AFAIK CDMA only exists in USA, Japan and China. Let's live China out, cause China Telekom is pretty much all the choice you get. What about USA? If CDMA is bad, leave it. Go GSM. Vote with your money. Let corporations get a piece of your mind. IF people started to flee from Verizon maybe they would start rethinking their strategy (even if it took them years to implement anything)

As in most things in this world you can't have your cake and eat it too
[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
The world uses GSM. Period. We can't take care of people who ride their special monocycle.
[Ubuntu Touch General] trunkamonkey:
By the way China and Japan are two of the most technologically advanced economies in the world. CDMA is newer and more advanced then GSM. Verizon 4g phones are for better if you ask me because I can use Verizon or att or T-Mobile on my iPhone 5. I may not get 4g on the GSM networks but so what.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
CDMA sounds like the Betamax of network technology.

China most technologically advanced economy in the world. LOL

Who ever has to copy/steal stuff from the west is NOT technologically advanced.

[Ubuntu Touch General] jaed.43725:
Your source may be wrong. The VGN is the most popular model out there and the only one with 4G. Ubuntu specifically started 4G support. Engadget did not say either way and I trust them. So why would they skip over the largest dev phone in the U.S. market? Answer: they wouldn't.

Sent from awesomeness?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Jimlarck:
I think you're the one with the incorrect sources.

The VGN is not the only one with LTE and is not the most popular model. That would be the Play Store version.

Also Canonical stated no CDMA support.

AW: My frustration towards CDMA

The US. Is pretty much almost alone with "pure" CDMA...

Most of Europe uses GSM and so does China.. But the GSM networks all use W-CDMA for their UMTS systems ..

Source : http://www.diffen.com/difference/CDMA_vs_GSM
[Ubuntu Touch General] jaed.43725:
I should have been a little clearer. In the US the most popular variant is VZW.

The email link there is just someone asking about it and forming there own opinion.

Nowhere on the Ubuntu site does it say only GSM. The actually specifically state LTE compatibility. And as VZW has the largest LTE network it only makes sense.

It's an email to Canonical, and a response from Canonical.
[Ubuntu Touch General] nicknamecharlston:
since we are on the topic of network technologies i just have a quick question:

Speaking in terms of LTE will Merica use the same sort of LTE technology as europe? Or are their LTE network somesort of "apple 4g" speeds?

Are they using the same frequenzieisiisifis?
[Ubuntu Touch General] Jimlarck:
Not sure but something I gotta tell you is that in San Antonio TX LTE is overrated. No kidding. T-Mobile 4G speeds are exactly the same as Verizon 4G LTE speeds.
[Ubuntu Touch General] juicyjones:
Ditto in Seattle, where my T-Mobile HSPA+42 seriously beats the crap out of AT&T's "LTE" and is the same speed as Verizon's LTE.

IF YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR XPERIA PLAY I CAN HELP YOU FIX IT!

Please answer the questions first.

1st is you bootloader unlocked

2nd does you phone power on & if not what does it do? vibrate turn on and show logo etc.

3rd what were you doing to it when you bricked it?

4th do you have the newest version of flash tool From androxide? if not download it!!!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Gamer:
i really like the idea that you are helping people to fix their bricked phones. Thumbs up. Find a way to pin this because bricking is very common to xperia play users. If you cant pin it let a senior member or a contributer take up the thread. Good job
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
So far from what i have seen of this guy he is making stuff up or reading information that doesn't even work for our device.

And how is bricking common to xperia play users? it isn't. People should look up what a brick is, It's like a 1% chance of bricking

Also technically its impossible to unbrick a phone as the definition of a bricked device is essentially "unfixable expensive brick/paperweight"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Gamer:

I have hard bricked my phone 3 times

I personally used this method when I could not get a green light from pressing the back button. Or a blue light using the search button.

I did a lot of research for my phone considering it would not even vibrate .http://www.techofweb.com/technology/recovering-bricked-xperia-flashtool.html

So I found this link for a step by step guide on how to unbrink my phone. So just because you never heard of this method it does not mean it is incorrect. Google it if you don't be live me.

Have you just written donate? Well, f*ck you! There are people which really need money for a motherboard replacement so they can develop further(CosmicDan) , they have spent hundreds of hours to bring us the best experience and push our devices to its limits. What have you done? You have just copied and pasted a link to the thread which is not even posted by you. If I'd get one cookie from one person which I've helped I'd have over 500 cookies. If you don't have enough money then just go out and find yourself a job! There's a good polish sentence which I can't translate literally.

"for the willing person there is nothing hard"

FYI you've got to add PayPal account to the xda in order to have this donate button which is great, easy and simple.

