[Q] Clockworkmod xperia play

I have serached and searched. was unable to find anything so im rly sorry if i dubble post.
But will clockworkmod from Rom manager V4.5.0.1 Work on xperia play R800I
and
If im trying to flash it trough Rom manager can it cause any harm if it is not working.
i would like to avoid to flash yet another rom with Fastboot yet again if i can use a more easy on the go alternative.
Thanks in advanced.

No cwm is only supported by using dooms kernal. Wish itvwas that easy

You have two options either flash dooms kernel which comes with recovery or boot free xperia recovery (which require unlocked bootloader) both threads u can find under xperia play android development section ,pls. do some search

Flashtool
It would be awesome if it were that easy man, but unfortunately Flashtool is the best alternative unless your really patient

CyanogenMod 7.1 Official also includes CWM.
Installation guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play:_Full_Update_Guide

I like the openness of cyanogen but i like having all my playstation stuff sooo.. would it be possible to flash cwm when doing the cyanogenmod flash and then use flashtool to install stock 2.3.3 so i can backup and choose whichever one i want in the future?

thanks alot just what ive been looking for. but i have a question
i installed another stock rom on the phone version 2.3.3
Basebandversion 7x30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_21-22

Will i have to install another kernal or can i just go haead and flash ?

For flashing CM you have to flash the CM kernel (boot.img) that comes in the zip package of CM , u hav to unzip the latest CM FXP package and flash boot.img through fastboot put the file boot.img in the same folder in your pc where fastboot is located and copy the CM Rom zip file on the root of your sdcard. Now connect ur phone in fastboot mode (turnoff & hold the search key while connecting to pc) check if ur phone is connected properly by entering the following command in command prompt
fastboot getvar version
if it return some value like 0.3 then ur connected correctly. Now for flashing the CM Kernel enter following command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If all is done correctly a message will appear in command prompt stating success.Now turn on the phone while the phone is booting up press the volume rocker repeatedly until the phone enters CWM recovery mode , now install the CM Rom from ur sdcard remember to perform a nandroid backup and wipe the data/cache before installing.

First restore ur phone to the official
firmware through nandroid restore (u had that backup right ?) then U have to use flashtool for flashing that official Rom, search for flashtool 2.9.1 beta (only this version is compatible with play not use version 3.0) u will find that in xda forums download the file and unpack on the desktop a folder flashtool will be created inside that folder look for subfolder named drivers there will be an executable file ggsetup.exe run that file to install the drivers necessary ,after that copy the firmware .ftf file in the subfolder named firmwares. Now switch off your phone but not connect to pc yet. Run flashtool.exe in that application you will find flash button click on it and then select the firmware u have downloaded to flash , now u will see several files such as adsp.sin etc show up on the right side of flashtool you have to select all those files by ctrl+a or click seperately to select all of them after you are done with it make sure you have clicked wipe data on the upper right side and then click flash now the flashtool screen will show this message - preparing files for flashing , now keep ur phone ready u have to connect ur phone only after a message showing a image of x10 popup because it has some timeout (keep the back button pressed when connecting to pc a green led should lit up on power on/off button that means u are connected in flash mode) now the flashtool should also show phone connected and it will start flashing firmware automatically. Once flashing is done turn on the phone go to settings and turn on usb debugging and unknown sources.
After that u have to repeat the process of flashing CM kernel and flashing CM through recovery described earlier.

Please don't create a new thread.. Search first and then read.. Read and read more..

The link provided for Xperia-S_Relock_bootloader.ftf is dead. If someone has the file and would be so kind as to mirror it it would be awesome. I would have posted on the original thread, but it's in the developer section and I am not allowed to post there. I have tried google search to find an alternative and I have come across one file with the same name, I flashed it with Flashtool and now my Xperia S won't boot, I can get into flashmode and fastboot but that's it.

There should be a button with a lighting symbol. Click on it and select flash mode. Select FTF and the program will do it from there onwards. Just follow the instructions.

try to re download ftf file again or download it from another source i had the same problem i downloaded 2 ftf files from the link that you mentioned but my flashtools didint recognised my ftf too until i tried another source
https://www.iranmobile.org/xperia-e6833/
this is where i could get the right ftf which my flashtools recognised i dont know what is your model exactly and the site is persian sorry for that but the blue icon means download

My model is E6853, is there another source? I need an italian firmware, but im sure that my flashtool wont recognize it...

Xperifirm downloads the firmware files as RAW files.
Flash tool compiles the files into a FTF
Easy steps
1 } Use Xperifirm to download the firmware you need. (Remember the download location you'll need it)
2 } locate the finished firmware folder and check for the file "fwinfo.xml" and Delete it ( this will cause the FTF creation to fail every time)
3 } Open Flashtool and select in the top menu "tools" > "bundles" > "Create"
4} in the first box click and navigate to your Firmware files
5} in Device - select your model of phone
6} Branding - can be anything but it's best to use the description of the download you used (i.e customized CE1)
7} Version - use the same version string as your download
8} in the Folder List window select all files *EXCEPT* any Files with the .TA extension and move them across to the Firmware content window
9} Click the Create button.
10} once finished you can close the window, then use your newly created FTF to flash to your device.
all these steps were taken from this little tutorial

Please Press Thanks if this information helped you.

Hi
Thanks for the tip have the same issue.
If I flash without wiping will it be like I'm just updating my device. I'm currently running 7.0 *.378 and to update to *.33, received OTA update notification and want update but it fails to install because I'm rooted and unlocked I believe.

Just update your flashtool to the latest version by replacing the corresponding jar file found on the official website will do

yes ota updates can not install on rooted devices you have to downloadd .33 ftf with xperifirm or other sources,put ftf file in firmwares and run the flashtools ro flash the rom , yes you can choose not to wipe every thing and your data will be saved and you can have nougat with your last apps and settings.
but if not there is no problem then you have to wipe everything and falsh if you faced bootloop
