[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
Hello,

I've rooted my xperia play a few weeks ago, no problem.

But this morning a system update poped up, and I started it, and my xperia play went off, en doesn't start anymore :(

I've tried flasher, it works, till it has been flashed, and I have to disconnect my xperia play with the computer, hold the on button and plug it again in, it doesn't start.

Can anyone help me please?
[Xperia Play General] Legato525:
Sounds like you might have to flash a new firmware. I am by no means an expert with the play but check the dev section for flashing a new image.

Or, call your carrier and let them know that their update bricked your phone.
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
I had my xperia play rooted, and I had app planet on my phone,

Doesn't have that any consequence?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Have you unlocked your bootloader when rooting?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
Yeah, I think so, is that a problem?
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
This might sound insulting and is not directed at you in any derogatory manner.

Is the battery charged?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Well I take you haven't unlocked your bootloader cause that would be a procedure you would remember doing.

If you used gingerbreak to root your bootloader is not unlocked.

You would have needed your imei no. and an unlock key from SE and fastboot commands to unlock your bootloader and flash a rooted FW ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
I had needed those think you said, imei no. unlock key etc.

So I think I have unlocked my bootloader :(

But when I want to update my xperia play from the pc, it says:"The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated."

Is there any possible way that I could unbrick my xperia play, ore should I just return it to the shop I bought it?
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
So you did a **** load of searching to find out how to unlock your bootloader & root but completely skipped the many threads stating that UPDATING WITH AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL BRICK YOUR XPERIA PLAY?!

Epic fail.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I see, afaik there's no fix that totally unbricks it. You can make it boot again but it will brake the radio. So no phone functions, calls, sms and such will not work.

You could read through this thread there's some help to get here and I think one or two gas restored there phone completely with this thread.

Blagus is working on a fix at the moment.

If you can't revive it just take it back, but don't say you rooted it nor unlocked the bootloader.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
you can rescue your play at the expence of your radio using this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056094, as it stands we have no radio.img's to flash so i dont know how long it will be before you can restore it totally :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
sorry dousan, i must of been writing mine when you posted yours :D
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
No need to be sorry, help is always appreciated ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
If I take it back, what must I say to the company?
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Just say the battery died & it won't turn back on.

A word of warning though, one poster on here took his back which was sent for repair & returned with a note saying that they were unable to repair it.
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
What do you mean?

I'm sorry i'm from the Netherlands and my english isn't that good :(
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Do you currently own a paperweight?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
He means that one guy got it back non repaired, most people just gets a replacement and he had modified FW on his phone and did as you did, updated after unlocking bootloader and flashing rooted FW.

I wouldn't worry, just tell them what deadlydazza said or that it died under an update, wich is what happened. Just leave out anything about rooting and unlocked bootloader, cause it did void your warranty.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
+1 that sounds like a good idea :P
[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
I think I'm gonna call the company tomorrow, because I don't know my imei no.

Then I will send it, I'll hope it won't take much time.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Your imei no. is in >settings>about phone>status.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Legato525:
We are talking about a bricked phone right?

[Xperia Play General] Afghaantje:
Thank you for all your help everybody, now let's pray the don't gonna be greedy en fix my phone :)

But I need to fill in some forms, and a copy of the warranty

But if they ask what's happend I must say:"I've updated my cellphone but after that it won't start".
[Xperia Play General] Legato525:
Thats all I would say. I updated and now it does not work. If they ask if you unlocked your boot loader, just say "what's that?"

Sent from my brain on channel 64!
[Xperia Play General] nelly_boy:
Do you have insurance?

I would never condone this but if you your phone was to be accidentally ran over by a carbine harvestor, I am pretty sure they would not be able to tell if the bootloader was unlocked.

Lol

I will wait a few months until things are ironed out.

So, I've been running the same stuff since I got my replacement. Stock, deodexed ec05, with maddoggin's simply blue theme/6 lok mod, and nubecoder's droid charge boot animation. All of a sudden, the market is fcing on me. I tried clearing data/cache, and fixing permissions in cwm. Nothing. It starts to load, then fc's. Any ideas?

Have you tried replacing the Vending.apk (market app)? If not pull one from a ROM and try replacing the one currently on your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
I just tried replcing it with the vending.apk frm the theme .zip. I deleted the old one, and pasted the "new" one in system/app with es file explorer, then mounted as read only. Then tried to open, it fc'd. I turned it off, booted into cwm, tried to fix permissions, and when I reboted, it fc'd upon startup. :( i'd be happy if I could keep the themed market, but I'll settle for regular I it'll work again. If you could paste the vending.apk for me, that'd be great. I'm on my phone, so icant really dowload a whole rom. I gotta get sleep lol

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Try just flashing a theme that includes a themed market. It should overwrite whatever is wrong with your market plus give you a themed market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
I flashed the theme again, and its still fcing. :confused: I don't understand why its doing this, it was working fine earlier. Right now, I just need a working market, Idc about color.

