Important - Xperia Play General

Nowadays people don't really read instructions carefully and accidentally cause problems on their device such as bootloop and brick. Please, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, don't skip any step! Also, read the requirements needed before you start installing mods, custom roms and kernel. Thank you.

I thanked you ONLY because what you stated is true...and your avatar is killer!

Do I have the ICS bootloader installed?

I just want to make sure everything worked. I followed the thread by Civato as best I could, I have a new bootloader and recovery installed and running ICS.
I downloaded an app called: Acer Recovery Installer, it tells me I have the following installed:
0.03.14-MUL
Rom is stock ICS:
Acer_AV01_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 --(build #)
Acer_AV01_A500_RV06RC01_WW_CUS1 --(image ver.)

Welcome to DEV. You may not realize it , but this board is for dev work only. Honestly, have you even read the rules? Maybe you have issues categorizing things..
Any who, if it says iconia tab a500 as a boot logo, then you have it.
Calm down guys it was the OP's mistake let's not bully them :L
OP: yes it is the wrong section
Everyone else: calm down
Mod: please move topic.

New comers like myself, this just may help

Hello Everybody,
If you are a new comer like me and willing to enter this new Universe, so you must do one thing:
Read, read, read, read, read and learn! Than read some more!
Follow the steps provided by the gurus! Do not play around! You may end up paying a very high price and even bricking your lovely GNote!
The below links are just a few which I have found to be very helpful on instructing me on how to Flash and root my GNote.
Please be careful and read all threads from beginning to end! Remember on the XDA alone there are plenty of threads and information that you must read before trying to flash your International GNote!
First thing: What to ask and how to ask? A must see short introductory video as a first step as suggested by the senior member p107r0
I must read this first :

Well, I finding a bit difficult to understand your thread...I don’t see point of unlocking the Dev area unless you are in the field. As far as I am concern the dev area will not give me much, especially with the silly questions I am still to ask.
"...to test qualifications..." what is the point? Many like me turn to XDA to find an answer to a problem and likely will to have the knowledge to stand an examination.
To finalize, my idea with the thread was to provide some information, there are plenty of people going under with their phones due to stupid mistakes.
People stuffing the forum with “spam” threads should check themselves, do a full wipe and then reboot…if you know what I mean.
one additional suggestion: "[GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive"
This is what I said:

This is what really happened:
I registered [because i wanted to thank a post]. I logged in (after email confirmation) and searched for the thank button, but couldn't find it. So i went to google picture search, typed in "xda thank button" (there is always at least one person making a screenshot and a arrow on it) and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590190
and on page 2:
It works now - seems that one at least needs one post before "Thanks" is unlocked.
So...nothing for quiet readers like me

Why should I have made a new topic about it?
I usually search first at google, than xda (because of localisation) and when I still haven't found an answer there have already 3 hours passed and I might really have a problem/question noone else ever had before.
Forums are no chat. Every Question and their answers will be saved. Asking a question again and waiting for answers takes usually much longer than just google it.

Well, it's better to post in the Q&A with questions.
However, most have probably already been answered, so it's better to use the "search" feature first before creating a new thread.
Most issues, when it comes to changing bootloaders, you should be able to find the answer in either the Bootloader Guide thread, or the Bootloader Thread itself.
If you can't find the answer, then post in the Guide Thread, or the Bootloader Thread. If nobody can answer it, or doesn't answer, then you can create a new thread in Q&A.
Folks around her are generally helpful. I ran most of the Trolls away a few months ago
My best advise. Get your UID number before you even start. Write it down somewhere. We have a guide on how to do that.
Always read the guides. These were written by people who have been at the new unlocked bootloader and 3.2 and ICS from the very beginning. We did the original testing for most of this stuff a long time ago.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful.

One more advice.
When you post questions, and people help you (whether right , or it just didn't work), it's a custom to select the "Thanks" button near their post (reply). It's a nice thing to do. You will find the "Thanks" button located under the user's Avatar.
You are allowed to use the Thanks button 5 times each day I believe.
Welcome to the A500/501 forums!
MD
my A501 arrives today, my goal is to end up with Thor's JB ROM on it. I have a "little" experience from running custom roms on my Motorola Defy, but that bootloader thread is really doing my head in.
I've found this which as a newbie totally makes sense to me and is a great guide for starters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204
Hopefully I can figure out the Bootloader part ok, or could someone recommend a particular bootloader with the end goal of using JB in mind perhaps?

Questions About Unlocked Bootloader And PF4

I am on an unlocked bootloader and I'm also on pb1 and running cm13. Is there a way for me to upgrade my modern to pf4 with a flashable zip?
It seems like there is a way to upgrade my bootloader now as well from what I've pieced together information wise through reading the forums is that true, am I reading into this correctly?
Bump for help.
Bump for help.
If you have these same questions for the awesome developers in this sub forum please speak up because it would seem that some still hold childish vendettas against me despite me being thanked plenty of times for helping people around here and being a long time member of this community.
Thanks to anyone who speaks up and answers these few questions. I just see a lot of people bricking their phones right now and not enough information out there so I'd like to perhaps help other people while helping myself as well by getting this information before moving forward with trying my hands at this.

I agree. Lately there is a lot of very confusing conflicting information and guides that are not clear like they used to be. Instead of helping some just get mad and fill threads with complaints instead of answers
