Hello,
I just wanna ask you guys on how to un-brick my SE Xperia Play, i unlocked my bootloader using the SE tutorial and i wanna know if i "Re-lock" the bootloader, will the SE Companion fix this ? I used the Flashtool to install a rom on the phone but during the flash the program got stuck at 34% for about 2 hours and then my laptop battery died, do you think i can fix this ? When i power on the phone i see the "Sony Ericsson" and after that a little icon with a phone and a ! sign, then the phone goes off.
Thanks!

Can you still get into fastboot mode? If so then just reflash with a rom via ftf and flashtool.

If you have not download and installed Flashtool to your PC here is the site:
http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1357833651000
Find your ftf file for your device and use flashtool to flash it to your phone, once its done you should be golden and have a working device again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
Make sure to save the ftf file int the flashtool folder and I would recommend extracting the and installing the flashtool file to your desktop or someplace easy to find....
If you got more questions .....yeah leave them here... Good Luck

I'll try this when i get home, at work now I'll keep you updated.. If my phone was made in Germany, and i had the firmware update to *.*.A.*.69, will this still work ? And can you tell me what tft should i download ? Does it have to be a German one ?

As my current device is CDMA, I cant say for certain but, someone correct me if I am wrong, you should be able to flash any ftf... just realize that if you flash say Hong Kong you will not have German language, you will have obviously Cantonese, Mandarin, English......
Let me take a look:
Edit:
OK, so if I were you I would take a look at the following:
From johnnzey
R800i - 4.0.2.A.0.62
From Xperia4life
R800i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic UK and this mirror for it
I would say either of those two should be good (taken from the FTF link I posted earlier) Then again I like to experiment so I would probably go with different FTF files just to mess with stuff.
In regards to the .69.. looks like its the same as .62. So its up to you. Actually if I were you I would probably just flash my device with the R800i 4.0.2.A.0.62, just to at least get your device back in working order.
Also if you are having issues getting the fastboot drivers to work on your computer you can download the unlock tool from Wotan Server and it installs all the files, at least I have been told it will.
Wotan Server Download Link:

Thanks for all the info you provided me.. I'll try this at home, until then.. THANKS !!!
Ps. I don't rly need German as a language on the phone, i'm in Romania, the phone came with a German ROM.. i was just wondering if i need the original german one..
Just one more thing, when i use Flashtool and select the ROM, do i need to check/uncheck anything like "Bootloader", "Kernel" ... Should i leave all of them to be installed ?
Thanks !
Edit: Stuck at 19% ... I don't really know what to do

Awesome, good to know you saved your PLAY. Generally if you are updating and it fails, flashtool and fastboot are your best friend. On a side note I would keep the flashtool files, FTF file copied to a seperate place for emergencies.. I leave my stuff on box.com (Xperia play users get 50gb free) or my D-H.st account.

Well, I managed to update the firmware of my X10 but I've a little problem.
When I start the device, it shows an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. Then I tried to update it one more time and SEUS says that I have the most actual firmware, even changing the files to make the unbranding. I would like to know if there is a method to force SEUS to update from those files and skip all the checks. Any suggestions?
I recommend you to just go to the sony ericsson service center to get your phone unbricked. Or maybe you can use the davinciteam debranding service to unbrick your phone but it costs 10 euros.
Just flash the davinciteam's firmware and it would work I guess.
Anyway I went to the service center and told then that my phone could not start after I did an update.

Well, I suppose that there is another way to solve this problem. Something like forcing the program like what Davinci does but made by us.
I did it once yesterday and paid 10euro to davinci to bring my x10lives.
But i heard from other chinese post that people debranded their phone to x10a and can't flash it back to original version and they now got a solution to flash it back to original version by replacing the edited jar file in plugins folder to force update button appear in SEUS.
I have no idea will it works the same way on your case or not i can upload the file to let u give it a try but before that can you try a few things for me. Try press different combination key(eg. cameria button+ volume up... ect) when your screen showing is yellow ! to see will there be any words showing up.

First of all, tnx for the info.
No words apearing at screen, at least on my x10, and I tried several times but no result. No words too, pressing different combination of keys during boot(before vibration).
Finally I send my device to SAT they will make the durty job I expect! (I'll have to pay 25 euros just for updating... but they will bring it back to life)
Cheers and thanks a lot one more time for your time spend!
PD: I realise that jar files could work perfectly in order to force SEUS, that's what people is doing, isn't it?
Anyone find out how to force SEUS to update??
Try flashing the stock 2.1 rom posted by bin4ry that will fix your problem for sure

With PC Companion, even if it tells you that the phone has the latest firmware, you can choose to update anyway so it reflashes the phone with the latest firmware
You can use Binary's tools for update and downgrade. This post is quite old...

It doesn't show that always, incase if that happens you can reboot your computer and try it with SEUS/PC Companion one after one.
If you have problem with the update via SEUS because it says that you have the latest update and wont lets you reinstall the OS, you should try the following
1. Go Here and download the .504 version and flash it via flash tool.
2. Boot your phone and finish the settings wizard.
3.Shut it down
4. Run SEUS and update to .435
I hope that helps for any upcoming problems.

