xperia's headaches...

well i've tried, as good a phone as it is, it's by far the weirdest and quite not amicable android ever made, bootloaders that are locked, recoveries impossible at times to either flash or push, .. I'm an avid android user and i rememeber many devices that needed only even a recovery apk, or one that you could just install even from the emulator..:)

Xperia play gives headaches, so anyways if anyone can read my log and help because i see nothing that i am doing wrong here. thanks :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
I dont know if anyone has tried it yet or not, but do not flash a custom rom via and update.zip....you will brick your phone and end up not even being able to use adb shell. So to reemphasize DO NOT FLASH AN UPDATE.ZIP TRYING TO GET A NEW ROM WITH LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Why can't we flash any ROM with locked bootloader and recovery? stock ROM's should still be flashable.
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
well i flashed the rom from the first post of this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336461, and now it will not boot into the system and i get the error that "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -". So then I tryed to fastboot flash the stock system image back on the phone, but you can't use fastboot if you bootloader is locked. So now I am downloading the stock .tft file to see if I can flash it in flashmode using flashtools (or do you have to have a god damned unlocked bootloader for that as well?).
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
That is because the author forgot ti put that file maybe?

Sent from my R800i - Darkforest ROM and Kernel
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
No I looked into the zip file, its in the updater script and it is located where it needs to be in the zip file (/system/bin/sh). Since it is the file it is I can not use adp shell to remount system as readwrite and push the file to the correct spot (that particular file is the android shell BTW), So I am screwed and now I have to use flash tools to flash back the stock tft file from verizon and start ALL Over
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
great!

*update, I extracted it to the adb path and ran it from there, now all is well, it works flawlessly, thanks for the no help, as anticipated and speculated gamers are all assholes, ;) I included often.
[Xperia Play Android Development] savage24x:
I can confirm it does not work on unlocked R800x's.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Jayzonl:
Directions in the OP worked out for me. Running 2.3.3 r800x uk rom...flashed via nandroid backup. Had to flash stock wifi modules to get wifi working, but so far everything is running smooth.
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
Not all gamers are assholes, maybe the ones YOU associate with are
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
So flashing the stock wifi modules got the wifi working...sweet I been waiting all day to get back home so I can flash them and see if it worked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DrReD:
wich roms can flash with locked bootloader¿¿
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
There is a nandroid backup of the generic uk rom for the r800x that you can restore using this cwm recovery. All you have to do is restore the backup and download/flash the stock wifi modules from the cdma doomlord kernel thread and you will have a 100% working custom rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
and yet that;'s what it took to get a reply.. kind of a point proven . thanks ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
What point did you prove? That you can get a reply to a flame? You new to the internet or something?
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Ironically you just did what you said in your own post.

Stop flaming though, or do it out of my view.

awsone thanks

this is something i have been wating so long, easy install and did my first nandroid backup:) on my rogers locked sexperia:D ready to experiment with falshing
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
You can not flash any roms or any kernels....and if you already have then you have figured this out as you will be bricked. All you can do to be running a new rom is restore the nandroid backup of the generic uk rom that is based on the verizon stock rom. After you restore the rom wipe user data, cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the stock wifi modules that can be found in doomlords cdma kernel thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
Lol nice.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Droid69:
I would also like to know this.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RozenTensai:
Didn't work on my R800i with 2.3.4 :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
You can NOT FLASH anything, follow my instructions above a be happy to have a new rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] ricosuavez35:
i dont want to flash other firmware roms but i think some tweeks should be possible ex installing bravia engine and if it fails to boot i can use the backup i did(nandroid ) to restore ,right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
As long as what you flash does not overwrite the system partition then yes you should be able to backup if a flash does not work

Edit

Why not just install the xperia tweaks apk I hsve it and love it
[Xperia Play Android Development] DrReD:
working fine on 2.3.4 r800i
[Xperia Play Android Development] CrimsonKnight13:
Works on my R800x (locked bootloader). Thanks! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ricosuavez35:
it worked

just installed the bravia and notification toggle mod with no problem

@droidjunkie i tried xperia tweek2 apk applied GPU and bravia engine tweek.

