Xperia Play not connecting to PC anymore - Xperia Play General

Hey guys,
I've done something stupid, my phone is bootloader unlocked and it's only firmware 2.3.2.
I have been deleting some application (bloatware), and I didn't back up all the applications I've deleted, but I must have deleted something important. But anyways, today I've restored the phone to factory because It keeps telling me that one of my google account password is wrong (I have 2 google account synched) and I don't remember the password.
So, I restored to phone factory it and now when I try to connect it to the PC, it usually opens up connect to pc and you can select how you want to connect it, using USB, etc. It doesn't come up no more and It doesn't seem to install the driver properly on the pc. So I am not able to connect it to the pc to access my micro sd card no more. I still have my MTP app running and such. Just not sure which app i'm actually missing that makes the selection disappears.
It's not just that doesn't pop up anymore, when you press the power button you usually get to select if you want your phone in silent mode/airplane more. But now when I press it, I'm only able to select power off.
Anybody know or anyone could help me?
Cheers,
Aaron

Since you are only on 2.3.2. could you not follow the processes to go flash back to generic 2.3.2 UK release. it is very easy to do. goto the development section in xplay forum.
if that was stupid answer, then sorry, but I have fl;ashed back lots of times already on mine.

OMG i locked my phone

their seems to be a reset password option in the menu but i cant seem to get it to work. you may want to search also
There is always the option to hack your phone.
I mean by brute force. Just find some rainbow tables to go with it.
This option might take a while, Im assuming you have synced your phone before.
When you synced it did you enable the option to automatically unlock upon connection? if so you can find a way to hack it from here or just copy any necessary files over to your computer and hard reset after. When your done just copy over your files.

Start Over

Have lots of newbie questions and here is another
I did a factory/reset from the recovery boot. I thought this would end up taking the phone back to the way it was the day it came out of the box but it didnt. It still has the Modaco ROM. ok - so now big deal but some apps are showing in my (+) soft key but not in market> my downloads. examples would be astro and apps2sd.
so Now I cant delete them.
2 questions - how would I delete those apps if I wanted to? Is there a way to take the phone back to the exact way it came out of the box?
Thanks for the help
To get the phone back to out of the box:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
Download and run on your computer the one appropriate for your provider.
Also, to remove apps that aren't showing up in the market: (from the homescreen)
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications
Select the application
There should be a remove button (or similar)

Cannot mount SD card anymore, why not?

I have had my Hero just over a week. When I first got it I was given the option to mount the SD card every time I connected it to my PC. For some reason I no longer get the option (I don't know exactly when it stopped, but it could be since I installed HTC Sync, but that's now disabled).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sounds like your drivers have become corrupted or somehow disabled...

Download the USBDeview, plug in your Hero, open it up and click the Description tab so they are in alphabetical order. Hold shift and highlight all the HTC drivers, right click and delete them. Then disconnect your Hero, reconnect it and the drivers should hopefully reinstall correctly.
Hope this works for you!
Thanks OGC313, I appreciate the answer.
The solution was even more simple than that; apparently not all USB cables are created equal...
Can anyone tell me how I can restore widgets to my phone on Axura ROM. Everything seems to be working fine but my phone doesn't even have a basic dialer widget and I can see no way to access the basic application list.
I deleted the google widget which I think I should have kept maybe? Probably needed to re-sync something but I"m not sure
Should I reboot into recovery and restore some kind of data?

how do i re-install co-pilot after acidentaly deleting it

hi any ideas on this sorry im a little simple on this
You can't delete it off the ROM so if you did a hard reset it will be back on the device and then you can re-enter your S/N...OR, if you've just deleted the shortcut off the Start menu you can make a new one using ActiveSync/WMDC
ok mate thanks how do i do that then? lol sorry told u i was pathetic at this
Hard reset:
Turn off the device, hold Vol Up and Vol Down and tap the power button - keep the Vol Up/Down held and you should get a screen asking you to press Vol Up to delete all personal info (make sure you back up contacts, etc. first!!!). I usually do this with both SIM and SD card removed from phone to be on the safe side!!
Make a short cut:
Connect phone to PC and it should give you an icon in My Computer (assuming you have it connected via activesync on the phone). You can then browse to the CoPilot folder and make a new shortcut and paste it in the Start menu.
If you've only just started using the phone and haven't set much up a hard reset is prob the easiest thing to do
ive still got the co pilot splash screen icon but ive just deleted all the files ive had the phone a while so the activ sync option is the best bet i think?
If you deleted them from within the program files on the phone then you'll need to do a hard reset unless you can find a CAB for the program.
What ROM are you using?

first of all,wrong thing to say - I will even donate,we don't help people to get donated.
Next thing,I think kies backup everything,contacts,sms,calender,videos,photos.. See for an option there,u will find it..
Once u have the backup done,go to the folder where kies saved every thing,then check if contacts are in .vcf extention,if so,then copy the file(s) to other phone and simply run the file,it will ask something/maybe directly place all ur contacts there..
That's all!
