First of all...I just decided to make this guide for people that seem to run into the same issues as I did but I feel like its more of a pain to keep adding threads & waiting for a response...or searching thru different posts to get a different outcome you were looking for. So here is where I start.
Flashtool 4 noobs:
1. When you first install flashtool before you run the program go into the driver folder run install drivers... (Make sure that your antivirus isn't running & your phone is connected to usb.)
***only connect phone to usb while installing drivers then remove phone***
2. Flashing ftf files- Because there are so many ftf files out there make sure if you get one its the correct ftf zip otherwise you will get a SIN HEAD ERROR...
*{This error}*
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";\00"
(if you get this error while flashing ftf its because the ftf file isn't made for your model).
To flash ftf put the file in the firmware folder of flashtool before running it. Start flashtool...hit lightning button... Select flash mode... Choose the correct drivers(also select flash drivers from bottom of box) then choose the ftf file you want to flash...it will prompt you to connect it in flash mode(green led) hold the back button while phone is off...then connect to usb... It will begin flashing the ftf file..done
***ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS***
3. Flashing kernels- In order to flash the kernel of your choice put the kernel.img in x10flasher folder. (make sure drivers are installed if you haven't installed them already). Then start flashtool... Hit lightning button... Choose fastboot mode... Select correct drivers & fastboot driver at the bottom of box. Menu should pop up. Select kernel to flash... Connect phone to usb in fastboot(blue led) turn off phone...hold search button & connect to usb...it will start flashing...done
***once you've flashed the kernel of your choice remove it from usb... Reboot phone... At boot logo hit the corresponding button to go into recovery... Back or Vol down depending on the kernel... If you don't hit it continuously it will go to black screen because it doesn't have anything to boot***
This concludes my guide... If you find this guide helpful please hit the thanks button... Or if you have any suggestions to make this guide better I'm open to feedback.

Have you tried the telcel ftf from this link...its 2.3.3 but it should work.

Did you try holding back to go into flash mode?
I typed this by hand.
Hey there I've flashed a few rooms via cwm but never used flashtool but I decided I wanted to as I wanted the. 58 enhanced firmware but when I try and install the drivers for my phone it says it has installed them but its not in the drivers folder and when I try flash the ft it says drivers not installed
And I made sure I installed the correct ones :/

NXT 1.3 LE

Did you check in device manager to see if they need to be updated?... & also did you make sure to check flash & fastboot drivers at the bottom of the drivers selection menu...

first off, sorry this isnt in dev. i dont have the post count for it.
What do we need to do to return to stock SE rom after using the CM7 rom? do we need to restore the stock kernel with fastboot before using flashtool?
im asking this because currently with the CM7 kernel, flashtool just wont detect my play. i've tried on 3 different OS'. is this the cause or is it something else?
Thanks
Anyone? :/

Thanks.
The problem i have is flashtool wont detect my play, yet fastboot picks it up fine. im not sure if i've done something wrong, but since fastboot picks it up, i cant understand why flashtool doesn't.

I had this problem mate, you're not doing it right if youi're doing the same thing as me! To get into fastboot oyu hold the search key, to get into the flash mode, you hold the back key!
Hello
You can use your stock rom flash by you observe the following steps.
Flash Tool detects the r800i is not true.
therefore
firstly) Open Flash Tool and click on "FLASH"
second) pick the package that you want to flash -> R800i UK
thirdly) click on ok / flash and then you will appear on your phone the "BACK" button to connect with the computer should.
This program flashes the rom on the unknown phone (r800i)
Reboot and enjoy

Hello, i have an Xperia Play 2.3.3/3.0.1.A.0.145 Clean Bootloader locked version.
And i want to root it with this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
(And the unlocking bootloader way is not an option because i had a lot of problems with it and i can't flash anything with it)
anyway, the problem is when i plug my phone and the flashtool asks me what device i choose X10 (the first option)
then i choose the FW and select all the files and cleck flash.
and i fallow the instructions by unplugging my phone and hold the back button and plug it again.
So far so good, but when the flashing begins and start with the first file, this massage appears:
13/013/2011 05:13:49 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
13/013/2011 05:13:49 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
13/013/2011 05:13:49 - INFO - Then go to application settings
13/013/2011 05:13:49 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
And yes i did what the massage told me to do.
and i tried to flash so many times with no good.
so please help me or tell me what i'm doing wrong.
Are you using the beta version of flashtool? (think it's 2.9.1). It's the only one supporting the play. The reason I ask is I don't choose any phone when flashing I only have a x10 .exe when flashtool is extracted to my desktop
Regards Dousan...
When I go to use FlashTool, I get like 3 options as far as 'firmware'. Two X10 ones, and a 'Generic UK Xperia Play' one. The latter has about 8 or 9 different files in the pop-up column, while the other two only have like 2 files each. I think I'm supposed to flash the firmware that says Xperia Play UK Generic, correct?

Yes. And when it's done you root it with gingerbreak or any way you like. and finally you do OTA update.
Note: Your bootloader must be locked.

And my bootloader is more than likely going to be locked, right? I bought my XPlay by renewing my contract with Verizon.

