Does the wifi work now? is it uploaded with wifi fix?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
I fixed the Encryption issue by Formatting the SD card as Fat32 and then partitioning it in TWRP, this involved having to flash all the way back to the old Turbo Kernel since I could not get CWM to partition the SD card correctly. I have noticed that even after a successful install you require the SD card with the Ext4 partition to be present in the device upon boot, otherwise it will throw the Encryption error at you again. I hope this helps someone, It has taken me hours for such a simple task.

Can you just partition the SD card in windows? I have an 8GB SD and I partitioned it with 4.5GB ext4 and 3.5 fat32. Still it wont boot. :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
You could do what I did and flash Turbo Kernel, from there TWRP was able to partition my SD card correctly. If you don't like that idea there is Minitool partition manager, it's a program I've heard does a pretty good job. Haven't personally used it though. One important thing is that if you're using Minitool you need to connect the SD card directly to the computer, you can't use your phone. You'll need a card reader and you might need it to support SDHC, given that your card is 8gb it's pretty likely it's a SDHC.

(mine only supports normal SD which is why I had to resort to TWRP)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uclydde:
Yeah I tried MiniTool. I guess I'll flash turbo kernel.

Edit: THANK JEEBUS IT WORKED! Thank you so much! I tried partitioning it 25 different times with minitool, but as soon as I partitioned it with Turbo Kernel, it worked fine. Finally, I have lollipop!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
Glad you got it working! I love Lollipop so far, after you use it a little some of the more noticeable bugs stop happening, such as weird graphical glitches and freezing. It isn't without it's issues every now and then but I enjoy it greatly.

If you intend on using Facebook Messenger and it just opens up to a white screen, I ended up having to download an apk of a version from a few months ago and prevent it from auto updating. I notice no difference between the version I use now and the up to date version I used on Kitkat, I don't know if the issue was just a buggy update on their part or an issue with this rom, but I figured it was worth mentioning in case anyone else experiences a similar issue.

thanks in advance for the reply & your work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
I used to own a R800x before getting my R800at, I was able to flash R800i roms to it without problems, I don't see why it wouldn't work assuming you flash the .79 frimware. Obviously you won't be able to use your phone's service plan if you have one since this rom is for R800i which is GSM and R800x is CDMA.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
unfortunately with the r800x doesn't have the luxury of flashing different ftf files as it will result in a SIN_HEADER_ERROR in flashtool. but the purpose of that ftf is to unlock the vendor partition which the r800x already has available. but the problem is that the kernel does not boot on the r800x. at least not the last time i tried to use it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
It's been a while since I owned a R800x I forgot they have unlocked vendor partitions already, I never tried flashing ftf files to it when I had it. Disappointing it isn't working properly, did you flash the kernel in flashtool or with terminal/cmd?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
Just built ROM on Feb6 2015 again. . the opening Layout seems changed quiet a bit..

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
I actually tried both. flashtool and fastboot command. and both resulted in a blank screen. as for the ftf files i found out after trying to install MIUI Australia. it was in the instructions to flash the .79 ftf so i did lol that's when it gave me that error. it does that with all the ftf files i've tried.

your 3rd step of installing . i didnt get it .... plsss explain how to clear system data and user data in fast boot mode

(Staying in fastboot, erase system and userdata

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barrel-rider:
Exactly that, clear the system and data from fastboot. You'll need Android Platform Tools installed which is part of the Android SDK and within the Platform Tools folder you'll open CMD (Or Terminal if you're on linux) And type in "fastboot erase system" which will erase the system and then "Fastboot erase userdata" Which will erase data. Remember to put those commands in without quotes and your phone will have to be in fastboot mode for it to work.

But you could also just flash the Kernel for CM11, format your system and data from that recovery then flash the kernel back to CM12 and install.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naveen392:
okk ... but is it not possible to clear user and system data in cm12 kernel through recovery ??
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
i believe it has something to do with the kernel. as it is the only thing keeping the r800x from being able to flash the rom itself.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Not possible for system data. CM12 kernel currently uses Cyanogen Recovery (instead of good'ol CWM or TWRP), which lacks many basic functions and has bugs.

I'm not a dev... And you can't expect our Xperia 2011 phones to fly with their poor MSM8255 SoC (we don't have custom 3.4 kernels at the moment).

Lollipop (and maybe KitKat too) is more of a proof-of-concept than a daily driver.

2. Flash Boot.img from Fastboot. ( with flash tool select the kernel boot.img )

3. Staying in fastboot, erase system and userdata ( here i got a problem i dont understand really what that means, i wos always after the 2. steps installed the rom manualy by booting it up and pressing the back button)

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

4. Boot Device, Enter Recovery and (Factory Reset) and then (Wipe Cache)

5. Go to Apply Update, Scroll to the Location of you Zip file of the ROM and Install the ROM !

6. Boot ROM.

Could you maybe make a tutorial i wos trying to install the rom like evryother just to put the rom in SD and flash kernel and then wipe etc but like i said i got black screen and can noting do :( i think i did a fail by the step 3.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
[MENTION=6376584]Demahum[/MENTION]

ok here goes a Noobs Tutorial for you and others..

Download Lollipop ROM and place it somewhere in ur SD Card (which should already have and EXT4 Partition) / read the pages in the thread.. Extract the boot.img from the .zip file and place it somewhere on ur desktop.

1. FLash .79 Ftf of Xperia Play from (SonyEricsson Xperia Flasher by Bin4ry and Androxide) Flashtool for Xperia Play

2a Install Fastboot and ADB Package for Xperia Play.. http://d-h.st/2X0N .. download this.. Extract it somewhere.. in a folder on ur desktop maybe..

2b Put your phone in Fastboot mode... Switch off phone.. Keep pressing the Search button (Far Right of Xperia Play) and connect the USB Cable.. if doesn't recognize... locate the google usb Drivers inside the Fastboot folder and install it.. if your on Windows 8 or above .. go to (Disable Driver Signature Mode and Install in that mode - GOOGLE THIS)

2c Place the boot.img (actually rename this with a date.. cuz all kernels are boot.img.. so like rename it to Lollipop05022015.img) and place this file inside the Fastboot and ADB Package folder.

2d run runme.bat and type

fastboot flash boot lollipop05022015.img

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

3. Boot Device, Enter Recovery and (Factory Reset) and then (Wipe Cache)

4. Go to Apply Update, Scroll to the Location of you Zip file of the ROM and Install the ROM !

5. Boot ROM.. Install Pico Gapps. Smile. you got a Lollipop :p

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Well if you're familiar with flashing CM10 on top of stock, there are only 2 extra things to take care of:

1) Partitioning your SD card with EXT4. OP reserved 4GB but I found 2GB to be enough.

2) Erasing system and userdata in fastboot. You need to flash kernel in fastboot anyway, so adding these 2 commands doesn't hurt.

Backup data from SD Card to your desktop, then flash the Turbo kernel(or any other kernel ). Boot into recovery and partition the SD Card from the Recovery settings. Also, erase the system, data and cache partitions. Then mount the SD Card from the same recovery and copy the Lollipop ROM zip to your SD Card. Once done, power off the device and flash the kernel which is in the Lollipop ROM zip file using Flashtool or ADB. Now boot to recovery and just flash the Lollipop ROM zip file and you're done. Hope this works.

My assumption is that an 2GB SD won't satisfy the ROM, but you can try anyway. Leave 1GB for EXT4 and see what happens. You MUST have an EXT4 partition for the ROM to boot properly.

For partitioning use Minitool Partition Wizard. Kinda explains itself.
