[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnomaanw:
My friend has a xperia play from at&t which is sim unlocked and he wants to try a few custom roms. His phone "bootloader unlocking allowed" is "no".

It is only rooted but with stock recovery and stock rom. So can anyone guide me how to install custom recovery and what roms can be flashed on locked bootloader for sim unlocked at&t xperia play? Or there's no way to do that?

He is willing to run jellybean based roms.

I have searched around but it is getting confusing and I did not find any specific guide for at&t xperia play.

Please help!

Edit: his xperia play says the model is r800i in the *#*#7378423#*#* menu but it is from at&t. I don't know why it says r800i maybe because he had flashed the 2.3.2 ftf made for r800i.....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Either your friend did it or someone else, his phone is running an R800i rom, so either from a FTF or custom ROM that was flashed....i this a second hand Xperia PLAY your friend has?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnomaanw:
Yes i asked him he said he flashed r800i ftf himself. And please let me know which ftf and rooting method should i use to root the at&t xperia play and the steps to install custom recovery and which roms will work

EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnomaanw:
Bump.... Please anyone?

EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian280:
just searched a bit and found this....

First you have to look if your friend's phone is an r800 at or i. if it's blue then it is an at (as it should be being an AT&T) or just remove battery and look behind the phone.

I just looked for it on google writing this "what rom works on r800at" and found this

1 . R800at ROM Questions Read the whole thread. itr's only 3 pages. It essentially says that any r800i (internatinoal, non branded model) ROM works in r800at since both are gsm based. Just have to set up apn setting. But r800x roms doesn't work with r800at because they are CDMA not GSM

2. What is the best rom for gaming? R800at. I have an r800a (branded model) and I recomend this one DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. but if you're looking for a jellybean-like just flash	[ROM] [GSM] [2.3.4] Gin2JellyBean [v1.8.4] - |Fast|Smooth|Stable|Eye Candy|. It looks like jelly bean but it's Gingerbread based.

Anyway, you only can flash stock-based ROMs if you have locked bootloader, and the Xperia Play never got official jellybean, so you are restricted to only GB-based and ICS-based roms. Just get some GB based themed with jelly bean!!!!! ;) Also if you have locked BL you have to stick with stock kernel and can't oveclock. Sorry:crying:

(2/15)I had to restructure the app some to make it easier to add new devices. All previous downloads will have to reinstall. Sorry

If you happen to have an S3 and TP than you may find this chrome app useful. It just links you to where you want to go.

Chrome App[TP&S3]

Chrome App[TP&Rezound]

Instructions:

Just drop Android Forums.crx into extensions (menu>tools>extensions) page

To uninstall just right click app on start page and remove

If you want some other devices to go with TP let me know

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rollerpig:
So i'm trying to run the 3.16 update and everytime i download it it says the update is corrupt would you like to try again? Trying again and its the same results over and over. I'm on a stable wifi connection. I googled the issue and the only thing i could find was toggling the wifi setting of DLNA auto-IP as a fix but it didn't work for me. Anyone else have any trouble with updating or know of a fix?

Phone specs

S-ON

Relocked (previously stuck at 3.15 with bad radios from ruu issues, has since been solved)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Bro do yourself a favor and get S-OFF and you will NEVER have to take another OTA :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rollerpig:
i've done all that stuff before. I got sick of having a phone that only functions at 90% because gps is not working on this rom or lte isn't working on that rom. No offense to anyone here but i just don't think the process of loading custom roms is worth the risk especially when i only have one phone and essentially only use the wifi tether feature. i just want to know if theres any fix to obtain this update.
[HTC Droid DNA] alexjbuck:
Hi,

I saw in the dev forum that the Camera, clock and keyboard from 4.2 have been pulled over and can be installed on the DNA. I was wondering if its feasible (even possible) to do the same for the messaging app. One of the big features of 4.2 (in my mind, having many iPhone friends) is the group chat threading baked into stock message app.

I realize there are 3rd party apps (Go SMS and Handcent) and that I can use them, I just think it would be nice to have that feature with the "stock" message app (stock from 4.2 in this case).

