Can someone reply REALLY quickly as i'm going out for the weekend in about 2 hours and want this done before i leave.....

Basically, all i need to do is:

1. flash the non-rooted rom

2. reboot handset

3. flash the rooted rom

4. reboot handset

5. enjoy the rooted fun of my play!!

EDIT:

OK, so i just went ahead and did it, and guess what, IT WORKED!!!!!

**** myself slightly after flashing the non-rooted ftf file, but it all went smoothly and i am now rooted on 2.3.3 :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] kanzone:
We are not able to create the .ftf becuase there were something encrypted.

Just tried Pauls gtalk with video on this new update. And can confirm it now works. :) link is in another thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Rixter757:
Rooted and Booted :D Thanks very much Kan.

Something to note to others:

1. the sdk is now r11

2. the adbXXXX.dll file required has been moved from the default "tools" directory to "platform-tools" so you need to update the PATH system variable to ensure it is seen by windows when u run the fastboot command. Took me a while to figure that out, I don't read the readme files as a general rule :rolleyes:

I'll write up more if needed, right now I'm tired and there is beer in the fridge & poker tourns about to start ;)

Have a great weekend all...
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
This was already so in the last version, I just copied all the content from platform-tools into the tools folder, problem solved :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] kanzone:
Thanks for your information.

I'll update the step to r11 soon.

tried flashing the rooted image after the original image

Hi I tried to flash the rooted image over the unrooted image mentioned in the 1st post. But fastboot gave error message: FAILED (remote: The device must be rooted first).

Anyone encounters this problem?

thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
to flash using fastboot you first need unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zceep24:
works perfectly. thanks for the info

[Xperia Play Android Development] excession3105:
I always hate the longer than usual reboot (particularly when it appears "stuck" on the Sony Ericsson screen) after a fresh flash! Other than this usual heart failure moment, this works like a charm if you follow the instructions to the letter. There is a reason I love this site, and it is because the devs always post great stuff and never rip noobs apart for 'stupid' questions. Keep up the good work guys. :D:D

I have found that I needed to reinstall BusyBox to get Titanium Backup working. Not found anything else, but will edit this post if I do.

Would this firmware work on the canadian r800a model?

[Xperia Play Android Development] carpao:
Hi, I just unlocked the bootloader of my r800a

now I would like to use the rooted version of the 2.3.3 but I have only OSX and linux computers available at the moment.

So I cannot use flashtool to flash the .145 UK tft... Is it needed? (i.e., what means highly recommended?) Is it possible to use it by vmware or is it dangerous? is it possible to use fastboot with an alternative version?

BTW what are the advantages of flashtools vs fastboot?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
I used fastboot and a command prompt and it worked a treat. Rooted 2.3.3
[Xperia Play Android Development] carpao:
so you didn't use flashtool to flash the unrooted version?

and what do you mean by using command prompt (I know what is ... but it is unclear to me what did you use it for :-D )

thanks in advance...

EDIT: meanwhile I installed flashtool, driver, etc in vmware and proceeded with it :-) It seems that it worked :-D
[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
So does this mean you successfully got the 2.3.3 root image on your R800a, or just the unrooted 2.3.3 image? What carrier are you using and do you have any problems using 3G?

So ich habe nun endlich mein Play am richtigen USB Port bekommen.Nun steht da auch die Nummer.

Als Antwort bekomme ich zurück wie folgt: error: cannot load `play_modded.img`

So I've finally play on my right USB port bekommen.Nun is because the number.

If I give the command to flash file cannnot load.

What am I doing wrong right there?. Do I have to give the Flash files is another name it is not clear with play_modded.img `?

command is: c: \ users \ tripple c: \ android-sdk-windows \ tools \ fast boot system flash play_modded.img

In response I get back as follows: error: can not load `` play_modded.img
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:

Nope, I used fastboot to go straight from 2.3.2 rooted to 2.3.3 rooted.

