My Xperia play won't start

Hello,
I've rooted my xperia play a few weeks ago, no problem.
But this morning a system update poped up, and I started it, and my xperia play went off, en doesn't start anymore
I've tried flasher, it works, till it has been flashed, and I have to disconnect my xperia play with the computer, hold the on button and plug it again in, it doesn't start.
Can anyone help me please?

Sounds like you might have to flash a new firmware. I am by no means an expert with the play but check the dev section for flashing a new image.
Or, call your carrier and let them know that their update bricked your phone.

I had my xperia play rooted, and I had app planet on my phone,
Doesn't have that any consequence?

Have you unlocked your bootloader when rooting?
Regards Dousan...

Yeah, I think so, is that a problem?

This might sound insulting and is not directed at you in any derogatory manner.
Is the battery charged?

Well I take you haven't unlocked your bootloader cause that would be a procedure you would remember doing.
If you used gingerbreak to root your bootloader is not unlocked.
You would have needed your imei no. and an unlock key from SE and fastboot commands to unlock your bootloader and flash a rooted FW

I had needed those think you said, imei no. unlock key etc.
So I think I have unlocked my bootloader
But when I want to update my xperia play from the pc, it says:"The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated."
Is there any possible way that I could unbrick my xperia play, ore should I just return it to the shop I bought it?

So you did a **** load of searching to find out how to unlock your bootloader & root but completely skipped the many threads stating that UPDATING WITH AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL BRICK YOUR XPERIA PLAY?!
Epic fail.

I see, afaik there's no fix that totally unbricks it. You can make it boot again but it will brake the radio. So no phone functions, calls, sms and such will not work.
You could read through this thread there's some help to get here and I think one or two gas restored there phone completely with this thread.

If you can't revive it just take it back, but don't say you rooted it nor unlocked the bootloader.

you can rescue your play at the expence of your radio using this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056094, as it stands we have no radio.img's to flash so i dont know how long it will be before you can restore it totally

If I take it back, what must I say to the company?

Just say the battery died & it won't turn back on.
A word of warning though, one poster on here took his back which was sent for repair & returned with a note saying that they were unable to repair it.

He means that one guy got it back non repaired, most people just gets a replacement and he had modified FW on his phone and did as you did, updated after unlocking bootloader and flashing rooted FW.
I wouldn't worry, just tell them what deadlydazza said or that it died under an update, wich is what happened. Just leave out anything about rooting and unlocked bootloader, cause it did void your warranty.

+1 that sounds like a good idea

[tool] xt1096_5.0_lxe22.46.11 auto flasher

Hey guys I have made a simple script that allows you to flash back the stock (non root, non modified) 5.0_LXE22.46.11 system for the XT1096!!!

"lightbox_next": "Next",

This is good for mofo users who need to restore their phones back to stock unrooted system.
THIS IS ONLY FOR XT1096 USERS!!! Verizon Moto x 2014's
Originally you have to flash all 9 sparse chunks using fastboot to get the stock system back on the phone. Well this tool just runs through all 9 automatically. Also I included the options to factory reset the phone (userdata and cache wipe) and reboot the phone after your done.
Make sure you have the Moto X drivers installed. If not download and install Motorola Device manager. Boot your phone into bootloader mode and plug into computer. Make sure you phone is charged over 20%.
Download the archive, unzip and double click run the "RUN ME TO FLASH STOCK!!!" bat file. Choose a number and let the script automate everything for you.

Thanks I just used this works perfectly to flash back to stock without losing data. Software status: OFFICIAL

Much better than typing out the lines each time. I am lazy lol.

Did you do anything in particular to get the status back to official? I tried this on mine last night with no luck.

Do you mean the software status official? Or changing the modified software status in BootLoader from modified to official?
if you mean the bootloader, this will not change it from modified to official. This just flashes the official stock lollipop system.

Can I use this to go back to 5.0 from the latest OTA?
I went to the official OTA from Verizon and wanted to get root again.
Would it brick me to run this to get back to 5.0 stock?

If you took the 5.1 OTA, then you are now on the 5.1 bootloader. The exploit that MoFo relies on was closed in the 5.1 bootloader and so MoFo no longer works for your device. There is no way to downgrade from the 5.1 bootloader to the 5.0 bootloader.
All this will do is downgrade your system but your bootloader will stay on 5.1 and MoFo does not work if you are running the 5.1 bootloader.

Not sure if you know about it, but your phone is basically showpiece from showrooms or shops, that's the X in your version number. This kind of phones are not intended to be sold for customers.
You will never got more updates as you already have, so your only option is to flash it manually.
Bootloop problem is not dependant on software version. It doesn't matter if you have 5.1 or 6.0.

Do you have an accurate source to backup your wild claims?
My EU (UK) H815 v20d-EUR-XX is currently downloading the update.
No need for a manual flash and my device certainly was not a store demo model.

Hello,
My G4 is unlocked and ROOTED and the update is available and in downloading atm.
There are something I should to know about the fact that my smartphone ROOTED evening before applying the update?
Could this affect my G4?
Thank you! =D

Sure,
We are not talking about the same thing.
Look again, and maybe twice at his version number: It's is VX10c-EUR-XX
I'm not talking about XX, but about the first "X"... see?
Sure, your device is the same as mine v20d-EUR-XX which is a retail model, but this is not the case for VX10C-EUR-XX which is unfortunately a demo model

Ok, finally, it seems that I can't update automatically with a G4 ROOTED.
When I launch the update this message pop "phone restarting"
Then boot directly on TWRP... (>_<)
So obviously I can't execute this update automatically... :'(

Off you can't. You have another recovery. Use LG UP and flash it. Easier can't be. Note you will lose root and the recovery.

Same. Luckily, they seem to have deleted the update so you need to redownload. At least we don't have 500MB lurking somewhere.

Go to thread about the Portugal update and download the KDZ from there. Any link from that thread is the international H815 update. Don't worry about countries and shenanigans is the same firmware for all. V20g-EUR-XX. Install LG UP on your PC. First the DLL then the program. Place the KDZ in your LG UP install directory (Crogram Files (x86)/LG Electronics/LGUP/model/8994). Put your phone in download mode. (With phone turned off press Volume UP and with it press plug in the USB cable). Click refurbished option for a complete wipe and clean flash. Before all this make a backup. You can also select upgrade option to avoid wipe but I always recommend a clean flash. Read the according threads in XDA for further information if you need.

It seems the h818p will not be updated(yet)?

@src151 thanks for the info. I didn't knew that demo phones can have the GSM module. At least I got it at a very good price
I will upgrade manually then.

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.

GSI is not recommanded, above all on a new device without a knowed tools for Unbrik / Reset default rom/settings if you encounter problem.
I advise to you just waiting, time to know when / how this device can be brick/unbrick, if it's free (Like Odin for Samsung or MSM for old OnePlus [from OP 10 it's now paid lol !) or paid (like EDL mode Xiaomi)

Somebody needs to make a tool in order to shrink the comically large status bar and remove the ugly google search bar on home screen

It's premature to say whether this is possible or not, as the Phone(1) was released only 5 days ago.
But knowing Carl, I think that everything will be allowed on this smartphone so that it can be used by many people.
It will be necessary to wait a little before having a personalized recovery and thus being able to develop around the Phone(1).

No. Even in old OnePlus unlock bootloader don't void warranty.
Only desimlock a device is not legal/void warranty on a lot country.
Also SAMSUNG devices have warranty void when Knox is 0x1 (Root once, never retrieve 0x0 even after relock/install untouched/genuine rom)
