Hi. Need help guys. I rooted the phone on firmware 55, and then was going to update it to 402 then it all failed. Flashtool won't go beyond this point: Processing of loader.sin finished.

Also tried to flash 402, same thing happens..

I thought I had 6503 :S But Is that so bad? I dont know what is the difference. But if 6502 dont have 4G, and 6503, does have 4G, then my phone is 6503. Because I had 4G, but PC Companion says I have 6502.. I honestly dont know where I did go wrong.
Edit: I just flashed a 6502 ftf. It worked.
Edit again: Now PC companion says I have a 6503..

I flashed a 6502 ftf. To get it working. Then a 6503. I think I might have forgot to uncheck the TA on flashtool, when rooting and upgrading from 55/69 firmware. Just a dumb move by me..
It is working now. The beast is working

I opened this thread collecting all the necessary information found on XDA
to make the search for the best tools to use, without having to search many threads, post etc.etc.,
I myself had many problems with my Arc after trying the root of my device ..... I'm crazy for two days to read and find solutions ..I'm newbie on Android
of course I also thank the help of many people who sent me this ...
all you will find in this thread, it is not my material, but as mentioned, are guides found on xda
That said, if you have problems of stuck your Arc after making changes as root etc.etc. here's what you should do:
(Original guide for use Flashtool)
1. Download FlashTool Beta Version 0.2.9.1 here: Original Thread
2. Download ROM for your Arc(File .TFT):make sure you have the correct ROM for your model
3. Open the folder you extracted FlashTool to and place the ROM in the "firmware" folder.
4. Open "X10FlashTool.exe" and click the FLASH button.
5. The Arc firmware you put in the "firmware" folder should show up and be selected. Click OK.
6. Now just follow the on screen instructions and it will do the rest for you.
That's all
N.B:
List ROM .TFT:
LT15i_3.0.A.2.181_Global_Customized.tft
LT15i_3.0.A.2.184_Generic_UK.ftf
for other ROM, we will try to update the thread
I hope this thread will be useful ...
If the moderators feel are unnecessary, they can delete it without problems
Any chance of anyone posting standard software here so we have something to back to if needed? I'm still looking for the standard UK Orange branded software.
Cheers

some people got phones not booting, bricked, after Ota updates. That thread describes how these Play models have been flashed with flashtool, renaming simlock.ta to presets.ta in the ftf file.

this for people that have Arc simlock??'it's right??
erm....flashtool did not detect rom in the firmware folder
may be because you didn't extract it. file must be .ftf .....not zip or other!
confirm..... be sure to added file .tft in folder firmware and not file .zip or other

You might not have use the flash mode of the arc, turn off your phone then unplug from usb, then hold the back button then plug the usb device.

Hi! I just got my xplay a month or two ago, and my last phone was a iphone. As such, stepping from the relatively easier to handle ios to android system's not exactly a piece of cake...
And I still have a couple questions despite lurking in this forums for a while...
1) im running 2.3.2 , rooted with gingerbreak. I heard there's an improvement in battery life.. so im quite tempted to update, but the thought of bloatware coming back kind of scares me.. ._.
So should I update?
2) is unlocked or locked bootloader better?
3) finally, will there be a final or complete version of cm7?
Also, would be great if anyone could explain what is an OTA and kernel...
Thanks!
1) its up to you, it is possible to upgrade with root as long as you have any model except a r800 x
2) I dont think either is better just depends on what you want to do to your phone
3) It depends what you mean by complete. There will probably be a stable version that is better than the stock rom eventually, but im not a dev
Ota means "over the air" and a kernel if im not mistaken is the part of the phone responsible for managing sysyem resources and the like. Not that I know much about anything and I could be wrong lol

This will be my second numbered answer today. Anyway:
1) What model do you have? I assume it's an r800i or r800a. If it is, I would head over to the development section and check out how to get the UK generic firmware on your phone without unlocking the boot loader. I did that, rooted it, then updated to 2.3.3 and removed a lot of bloat and it's good to go now.
2) I have unlocked the boot loader on every Android I've owned, but I haven't on this phone. I wouldn't until development takes off a little bit more. It will soon, but I probably won't even do it then, personally.
3) Yes, we have great people working on it. It's progressing majorly with each update.
Just next time search before posting...nah, I'm just kidding. Welcome to Android.

OTA means you are updating the firmware on your phone through your phone over wifi.
If you didn't remove the boats you can still do it by pressing the software update button on your phone. Just make sure that your bootloader is is still LOCKED.

Thanks guys! I'll try to flash the firmware on my phone after I get home from school. my xplay is a r800i. Also, if I use the UK firmware and update to 2.3.3, will it affect my ability to update to 2.3.4 as I live in Singapore?
No, when 2.3.4 comes out it would probably be available to generic uk before any other versions. As long as you freeze and not remove boats, you would be able to ota update to 2.3.4

Oh my god.. I didnt enable debugging and the process stopped halfway.. now the phone displays an exclaimation mark next to a phone.. did i just brick my phone? ...
EDIT : googled around and now im trying to restore my phone via SEUS...
Ok.. my phone started up fine after running SEUS.. but I clicked restore to factory instead of update..
I want to try updating to 2.3.3 with root again.. So can anyone point out anything I did wrong the previous time?
1. I downloaded the generic UK version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119074) and flashtool 0.2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746)
2. I used flashtool and flashed the .tft file and followed the onscreen instructions...
3. the flashing stops halfway cause i didnt enable usb debugging (?) and it causes my phone to be unable to boot up and trauma for me for panicking for 30 minutes. ._.
I tried flashing again with USB debugging on..?
My version is now 2.3.3 after I restored with SEUS, however.

It might be that you're not using the latest version of flashtool, it's 0.2.9.1 and it's the beta one and afaik it's the only one to support the play.

Man. That's crazy. I have no idea what to do. Hopefully you can get it.
When flashing, have you ticked the 'erase data' (I'm not sure it's the exact name) or are you flashing without erasing? Cus it looks like that's where the error occurs when it's supposed to flash the data?

Did you install the Sony software from your phone first?
Mine needed it to get the drivers. It said it had errors but I let it go for a while and it finished no problem.

Yes, that is not valid anymore. Follow this guide.
if i understand that correctly, since there isnt a guide, I download the flash tool, then download x10a Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435 (MD5 : 0C67A08A4B120EBA87E395865F431E81), and then use flashtool to flash that onto my phone.. something like that?

Repair using SEUS and try again. Also, you need to run SEUS or PCC at least once to install the drivers for proper flashing.
OK, so i've successfully flashed into a generic firmware, then used SEUS to install the latest 2.1 release with dual touch... then used titanium backup to restore everything I had, and it seems to work just as it did, with the addition of being unbranded.
cant wait for GB now.
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 - 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)

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:

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.

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.

Again, good luck amd let us know if you save your XP or need more help.

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

Ps. I locked the bootloader and PC Companion fix it

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.
