Hi All,
Im gonna keep it simple.
**I'll start with the story of what exactly happened to my Xperia play so that who so ever has bricked their play unfortuantely by the same way can relate.
I unlocked bootloader, rooted my fone, deleted the useless sony crap and unrooted.....Then did a update over the edge connection thru fone only, it downloaded a software and started installing it, the fone switched off but never came back.
So i tried installing the UK generic formware almost 4-5 times, not realising that its gone now(bricked).
Gave the phone a try with diff patches made thru the uk firmware, no luck.
Sent the play to Sony ppl, it came back after 2 weeks.....unrepaired....i still dont know what all they tried..????
So all the good work done by ppl here came to my rescue, installed the loader.sin and preset.ta from Blagus, fone came on, but yes the issue with sim was still there.
e
I saw a funny thing tho even without the sim, the phone on the status bar showed full signals but no sim was there..i laughed on it for a minute...
then....came back home, just did a factory reset after 30 mins after making the fone come back to life.
I will confirm the after method to unbrick radio very soon, i have messaged some of the radio bricked owners here(pm), waiting for them to /reply/try something depending on their fone's status, I just hope it works and when it does il make it official here.
**started this thread here, so if not now we can still try something to get it worked***
If you need tester I'm on and if you fix my phone I'll donate to you !
I've also try ervery possiblities, for now .... but the only one working is fastgsm method ...

Thankx for support, but i aint working here for donation, just trying to help, by the tweak that i found...
if all fails, im trying to lay hands on a sony tool that will work for sure, something on platform like fastgsm using credits, il share that with you all, so everyone can benefit...
**edit** I did not relock the bootloader until i got the radio working...
I can post a video of my phone..."working"....
Very willing to be ur tester as well. Just let me know wat to do.
I'll love to support you too.
Thanks to everyone who have been patient and tried all the methods i suggested, but it is strange howcome my fone get back to life while others cant.
Im gonna share some custom packages(to maybe 1-2 guys, i dont want others to fall into trouble by bricking their fone again) that i applied on bricked play before sending it to Sony Service centre which even they cudnt figure out and return the phone unrepaired, now i did the same on play what i suggested most of you on PM's and got my fone back..
here's what my device now shows.
I haven't given up, so i will keep trying as u all are....
Bricked my phone today while flashing different system images~ now it cant connect to the o2 network here~
would ya share your method?

flashing differnt system images doesnt brake your radio permanent. Just flash a FULL rom and you should be good again.
Regards
where is the rom...
m facing the same issue...network bars full with out the sim...no damn roms available...
hey guys
any new for us poor guys with plays but with broken radios?
Steps for unbricking:
step 1: brick phone via unlocked bootloader and root then OTA update.
step 2: phone won't boot (black screen) put phone into recovery (hold back button, plug in USB, see green light)
step 3: flash blagus' relock bootloader script
step 4: flash generic UK firmware (not sure if it has to be this one, pretty sure it can be anything)
step 5: boot phone and setup... everything is working now.
Not sure if this was common knowledge, but its how I got my phone fixed.

Is the UK firmware generic to the point where if I were to root a Xplay bought from HongKong and root it with the UK firmware, everything will still work?
The generic firmware should work for R800i and R800a models.

well thats cool if that does the trick for u
but i THINK my prob is different
i was once stuck with a bricked phone but then there was a way to get the phone to boot up but without radio function eg making fone calls
and i have been stuck in this state for over 2 months now and so have a few other people,
i think your situation may be different because your phone was just bricked and didnt have the radio function broken via the quick fix method.
things are abit different now and if i would of bricked my fone now there are ways to unbrick it with out breaking the radio.
unless someone has tried this method and it has worked? (who has broken radio like me)
Oooh ok, yes the circumstances are very different. Mine was a total writeoff and I didn't quick fix it.
If I ever get into that position and work it out, I'll report back.

help please bricked my phone. can't flash a firmware with flashtool.