Have you tried to get on gmail? The market requires an active account and maybe that is what is causing the fc. Guessing at this point. If gmail fc's clear data in that then clear the market data and try.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Gmail works fine. When I clear data to the market, it'll let me accept the t&c blah blah, but once I hit acccpt, it starts to load, then fc's.

It happened randomly to me as well I had to start from scratch. Rewipe everything and flash rom then theme. I couldn't gey anything else to work. I also could load data for my back ups from mybackup, just the apk's otherwise the fc would come back. Good luck sorry that isn't the easiest solution.

[General Questions and Answers] Mindbenda84:
Ok, I've been coming here for a while, never posted, just read. I hold you guys as the defacto authority on all things Android. Now I know my phone in and out, and it was fine before the upgrade.

Z4 mod worked to perm root, which allowed me to use setcpu, vm heap, nlade buddy, etc. And get rid of bloatware.

Fast forward to now.

After upgrading to android 2.2 on the same phone, Z4 no longer works. Literally gets to the "acquiring root shell" step and cuts itself off. Is there a way around this, or another root ap like Z4 I can use? Un rooted, this phone is a POS ya'know?

Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure it's version 4.9 or higher. Have you downloaded the drivers? Are you in boot loader mode? Did you run RSD Lite as admin?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joergherzinger:
If you are on Win 7 (maybe also Vista) you have to run RSD Lite as Administrator, otherwise it won't do anything. Also make sure you have the correct drivers installed (32bit vs. 64bit).

Oh Thank you thank you thank you!

You are my saviour!!!!

I thought I had lost my defy and that I would have to do the battery fix, but then I ran into your post and I removed that pathetic Belkin USB crap and RSDLite could detect my phone!

I had flashed Nordic Froyo to my Indian defy and wanted to flash the official Indian Froyo.

Since I had a nandroid backup, I reached the point where I had to flash eclair fixed sbf and thats where I couldn't get Defy to get recognised in RDSLite. The log always showed "ERROR: PSTInitialize failed: Error Code 1"

After I saw your post, I promptly uninstalled that belkin software and voila! I could see my device in RSDLite and flashed the fixed sbf.

Words can't express my gratitude! :D

[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
All of a sudden my touch screen stopped responding to me, so I thought it was a rom error and went into clockwork from boot and reflashed it 4 times now and I still can't get it to see the touch screen. It was working just fine and mid message it just stopped working.

Can anyone help me with this? I tried a reset holding down the yellow button on the back too.
[HD2 General] Xura08:
Mine just did the same thing. If it's in warranty.. Just send it in.

It's the digitizer, usually.. The connections for the digitizer are right under the Call End button (the physical red one) I believe.. I've just been repeatedly pressing that button multiple times and eventually the screen will work.. until I lock it or it decides to stop, which is rarely does if the screen never goes off.
[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
SOB! Really? my end call button always felt weird for months now. I got the extended one you pay for each month on your bill, does that cover it? Also do I need to reflash it back to windows to send it back?
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
yes flash your stock windows rom..from sd card method...download your stock rom from the tmobile site or htc site which ever suits your phone ..extract the file and then search for the largest .nbh file ...rename it to LEOIMG.nbh ..place it on you sd card and follow instructions.. :) after complete you should now send it in for warranty :D
[HD2 General] guess.whoo:
I got the same problem. Is there some video how to change the touch screen? Are there some different models on the market or should I buy the first that ebay gives me?

I have the TMOUS version

thanks
[HD2 General] Xura08:
I believe any warranty will cover a defect like that granted there's no physical damage or water damage (the little water strip on the inside).

