hey my play comes in the 3erd and i will like to know is there any working ICS roms for it and how to go about doing every thing i need to. i use to have the lg ally running velocity v1.2 but by the looks of it with my new play i have flashing roms and recover look way harder then the ally was so i need some info guys and a guide and what roms are save to flash and what recovery do i need to have also and thanks for you help also!!!
I havent seen any ICS roms for the r800x but recovering/flashing roms is made very very easy with this from the android market "Xperia CWM Auto-Instaler"
You don't even need to unlock the bootloader, just needs to be rooted and then go about setting up the Xperia CWM Auto-Instaler and just make a nandroid backup. I would reccommend using Cola's rom or IT-ROM (which is based off of Cola's rom) for the r800x, they both have worked perfectly for me and I'm currently running IT-ROM which definitely makes the r800x run much smoother/faster.
Wifi, 3g, sms, ect all worked without any issues, and if you're somone who is worried about being able to overclock, I know someone is working on that with Cola's rom, but I dont think it's finished yet. But, those roms take care of basically any speed issues one may have with their r800x, it definitely did the trick for me.
Good luck

ya i know that as i have done all of this with the ally but what i dont know is with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14815942&postcount=4 do i root and then flash the recover and then install the rom because i know the recovery does not work with stock and thats what i will be on or do i install the rom and then the recovery if i have more info on this then im good
How are planning on installing the ROM without recovery? Seriously, read everything again so you don't brick your phone.
And make sure you're installing a ROM for locked bootloaders.... If you try to install that CM7 ROM it'll likely never boot again.

ok i looked up some info and i can not unlock my bootloader on the R800x i am so happy i did not try and flash the CM7 lol
you can unlock your boot loader it just cost $$ , someone with setool , a paper clip and not minding voiding your warrantee. I would not suggest it until you've gotten a bit experience under your belt but when you get there its worth having done in my opinion , many people vary on this subject and they're right also.
There is limited real benefit to unlocking the R800x, since the devs have been focusing on the locked ROMs... Not much out there, unless you're planning to develop it yourself.

Make a nandroid backup.
So to clarify, if I do the following ...
1) factory reset
2) unlock bootloader
3) root phone
4) make nandroid backup
I can then restore the nandroid backup at any time and phone will be completely stock, recovery, bootloader and all exactly as it is now with no sign of modding whatsoever?
I haven't had a lot of time to read into this so not sure as yet what's involved in the above steps but in a nutshell am I on the right lines? Theres a lot of confusing (and conflicting) info out there!
Thanks.

?? You can already tether on stock. Also, I haven't heard of anyone having problems just from rooting the phone, in fact, all you're really doing is unlocking the bootloader and installing an apps to give you su permissions. Like the others said, you can always nandroid back to stock and relock the bootloader if you want to.
The major things wrong with the CM7 alpha on the NS are the Camera and Wifi and other things you would consider major
Cam and wifi work on alpha2.

I'm all for that sure but not until I have a simple and sure fire way of returning absolutely everything to stock, out of the box condition.
Im personally waiting for Amon_RA to release his NS recovery
and ya, the whole not having a sure fire way to go back to stock is a downer.
Google needs to release the stock ROM in its entirety
I'm sure they'll do that soon... or at least I hope they will. Only then will the fun begin for me!
Just wondering, why do you guys need a surefire way to return to stock? Just reflash stock rom and relock bootloader.

Is it really that simple though? My understanding is that the only available 'stock' rom is not in fact stock, rather its an adapted rom as Google have yet to release the actual one?
I want to be able to return to normal in case I want to return the phone.

you cant reflash the stock recovery over CWM either....so when they release the stock ROM officially all you would have to do is re lock the bootloader and flash the rom and it will overwrite EVERYTHING
i was a hardcore CM user on my N1 , flashed nightlies every day but i just dont see anything in CM for the NS that would make me jump right into an alpha