If you didn't unlock it your self, Then it should be locked.
@ddsds it might be the file you're trying to flash that's corrupt or something, maybe a redownload will help. Have you installed the ggsetup.exe? You might also try deleting flashtool and re-extract it again?
This is how I proceed with flashing:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Start flashtool.
3. Hit flash button in program and wait for it to tell me to plug in phone.
4. Plug in phone - it flashes.
5. Turn on phone.
(first time I flashed I chose the fw file and I only have the UK generic for the play located in that folder wich I downloaded from a thread here on xda).
(make sure unknown sources and debugging is on)

Hi everyone, I recently tried to install a custom rom to my sony ericcson x10a running gingerbread 2.3.3. I sucessfully rooted my phone and installed busybox, but when I got to xrecovery, i couldnt install it. So I decided to flash my phone to 2.1. After a sucessful flash, I've been stuck at the Sony Ericsson boot screen. I tried using the Pc Companion but even if it does detect my phone, it gives me these instructions:
1. Drag the status bar downwards
2.Tab USB connected
3. Tap Mount
4. PC Companion will connect to the phone.
And without doing those instructions, it wont connect my phone and i cant do anything. Im like really new to all this and would really appreciated anyones input on my problem!
Thanks

There may be some options using latest flash tool. You can download it from one of the threads in the development section.
I am presuming you haven't used flash tool yet. That should also install xrecovery.
Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, I couldn't find anything on the latest flashtool, i think something is wrong with my loader on the phone. But it wont let me flash a new one, i go into flash mode when it asks me and then it magically disconnects and aborts the flash. Is there any other option for me?
Thanks m8
EDIT: My bad for not reading the thread title properly.
Anyways, what were you trying to flash? Can you give us the log of the flashing process?

The following is for those who have locked bootloaders ie :- NO fast/hotboot option available
needed :-
flashtool by androxyde needed to make all this possible can be downloaded from http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
flash 4.0.4.lt 15i generic fr ftf then use the kernal from the lt18i ics 4.0.3. flash only kernal so thats kernal sin loader sin only and dont wipe data or cash
full 4.0.3 lt18 562 ftf for kernal for rooting
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7JadydU6TBNElIYlVWTEhJVDg
then i used this to root the phone ROOT ICS: Use this script:-
http://ul.to/ia1eriso
to use the script on handset goto settings developer options top option tick the check box make sure your computer has already or is installing drivers for adb etc etc click the run me inside the package once u have extracted it to somewhere on your desktop or somewhere else u put it and thats it it will restart ur fone a few times and run the root for u theres nothing else to do sept sit down for 20 seconds
Installed clockwork mod using this

Then i flashed this
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip *** THIS CAN BE SKIPPED IF WANTED ***
from

then back to flashtool by androxide to reflashed the 4.0.4 stock kernal remember to not wipe user data and casch and kept rooted on locked bootloader
thanks to evry 1 hear and to those who made the original packeges i made nothing i just played around with it a bit if i was helpfull pleas press thanks
tried and tested i have 2 arcs and it worked on both
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR U DAMAGING YOUR PHONE DOING THIS =) BUT IV HAD NO PROBLEM AS OF YET ***SEE NEXT POST ***
edit *** Originally Posted by codestation View Post

Or for an easyer method try this basicly following the same thing just made easyer by http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4562324 located http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957
i got the idea to try this from this thread originaly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680222
so id look there at my rants b4 trying this
*** if your on stock ics from pc companion just flash the 403 kernal root fone with one click then flash back the 404 kernal for arc ***
** rants the 403 kernal makes phone stop the xperia option in settings will dissaper keyboard fc etc etc,,, some free aps will seem like they dont have full root they do just some features only available on paid apps £££ support ur devs and buy them =) ***
*** flashing the 4.0.4 generic fr ftf is optional as fear as i know i only say to use that 1 as it was the only 1 available at the time i did this and is the only one that i have tried personaly as different regional firmware becomes available i will try them myself but if u have a different ftf file than the one i used i think it should be safe to use as from what iv been reading in other root threads ie xperia pro arc s etc they all seem to be following the same steps i did to root with locked bootloads and dont apperar to make any difference =)
*** as mentioned i found that the 2nd root package doesnt need to be done however i found that it was a little quicker to respond to apps than the other this one popps up with 8 secs left to press button but other i found to be a little laggy even after an update from market poping up after like 4 secs of pressing root apk request with only 3 seconds left to choose grant/deny,
2 other things i found with the french 4.0.4 there was an apn stored in there via default and if u try to delete or edit it or discard it then got to home screen and try to go back to apn's it crashes settings however i was still able to make calls recieve n send text go on webb via mobile currier but had emergency calls displayed in the quick panel
the other was when selecting network it takes some time loading them and if u press on the screen b4 it brings any network up it will just send u bk to the previous screen having to start the whole thing again lol well anoying best to just wait or ajust screen time out maybe ?? easy solution
instalation ov busy box seems optional m not linking any to the thread tho there are several available on the market choose ur own preferance =)
Thanks, Worked well for me. Phone is rooted now with locked boot loader.
