Nein Hero,save ME!!! :( :( :(

Afff...

Ok.Try to walk through me on how to Add Devices so X10 flashT00L would work,i still think it doesnt register it correctly.

i Go open the FlashTool folder,see devices...make a folder xPERia Play...then what?
[Xperia Play Android Development] WelshPaul:
Use FlashTool version 0.2.9.1 Beta

No need to add any devices, just flash it is compatible with the play.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
I have noticed i now have over 230MB free on phone out of 400MB :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Man THANK YOU! I'm gonna SO donate to you after i add funds to my account in September :)

Oki i flashed the 4.0.A.2 ,do i use AUTOROOT now yes?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
That will be the Dalvik Cache eating your internal storage :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
Wow, 3120 downloads already :eek:

[Xperia Play Android Development] Jahy420:

any root for bootloader locked??
[Xperia Play Android Development] HagX:
Hi ,

I still dont know how to root this Firmware...

I´ve flashed the new firmware with flashtool, then i flashed Doomlords autoroot Kernel via Fastboot.

Can someone help me?
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
this error mean that incorrect loader.sin was sent to the S1 bootloader which basically rejected it...

just follow the instructions here:
[Xperia Play Android Development] HagX:
Thanks for your response,

i´ve done it like this, the new bootlogo flashed a few seconds and then i got a black screeen.

When I turn on my device there is still no superuser.:(

what am i doing wrong?
[Xperia Play Android Development] excession3105:
Well, between this and Doomlord's kernel, my Play is running like an absolute dream. Cleared out the crud with Titanium, ramped up the CPU (wimping out at 1516MHz), nandroid backed up. Loving it! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] WelshPaul:
Had the same thing, flash the boot.img again using fastboot then you get the bootlogo which changes to a blank screen just leave it alone for five minutes then remove the battery and count to 30 seconds then put the battery back in and boot phone.

You will have root.
[Xperia Play Android Development] -Sumsy-:
For anyone who struggerling i had have this firmware on before and i replaced it again and installed the kernel superuser never came up tried what the above user did i held the volume up key when splash screen came on

and continusly pressed it till screen went blank took battery out waited 30 secs and bootedback up and it worked for me
[Xperia Play Android Development] subcu1ture:
Sony Ericsson in my region said that this is now being bundled with 2.3.4 so I have to wait for the September release >_<

Makes me wonder why they are releasing it to everyone else not bundled.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netorino:
At least they tell you stuff. Last week I called and asked for the Xperia Neo and they said "we don't have it", it was released like 3 days ago. Support people in my carrier don't even know what's coming tomorrow >_>

Edit: Just realized you said Sony Ericsson, I'm gonna try and post on their facebook page, they rarely answer to people's question anyway lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] subcu1ture:
Ha they tend to answer most questions in my country. They rock and the Sony Style store twitter peeps are really good too.

I think because of their Mission of becoming the highest sellers of android phones in Asia/Pacific they have really opened up and are trying to keep people clued in on the brand.

Even if I ask them something they don't know they will go through the whole chain to get answers.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
You're lucky folks. SonyEricsson Spain doesn't EVER answer any tweet of mine.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Roshi69:
less. i only have 124MB left now :( all apps are on SD and have moved dalvik to SD
[Xperia Play Android Development] tech247:
would it be crazy to try and flash this to a R800x on Verizon if I don't use my phone radios just use it on wifi? If I did should I just try flashing system and kernel or the whole firmware? also what should I do to make sure I can return to a usable firmware if all goes bad?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
How have you moved the dalvik cache to the SD Card when we have no kernel with init.d script support?? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
correct me if im wrong, but does the radio not contol the wifi too? :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] tech247:
well we are able to use FrAsErTaG's FTS rom which was made for your play and it has wifi and 3g working with Dooms kernel for the r800x so I think WiFi should work
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Wifi is a different separate module.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tech247:
do you think I would be able to ftf back to stock?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zbrochu:
Do I need unlocked bootloader for flash this generic rom?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Yes to both of you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
No you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash this .ftf file. As stated by thomassafca it's to be flashed with

flashtool

wich can be be done with a locked bootloader. I've flashed with flashtool several times before unlocking my bl.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
Will this ever come to ota? I only ask cause I seen that the arc just got their ota update for the .368
[Xperia Play Android Development] yourmajesty90:
Thank you thomassafca and doomlord for the FW and the autoroot, respectively. Had a bit of a panic with the auto-root but then flashed DooMlord kernel and the Play was rooted.

Thanks, again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] razor813:
hey guys i just flashed this firmware, however i found out that i cannot find google apps such as maps and navigation in android market, how can i fix this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] GetPatriotized:
Does this work on Rogers?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Enter the Market, hit the menu key and choose My Apps and you should see Maps at the top of the list. Click on it to download and boom, done.

And yes, flashing this ROM does work on Rogers.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hurikan23:
SI Number?

