[Q] Problems after root

Hello
After rooting my xperia play. I now cannot install apps at all. Market downloads the app then gives the error download unsuscesfull. Tried from market.android.com but phone not on there any more. I have reset my phone cleared data from all apps reflashed root update (do get an error saying 1 bad block) error started after I installed busybox and hard reset.
Can anyone help?

Did you unlock bootloader and rooted and the same time?
reason I ask is that I noticed that after I unlocked the bootloader my handset disappeared from market.android.com and didn't show again for several hours. Once it showed again I was able to download apps etc.
I had no issue after root but I did unlock the bootloader the day Sony Ericsson released it.

na i unlocked the bootloader as soon as i came out
does anyone know where i can get the tft for the play as i want to try flashtool?

I'm looking for a working tft too to relfash. Think someone posted the decrypted files from SEUS. anyway to make it into a tft?

here is the original tft:

Boot Loop : Impossible to Fix ?!

Hi !
I just got my new phone : Xperia ARC !
And you know what ? I Bootlooped it by mistake
The problem is I don't really know I did wrong and why every solution I found doesn't fix my problem.
Okay, now I tell you my story :
I received my phone and use it few hours.
I rooted it with GingerBreak and start to really use it, installing apps...
I removed some useless apps (I think I removed something important ) but everything was good.
And later I rebooted my phone. And tadaaam ! "Sony Ericsson" logo forever, bootlooped !
I tried :
- FastBoot technique, but my phone was blocked by my operator, impossible to use the menu button when I plug my phone.
- FlashTools with 2 different firmwares, the flashing works (no error in logs) but I'm still in the loop !! I used LT15i_3.0.A.2.181 Global Customized and the UK 184.
- Tried again on Win7 and WinXP 64 et 32 bits...
- I prayed all the night.
Nothing fixed my phone...
I don't know what to anymore... I need you !
Thanks.
EDIT : BTW I didn't tell you but I tried with SE Tools to fix it, and nothing change

I tried se tools to fix my arc but I left my phone for a hour after the flash wouldnt work and flashed the firmware again cause that is why my phone would work the first time so anyway tried it after an hour and I left it a good 20 mins and Sony Ericsson logo came on then took another 20 mins for it to load up properly try my way and see if it works for u

You will may need to flash the correct firmware for your phone/ operator..
Where is the phone from? which operator did you buy it from?

I bought it in France, operator : VirginMobile.

I had the same and just recovered the firmware by SEUS (Sony Ericcson Update Service). This program can be downloaded from the internet. Just follow instructions and you have a fresh phone again. Really fresh as you have to setup everything from the beginning but at least your phone works again.

I already tried using SEUS without success, nothing changed
How many Firmware exists ?
How do I know which one was mine ?

I just did it again. The bootloop is still there.

After Restore to Factory Setting , every lost

Hi all, I am just depressed, I have tried to root my Defy + , and finaly I found that my version cant be root at the moment, so I decided to Restore to Factory Setting because I think after trying so many root software and failed, it;s better to go back to defult setting, than I am so shock when I see my phone again :
THe lockbar is lost, and also every defult app, and I count have a slide unlock bar, it said I can only make phone calls, and that's it, nothing eles, I cant do anything on it, is that because I have tried so many root softwares so it become liek that?
Or is it just normal and that's solution that I can hae the apps and slidelockbar ?
Please kindly give me some advice, I am so helpless

I have never seen something like that, now that is all off, try flashing it with some stock sbf, i'm sure you will find many of them in the development section, i'm sorry for your loss

Hey, don't panic. Nothing is lost. Just find here proper to your version SBF and burn it with RSDLite.

Question in wrong place

hello,
my wife has an open lt15i, not branded and rooted with the latest official firmware. since about 2 weeks she is not able to call 2 numbers. unfortunately these numbers are quite important - they are from our 2 children. when she tries to call these 2 numbers she only hears a short snap or signal noise and that´s it.
as i have no clue where this comes from and ics is still a few weeks ahead i want to go back to the last firmware (.42). unfortunately i didn´t found if i loose everything when i use the flashtool to flash the last firmware.
so is it possible to flash .42 over .62 and keep all settings (contacts, call logs, sms, apps, settings, etc?)?
sorry if this is already asked and answered somewhere here, i read a lot - but didn´t found it.
thank´s a lot for your help!

Sounds like you git the two numbers blockd on the phone
Try factory-reset, you will loose all data (settings etc. and not contacts)
From my sexy LT15i

Hi,
Yes, you can flash .42 baseband using flashtools
Just remember to make a backup before that.
BTW, as "TheHaso" mentioned, try factory reset first.

she didn´t allowed me to do it this weekend. she uses this phone also for her shop so i really understand her...
what i did so far is to ckeck if there are any numbers blocked on the phone - nothing that i could find. then i installed mybackup because this is the only one i found that does not need a rooted phone and did a complete backup to the local sd. so at least i have a backup of the data now.
i´ll try the factory reset hopefully tomorrow evening if i am allowed. supid question, but if that does not change anything, is the backup with mybackup enough to restore the phone to the exact state as it is now?
and about the downgrade to .42 - i read in the ics thread that you can selectively choose what to flash. if i remove data - will this work? or do i need to restore the mybackup after the downgrade?
sorry for all these questions, but i don´t want to play russian roulette with my wifes phone data...
thank´s a lot for your help!

1. I havent tried mybackup, but I think in trial mode, you might have some problems restoring your data in ICS! but should work on the same firmware.
2. As far as I'm concerned, selective installation was devised in order to make the released ICS work with flashtools and now it can be done with new flashtools v7 just in one step.
I reckon It won't be a good idea not to wipe user data while flashing ICS.

i had now time to play with the phone. and it is still working!
i was short before doing a factory reset, but then i had the idea to put the sim in another phone - surprise - i am still not able to call these 2 numbers! so it must be something provider related. will call them tomorrow...
then i did a downgrade with flashtool to .42 and i unchecked user data. the downgrade worked fine, everything is still there. and now i have a rooted arc!
thank´s a lot for your help!

we decided to change provider - now everything is working again. my wife can call all numbers!
i decided to upgrade the rooted phone again to the latest firmware, but i think i don´t did it right...
actually i wanted to do it on the phone, but the updater just said that there was an error and i should try it again. then i decided to do the upgrade via pc companion. it worked, but now i have a unrooted phone...
first question: what was my failure?
second question: when in a few weeks the official ics will be released - can i root my phone after the upgrade? or is this not possible with ics? basically i want to stay with the original firmware and just remove the bloatware.
thank´s a lot for your help!

Smart Switch Not Working after Root

OK first of all thank you to the devs who worked hard on the root.
My problem is that Smart switch is not working at all. I get the unsupported device error on my PC .
My phone is the Galaxy S8+ t-mobile.
I haven't found a fix to this and I really need one to restore my 22gb of data on my PC to my newly rooted phone. If anyone has a fix please tell me.
