someone more knowledgeable than I would probably know where they usually are. Unfortunately, I cannot search the device because most standard commands are not available(find, grep, etc.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bcmobile:
Cool. Thanks.

Have you tried adding busybox? Im surprised that the root 'package' didn't include them. I think Titanium Backup will add it for you but not the symlinks AFAIK so you need to prefix each command with busybox. eg:

busybox chmod +x <file>
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
it won't let me create a link to /system/bin/ because it's stuck at read only. I created a thread about this already, but does anyone know how to remount /system? I've tried the standard ways and they don't seem to work

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bcmobile:
If all else fails, use Root Explorer to remount /system
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] black beard:
Just thinking "out loud" here, but would it be fair to say that if someone could extract the boot and recovery images from these google 10.1's that they could be flashed onto a 10.1v with Odin or fastboot and allow the 10.1v to be rooted in the same way as the 10.1g?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bcmobile:
That's what I'm hoping
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /system

but obviously that isn't needed.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
alright, so I have busybox working

but all the tutorials I've found have said to use

cat /proc/mtd

to find out what to pull but for me, it just returns

dev: size erasesize name

also, they say to use

cat /dev/mtd/mtdX > /sdcard/mtdX.img

but /dev/mtd doesn't exist on this device

any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bcmobile:
Stupid question, but you did do a

su

before running these commands?

Sometimes it's the simple things :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
it certainly wouldn't be the first time I'd missed something as blatantly obvious as that, but no I did remember this time. That's not to say that I'm not missing something else that should be completely obvious, but I did at least remember to run it as root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bcmobile:
Haha - yeah, Ive certainly been stumped by simpler things than that. Usually success if followed by a facepalm :D

Really appreciate your persistence with this!

Could you possibly post the output of:

adb shell mount

and

adb shell su ls -l /cache

You should see from this output which device is mounted as /cache and how the /cache/recovery is mounted/linked.
