[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
dude, you`re realy the best. THANK YOU! :D

ok, problem:

I flashed the boot.img, and plugged off the usb, now I`m trying to power on my device, and it does nothing! did I bricked it? :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Oooook. Exactly how did you flash it?

You should power down your PLAY and then connect USB cable while pressing down search button. Notification led should turn blue. Then you should type

fastboot devices

If you got anything then your PLAY was ready to flash, if not then it wasn't.

Then you should type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If it said "Flash operation complete", and more important "OKAY", then you should

fastboot reboot

If you did anything diferent than this, then is highly probable that you screw your PLAY. If you did all right and yet happens what you describe, try connecting your play in fastboot mode, if notification led don't turn on or turn blue, I belive your PLAY is bricked... a common risk when you mess when your phone.

Now, there is a small chance to save your phone and is using flashtool and a FTF file or a .sin file (in your case, kernel.sin). But if that's the case, I'm afraid I can't be of help anymore. I never brick any phone or device I flash or tamper with, so I'll pass the relay to someone else.

Try what I wrote and let's hope your phone is not bricked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
just reboot the phone. when you see the kernel logo doomlords or wedgess kernel logo ( hit back button continuously) if cm kernel( hit Vol down button continuously) until you feel a vibrate & a blue led on power button. that will get you into recovery to flash the rom.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
I must have misread it then... I was under the impression that it was stuck on boot logo. most people that just get into flashing think that its bricked because the kernel loads but don't try to go into recovery... so thats why I suggested it. my bad yo

HELLO?! ANYONE HERE?! I NEED HELP!! PLEASE!! :crying:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
My friend I think it's time for you to start asking for help in DoomKernel thread, after all, it was flashing DoomKernel when problem started.

If you can't get help there, your last resource it's call your carrier and tell them that an OTA update damage your phone. Don't say anything about unlocked bootloader, flashing kernel, custom rom. JUST say that an OTA update damage your phone.

In 9 of every 10 cases, carrier will take your phone and give you a new one, or will repair yours for free.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm273:
you can try this-

run flashtool

click on flash, choose flashmode

then select FW ( before then download stock FTF, and put in firmware folder)

start ...

follow onscreen instruction and flash start automaticly...

i think, if xperia can boot (or any signal of life), than can be repaired...

maybe you have bad drivers etc, but phone can be repaired

PS: Fastboot command - fastboot reboot - this cant brick your device, im never use this, and no problems...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Since im a cm9.1 user and i find it awesome, can i know why u decided to go back to stock rom?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well can you get a green led when you hold back and plug in the USB cable
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
I think he did it by one of two reasons:

1. CM9 is slow, or

2. CM9 don't have touchpad on commercial games like Dead Trigger.

These two little problems make want to go back to stock and debloat it. Fortunately i found DiXperia 2. Yeah, I miss some things implemented in CyanogenMod, but hey, you can't have it all, right?.

Problem is, he didn't

fastboot reboot

instead he unplug USB cable after flashing kernel. Can a PLAY be bricked this way???
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm273:
yeah, when i flashing kernels i do same thing

when CMD /fastboot/ says OKAY finished, i unplug usb cable a run the phone...

this cant do something bad...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
1. Well, compared to best GB roms (like NXT ROM) yes it is a little slow, although still fast as stock GB. Compared to other ICS, it's the fastest ICS available i guess. A lighting compared to heavy markphyton rom.

2. Dead Trigger and other commercial games has touchpad with Farenheit fix. Let's just say 95% of popular games run like on GB . Where have u been for the past 3 months? lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
yea, well, so why my phone cant turn on?

and, everyone who posts here, please read previously comments, because, as I already wrote, I tried to pluggin and use flashtool

or something like it, but the flashtool isnt even recveptive the device.

and I tried to get it into flashmode/fastboot mode, but it cant do it either.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
1. Well yes, CM9 it's blazing fast compared to stock. I could not say anything about other ICS roms because I didn't know about them.

2. This makes me angry. When you go to offcial site and enter their forums everybody says: there is no touchpad support in CM9; and when you ask about it in CM7 they say: everything it's fine in CM7. I try both and I can say, none of them has native touchpad support and in the contrary they both has the circle button problem. Now you tell me here that there is a fix for touchpad in CM9... why can't they say that in their forums???. Anyway, CM it's not a gaming rom.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
ok! well now I tried to turn it on and the led is flashing red. does it means I need to charge and it will work?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
I suggest you to read CM9.1 official thread.

I abandoned a long time ago official forum, since nobody is in there...

To sum up: CM7.2 it pretty useless for Xperia Play users since Farenheit fix use ICS files and so can't be used. And if u wanto to stay on GB, might as well install NXT Rom.

Farenheit fix makes almost perfect ICS for Xperia Play, you should try it. PLus it gives you 415 mb of free internal memory. Why don't you try it? I think is the best ICS rom and i don't understand why Markphyton is so famous, it's heavy, slow and full of bugs, don't even waste you r time on try it...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Yea the battery is dead but I don't think charging it Will fix the phone itself
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
so..? what will?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well ftf or a recovery
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
what?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
YechiamTK what happens when you connect USB cable as you press back button (flash mode).

Does the led turn green?.

Note this is NOT fastboot (fastboot is with search button).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Restore using a .ftf or try and install a recovery
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
Told u I already tried it, nothing happens. And crazymonkey05, have u followed what I said recently, or u just saw the first thread and u comment? If so, see the last comments to understand.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Nope, I ask you before if you could enter fastboot mode, now I'm asking for flash mode.

Just to be completely sure, if you remove your battery and put it back after a minute, does the phone vibrate when you try to turn it on?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
1. You or somebody else already asked it, and I said I tried it already.