What the SI number this ROM?
[Xperia Play Android Development] razor813:
hello thx for the reply, however i could not find anything in my downloads or my apps in market. I had this trouble before, i think it has something to do with branded firmware (htc magic with vodafone firmware couldnot find maps), do you think so?

Or do i need to perform the unlocking bootloader?

thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] bearusa:
Am i correct in saying that i can flash the system and kernal with flashtool with a locked bootloader. Im still carrier locked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] siddharthsai:
You can only flash the system.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
how can i install this on r800x vzw, or is that possible?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
just flashed this and lost EVERYTHING off my phone :( now i want to cry!! really i do!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
You pressed wipe user data, didn't read how to safely flash a ROM and didn't back up incase something went wrong.

Too late, rebuild everything again. Should've read more...
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
May your tears of impotence make you stronger and wiser, showing you that, next time, you have to back things up first before flashing :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Didnt see anything to NOT wipe suer date, oh well, i failed!! lol

Luckily I had most things backed up using Titanium, so i have managed to get most things back, and i had an older back-up of my contacts, but still some of them were lost, I'm actually quite thankful for losing everything, it means i can start nice and fresh, and only have the things i REALLY want on it!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
As long as you backed it up, it's not a problem. Should've edited the post earlier xD
[Xperia Play Android Development] myprelude:
I installed it on my r800x and everything worked beside's the radio
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
so if it works but the radio doesn't work does that mean you get 3g data but not calling. also please post exact steps as to how you did it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
i am having a similar problem but how do i get it to work?

ok so i extracted system.sin from the ftf file converted it to .img format with sin2img, then flashed it with fastboot using the command "fastboot.exe flash system system.img" it said everything was fine. then i tried to boot and it went all the way to the end of the boot anim, then didn't do anything (at this time i was using stock kernel). so i flashed doomlords kernel using the command "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img" and rebooted and it boots but after booting i get to an empty page (with no lockscreen) and none of the buttons work, i can bring down the status bar (which says there is no network available) but nothing else works. any ideas?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
oh well it's too much effort so i reinstalled cm7.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Larsiano:
I have done it exactly as you said, but I still got no root….

Can someone maybe apply the ordinary way to root the phone? This auto-root does definitely not work for me…

I have even reflashed the newest Overclocking Kernel of Doomlord, and it worked, but without root of course, I’m simply unable to use it...
[Xperia Play Android Development] thomassafca:
If you flashed Doomlords Kernel, you could also use Super One Click to root ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Larsiano:
yeah...right...already forgotten that option ^^

THX!
[Xperia Play Android Development] myprelude:
I extracted the system.sin and fastboot flash the system.sin
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
did you have the lockscreen cuz when i extracted it then converted it to .img and flashed it it booted and had no lockscreen, just wallpaper and status bar and none of the buttons worked.

what kernel did you use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] myprelude:
everything is there besides the network. I flashed frasertag's system.img first then i flashed the system.sin from this ftf. i was also using doom's kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
how long did it take to boot, cuz mines taking a while?
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
ok i did things in this order

1. did full stock restore from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201725 with flashtool

2. flashed doomlords boot.img with the command "flashtool.exe flash boot boot.img"

3. flashed frasertag's system.img with the command "flashtool.exe flash system system.img"

4. flashed the system.sin from this thread with the command "flashtool.exe flash system system.sin"

5. unplugged usb, then turned on phone and instead of a homescreen i get an empty page with wallpaper and status bar and i can do nothing except for bring down the status bar (which says could not find network {didn't really want it}) and turn off the screen, none of the buttons work (not even the menu button :( ) but if i touch the notification that says "could not find network" it brings me to the 3g data settings, but pressing back does nothing :( , and the only thing i can do is press home and go back to the screen i started out with. any ideas?

EDIT: did you do a factory reset before flashing system.sin? cuz thats what i did
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
WOOT!!!!!!!

i restored one of my nandroid backups (after removing the system.img) and it worked. I'm now running this rom. AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] myprelude:
Is everything working on the Rom???
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
btw everyone who wants a one click root, i made this on my phone with root toolbox pro, and after installing this rom i just flashed it with recovery, and it worked perfectly.

SU-Update.zip

ALWAYS do a NANDROID backup before flashing ANYTHING. you have been warned!
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
EVERYTHING except the network. that means no phone, sms, or 3g data. but wifi works perfectly! :D

basically it's a game system. works for me :D

EDIT: here's a flashable mod for battery percent. Battery Percent.zip this ONLY works with the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk from THIS ROM ONLY. if anyone wants this mod for their phone just go here UOT Kitchen you MUST upload YOUR systemui.apk AND framework-res.apk from your phone.

Can I flash this on a Rogers r800a? Any problems?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thanksgiving60:
just flashed this rom without a hitch

this is great

thank you
[Xperia Play Android Development] bearusa:
flashed this about 2hours ago looks fantastic but' it keeps saying failed to move app to sdcard not enough storage space,

I have over 4gb worth of free space on my SD card, weird,, I have took a backup up of this rom but have restored back to. 145

another weird thing the new android experia splash screen now appears at boot of .145 since restore from recovery.