He should be able to just download .435 and flash it with Flashtool.
update your seus or try flashing back to fw .435
To update with SEUS whatever firmware you are running:
Do not attach phone to PC.
Open PC companion on desktop, click support zone, then software update. Will pop up a window with a message saying could not find phone, with an underscored repair phone option. Click this and follow steps including selecting phone model (x10 obviously!). Then attach phone while powered off and holding back key when prompted. SEUS will then wipe your phone and install stock firmware. Done this 3 times as fiddle with my system files far too much and have bootlooped my x10 many times!!!!!
Hope this helps

What is debrand? i thought it was called rooting. I need the easiest and something that wont mes up my phone. easy meaning i can understand each step because i dont know some of the stuff that i have to do. cause in the youtube videos it was confusing
Id suggest you to install pc companion on the main sony ericsson site and update from there it is the safest way!
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
debrand is basically leaving the phone like if it's factory reset and if it just came out from the factory
worths cause you won't wait that much for any update as if you were using a branded fw
take a look to this http://www.youtube.com/user/bluechipj
will help you to install the newest fw
remember debranding the phone will wipe all the data so make sure you make a backup 1st

cause your fw depends on your carrier
debrand your x10 it worths
It's pretty straightforward.
- Install Sony Ericsson Update Service: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
- Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
[required since they install drivers on your computer]
- Download and extract the graphical flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
- Download the X10a generic firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467 (2.1.A.0.435)
Flash.
Watch the videos for step by step.
Rooting = enabling programs to access the system (e.g. Titanium Backup, Barnacle WiFi Tether, etc.)
Debranding = removing carrier logo, apps, disabled options (2G, Unknown Sources, etc.)
Unlocking = use other carrier's SIMs
All three are separate, independent, and optional.

Ok i need to make sure i get this right. Firts i download flash tool, then i download the x10a generic update, then i open the flash thing an click flash, then i wait until it says put phone in flash mode and then click flash again, and then after that it is done?
I have a question on this last step
IMPORTANT:
- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!
What does that mean or what do i have to do?

Hello everyone!!
I want if anyone can help me to unbrick xperia x8!!
My phone stucked in SE logo...
I m trying with this flash tool:

i need firmwares of x8.. 2.1 or 1.6
.ftf extension files..
i downloaded them, but they are in .zip file ..
most of them extensions are .sin .
So i need an .ftf file, which is 2.1 or 1.6 ..
where i can find them? or creating them by those i dowloaded here:

repair it through PCCompanion, if it doesn't recognize your phone, unplug the phone from PC click repair in PCC and follow the instruction, don't worry u don't need to do all that things
Your phone is not bricked just stuck in boot loop.
Just repair your phone using SEUS
google it if you don't know what it is.
Flash tool needs .sin files only unless I am mistaken( I have an old version of flash tool)
And post these questions in general forum next time.
Sent from my X8
the phone its my girlfriend.. and she freaked out!
i made an .ftf file similar to x10, but with x8 files..
and i m curently trying to flash the firmware with the flashtool of b1nary..
i think the process stucked btw..
i will wait a bit more.
i cant do it with pc companion because the phone has to be turned on before seet it to bootloader ..
SEUS can do this?
EDIT: the phone now after the SE logo, has a warning triangle and a phone next to it.. :S :S
Do it with SEUS - Sony Ericsson Update Service. You turn on the program, choose your device, download OS (automatic) and then it asks you to flash your device, so there's no need of turning it on whatsoever
many thanks, all of you guys.. i m just a noob..
PC Companion didn't let me..
But SEUS did it!! The phone started okay!!!
I thought the SEUS was the same with PC companion..
Many many thanks
mods, erase the whole thread if you like, but please put in a little corner, of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921652
that if we stuck on SE logo, just use SEUS instead of PC companion!

Pc companion can fix it with the repair option (somebody already told it). I had the same problem and that was how i fix it.
Sorry for saying this but the are 3-4 topics with exactly the same question in the general of x8.
Search a little and the post. You will find an answer faster too this way.

then flash it.
done.

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.

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)

And can't do OTA update, Because if i did i will end up with 4.0.A.2.368.
And so far it's unrootable
Hi Guys,
My cousin got his hands on C6903 from an online retailer in Dubai and he sent me a screenshot of his customization screen and its 1277-2880 Global LTE. He doesnt know how to create an FTF file, I tried to help him out but no use.
Can anybody try to change his customization in build.prop and try to download this Global LTE version? I tried it already but my build.prop doesnt update after a reboot for some reason
UPDATE 1:
Managed to successfully download this version from SUS. Its supports Arabic and Farsi languages
I am currently uploading the ftf file, will update this thread with the link once its complete
UPDATE 2:
Link is up!

This is the tool to flash that FTF, link: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
All information how to do it they are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328
I give you just few tips: Turn off your phone, keep pushing volume down and connect to PC, let Windows install the drivers, hold all the time volume down, open Flashtool, put first the FTF in folder of the flashtool, click on flash in flashtool, select the right FTF, click wipe data,cahe,appslog and uncheck everything else. Flash, when you see the first percent of the progress on green bar you can leave the button volume down. This will wipe all your data on the phone.
Perfect

Another Story, to flash the file which you downloaded today you have to use Flashtool and the phone have to be in Flashmode (Volume Down + Connect USB to PC, remember?). The language is implemented in that FTF so when you will turn on your phone the first screen will be of the language you want to use and there will be the Arabic. Like on the pictures posted by OP in first post.
Great