Before you send it in.. MAKE SURE that you flash everything back to stock. They would LOVE a reason to not have to fix it for you..
[HD2 General] yma900:
i have a touch screen problem i was using the hyperdroid rom.. i woke up the next day and the screen wouldnt wake up so when i restarted the phone it stuck on the go go go screen.. then i flashed a winmo stock rom and the screen stopped responding... i also did a task 29 then installed magldr then when i tried to flash CWM it didnt enter it.. i dont know is it possible that since i have the CWM problem so my problem is software related? is there a way to fix it?? please help me..

i have no warranty so if im fixing it it'll be on my expense :(
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
yours is a tmobile hd2 ... you have to buy a specific tmobile hd2's digitizer/touch screen (since it is a bit larger than the eu hd2s) and then fix it .. :) click on the thanks button if i helpedd :D
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
yours is a hardware problem ... i had the same problem once upon a time.. i had to send it for repar ...they changed the touch screen for INR 5000 i.e. about $100

.mind it it is not a software related issue probably your screen conector might have become llose or disconected..try pressing the call end key hard 2 or 3 time then it should work temporarily i.e. 10 to 15 seconds :D
[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
Weird, left it upside down all night when I was sleeping and it's working again. So still going to send it in, I will flash it back to stock when the new one shows up

Never mind crapped out for good this time, having tmob replace it.
[HD2 General] yma900:
so do u think that if i fix the touch screen issue i'll be able to enter CWM?? i mean isnt there some problem that needs a JTAG? i really am confused and i am willing to go to a repair center to fix it today but if i fix the screen and still cant use android so i wont benifit anything..

i tried to press the call end botton hard for more than 3 times and nothing worked... so do u still think that its the connector that is broken?
[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
Okay they are sending me a new phone, so what all should I do to the old one before it goes back? I can't use the touch screen at all but I can still get into clockwork and such.
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
Yup your screen connector is probably broken ..so send it in for a fix ...when you get it back just flash clk or magldr ..and then flash cwm partition it will work ..I think u are making a mistake while installing the clock work recovery mod. The cwm problem is not at all hardware related probalby you did something wrong. ;) good luck. But flash official stock Windows Rom using SD care method. :)

Edit :the jtag has to be done only when you Brick your device I.e you device doesn't turn on due to flashing a wrong Windows Rom (flashing Android doesn't pose any threat :P )
[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
What cwm problem? It works fine, I just wanted to know if I should go grab the newest offical rom off tmobs website and flash it before I send it back to them is all. Since I am not sure they will take it back with android on it.
[HD2 General] yma900:
thank you alot brother for helping me... well im sorry if i seem naggy but im gonna tell u how i installed the cwm so you can tell me whats wrong...

first of all i had a stock windows mobile rom from HTC website so the things i did were

1- task 29 and it was done perfectly

2- i installed the radio 2.15.50.14

3- i installed magldr v1.13, when i open it it gives me a fail to open an android nand but i havent install it yet so i think its not a problem.. i mentioned this because it never used to appear to me when i used to flash android roms before.

4- i go to usb in the magldr to install cwm and when its connected i install magldr by pressing on daf on the computer as an administrator and it gets installed perfectly.

then when i open AD recovery it stucks on the go go go screen and nothing opens..

i tried to install CLK one time and did the instructions but also cwm never opened.. so do u still think if i fix the screen issue then cwm will work?

i was thinking that the defect in openning cwm is because of a bios problem.. (( well i dont know if its called bios in the mobile but i mean what like the bios in the computer)) so thats why i thought about the JTAG.. but if u think that i will not benifit it then i wont do it and i'll only fix the screen issue..

btw i did a hard reset before i did the installation of the cwm...

sorry for making my reply long but i really would like u to know everything happenning because u seem as an expert that would be able to help me.. plus i really cant live without the android :P and i need to fix it ;)

thank you again brother

Now I bought samsung galaxy s and it cost me additional 130€.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uisgdlyast:
As eveyone knows you can't really install apps to the external SD card, just the internal sd card.

So then what is the use of the external sd card? to have our multimedia on it?

What I'm wondering is how far fetched it would be to have different operating systems installed to the external card so I dont have to waste my internal memory on the ubuntui hack? Would it be possible to actually boot up into these cards instead of the internal sdcard? Or somehow have windows on them like I saw people using debian (didnt read the full story, still getting ubuntu working)

I assume it will be easier when they figure out how to install apps on the external card.

EDIT: Have I missed something? Ive only been gone a few days. Can we now install apps to our external? Because all app2sd programs but them on my internal sd card.

The other cool thing I thought of is making a micro sd connector that conversts to usb with a modded back plate so you can hook up external usb drives... but thats a different post..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmboy5:
It is annoying that we can't use the Micro SD card for some things. Pretty much any app that lets you save to "SD card" ultimately go to the internal memory which is neither a SD card nor where I want it to go. Most apps provide no way for you to make it save to the actual Micro SD card. :(

Sorry but I'm not familiar the GT-i8000 stock loaded with a 6.5.3. ROM. Where is the data stored? When it's on the SD card, you might give it a try to readout the SD card in your PC.