Bravia never showed up and it didnt copy the two be_files even if it reported it has done

anyway now its done... is there any other good tweeks i can flash?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
You can flash themes, also you can restore using a nandroid backup of the uk generic rom. after you restore you have to wipe data cache and dalvik then flash stock wifi modules
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
This sounds interesting. I'm eagerly waiting for Xperia play 800at first android phone for me. Got my first taste from my hp touchpad cm7. Long time iPhone user jumping ship anyone got a pointers for this Xperia noob?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
read, read, read, read, do research, read some more, etc etc etc.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
I've been reading and will continue. Thanks. Since this is an AT&T 800at is there a custom Rom for this device? I haven't seen anything yet.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
You can use gsm roms I think :)

[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
* edit Rooted it and it works as before
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
Oops sorry keiranftw I should have been more specific, restoring a nandroid of a gsm rom on a cdma phone will brick the phone (well not brick you just have to use flashtools to flash the stock verizon rom and start over again....this I have had to do TWICE)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
800at is gsm. So the world Roms will work. But will the 4g still work with these Roms?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
can i use RootXperia.zip method with this recovery for locked bootloaders?
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
You could but I suggest you use the superone click root then this
[Xperia Play Android Development] Gauravpreetsingh:
does it work with unlocked bootloaders
[Xperia Play Android Development] icet925:
Nice, this is nice.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jpzzle:
If your bootloader is unlocked that's the ultimate because you can do more, so yes , it does.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Hogwarts:
Flashing the UK firmware to locked bootloader R800X is the same concept behind the Droid X having a locked bootloader but still having custom roms.

The reason we dont have any custom roms or overclocking for this specifc device however. (or so I've been told) Is because the developers aren't Americans and use the R800I unbranded phones so they never spend any time working on helping the majority of users
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffesaurusrex:
I thought you needed a custom kernel to run CM7? Locked bootloader=no kernels, right?

I'd kill to have CM7 again.
[Xperia Play Android Development] jeffesaurusrex:
Got a link to the backup? I've never flashed somebody else's nandroid backup, where on the card does the recovery store the backups?
[Xperia Play Android Development] droidjunkie:
There is links to the backup in other threads, you can find it. Jyst stick it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups I think
[Xperia Play Android Development] 216Monster:
Man I just wanna help you out. The r800x was not overlooked or left behind by the developers. You should rephrase because I have gotten lots of help/support from the developers in the Xperia Play community. The bootloader on GSM xperia plays can be unlocked via SE's website and constantly has all current sources and new sources to work/build from. Now heres where Your problem comes into play, the CDMA r800x does not have a free easy way to unlock the bootloader and sources for r800x were only just released. So the developers did NOT have the right sources they needed to make reliable roms/kernels for us.

However, There are a handful of custom roms that will work on r800x and there is a CDMA r800x kernel (kernel is bootloader unlocked only of course)

At the end of the day, if your bootloader isn't unlocked, then plain and simply, your missing out !
[Xperia Play Android Development] redjupri:
thank you so much

finaly i have recovery mode in my 234 xplay

just place that file in system C n run it
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
What ROMS work on the locked bootloader version of the R800x with CWM installed to the \system
[Xperia Play Android Development] amansth:
R800x is hardly the majority.

There aren't many roms which work by cwm itself anyways, especially with a locked bootloader.

Guys I am having tons of problems with this. I know how to get adb shell running and all that but does anyone know how to make this work on the mac?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Android Development] panzerscope:
Hey guys. This looks interesting. My issue is that im waiting for the official release of ics. My concern is that after getting recovery, any attempt to do an OTA will brick my phone. Anyone know this to be a fact? Thanks
[Xperia Play Android Development] brochador:
help

edit: i plug it on another usb port.. solved..:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
Why would it brick your phone? You don't unlock your bootloader for this recovery so you would have nothing to worry about
[Xperia Play Android Development] dannejanne:
Wow this was fast and easy to install.
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Works on my Rogers r800a. Now I just need to find some nice stock-based roms. Would be sweet if there was a cm7 or miui ROM that uses stock kernel.