I guess that I've helped even more people than you've did and I didn't even asked once anybody to press thanks button some people got help and didn't even answer me if it worked afterwards. I didn't dare to ask for donations even once and I will probably never do. I'm sure I've spent more time in the xda than you and I'm not saying how long precious time I've lost, because it's my choice, not obligation that I HAVE to spend time here.

Mine seems pretty badly bricked.

1st is you bootloader unlocked

No... I thought it was, but Flashtool Emma tells me it isn't.

2nd does you phone power on & if not what does it do? vibrate turn on and show logo etc.

It turns on, vibrates and shows the "Sony Ericson" logotype for a few seconds before it disappears for a few seconds, then appears again and so on and so forth...

3rd what were you doing to it when you bricked it?

I had just installed Superuser by ChainsDD and ROM Toolbox Pro by JRummy Apps Inc. and I had made some changes to some notification bar icons and fonts when I rebooted to see the changes, that's when it got stuck in the boot loop.

4th do you have the newest version of flash tool From androxide? if not download it!!!

I've tried both the Androxide Flashtool version 0.9.10.0 and Sony's own Emma Flashtool for Xperia devices, none of which have gotten me very far.

I'll be impressed and highly thankful if you can walk me through fixing this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrique88:
1: Yes

2: yes, it turns on, vibrates and show the logo of doomlord kernel

3: I was flashing the lupus kernel on it, with flashtool

4: yes,I have
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunderbird8:
Was there any error message from flashtool? Cause it doesn't sound like the kernel you were trying to flash actually made it onto the phone. There's also the possibility that attempting to flash to the Lupus kernel removed the existing ROM from the phone (I went from stock kernel to Lupus and could only access recovery to install my intended ROM), especially if the partitioning is different (I haven't used the other kernel you mentioned, so I don't know if this is the case).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
Sooo... is there nothing I can do or what?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pizza_user:
You maybe have format system in cwm so it can't boot because they have nothing after (no rom, no stock) follow all instructions with flashtool and don't unfollow any step
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
I did follow all the steps, the flashtools won't work because they need the bootloader to be unlocked which the flashtool tells me it isn't.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pizza_user:
So follow all the steps for unlock your bootloader, they have differents ways... Official published by Sony, unofficial...

After did that, you will be able to follow all the steps in Flashtool because the rom what you're installing for is a rom who works with unlocked bootloader maybe.

(Some roms works with ONLY unlocked bootloader, some roms works with locked & unlocked bootloader, two differents versions)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
*facepalm*

How am I supposed to follow the steps to unlock my bootloader when the phone is stuck in a boot loop?

Has anyone even read my posts in this thread?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pizza_user:
Lol sorry guy
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunderbird8:
You can use Flashtool to flash an official firmware to your device. This will work even with a locked bootloader (I did this before unlocking my bootloader). You can check [FIRMWARE][FTF] Collection of Xperia Play R800a/i/at/x firmware to see if there's one for your device.

Note: Be sure to uncheck the DATA box in Flashtool, leaving it checked will wipe the userdata partition (I made this mistake when I was flashing back to 2.3.3. Oops).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
*facepalm again*

For flashtool to work, the phone needs to be in both MSC mode and debug mode. It's on the front page of the flashtool website! How the heck am I supposed to set the phone to those modes when I can't boot the damn thing up?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunderbird8:
Flash mode does not require booting up the phone (in fact, flash mode requires the phone to be turned off first). To put the phone in flash mode, turn the phone off, ensure that it is NOT plugged into the USB cable for a few seconds, hold the Back button, then plug the phone into the USB cable. (the notification LED will turn green, which is a bit confusing since this also indicates a nearly full or full charge on the battery when it is charging normally). This is the same procedure that the SE Update Service uses (I never used the PC Companion, as I have a R800x, which does not have the MTP mode required for that case).

The phone has to be off for this because you can use flashtool to overwrite the kernel...obviously this doesn't work to well if it is actually running.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
Alright I tried it again after having given up long ago and this is the result I got:

Any idea what's causing this and how I get past it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
My guess flashtool is having trouble reading firmware file from disk.

This can be caused by two things:

1: "/" sign in filename. Rename file, remove "/" from it

2: Your username on PC have special letters (like č,ć,š,ß or similar to your language). Place ftf in simple path, like C:/ or D:/ and load it in flashtool from there
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cordovan Splotch:
Actually, I just found out that I was missing certain drivers that needed to be installed... I've finally got it unbricked, currently working on unlocking the bootloader so I can get Cyanogenmod10 on it.

I just updated my Nexus 7 3g to 4.2.2. I noticed under about phone that the baseband still reads 1231_0.10.0_1021. I'm rooted w/TWRP. I updated the radio and bootloader with fastboot.

So, when I boot into the bootloader, the baseband version says 1231_0.17.0_1205. I would tend to believe the bootloader.

Is there a system file that stores the baseband version that's read by "about table" that didn't update? Thought I'd ask here before I start digging into it myself.