I can't re-unlock bootloader after relocking it to try seus or pc companion
Hi all...
I saw this thread already on other forums, but there was not enough detail to explain the trouble, so this topic.
I am affraid there is a trouble on some devices when you update to 2.3.4 (GENERIC GLOBAL) then downgrade to 2.3.2 (GENERIC GLOBAL) with the reason of ROOT them, battery looks dead, but is not.
I saw on the forum in two different devices already, and yesterday it happened to me as well.
So I tell you what I've done, and I really hope there will be a solution.
- my phone (MT15i) shown me a message, that there is a new software available. I wanted to try how is that, so I made a system backup, relocked the bootloader and then I updated via SEUS. Everything was fine, with it, except that little problem, that I wanted my baby to be rooted.
- downgraded to 2.3.2 (GENERIC GLOBAL) via SE Flashtool 2.9.1, to complete the GingerBreak treathment (I've done this due to the locked bootloader)
- GingerBreak has been successfuly completed, phone restarted, battery were on 0%, I knew this can be normal, so I switched off, removed the battery for 1 min and restarted.
- And the nightmare began: THE BATTERY STAYS ON 0% and the phone goes off. If I plug the device to the mains, stays on, looks like is charging, but it does not.
I've tryied other battery same issue. I tried my batteries in other NEO, the were perfectly fine.
Funy is, I unlocked the bootloader again, and I can do any operation with my phone like such a ClockWork Recovery or flashing it, but I can not start the ANDROID O/S a without mains.
Please guys help me, and those who have the same experience with Arc/Neo/X10.
Many many thanks.
Remove battery, and put it back after 10 minutes.
I have tried even for two hours. Nothing changed, same issue, but thank you anyway..
Also "battery calibration etc battery stats wipe?
Yes my friend. All of these things I tried. Even reflashed sytem and boot images with fastboot (I guess this has nothing to do with bootloader, but I gave a try)... No changes..
broken bootloader, search this forum...
Enough information is on these forums about rooting without needing to relock the bootloader, like RootXperia method.
That very day there was not solution yet for the latest S/W update about rooting it. But I already tried many solution I can find here, but there is no luck.
Your problem, but your spreading false information. Rooting method has been available before 2.3.3 and is same for all FWs
No matter which FW you have anyone can root if they have unlocked bootloader, just get RootXperia.zip and install via recoveryNeo.img
Search
Yeah, the thing is, I wanted to relock my bootloader, and doing the OTA update. From 2.3.2 to 2.3.4. Please read what I wrote again. And that time I did not found anything about rooting the 2.3.4.
Cheers

Yeah i've rooted all my FWs with RootXperia.zip
OTA is if you have locked bootloader, the whole method of going back to 2.3.2 is to not unlock bootloader and get root. To go through that with already unlocked bootloader is like going around when you could go straight.
The reports of, oh wait... this is not the first time OTA bricks phones. Wasn't it with 2.3.3 Arc update as well. So why do people fall to same trap?
Really there's enough relevant information on Arc forum, read up before doing something you don't need to do. It's a phone so thrashing around with flashing in any random way will end with bricked phones. It's your fault for not reading up and thinking well. SE might do something stupid with all these people bricking their phones in ways and for a reason they should not.... for customer protection. That would suck for us all.

I can confirm is not bootloader problem
Maybe is something with trim area.
This can be fixed but if you have warranty is better to send it to SE
Anyway if someone want to try this method to repair the trim area please contact me by PM.
Also anyone with working locked or unlocked NEO I need some trim area backups to acn repair others phones.
Please if you want to help send me a PM, the backup process is as easy as connect in flashtool by pressing back key

Rember this was my same problem Raoa,, you told me to reflash with a difernt ftf file,,, problem was fixed there and then,,,
Sent from my MZ604 using xda premium
I am not so certain it is the exact same situation, Kormatoes. IF it's not a bootloader problem then I don't know what it is.
IF this would be fixed as easily as flashing a full working FW... well worth a try, nonetheless.
It is not a randomly flashing around and I DO WANTED my bootloader to be relocked and not open it again.. I used to flash my phone without any problem. I never had any problem repair anything. Since SonyEricsson and then Xperia exists, I know what to do with them if they are sick. I had enough experience, and I know you can find solutions on the forum, this is why you can see that from my posting history, that since I am member of XDA, never had stupid questions. I knew what to do when phone was bricked because of unlocked bootloader+over the air update. It is a simple accident that can happen to anyone. And here I asked for solution not for meaningless words, where some people try to show how brilliant and perfect they are. This is a development website, we are here to help for eachother or on those who needs help. So please stop to sue anyone, and help or please just do not reply for threads that you think is stupid, moderators/operators will deal with those. Just keep the rules of the website.
BTW, this MUST be a software problem, as I tested the battery, works perfectly in other devices, the phone is all okay about the 'elctrovise'
As I saw this on ARC's forum as well, this happened there in same way: Update to 2.3.4 then downgrade to any of the previous S/W versions, caused this. So I think this situation will incrase soon, this why I thing we need to find a solution as well. I normally working with Linux/ubuntu laptops. I had simular issue, but then was just the battery. Now... I dont know.