Or better yet, if someone discovered a way to use this for bootloader unlocking (it's a pipe dream, I know)

many thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Adam3Sixty:
Firstly, Thanx very much, this worked on my locked R800i :) so I am a happy bunny again now, I have my custom made theme back again.

Secondly, is there any way to update recovery to say DooMLorD's touch recovery? His latest kernels have the newest recovery in them and that are great, so I guess there must be a way.

Finally, some people in this thread nead to just READ everything before they post, I have seen answers posted over and over that wouldn't need to be if people just read the whole thread!! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
I think you could probably break down the installer and replace the CWM with doomlords, I haven't really thought about it but I can check into it whenever I get home
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nos0x:

CPU frequency prob ??

1. I like your .cmd methode, as it uses the original chargemon > so its universal (GB/ICS), but the Script seems to set CPU-Frequeny:

echo 1024000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 245000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

but I think ARC and ARC S have different max. frequency ??? ARC S has 1,4Ghz so this seems to be wrong ??

Updater: I tried it ... cPU still on 1,4 ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] gggg:
- is it a so called nandroide backup ?

- as this backup does not seem to backup all files ... is there another backup doing a real image or at least save all files ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] HwaA18:
it wont work!!

Please help!!!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Park82:
Hi guys is this compatible with the previous version of ICS (WT19i)?
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
Overclock (No That's a kernel thing and Kernel is only exchangeable with a locked bootloader)

Flash (Yes you can flash zips through CWM)

There is also an app that can do this for you on your phone and all you need is root.

It is called CWM AUTO INSTALLER (Now renamed to X-PARTS)

It can give you a recovery for any Xperia device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cyborg Slayer:
Been fooling with this for hours on my R800x and I can't get it to work.

It seems to install and I'm able to boot into recovery, but it doesn't create a clockworkmod directory on my sd card so I can put the rom I want to flash inside. Any idea?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I can't even get into recovery. I had it before, but I went back to the 2.3.3 ftf stock file, re-rooted with Zergrush, verified that I have root, etc. Everything appears to be the same, but I can't get into recovery now. What the....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brett10:
Try a program like Recurva I'm not sure if it works on flash memory though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SmallWalrus:
That is only applicable for magnetic disks. And also not if you deleted the whole damned partition, created it, and reformatted it again.

That alone is worse than writing a lot of files.

Consider your files lost. Next time back them up to somewhere.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Malbadawi:
i partioned it by cwm, and thought i had the wrong sd in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Aldis Wilson:
Hi Malbadawi,

I would like to suggest you that go for Stellar Data Recovery Services & Software.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ell3:
For my personal experience, when I had to recover files from hard disks or flash memory (usb key/SD), my best choice is GetDataBack (you will need FAT edition, not NTFS).

Just insert your sd in a card reader and follow the step by step tutorial. Do not attempt to reformat your card if your PC doesn't see that, the app will look into it at a lower level...

btw, a 100% recovery isn't always guaranteed, as you know, s@!# happens :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber_Dude:
Yes, GetDataBack is a great program, try it instead of Stellar Data Recovery. But reformat card as said. Works fine for me.

I'm just another "me too" from the crowd, but thanks for continuing this project.

I made the decision to pull the trigger on the Fire after seeing the efforts to port CM7 and ICS to the device, and especially with Transformer Prime availability up in the air.

I know JackpotClavin did most of the work so far, but it's great that others are continuing the work he started, now that he's moved on to ICS work.

Like all the others, I'm excited to be able to enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor when I unwrap my self-bought Fire in a week and a half.

Thanks again.