[Xperia Play Android Development] Greenarcher707:

[Xperia Play Android Development] axiomjunglist:
This method also works on R800a, I previously had my bootloader locked, but decided to try unlocking now that Blagus has provided us with bootloader re-locking tool.

So you have two options, leave the bootloader locked and root to 2.3.3 via Flashtool, Gingerbreak, and and OTA update or unlock and do this method.

Update: This method does overwrite your baseband, which will probably delete your APN settings. A good idea would be to jot those down beforehand.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TheMathMan:
Hi,

It says in the first post its recommended to flash the unrooted version first due to an upgraded baseband?

If my unrooted phone has already gone to .145 via FOTA do I still need to do this step?

Thanks.

No aslong as you have it, the baseband is the radio, this system .img dosent come with the radio, thats why its best to use flashtool to upgrade first, if you already have that software version, you will have the radio too :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi,

It looks like the *#1234# method does not always show the real version of the firmware that is installed.

To get detailed data you have to install Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe which you can find here:

http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

Or directly here:

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...5/20110521192620273/Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe

After you install it you have to start it up and connect your SG2.

Please wait until Kies connects successfully.

Now you have to open/run regedit (e.g. "Windows-Key" + "R" to open run dialog and then type "regedit").

Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1".

Here you will find the "HIDSWVER" key with the original versions.

The "ProductCode" key is also important in order to help Intratech to get the original Brand ROM.

For example this is the information you should send Intratech when asking for ROMs:

Do it yourself:

On the other hand you can do it also by yourself using "Check Fus Downloader" from LuffarJoh:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032437

Here you can find the executable:

http://fus.nanzen.se/

Or directly here:

http://www.nanzen.se/download.php?id=9

You have to copy the FusCipherUtil.dll from your Kies installation (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\FusCipherUtil.dll ) to the same directory as the "Check Fus Downloader".

Then you have to run "Check Fus Downloader" and set the following in the "Firmware Info" section for the above Entel PCS Chile example:

Product Code: GT-I9100LKLCHE

PDA: I9100UHKE1

CSC: I9100CHEKE1

Phone: I9100UHKE1

In the "Choose a firmware" section you have to select "GT-I9100".

Then click the "Check firmware" button.

In the example test case you will see a successful message in the "Result" section that offers you a "Download this firmware" button.

I also was unfortunate to flash this rom resulting in the changed emei issue.

My Phone was displaying emergency calls only and i was unable to connect to data services. I used Odin ticking the phone efs clear box . After rebooting i checked my emei number but it was still displays the wrong number. However my phone now connects to the network and i can make and recieve calls and data is enabled. Not a full fix and i am not sure for how long it will work but definately an improvement on the very expensive paperweight i had.

Hopefully a full fix will come soon.

Quick update of both internal and external SD supporting recoveries to v5.0.2.8

Both .img files in one package: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0auipyswgqdsiah/cwm-5.0.2.8.zip

MD5#: 4f93fab2e4e51ecdb40acc11c9a4ba99

By request a quick explanation of the difference between the two recoveries:

Usually, your recovery image will look on the external SD card for ROMs to flash, and backups to restore, and the external version here is no different. For the most part that is fine and dandy (unless you don't have an SD card I guess), however the stock O2X mounts it's internal SD card as /sdcard, which confuses ROM Manager a fair bit.

The internal version of the recovery mounts the internal storage as /sdcard as well, so ROM Manager can find backups it's made etc.

NOTE: Backups made with v5 are not compatible with earlier versions.

Source Changelog (Built 24/03/12): https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread/

Changes by Me

None this time, as I doubt anyone uses SD-EXT or cares about the splash

Older versions:

5.0.2.7

5.0.2.6

5.0.2.3

4.0.1.5

ok i have to say it i herad it from the first recovery for the 2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
/data is where all things like apps, email, texts etc and are stored, this is what's wiped during a factory reset.

I've never used the stock recoveries wipe, so I don't know if that blitzes the internal SD card, but Clockwork doesn't.