Im sure it is on the servers, just a matter of time before someone manages to find it...they always do
I've recently run into an issue finding the original bootloaders (specifically Eclair boot.bin), and after searching for a few hours, NUSHOR pulled some for me and put them on dropbox, so I figured if anyone needs them (I needed them, as hopefully I'll be making a one-click Heimdall for Gingerbread and Froyo soon for all platforms) links are at the bottom! They have become hard to find!
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15148638/phonestuff/Bootloaders/FROYO_BOOTLOADERS_UCJI6.zip
This is for those of you who know how to flash them using Heimdall (IT IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP!)
Let me reiterate the point of this:
You *can* use the i9000 GB bootloaders on Froyo, however you cannot use them on Eclair or CM7
You *can* use the new AT&T GB bootloaders on Froyo and Eclair *AND* CM7
The purpose of this is to give those that need to RMA, or need to go to *complete* stock, a way to get the official AT&T bootloaders.
Don't flash these if you don't need them!
Happy flashing otherwise!
I did not realize that and was worried that somehow it would mess up my phone going to CM7 from i9000 ROMs.
Thankfully, there are real developers like designgears on this site to steer me in the right direction. I appreciate you dropping some knowledge on us!

You can't use Gingerbread bootloaders on CM7. I don't remember exactly what it screws up, but I remember some people tried it and had serious issues. Gingerbread bootloaders work with Samsung 2.2 ROMs, which is what designgears was saying (I assume).
I have no clue whether mine are downgraded, but I'm guessing no, i still show the i9000 screen as primary boot. I did use Odin to flash back to eclair, but pretty sure there were no bootloaders in the package. I have been running CM7 great! Maybe I downgraded, or the hardware lock on the sbl makes it okay (my i897 is model 1012, prob makes a dif). Dunno, but I like having an essentially pure Google phone with CM7, so i hope the problem never crops up for me!
In no way am I advocating that other captivate users listen to me. Listen to these devs, I'm just sharing my experience. Thank u for more clarification, and CM7 Platypus kernel rocks!

The CM dev have said it won't work, but I guess you're just lucky. Is your external sd mounted? I think that was an issue that was mentioned.
Sent from my Captivate
I just got an external sd, and it doesn't show up in my storage information. I really didn't know what was up with that, I just didn't really care, but now I do lol.
I'll see if oneclick works to downgrade the bootloaders, but it has not worked in the past.
I've had trouble making a package of my own with bootloaders: I've added them to the .tar, but it fails when it runs, so obviously just adding them isn't enough. What else needs to be done to make them actually flash through odin as a .tar? Or is adding them actually enough? Does my file fail because it contains the sbl, which I thought had a hardware lock on my model, and is that also why oneclick fails?
edit----oneclick did the trick! THANK YOU designgears!!! Now I should be able to use CM7 as it was intended.
If I'm currently on a JVH ROM, and wanted to be on CM7, I know what to do, but if I'm feeling lazy good I just technically just flash CM7 over it since I dont have an ext-Sd?
Or could I flash the above .zip to get my boot loaders back.

Yes, they are, but only for Froyo AFAIK. Also, if you wish to use CM7, you can't use them, although you can use the new Gingerbread ones from AT&T
So I can use this bootloader to get CM7 to work back on my phone if I am rooted on the stock rom?

Not sure what you mean by 'the stock ROM', but if you are on Gingerbread bootloaders, and you need / want CM7, your best option would be to follow the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130879
The reason I say this is because more than likely, you will never need to flash the bootloaders I posted, as they will not support Gingerbread. Like I said in the first post, they are only if you need to RMA the phone, or return it to bone stock, otherwise the 'Unofficial' AT&T Bootloaders will be best for you, as they work on anything.
Edit: I didn't technically answer your question: Yes, you could use these for CM7, but it's typically best not to.
Hi all, just got an upgrade this week to the Atrix and thoroughly enjoying it so far. As a poweruser with the HD2 and all the hacks involved like android on nand etc, the first thing I did out of the box was root it.
Now to my point, all the custom roms I'm seeing seem to be for At+t and Bell (is that the right carriers?), and the forum is Atrix 4G. So can I as a UK user use these same roms/radios that are outlined in the development forum?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Greetings. I have the same backround as you . I nearly stayed with my hd2 but i'm glad I didn't. The only gingerbread rom for us is the orange one in the dev forum. I have had no success flashing this yet. Soft bricked 3 times and counting.
There is an international fruit cake in the works rich we will be able to flash from CWM.
So far rooting is fine.
Unlockingbootloader is fine.
flashing Cwm if fine.
I keep meaning to start a t-mob uk thread to collect all the info for us uk tmob users into one place. I will get round to it eventualy if some one doesn't beer me to it.