Edit: wiped user data formated sd card done full recovery from my back up root after recovery of sd card from backup. But this rom is still buggy, anyone else had issues with this rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
bumpidy bump
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Huh... Everything works for me...
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
i never said anything didn't work, i was just mentioning that if anyone wanted battery percent on their battery icon that they could flash that file and it would change their battery icon (on this rom only) to show the percentage of the battery level, and that if they wanted to make a custom theme to go to the uot kitchen and make their theme (and to do so they need to upload a copy of their systemui.apk and framework-res.apk because each apk is unique to each rom)
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
I just noticed something. I was playing with the build.prop on this rom.

##### Final patch of properties #####

ro.build.product=R800i

ro.build.description=R800i-user 2.3.3 4.0.A.2.368 j_b_3w test-keys

Why does it carry the test-keys tag and not the release-keys one :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] loismustdie555:
i'm not an expert but would we gain any sort of new hacking capabilities if we were to add the release-keys tag?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
No not really :p
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
I'm sorry if I'm sounding annoying but no answered me the first time.

Can I flash this on my r800a rogers Xperia Play? Are there any problems if I flash it?

Thank you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
Yea man you can flash onto your phone I've got the same model and I flashed it no problem
[Xperia Play Android Development] bearusa:
Dont know if it makes a difference but racecarbmw has a r800a in your sig it says r800i, how have you the same model. I think he needs clarification if he can flash it to his r800a, and if there will be any ill effect, personally i dont know the difference between the r800i and r800a, but i,d seek further advice before flashing anything..

[Xperia Play Android Development] TSBroich:
MD5 mismatch error during Nandroid restore?

I have done everything that you have posted so far. When I did my Nandroid backup right after a factory restore of my R800x, I removed the system.img from the backup folder on my SD Card just as you did.

After all of the flashing, I got the new ROM loaded, but couldn't do anything but pull the notification bar done. So I went back into the recovery, and like you did, tried to restore the Nandroid backup after removing the system.img file. I got a MD5 mismatch error.

How did you get past this?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TSBroich:
Okay I managed to override that MD5 mismatch error, and I restored the nandroid backup after removing the system.img file from the backup, so it just skipped it during the restoration process.

I booted the phone up, and it still won't let me do anything but pull the notification bar down. Could I get a little help from you?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AwesomeAHlee:
if i flash this to my phone would i lose the games like crash bandicoot?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
ya...but the save data file is saved to the SDCard :)

Do a Backup :)

Hi Guys

I installed and tested

[ROM]R800i 4.0.A.2.368 UK uploaded by thomassafca

It has the battery drain issue documented by siddharthsai

i've gone back to

R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145 - Generic UK Firmware

and thers NO battery drain,

i dont wanna relock my bootloader and try OTA 4.0.A.2.368

to risky rather hold out,

I dont want to go to the new Nordic firmware either as i need psxperia to work

my question

please could someone upload a ftf of R800i 4.0.A.2.368 WITHOUT the battery drain

i belive the OTA of this firmware was different to the pc companion one and it does not have the battery drain.

p.s one solution to the battery drain was to manually select your network.

i cant do that either :(, orange u.k does not support this feature signal cuts out, xperia must always be on automatic.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lstreet:
hey fella I have flashed the nordic firmware and also have noticable battery drain issues, and thats with all bloatware reoved , minimal apps (5apps, no task killers) installed, wifi + data off, it last about one day, it used to last about 4-5 days in standby with this setup, dont no whats the cause , but if you do find out about this OTA update resolving it let us know ! maybe ICS 4.0 will adress it (sigh) im always waiting for some friggin issue to be fixed

Hello all,

I need a Genius to help!

I flash wrong ROM to my Galaxy S 4GS T959V, I think I flash Galaxy S 9000 ROM, and I think I destroy the boot loader.

The status of the phone is:

its not display a thing! nada blank screen!

Even if I take the battery out and put it back with volume up and down pushed the screen not blink!

In all the cases above if I connect the USB cable the computer does not make a sound of device connected, like nothing as connected to the computer

Can anybody know what to do in this case?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Sounds like a hard brick. Mine hard bricked recently, time to get a replacement unless you got a riff box, or find someone who does.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Raver posted a thread in the dev section on a possible way to fix a hard brick. Check that out and see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HQwarp:
warranty?

Dose any one claim warranty because flashing wrong ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Once you root your phone you void the warrenty
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HQwarp:
but how can they know? the phone is hard brick!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Trust me. They know.

What i did was. Keep repeating the process

1. take out battery

2. plug phone in computer

3. put in battery while holding up+down volume buttons

4. if you cant get into download mode, repeat process.

*Take out usb cable, take out batery and start over. It eventually worked for me. Took like 40 tries.

Idk. It miggt just be me, but this is how i did it and i saved my phone. P.s. Make sure you have life left in your battery!