Thanks!

oh, my first post too (just got DNA today)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Doesn't threaded group chat work on the stock HTC app...
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
no, because the HTC sense lovers don't want it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Than what's this. I have one going with my mom and dad and I. My dad had a nexus and my mom has an iPhone and we can all see eachothers messages.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
I get threaded group chat on stock? if we are talking about the same thing.

Anyways, have you tried the AOSP apk? it might just work?
[HTC Droid DNA] trebb:
The stock HTC messaging app 100% has group messaging like the iPhone. I use it every day for group projects in school.

Does the 4.2 messaging app even have native group messaging?

Also, the stock HTC messaging app kind of blows beyond this. It's beautiful, but its redraws are the most annoying thing about this phone. There is no reason that a quad core, 2GB RAM phone should have redraws in a simple messaging application.
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
I agree. The redraws drive me nuts and I always try other messaging apps but end up back on the stock HTC one.
[HTC Droid DNA] volfan22:
The stock messaging app does have group messaging. I would rather have the stock Android messaging app though. I'm just not crazy about the htc one. It would be awesome if we could get a stock one that works really good with mms too.

Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4

If motorola makes it I'm probably gonna get that. Motorola phones usually have limited developing but they make a solid handset. If they make a nexus then it'll be the best of both worlds.

Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4

Perfectly happy with my rocket? Is there REALLY anything another phone can offer that's much better?

Nexus phones have updates.... And lesser hardware. S4? Who cares? Minor bump up really..

Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4

S4 is a minor bump? lmao I'll give u that nexus has better/more frequent updates but lesser hardware, the later being the main reason I steer clear of them.

<rant>

as for the s4 being only a "minor" upgrade, I know ur not under informed majick, but the new 13mp camera/sensor and exynos 5 alone make it A HUGE JUMP. Skyrocket to s3 is minor, hell I don't even consider it an upgrade with the same camera, MAYBE 15% CPU increase due to later architecture. But quad core big.LITTLE, with more power and better battery? Sorry but for me that's huge.

</rant>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4

But what can you do with the power? Same thing you can do with the rocket.

More megapixels = smaller sensor. Not necessarily better.

And the bigger battery? You are going to need it with the increased power demands of the quad core.

So it runs games faster... But I don't have ANY lag on my rocket.

Heck- my rocket is probably 20% or more faster than my kindle fire 2 tablet.. But the games run subjectively the same..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Better than locked down and crappy support.

As for ui I've done sense its total garbage I'll stick to Sony's and aosp.

Also that plastic has a purpose and as for design its still no worse than htc's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
The plastic absorbs impacts and makes it more durable. I don't think it looks bad, and I put a nice case over it as well, which covers up the plastic and appearance.

Samsung is a lot easier to mod, they don't lock the boot loader, and I've used their products for many years and they are top notch.

I am however considering the Sony line for my next phone. Definitely not a HTC though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rebel1699:
I'm either going with Samsung again, or with a Nexus line device. I have heard so much about samsungs build quality being bad, but I have had this phone for almost a year and a half and it is still running top notch. Hard to argue with that. Nexus because I have a nexus 7 and there is nothing bettter than having a device with 100% customization options with no locked crap in the way. If the nexus 7 3g had the ability to recieve gsm calls, you can bet I would be packing a 7 inch phone!

Can you handle the size of the note 3? The rumored size at least.. And what about that eight core?? Linux doesn't support different frequency cpu's so are we not gonna be able to install anything that isn't touchwiz sammy based?? I think I'd just rather have that 1.9 ghz snapdragon. Opinions? Rude comments?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
The 8 cores is dumb in my opinion. It'd be cool if they all ran at the same time but they don't. I think I could handle the size but I wouldn't really want it as a phone. Its .7 inches from my nexus 7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I will probably go with the S4 but I'm going to wait a little bit after its release to let the smoke clear and let things settle for a while ( 2 weeks to a month). My Skyrocket does just about everything I need it to do, but the IR blaster and better Specs will be nice to have. I don't care if it is the Snapdraggon or the Octa...both will be very fast. HTC isn't even an option. It looks like it has great specs but the battery and SD issues are a deal breaker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluecrush69:
I'm on the same boat, currently have the skyrocket, but thinking about getting the S4 when most of the kinks are ironed out. I actually wouldn't mind going with the HTC One though, looks a lot better than the S4 imo.