Hi there.
I am on Orange U.K, and i have successfully flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409. Following this guide to flash the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167373.
Many international users have flashed this ROM as well but REMEMBER to unlock your bootloader before even considering flashing this ROM.
When unlocking your bootloader, you will notice that you will only have around 300 total RAM but if you flash the hack relevant to your device, you will retain your RAM when you flash to Gingerbread.
Please follow the guide properly and don't skip any step. BTW, if your bootloader is not unlocked, we will probably be getting Gingerbread soon since the SOAK testing is about to begin very soon.
Similar story, i'm on Orange, followed those steps and it's working great. Just had to replace the missing sound files, but apart from that, works a treat.

I thought we still had to be careful with the Roms, as some of them contain files that are tied to the kernel version (until the port everything over). For example, the ninja rom, I believe it is crrently tied to AT&T at the moment. I presumed we had to wait for a safe INTL version..
I think we can install and lunch any Rom now. The only limitation for inte. users is Ram issue. Otherwise will work fine.

But that doesn't mean you can't root.
SBF to froyo.
Flash the 2-part gingerbread .zips.
Flash a custom rom (Liberty?)
Or stay on the froyo kernel...
and try MIUI or Cyanogen.
Be careful and read as much as you possibly can before starting. Myself and at least one other on here with the latest iteration of the X have ended up with boot looping or totally non-responsive devices.
I have started a thread with my findings. I am by no means an expert but I do have much experience with rooting devices going all the way back to the PPC6700.
Good luck.
getting stuck in a bootloop is part of the exploration process IMHO.
At least once per new ROM I'll flash something 'just to see what happens' and end up SBF'ing back. Just make backups between steps if you aren't sure about what will happen next.
it would be nice if one of the devs or people who work on rooting or someone in the know would at least comment if we are going to get a real root with the OTA
i mean im running froyo with CM7 but i sure would like the new firmwares for all the radios flashed and then be running CM7
so if someone could give us some kind of update at least saying no one is even remotely working on trying to gain root on 4.5.596 Official OTA or that yea we are working on it but it is a ***** and taken longer then we expected
that lil bit of info goes a long ways
thanks
I am not aware of any dev working on this ATM.
I don't think rooting 596 ota is critical 2nd unit has opened up alot of new doors and the attention has shifted. However I have flashed all of drew gardens latest and ran cm4dx until nightly 47. Now I'm daily MIUI and loving it, despite locked bootloader the cdma_shadow still has alot of options.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
to my understanding .596 has better battery life and signals are better for wifi and cellular (at least more stable and less drops)
i do not know if this is true but i have read/heard alot of ppl saying the battery life is better on .596
after all there is a .596 for some reason and its not a lil bump from 2.2.340 its pretty big
anyhow someone really needs to figure this out as the baseband has changed....i mean there is the pre-rooted rom .596 that works great so we know it can be done.
whats the big deal...let us have it

the big deal is that there isn't a readily found exploit for the ota, the pre-rooted was done with a diff. method (brute force? recompiled?) but the versions are the same regardless
no ones holding back a secret root method, there just isn't a dev interested in spending huge amounts of time to recreate what already exists
i think it would be interesting to create a batch script that sbf's a phone and installs the pre-rooted .596 but all hidden behind a random animation so the user doesn't see what's happening. if i call it a 'one click' root method lots of people who don't seem to want to take the readily available pre-rooted gb for whatever reason would likely be happy. yeah i understand that if it includes a sbf then data may get lost, but if i said in the instructions of my 'app' that it would happen and they should have backups, people would still likely use it
sorry, but i just don't understand why so many people who want root are seemingly against using the pre-rooted option, as most of them don't have the knowledge to find an exploit or a root method from scratch themselves, so they are still using the work of someone else...
<Disclaimer>I'm going out on a limb here with limited knowledge of the X. <End disclaimer>
From what I read and I don't remember where, the rooting of an X involves a 2nd init method by which it takes control of the initial init. I believe I read the original init isn't able to be exploited and this is the basis of some of the more complicated methods of rooting the X.
If someone knows more about this please correct me or chime in.
I had an Incredible prior. The rooting was more comprehensive and simple. I believe that is because the bootstrap and recovery were not as difficult to get into. That being said, personally, I may be going back to another HTC device if the folks light years smarter than me aren't interested in developing a root method like the other devices out there.

Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.
lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out
Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.
1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.
2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.
3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.
As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.
my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.
Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?
