Just to add, I have flashed the Docomo prerooted zip just to test it and then flashed via flashtool the .79 baseband only and it works fine with no issues so far. Wifi and radio works.

Edit - Dont know what is wrong with the Docomo FTF but flashtool will not recognize it, dont know if its a matter of it not being reconstructed from Sony's Update software correctly or what.... but there is the prerooted zip. Perhaps someone will want to look at the Docomo FTF itself and see why Flashtool wont recognize it, it just plain doesnt see it in the list of FTF files to select to flash.

After posting a link for all my FTF files I posted on my DevHost account, only to recently discover that DevHost deleted about 90+% of all my files without informing me of which I was super pissed about, I located all FTF files for the Xperia PLAY and downloaded them and backed them up to a secure location.

With that I have uploaded all these FTF files to my pogoplug account where I will have complete control and have made a link for everyone to access the FTF files as a separate location. Please see below:

If for some reason this link should ever stop functioning someone please let me know immediately, thank you.

Edit

- With that in mind I will be purchasing another Xperia PLAY within the month, although I moved onto a Nexus 5 about 18 months ago I never stopped visiting this forum. Hope to see ya'll around the xperia play stomping ground!

Edit 2

- Not sure if this is still used for the PLAY, this is the recoveryPLAY.img used to boot into this file at which point you would then flash recovery files:

http://ppl.ug/KfUOFPUGZ-Q/

Command: fastboot flash boot recoveryplay.img

EDIT 3

- Anyone who wished to download these files and post a separate download link for posterity purposes for the PLAY is more then welcome, the more solid locations that we can share links to the better chance we will have of no files disappearing, resulting with all users having access to these files.

For those interested I located the Xperia PLAY hardware schematic:

Hey sorry if I've posted this in the wrong area . But it is a question. Has anyone used the free yellow triangle removal tool with success?

I have the triangle but have read the warning that comes with it and its slightly putting me off using it after all I don't want a £500 paper weight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
I've used it several times zero problems.

That's not a guarantee though! I suppose there is an element of risk.

If you're not happy using the app get yourself a jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapmasterUk:
I bought a jig of tbay but it only drop the phone into recovery mode .. does not remove the counter or the triangle ... i was told the jig only works on older kernals.

Ive got the latest CWM installed dont know how true that advice was but it wouldnt work hence me asking if anyone had used the removal tool .,

Thanks for the relpy though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
Yeah you need an older boot loader for the jig. Check intratechs thread in original android development.

But seriously the app has worked flawlessly for me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sepharite:
Are you talking about the yellow warning triangle when i9100 boots up?

I have that too, and always thought it was normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
A USB Jig shouldn't be forcing your phone into recovery mode, it should force your phone into download mode. Anyway, it won't reset your flash counter because you probably have a new bootloader. I had a new bootloader and had to flash an old bootloader through Odin in order to reset the flash counter.

[Kindle Fire General] KennyCap:
I missed it I believe and just "fastboot reboot"

after installing twrp recovery in th 6.3 root by jcase.

Now I'm stuck at the yellow fire and adb does not recognize my device any more and fastboot says waiting for device.

Did leaving this line out brick it? I got too excited after seeing the recovery screen I must have missed the line. I'm scared to do anything. Please help.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
connect it and hit normal boot in kfu and when it says waiting for device turn the kindle off by holding the power button then turn it right back on and it will connect during boot
[Kindle Fire General] KennyCap:
KFU utility? or unbrick? I tried to use the utility to root option 2 but I believe I had the path wrong. I had adb set up correctly cuz it recognized my device and I made it all the way to flashing the recovery img.

I'm not that command line savy any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
Oh I thought you had fff and twrp installed already where are you in the process and what's going wrong
[Kindle Fire General] KennyCap:
i was rooting using the 6.3 method I made it through the first set of command lines. I installed the twrp.img. i saw it on my kf's screen. I got excited cuz I've been at it for a few hours typed fastboot reboot without the idme oem 500 something(sorry from memory I know thats not right) So the device rebooted into fast boot(yellow triangle with fire) and immediately tried to download drivers as the device was no longer recognized by fastboot(waiting for device) or adb (daemon started but no connected device) although after reinstalling the driver through kfu its now recognized in fastboot but not kfu. i think it has something to do with putting kfu in platform tools. So I know I'm not bricked just not sure where to start I'm gonna try the command line I believe I missed or a couple right before it.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
OK cool so you have twrp and fff flashed.... do like I said before hook it up in kf utility hit the number for normal boot and it will say waiting for device.. turn your kindle off by long pressing the power button and then turn it back on and it will connect and switch to normal boot wile the kindle is turning on

