Rooted XPeria Play R800x Can't Update
Dec 22, 2012
i decided to root my XPeria play and i didn't know what would be the outcome of it. Since im use to iOS i though it would install something similiar to Cydia. Well, it didn't and i checked if it had any updates and there was. So it did all of its download process and installing but it told me in the end ''Error: Update Failed''. and so i tried PC Companion and that didn't work either. So im in need of removing the ROOT out of my phone and installing a new software update on it. Currently, im on version 2.3.3.

I actually have a huge problem updating. 2 days ago I updated my wife's Xperia r800x. Now I try to update my Xperia r800x and at first it just says update failed and I try to use pc companion and update service and they both say there is no available update for your phone (Over the air update also fails). Now when I try to connect to an over the air update it says that there was an error try back again later and about 8 hours later i try again and still no luck! Pc companion and Sony update service are still saying the same thing (no available update for your phone). I have already tried the repair phone option also and this is really frustrating! I am guessing this might be a verizon problem for the over the air option but as far as sony's side i feel like i shouldn't be having this problem. Did they pull the update?

it looks like the sony play R800x wll get a android update starting monday but will it be android 4.0? likey not but it looks like it may be geting at lest android 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 on 4-30-2012 but still this is the 1st update in a long time [URL]
what you guys think will it be ICS can wait too find out
note how the update is olny 67mb but all so not that the 67mb is all so the biges update on there why the rest is 925kb up too 66mb so it makes you kind of wounder what this update is going too be about is it going to be ICS likey not the 67mb is likey too small for ICS so too me it looks like it be geting android 2.3.6 or 2.3.7

So I am on my third r800x in about 6 weeks. The first one refused to download the update no matter what was tried so it was replaced under warrenty. And the second was replaced because it was rebooting about 3 times a day. I finally got one that works for everything but connecting it to PC Companion. No matter what mix of modes I use it refuses to connect to PC companion. I cant figure out what is going on. (PC Companion ver:2.10.053 Prod:22.1) I downloaded PC Companion from the SEMC site because it was not on the SD card in the phone like the instructions said on the Website.

Ok no ICS can we at least get 2.3.4 fixed for R800x. The know issues are a big problem, STILL. Google, push notifications, wifi, 3g etc.

Today I noticed a tiny x over my signal bars. I went to settings phone about and the settings give me a popup stating it crashed and I had one option [force close]. After a reboot a tiny display at the top right appeared " (No Service) "
I rebooted the phone several times, checked every setting the phone would allow (couldn't go to airplane mode -just info here) and still had the same problems.
Decided to go ahead and reset the phone (w/o wiping the SDcard). The inital screen came up to choose your language - no problem I clicked English The next screen was the cute green android wanting me to touch his tummy.... sigh No matter how many times I touch his tummy he just stays there. I have reset this phone previously with no issues at all.
Things I have tried:
Multiple reboots (20+) Removed the battery for 30 minutes and tried again Removed the SDcard and tried again Held down various combinations of buttons while rebooting Always it comes up with the droid wanting his tummy touched..

I downloaded PC Companion onto my computer so I could update my Xperia Play from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4. But the problem is when I connect my phone to my computer PC Companion says searching and then says no phone connected. When I try going to support center and go to how to connect to USB (which is an option that's suppose to get PC companion to notice my phone.). When the process is finished it still won't recognize the phone. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PC companion but the same thing still happens. I also tried disconnecting and connecting my phone but the the same thing still happens.

My phone recieved notification of a new software update yesterday, it also said i could update it over the air, then contradictid itself by saying i had to use the PC Companion software. Which i did use, i connected my phone, tried to update the software, but when i get to the change from MSC to MTP part, it trys to connect to my phone then says it cannot connect... ?I tried the Wi-Fi updated through the PC companion and the USB updater & they were both saying the same things...It just won't let me update and its really frustrating seeing as im following the instructions given to me...

My phone has been rooted for ages, and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the fact that I download the ICS update, reboot when prompted, and when phone boots up again, I get message box saying "Software Update Failed."

I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Nexus 6P and just this evening received an update for the November Security Update. This downloads fine but when the phone reboots to install, it just goes to TWRP and doesn't install.
This is most likely incredibly simple and stupid for me even to ask, but is it possible to install one I've unlocked/rooted?

I've got an odd issue with Nexus 5. I had previously rooted under KitKat, and then decided to update to Lollipop. I used the adb sideload to push the OTA update onto the phone. It appears that in the update I lost my root (not the real issue) and everything with Lollipop seems fine. Something in my device claims that it's still rooted (even though every root checker says I'm not). I utilize the Good for Enterprise app and it's telling me that I'm not in compliance and keeps wiping my account (after setting it up again with my IT group). IT claims I'm rooted since it's wiping, but like I said every root checker says that I'm not. What I find weird is apps like Solid Explorer and Helium "think" I'm rooted for a brief second, but don't let me do anything that having root would let me do. (helium reverts to non-root after saying there was an error executing Superuser and solid explorer asks me to install BusyBox).
IIRC just factory wiping the device wouldn't get rid of root. Do I root again and then try to unroot? Do I try something else? Basically I don't need/want root, but I obviously want my Good for Enterprise to work correctly. I can always push the factory image onto the phone using ADB if that would work. I can backup most of my apps and such with Helium and start over without it being a huge deal but I'm concerned even that wouldn't work.

I got this phone as a gift, an SM-G920F. And it already has SuperSU in it when I got it. Which means it's already rooted if I'm not mistaken. I'm liking the phone and hoping to know more about it.
Anyway I discovered that you can only change the media volume with the rockers when a video or music is playing. And it defaults to ringtone otherwise. Same thing happens when the media pauses in the middle of playback. But I never change my ringtone volume. It's either on, off, or vibrate.
So I browsed the web for fixes. And found this app called Rocker Locker. I tried it but it was a huge battery drain, so it wasn't a permanent fix. I also found out that this behavior was changed in Marshmallow. Having the rockers change media volume by default.
Tried to check for OTA updates. But it said something about phone being modified. Which was lucky, because I've also read not to take OTA updates while rooted.
Long story short. How do I update from Lollipop to Marshmallow in a rooted phone?

I have dual boot windows XP and windows 7 and have tried both operating systems.

I keep on going to Settings>>>About Phone>>>Software Update>>>Update Now and it keeps saying my phone is up to date when it clearly is not. PC methods such as SEUS are not working either. I feel like my phone is left out in the cold.

I had managed to update version to 2.3.3 from 2.3.2 during this week.But somehow, PC companion still shows me that I had new updates for my phone.
So I did the 2nd update as follows on the instructions, and after reboot the phone, ALL my personal settings, messages, contacts, apps, games setting on the phone are gone!Luckily the phone was still new and i had a back up last few weeks ago.Hope Sony Ericcson will look into this issue and prevent it from happen on the next update!
