This isn't a Samsung. There is no download mode, and no download mode screen. You need to hold the "back" button, then plug the phone in. The screen will be black, and the notification light in the power button will light up green. Follow the instructions in flash tool.

.62 is supposed to have some memory fixes. Personally I didn't see much of a difference. The AT&T version has had signal compatibility issues with certain a/i roms and basebands so if the current one is working well I'd leave it. Flashtool has an option to exclude baseband so you won't need to flash it separately.

Hey guys, I have a GSM Xperia Play that ran 2.3.4 out of the box, I bought it a month ago from Dicksmith Australia. Does anyone have the stock that came with this model? All the others I've tried are different to the stock it came with.

All the rtf files I download have bloatware apps installed
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
Every stock manufacturer ROM has them. The only time you don't get those bloatware apps is if you buy a nexus. You can uninstall them with titanium after rooting.

There's a link to a bloatware removal script on the homepage of XDA, if you're unhappy with getting all the bloatware all the time.
[Xperia Play Android Development] rbgCODE:
Thats not entirely true, there are scripts as well as software you can use to uninstall bloatware, like I use Absolute System Tools and it works great!

It doesn't matter which ftf you flash there will still be bloatware which will have to be removed afterwards ALL sony ftf's have bloatware for every region

A 2.3.4 Verizon Ftf cannot be made at this time because Sony has not put 2.3.4 on SEUS for the R800x yet.

hi,

i have tried to use falshtool with

R800i 4.0.2.A.0.58 Generic Hong Kong

4.0.2.A.0.62

and the latest flash tool is not able to open the images and to flahs them it don't find any sin models in the ftf files..

does anyone see the same issue ?

.62 for r800i flashes just fine though, but not .42 for r800a.
[Xperia Play Android Development] lynxdog:
Easy, use 7zip to unpack all the files in the .FTF

delete the file called "R800a_2.3.4_North America Generic" This seems to be the problem.

re-zip all files into one zip file called "anything you want" rename the .zip to .ftf

then you can flash...... just did it with mine...
[Xperia Play Android Development] AthrunIJ:
tried ur method but still my R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic uk now cant even be detected.

EDIT: When trying your method, i found out that. Open the ftf file using 7zip (not extracting it out then zip it back) then delete the R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic uk. Then the content list can be seen. but i dare not to flash it as i'm scared. anybody can hlp me test it out whether it work?

[Xperia Play Android Development] lynxdog:
It does flash and it is safe. Did it last night on my R800a. :-)

I've tried all types of roms, coming from an New Zealand R800a Xperia Play, i wanted to muck around with it.

Flashed GB Roms, ICS Roms and the likes.... just wanted to go back to my original firmware (WHICH NO ONE HAS).

All working well. No FC's Battery is fine Everything works.
[Xperia Play Android Development] captain67:
It's pretty much impossible to hard brick unless you fry your cpu from overclocking too much, or throw the phone into a wall.

If you're really that scared, use the North America version. There isn't really much of a difference.

The one giving you problems wasn't out of my own collection, right? I may have to double-check other peoples files from now on..

For whatever reason, some morons in France are using a hash code generator to find files, and are reporting them for DMCA infringement. I received a take down notice, listing all the files matching the code, through someone called "leakID". Most of the files have nothing to do with each other. Apparently the zip file that I MADE MYSELF matches this code. I'm gonna be contacting mediafire about this.

Some of the files listed were movies, some were anime episodes.. what in the hell does that have to do with XPlay firmware? The people making the claim said they represent a media corporation who owns the works listed. I CALL BULL****! Considering the firmware is neither a movie, nor a music file.

Sad to hear about that captain. The internet which used to be free for all to share stuffs and information has now becoming a 'controlled' medium controlled by those money making bigshots. I reckon in the near future perhaps someone will find a way to create something "like the internet" but in a completely new level.. just like when the world was shocked when the "internet" was first created from non-existence. It's a dream, but hey those dreams back in the 60 -70's has becoming a reality nowdays..