Hi,
I bought my neo just a month ago and I got an indication for a new update available for my phone yesterday. I did a FOTA and my phone just stopped booting.When I press the power button all I get is a blinking green light, nothing on screen.
I had unlocked my neo a while ago.
I tried flashing it to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global version. Still nothing.
I have tried SEUS and PC companion. My phone gets detected but they say i have a modified software and thats it.
Please help me, it hurts having lost a month old phone......
Thanks in advance
Well i got my phone up and running.....
For those who are still struggling check out the following link.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324707
First of all , if your bootloader is unlocked-RELOCK IT.
After that , try flashing the stock firmware or use SEUS.
That's how i got my NEO V up and running.
No harm in trying the same method with NEO.

Yes, try this! It should work! If there are news just tell us!
When people go to bootloader unlock their phones, do they completely miss the prominent warning or what?
Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum.

Hi all,
I have looked for a similar post, I found out that many people experienced something like that trying unlocking their phones, but I haven't found out any solution.
Here is my situation:
I have tried to unlock my s5830 (orange spain carrier), I have used a method which it seems to be dangerous for the phone, but of course I have found out it was dangerous after I have already tried it
Anyway after I discovered the unlock number contained in the perso.txt file in the efs folder, my phone restarted without service once and after that it went in a bootloop mode, it goes on a download mode, but there is no way to get back recovery mode or a normal boot.
I flashed the s5830 several times with many firmware, but no one worked, and the phone is still stuck in an infinite loop, in which I am not even able to see the samsung logo coming out at the very beginning.
I know many phones got bricked in this way, I wanted to know if anybody has been able to recover the phone or if anybody know any possible solution.
And if not, do you know if the warranty is covering this problem? I just got the phone a couple months ago; i have unlocked other devices before, but this is the first time I have experienced a problem so I am quite new about warranty as well. Please HELP ME
Merry Christmas guys!!!
Thanks in advance

with the cellphone off, put out ur baterry for a minute, then maintain ur finger into the volume down button and the power button tell a friend or if u can alone insert the batery while quickly pressing volume down and power button to get into download mode, and flash.
Hehehe,bootloop is horrible,you just have to get in download mode & flash with 2.3.4 firmware with Odin,just that steps and you save your SGA.
I got bootloop many times and Odin saved me.

If you can go to recovery mode than you can just wipe the data and cache. This saved me many times. Otherwise on what ever OS you may be , just create new user name after removing samsung android drivers. Login from new user name and than re install drivers again and now flash your phone from firmware which was installed on your phone before you bricked it. This helped me a few times.

It seems that you've already received a lot of help for unbricking your device. So I'll try to help out in unlocking your phone after you finished unbricking it.

thank you very much I will follow your advice...IF I will be able to get my phone back which seems impossible =(
@dr_vishal
Thank you first of all, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the android device driver, but it doesn't seems to be the problem, Odin ends with a "PASS" at the end, I guess there still is comunication in the between the two devices...
Hopefully it will be a Merry Christmas =)
It's not impossible. I'm relatively new here but I have noticed quite a few "bricked" threads already. Most of them (if not all) have been able to fix their device. I haven't seen a single person permanently brick their device, so I would guess that your chances of fixing it are really high. Just be patient and keep describing your situation and more experienced help will certainly arrive. I'd really like to help out but I have no idea how to fix it as I have not experienced bricking my phone yet.
Anyway, if the method for unlocking I suggested works for you kindly press the Thanks Button. Merry Christmas!

Guys,
I am out of ideas, I have tried each single firmware I have seen around internet, no one is working, any tip or advice or suggestion?
I messed up with the efs, and I guess that's all, the phone is gone....now it needs a JTAG or whatever is its name....
maybe to get the warranty still valid I should broke totally the phone over charging it....??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310
just a thought
a lot of people have talked about reflashing it and all but have you managed to get into the recovery mode at all once you have reinstalled the rom with odin? if you can get to that you just need to hit factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik and normaly after that it will work fine... so far ive been stuck in soft brink 3 times and each time doing the wipes from the recovery mode has worked...

