Help me with Flashtool - Xperia Play General

I have used flashtool successfully before without a problem. I just got a new computer and I can't get it to work. When I hold the back button and plug the usb cable in nothing happens.

Ok so now windows is telling me that S1bootdownload driver is not found. How do I get this driver? Is it causing the problem?

Seems like I spoke to soon. Flashtool seems like it is working it even says at the end
08/051/2011 23:51:11 - INFO - Flashing finished.
08/051/2011 23:51:11 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
08/051/2011 23:51:11 - INFO - Then go to application settings
08/051/2011 23:51:11 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
When I go to turn on my phone its the same way as it was before. Nothing changed my apps were still there I even checked under settings and it still said android 2.3.3 when I flashed a 2.3.3 ftf file.

Also am I supposed to use the 2.9.1 beta or the 2.8. I can't remember which one I used before but right now I used the 2.9.1 beta.
After I flashed my phone shows the date as March 28, 1980
WHY???

Odin and PC not recognizing SGS

Hello guys, my PC and obviously Odin doesn't recognise my SGS, so I can't install my new ROM (Which doesn't have a CWM version).
How can I solve this?
I tried reinstalling drivers and stuff like that, I seriously need help with this.
OMG now it is semi-bricked!!! Please help me guys, I tried again to use Odin but it keeps connecting and disconnecting the phone, so it's impossibile to complete the update and fix the phone!
Check your phone cable.. Or USB on your computer..
If you are saying that it's losing and getting connection.. That can be reason why it's semi-bricked now as you said.. (in the middle of the "odin proces" lost connection)..
Other than that, I really dont know what could be the reason, if you instaled everything else correctly..
Now for some reason I've been able to turn it on with a wipe/factory reset from the recovery mode, I was scared as hell...
But I still can't understand why it gets and loses connection with Odin...

As I said, check cable (I had similar problem with (old) cable).. Or try another USB port..
I used all the USB ports I found here lolz.
I'll try my father's cable, let's see if it works.

Sorry to hear that..
I dont't know what else you could try.. Maby deinstall and again install new version of odin.. Same thing with Kies, so you are definitely shure that you have all drivers right..
(First deinstall /instal Kies - then Odin)
I'm sad, you know?
I'm not lucky at all with all this bulls...! Example: Kies stops at the main screen after I install it, tried to install it 6 times.
Odin: I have Odin3 V1... But I don't think this problem is related to Odin, only the device keeps connecting / disconnecting.

THIS PROBLEM start when
1. you using diffrent luncher always use touch wiz(samsung defalt) during connection
2. mtn or mtp is creasing
3. some stupid rom
4. windows 7 64 bit driver problem
5.normal driver problem
6.cable
7.windows update(sometime i seen this update mass up driver and pc is not recognise phone)
this is my observetion if somebody like to add/correct then welcome
Try cleaning the USB port
Try cleaning the port/cable with an alcohol swab (Battery out of course). I had tried everything and then it was this simple thing that worked. And my phone was only 3 months old and never wet so it shouldn't have mattered but it did!
There is lots of information elsewhere on drivers, the order in which to do things etc but try this too. It can't hurt and can help.
Here is the latest drivers

Flash a rooted rom and try going back to ur rom

You can't root Froyo with z4Root. Download SuperOneclickRoot 1.7 + and just click the big "Root" button after you connect your phone to your PC. Remember to turn on USB debugging in development menu in applications options.
I see you are using XXJPQ, this is an unknown ROM to us, root is not implemented for this ROM. It may need special tweaking. Have you tried the "rageagainstthecage" method?

i know i must root with SOC, but it freezes on "waiting for device".
yes, this JPQ i can't find anywhere, it came on kies, here in croatia.. i tried "rageagainstthecage", but stil freezes (not responding) on "waiting for device".. i'm crazy, do you know where i can ask for that tweaking or developing?

hi

drop box link : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10031257/SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip
do one thing if u have any other external hdd or any other USB devices connected to ur pc remove them all i dont know why but some times the apps gets confused and does not work and also temp stop ur virus scan while doing the process
it will work good luck
Super One Click HAS to work.
Since you updated you might not have USB debugging enabled... so make sure you do.
Also, try removing your SD card. (know it sounds stupid... but do it anyway.)

clarkkov said:
No guys, you don't get it. It's an official ROM that we haven't seen yet (At least I haven't seen it). There is no XXJPQ on samfirmware. This is the Q version - the last JP version. If these methods are not working, we need to "crack" the XXJPQ.
Alen, can you dump your ROM on an SD card and then upload it so we can see this wonder?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, i can't find anywhere that JPQ, strange thing.
i would but i don't know how to dump it.. instructions?
With all these troubles, is it worth being on that rom?

