use the search key plenty of threads about flashing to downgrade.
In the development section there is a thread you can download the UK generic fw 2.3.2 flash that onto your phone with the latest flashtool then use gingerbreak to root and finally just do an ota update and you will be rooted on 2.3.3. Hope this helped you out man

hi guys ,
my phone now on 2.3.2 and i rooted , but i could not update it via OTA .
also i still could not put my phone on fastboot mode or recovery mode ???
I tried 100 times to press the search button and connect usb but it did not work ?
what can I do to unlock my phone ( unlock SIM ) ?????
I can not use my cellphon to connect the network !
my phone info :
2.3.2
R800i
You don't need it unlocked to root. Just flash it to 2.3.2 generic uk and root it. Then OTA update to 2.3.3. OTA only works when you haven't removed any programs.

What do you mean when you 'pressed the search button 100 times' ? you know they are telling you to search this site.. not press the search button on your phone.

I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment
Can't you just unlock it with gfree?
You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

Yeah post all the details above and we'll get you going
Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)
Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser
to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.
thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

The Kernel flashing are only for unlocked bootloader. You can look for paid method http://unlock-bootloader.com/
MIUI are only for unlocked bootloader
Reboot in Power button there are couple of Mods here check the link in my signature you'll find few of them here.

3rd, How to install ROM? from 2.3.2
HELP ME PLEASE
i just unbricked my X.PLAY
Someone might help if you post in the q&a section

I hope no one will respond, there are plenty of threads about this along the sticky, just need to search a little, if you can't even do that, don't unlock bootloader or do any other tweak, it is beyond your capabilities.

If you just search all will be revealed. But the first step is easy search for doomlords zergrush, 2nd is type in *#*#7378424#*#* (it should spell service) go to service info and click configuration and if it says unlock bootloader status: no or nothing you have to pay and alejandrissimo is supposed to be the best. If it says yes your good to go. As for flashing Rom I haven't done one yet but you need flashtool and just search the development forums
i rooted my xperia play r800i with UNLOCK root u can go to the site and check if the build number of ur phone is there (note:each time u scroll down a new devices will appear so scroll down untill u find sony and if ur build number is there u can download the program and click root but click usb debugging ((i didnt write all the information u should check how to do it in the unlock root site but dont get out ur phone while the program is rooting ur device and if its bricked its not my problem im just telling u an information

If you want to return to the stock rom 2.3.3 uses PcCompanion
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
press support zone--->update phone-->repair and follow the guide
if you want to go back to a 2.3.x you just flash the rom with respective FlashTool
Use the repair option in PC companion to go back to stock unrooted 2.3.3
computer cannot recognize my xperia x10
hi,
PCCompanion can detect my phone, but it said i have to mount my phone. i stuck in this step. dont know how to mount phone in ICS. it does not have anything scroll down and tap usb connect... like in android 2.3.3. Did you actually try? Thanks.

use sony update service.
in that use the repair option
and when asked connect the device in flash mode as per the instructions
you can find the download over here.
OR
you can flash stock kernel and then the stock firmware using the flashtool
i think it is because of build.prop becauz in cm9 i think it is xperia x10 instead of X10i or a
Solved
Hi guys,