Anyway I hope that you sort out your false infringement claims soon. My blog too was taken down quite some time ago saying that I posted some hacked or infringement media and was frozen for quite some time. I contacted wordpress and after several days they responded back by saying "sorry, it was a mistake". :eek: I know the hosting companies are scared **** too nowdays after seeing the fate of megaupload.. but ah, that's another story.

Back to topic!

What is the latest firmware I can use for my R800i that is rootable?

I have a locked bootloader and intend for it to stay that way. I've seen OC'ed unit with different kernels but it's just not worth it for me to lose my warranty.

Additional note >> Actually I screwed up my Xplay after I flashed some custom ICS ROM (.zip via CWM) and made it unbootable. I then grabbed the .62 firmware and flash it. After realizing I can't root to enter CWM for a nandroid restore, I went back to .36 and got root and CWM. However, after my nandroid restore (NXT custom ROM) I found out that camera FC, I reflashed zip, still camera FC. I switched to another custom ROM that was running fine before (.zip via CWM again), and camera FC! Perhaps it's because of my firmware? So any additional tips in regards to this would be good. But to make it simple "What is the latest firmware I can use for my R800i that is rootable?"

Thanks :D

what baseband is it for Australia?
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Doesn't matter. Telstra is R800a (for 3G/NextG) but flashing R800i baseband works great. I'm running Baseband 77 now and it works great. See below.

I wish I could find a stock Telstra FTF though so I can rip some Telstra apps out of it :(

Guys and OP, since I am developing MIUI for the Xperia 2011 range I am slowly uploading all FTF files to my Mediafire folder. I am a Pro user so links will never go dead. But I only upload the latest FTF files. See my folder here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e1mokgdgad5dh

Currently for Xperia Play I have:

R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf

- Still uploading, will be done in a few hours. For R800a or R800i or R800at. The only difference with this and original is that it's for my custom MIUI ROM/kernel, it has an extra vendor SIN from phoenix which "unlocks" about ~133MB of internal data so custom kernels can use more partition space. It will have no difference whatsoever unless you use a special kernel with "Vendor Unlock Required" (currently my MIUI kernel only, soon a LuPuS version will)

R800i_77_baseband.ftf

- This is a NEW Baseband for the Play. It is actually for the Xperia Neo L, but the Neo L is 100% identical to our Play - just without a gamepad. I verify that it works 100% on R800a and seems to be better for ICS ROM's - especially my semi-official MIUI ROM.

R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf

- Still uploading, but should be there within 10-20 minutes of making this post. The latest known CDMA ROM+baseband for R800x users.

Enjoy!

I accidentally installed the FTF for verizon 2.3.4 with turbo kernel. It worked fine, other than the usual verizon 2.3.4 bs, and I was able to move it to the 4th slot as a backup. Well, today I decided to correct this mistake and flash 2.3.3. Problem was, I accidentally flashed 2.3.2, which didn't have any face buttons working. So I flashed over it with the 2.3.3. Booted it, and everything seems fine, except that I can't get my WiFi to connect. It cycles on obtaining IP address. Has anyone else experienced this issue with Turbo kernel and stock 2.3.3? It worked fine on 2.3.4. I'm also having trouble with the camera UI flickering and disappearing from screen. The touch targets are still there even though there's no on screen display.

For clarity, I used flahstool 0.8, and excluded kernel and baseband when flashing, since I have the baseband from the 2.3.4 ftf installed previously for CM9/10 compatibility

EDIT: Just checked my other roms and they aren't connecting to WiFi either, so I guess this question is in the wrong place. A point in the right direction would be very helpful, though.

EDIT2: Nope, I was right the first time. Only the 2.3.3 FTF rom slot is having problems with wifi. All my other roms, including another stock based GB rom can connect to wifi ok.