if our using just adb in a command promp type this

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
[Kindle Fire General] KennyCap:
Thanks for the advice. The problem was I had the wrong path for kfu. I have rooted an Evo an epic and my transformer all fairly easy. That actually took me around 4 hours. I really should use adb more. That was my sister's KF I was rooting. I couldn't stand to see her using it stock like that. I got Hell Fire up and running. Thanks for trying to help.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] JohnnyDanger:
Hello all. I was wondering if I were to install a A500 rom on my A100, would I be able to use a XBOX 360 controller on it? Of course I would need an adapter. Does anyone know this?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
we still do not have a usb host enabled kernal so not at this time
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks for the reply. So is it technically possible once there is a usb host enabled kernel?

I really hope so.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
From what little i know of USB host mode I beleave it is possible in ICS devices with usb game controllers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Land Master:
I don't think anyone knows for sure. I believe I read somewhere that the Hardware (on the board internally) was not wired to support it. If that is the case nothing done to the Kernel will enable it without opening up the device and performing a hardware mod. I could have been reading this about another device but I'm pretty sure it was the A100.

Bottom line is we will just have to wait and see.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] McPlot:
I know for sure. No matter how it is rooted, no matter the kernal, no matter the ROM, adapter or not,it will not work. The USB port in the Acer A100 is not powered. It is set to be connected to something with power. Not to provide it. In order to connect a game controller USB to a device the USB port powers the controller. So it is a hardware issue, no ROM or Kernal can fix it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DJ_SpaRky:
Well, I assumed that you are talk about the wireless ones and thus, here is my info for you: Xbox 360 Controller are not Bluetooth, but both the PS3 and Wii controllers are and have apps to support them for Android.

Good luck with it, I'm off to try a Wiimote on my A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] southbird:
Power is one problem, but I think the bigger issue is that the port simply doesn't have a hosting mode. (Correct me if I'm wrong!) If it was simply power you should be able to run an external powered hub and get devices to work.

But I know that there's an internal USB bus on the board (courtesy of the NVIDIA chipset I think) that's being used for some components, e.g. the GPS (dmesg shows the kernel loading the pl2303 serial driver and hooking it up on USB.) That would mean to me there's a possibility of tapping into the board to hook into the USB bus, but that's beyond my skill level. A macro model of the motherboard in the service manual does show USB hosting available on the NVIDIA chip.

To the original topic: XBox 360 controllers require a relative lot of amperage to run; it probably wouldn't work on a little device like Acer even if it did power its port. (We could expect something in the ballpark of 250ma max in this mythical setup.) Bluetooth does work and works great; I have an iControlPad which works well and is a blast.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
As for the 360 controller power, using a wireless unit with the charger cable allows it to be used as a USB version controller, this should alleviate the power requirements for the controller to 0, while allowing it be used as a wired controller. But again, we need USB host, which we don't seem to have yet, or ever. Or a wired controller with a powered hub, but only if it offers protection from the host port being charged, I seriously doubt the tab itself can protect itself from this as it was never meant to have something like that on it, and may just take whatever voltage goes into it. Same issue I've seen on another tab..maybe the nook, maybe the kindle, I've had both and I forget which is which sometimes.

Then again, the wireless with the USB attachment may try to draw power (as it is the charger) and work opposite of how I think, and of course not work as it'll try to draw power through the port for charging.

I've noticed a small battery decrease as well from switching from GB. I had to underclock Darkforest to get the same amount.

Still great tho. Just a little slow.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I've only tried regular beta and Darkforest, but I did try 3 different kernels. I found the Darkforest kernel had better battery life than the ICS doomkernel, but worse than advanced stock (when they haven't been tweaked)

The difference in battery life for me between ICS and gingerbread is immense. And as you can see in the Darkforest thread, I had severe graphic errors, lockups.. I thought maybe my hardware was screwed but;

Went to jokawild with doomkernel 11 and all the glitches went away. And my battery life is 2x longer at LEAST. Hour and a half of use took me down to 60%. On ICS the same amount of time killed the battery completely. And I haven't even finished tweaking this gingerbread yet..

Also, ICS was laggy. Constant slight lag, occasional large spikes. Gingerbread when configured right is really fast. If you mostly want ICS for the way it looks and not features, get an ICS theme and stick with gingerbread. The new features, especially changes to system menus and browser, and gapps were great, but simply not worth it IMO.

As time goes on and things speed up, I'm sure it'll become more worthwhile, but not right now