yeees i enabled.. and when i check drivers it says "no issue found!!" i think a problem is that JPQ. i will try tomorrow to save it and upload it.
I was having trouble rooting till a few days ago. of course, i was technically inept and kind of stupid. and though i see your problem might be a bit different because of the official ROM, but it's worth a shot.
Which version of SOC are you using? the one in the rooting thread or the latest one? the 1.7 didn't work for me, neither did 1.8 but 1.9 did the trick. Try that.
did you do the boot method? you turn on the phone while the rooting process is running on your pc and it is waiting for a device?

Problem with connection to pc via HSPL

Hello everyone...I have a TMOUS HD2 and i noticed a problem resently...every timeIi connect my device to my laptop via HSPL 2.08 and try to flash any customRUU or task29 or anything that requires HSPL, my laptop won't find the device...my phone shows connection (serial changes to USB when I insert the cable) but laptop won't find it...any other usb function works properly (charging, mass storage e.t.c) Also it worked fine a couple of weeks ago...nothing changed on my laptop since then...When I go to device manager shows my phone and says that drivers are fine...Am I doing anything wrong? I really apretiate any help since I love my HD2 and don't want to mess it up! (also no money for new device )
try a different usb port. each port loads the drivers individually, so sometimes a port can get corrupted, but the one right next door works fine. I find this sometimes happens when i'm waking the device just at the moment the pc is detecting the usb plugged in.
Also, you know task29 is rarely needed, right? if you;re just using android roms, theres only very rarely an occasion where you need to use bootloader. (I ask because i know there are people that still follow the full proceewdure of hspl, task29, magldr, partition, flash, without realising theres no need)

Trying a different usb port was the first thing i tried! no port will work.! Yes i do know that task29(i probably done it just once or two times since i got the device) is not needed but i thought it would be a breath of fresh air for hd2 with all the trouble we put it through!
thank you for replying!

Sorry for the late reply.
By "install activesync" I didn't mean the drivers, I meant the software itself.
Google "ActiveSync" and install if you have windows XP or earlier.
Google "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and install if you have windows Vista or later.

If you understood, you should have made a proper feedback.
Telling "I tried it, nothing works" is not helping. You need to tell us what happened when you installed the activesync. Instead of "nothing works", say: I installed activesync and I plugged in my phone, but the phone is still not recognized.
Is this what happened?

I had this thought when I helped another guy. You may have defected your cable by mistake, try another cable and report back properly .

Uhhhh.....
Let's so down.
OSP is a built-in feature on the LG G2.
In order to use it, you need
1. turn on this feature on the G2 phone (under PC connectivity) AND
2. get the OSP tool installed on the computer that you want to use this feature
For item 2. you need to go onto the LG support site, download the tool then install it.
Do that first if you haven't done that yet.

If I understand you correctly, you do have the OSP tool installed on your PC AND you do turn on OSP feature on your phone.
Right? I assume that's what you said.
If that's the case, then reread my post above, UPDATE IT.
Update the OSP tool on your PC.
When you invoke (open) the tool, there will be an icon shown in the Status bar (where volume, network, action center, ... icon shown)
Click on it (can't remember RMB or LMB) to bring up its menu then select Settings.
From there, you will see the firmware version and Update button.

Same issue here. Latest version says 4.0.004.130823 which is what we have. But if we try to connect the phone to the pc it says please update software on pc.
I don't really know what you guys have done but I do it w/o any problem.
In fact, I just uninstalled everything and restarted from scratch.
Everything is OK as normal. It is on Windows 7.

You can either do a full flash letting it wipe everything or only update.
If you let it update it will only re-install bloatapps, the phone will be in exact same condition as pre-flash.
As a regular ota update would.

Most guides are utterly crap.
I'm away from my PC but find and download the newflasher program. That when run, will give you the option to extract drivers, do it, the right click on the inf file and install it. Now copy the new flasher program in to a folder with your new firmware in, make sure you downloaded the correct one.
Then turn off your phone, all the way. Hold down the vol down button and plug a usb cable to connect to your pc, give it a moment, nothing will happen on the screen, it will remain blank.
Now run the newflasher program again, forget the drivers as you have done that and let it do its thing.
Done.... Well it will be after about 10 Min, on your computer screen it will show you progress.
If no one has replied with links to the programs I'll do it but it's going to be a few days, I'm currently sailing across the ocean and my signal is about to vanish