2. Yes
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Wait, your PLAY still vibrates when you turn it on?

I don't think a bricked phone vibrate on power on, maybe there is still hope...

Let's recap.

You enter fastboot, flash DoomKernel v14, instead of "fastboot reboot" you just unplug USB cable, now your phone doesn't turn on.

When you try to turn on your phone it does vibrate?: YES.

With your phone powered down, when you connect USB cable as you press search button, does the led turn blue?: NO

With your phone powered down, when you connect USB cable as you press back button, does the led turn green?: NO

Did you try flastool?: DOES NOT RECOGNIZE DEVICE.

Did you install flastool drivers?: ??? (I re read all posts again, you never mention if you did install flashboot drivers)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
wow dude you`re realy helping me, so first of all I wanted to thank you ;)

second, I did installed the drivers before I flashed, and if I didnt, it should`ve told me that I cant flash it or something, no?

(and I didnt said so, because any1 who asked it first asked one of the things I DID answered on, so I didnt answered that, and it was my bad.)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
I don't really know.I could never make flashtool work.

If you go to flashtool, help menu, and click on "check drivers", you should get something like this

To see if you can get something like that, take off battery, wait a minute, put battery on, turn on phone. With phone "on" connect USB cable and then run flashtool (or flashtool 64, depending on what windows you have). It should recognize phone, if not, check drivers.

You could also try to turn on phone with another BST-41 battery...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
alright, something`s wrong. I charged the phone for few days, and the led is still flashing red (so I cant do what u said..)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Hum I think you let battery go to 0%. AFAIK when that happend PLAY don't turn on and led keep blinking red, even if you charge it.

Try another BST-41 battery (Xperia X10 has those) or charge it with a external charger.

There was a USB cable trick too I don't remember it...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
dude if u`ll find me that trick you`re the man, because I dont have any other battery or any external charger.. (and I dont want my parents to know

there`s a chance I screw my phone so I dont want to buy..)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulllen666:
Trick is to take a usb cable you don't need and to cut it to expose the wires. Plug it into a power supply and touch the red and black wires to the terminals on your battery and hold it for about 15 minutes, you should now be able to charge it as normal.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
alright, well I thought it would be simpler than that so.. I`d rather buy new battery..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
These batteries are not expensive. They cost 8 bucks in amazon with free shipping.

With Xperia PLAY is good to have a second battery always.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
Tell me, it can be that the reason that because of the battery is dead I couldnt reboot, and not because any brick or something happend?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
Maybe, if you search here you will notice a case similar to yours. Guy can't turn on his PLAY because he let battery go below 0%.

Everybody says if your led work then there is chance to revive your phone.

There is another posibility too, that your phone die while flashing kernel... one in a million case, but still can happen.

Try with a second battery, borrowed or bought, if not then try USB cable trick, and if not... we'll cross that bridge when it comes.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YechiamTK:
Wait, the other posibility you are talking about, what does it means? U say that there is a chance that my phone is dead but the led STILL working? And that means its dead? Cant do nothing? I know its a one in a million, but still.. Maybe I'm one of those unlucky men..

Oh and that guy, he got his phone fixed?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyx26:
The other posibility is that your PLAY broke while flashing. Not because you break it, but because it's was going to break anyway, you know, sometimes hardware fails. As I did said before, it's one in a million chance. If your PLAY just broke and it's still in warranty get a replacement, if not... time to buy a new phone or get it repaired.

People here said: if your xperia play's led are working then there is still a chance to repair it using flashtool. That's what they say, I can't say anything because I haven't brick or damage any of my android devices yet (and I hope I never will...), but hey, they are the experts right?.

And yes, the other guy got his phone fixed.

This phone is a beast. Also came from a thunderbolt and rezound. The screen is big, but u should already know that. Thats my only negative which isnt really a negative once u get used to it. Its funny I grabbed my buddies rezound and it felt like I was squinting. I highly recommend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Ex TB owner here too. Trust me youbwint regret it. I sing then praises of this phone everywhere...way more than I did the bolt. To compare the two would be like saying the bolt is a grilled cheese and the note 2 is a t-bone steak both taste good but one is better for you and more filling. Pull the trigger. And if you used the kickstand on the bolt a lot then grab on of the many cases with a stand. The only thing i miss about the bolt is the ringtones and I downloaded about 2000 ogg files last night to get quality sounds on this phone. No big deal. Easy to root and easy to mod also. Anything else you need to know just ask. I'll be glad to answer questions you may have .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
I bought the TB last year when it first came out, and it was a beast (back then) but I hated the battery life. Fast Forward, it's sitting in my Kitchen Drawer as an emergency phone in case the Spouse's SGS3 or my N2 ever flake out and I have to order a replacement. The N2 is night and day different-screen size, speed, battery, OS (obviously), memory, and more. You won't regret jumping UP from the TB to the N2.....just keep the TB around as an emergency spare, because that thing was built to last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miss chris:
1st day adopter of the Thunderbolt here! Trust me when I say that the note 2 is light years better than the tb. If for nothing more than the MUCH MUCH better battery life, you should pull the trigger.

Had the Thunderbolt then the Galaxy Nexus. No regrets here at all upgrading to the Note2. I got used to the size very quickly. Now when I hold my old Gnexus it just doesnt feel right anymore compared to this. Running stock rooted with a few Mods and love this phone. Id say go for it.

If your TB was rooted, why not just pull the ringtones, et al over to the N2? I have several that I managed to drag (kicking and screaming) from phone to phone over the years. My upgrade is due in a few months. Will be getting an N2 unless something better comes along. Despite the amoled screen.
