R800at rooted .270 Now what?

---

Just bought an att play phone off craigslist, had it updated to 280 thru sony companion, found no rooting with 280, so flashed back to 270, thanks to flashtool and you all!

I'm now going to call att and ask nicely for simunlock code; next I'm going to try bootloader unlock, so I can install custom roms and kernels.

I am not a noob; I have had a few android phones starting from htc g1 years ago. But, this is my first Sony android phone. In the last six months or so, I had a Motorola Atrix 4G with the laptop dock and then a Dell Streak 5, and now the Xperia Play.

Having lots of fun, you can say.

Well, now that I have a rooted xplay, what should I do with the phone, in terms of apps and mods?

I eagerly await your collective wisdom.

If you plan to keep it on stock AT&T build I would OTA update to .285 now that you are rooted. You will keep the root if you OTA update. To me .285 runs better and smoother than .270.

If you plan on using other roms then I would just get the bootloader unlocked and have at it.

Thanks for your suggestion/advice. I'd like to keep it on stock for a little while longer. I'm having problems with ota updating, keep getting "Only mobile networks available for software update" even though I have wifi working. Is there a way for force it?

Man just unlock your bootloader with alejandrissimo and it will be automatically SIM unlocked, and dont keep it stock with AT&T firmare, flash a generic rom from r800a or r800i you wont loose 4G, but you will a have a clean and modable ROM

How much does he charge? I'm thinking of unlocking my bootloader, but I'm a bit low on money right now

Ok, I see. Still no update available. Have to wait 24 hours before I try again. What idiocy, you can only try updating once a day only???