I've tried to use the oneclick, but it seems it doesn't recognize the phone, since, i guess, it's made for a galaxy s.
The others are not my case, since I am able to get download mode, and all these are made to can get it back.
Anyway I found out a post in which the people were talking about the s5500, which apparentely is similiar to my device, and the owners of that model experienced a similar problem doing the same process....anyway in that post the people needed to use a Jtag, which is the only way to get it back....so I though it could be the same solution for my problem...but I don't know anybody with Jtag, so the only way is contacting the service center.
thanks anyway, when I will be back at home after Christmas I will try to find the ticket and I will probably try to get it back in warranty, since is preatty new...
@torchwolfery
I am not able to reach recovery mode, there is no way to get it back, even flashing the phone with different firmwares, all I got is download mode, and apparently that is completely pointless...since the only change in the phone behavior is that if i install a certain firmwares it doesn't even have the back-light working when it is stuck in bootloop.
Warranty is your only hope (as it was mine once and it worked).
I didn't think it was possible to brick these phones. There I have tried so much to try and brick it but I have not been able to as it still always goes into 'download' mode. The only advice I can give you is double check that you are using the correct version of Odin which is v4.38 and that you use cooper v1.0 as your OPS. If dont mind me asking, but exactly what did you do or do you remember the steps you took to brick it? What buttons are you using for 'recovery' mode.
Also please clarify if Odin is going in a loop or does the phone come on and then keeps rebooting? If it is the phone that keeps rebooting, then wiping cache and data partition should do the trick. This can be done by going into recovery mode (which I am aware you cannot get into) or if you can manage to get into the dialler quick enough before the reboot, by dialling *7267*3855# and that should format the relevant partitions (data and cahce) and bring it back to factory settings. Without further info, I cannot really tell exactly what the situation is.
The fact that you are getting 'download' mode, I dont think that it is bricked because it will still allow you to write the relevant directory/files to the relevant blocks. Either way, would be interested to know.
Hey, to make a long story shorter i tried to root it but did not succeed.. fully.. haha, well it all went smooth until i wanted to go in to recovery first time
after unlocking bootloader, i couldnt get in there, so i erased cache and tried again, and different methods then i started to try to flash another recovery img, didnt want to work and still i could not get in to recovery.... tried to lock and unlock bootloader and other things and nothing....
So i did it from scratch,. but i couldnt even do factory reset from bootloader, couldnt do anything from there really... and then it didnt want to boot normally for some reason, i might just have been impatient but... so i started flashing in another boot.img.... dont ask me why but in the end when i felt there was no more hope i started flashing in everything i had, more or less.. what i think got f'ked up is the Kernel.
i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 and used that all in 1 tool most of the time, but also tried manual commandands via fastboot..
.
when it locked up totally, it didnt want to boot normally after that i could just get in to bootloader, so i sat all day yesterday putting posts in different threads in several forums so dont say i havent looked ^^
i didnt get any answer anywhere in time and it got uncharched, and was dead since yesterday so i gave up, until today, i couldnt charge it.. but i tried now and from nowhere i could get into bootloader again but this time with too low battery to flash!!
and i dont think its charging properly, dont know why exactly.. so im just sticking the usb cable in and out while its powered off since the red Led just light up for a sec when inserted then nothing, just to maybe get some power in there...
so im kind of at a cricis here, and would need help since i dont have anymore time to try to fix it
dont know exaclty what info you need, dont want to boot in unneccesary right now so just ask if u need any numbers or whatever..
i bought it very recently here in sweden.. dont rly know what more information i can give
Would surely appreciate some solid help!
Sincerely, jeff

if i insert it in to my pc the red LED flashes 3 times if i put it in the wall it flashes steady 1 time. but does not seem to get any charge from either

Your battery is critically low.
As already advised by lloir... Just plug it in to the charger, and may forget for a good 24 hours so that the phone exists....

i will do that, its still in the wall and shut off, and try some solution tomorrow, but i still dont quite have that solution ^^
Once charged, you could download the correct RUU, flash that, and restart from scratch. You may have to relock the bootloader using Hasoon's toolkit. After that, its not complicated - use Hasoon's kit to unlock again, flash the correct recovery, sideload a ROM and boot up your phone.

i have the correct RUU on my desktop, i searched for ages before i found it, but this is an .exe and starts a program for me and have failed at the last part.. i cant try it now so i can see what it said and i cant remember exactly at what step it failed.. i came like halfway in to it
or do you mean the ruu.zip version? to flash it manually into the device?
did you relock the bootloader? the error message might help

relock it for what step, i tried to lock and and unlock it several times
seriously, you need to read atleast a little bit - a million people before have posted exactly the same questions, have had answers posted umpteen times. you need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU.

well sorry for acting Stupid but i just want to be completely sure since ive been at it since friday now
if i get it to start tomorrow, i think ill start with the .bat file to get it to charge some more, then relocking the bootloader, then flashing a proper ruu..
is these steps somewhat correct??
no one??? i got it to boot a short time today then stone dead again so there is some hope
