[Q] How to recover R800A?

---

Does anyone know where I can find the Rogers .ftf file for the r800A?

I don't want to root my phone until I have a 100% safe method to fall back on.

Would using Sony Ericsson Update Service be able to do the same thing?

Thanks.

you could follow the decrypting your own rom tutorial in the x10 forum, don't ask me how though... I have never done it myself

can someone with a bricked xperia play r800a at least tell me if the tool I posted above works?

That should work no problem there should be a repair option after you follow the steps they line out

Rooting your phone will cause no problems. Its the removing of bloat after that should not have been removed that might cause problems. I removed all the apps on the safe apps to remove thread and caused no problems.

If your bootloader is unlocked you cannot use SEUS to recover or even get ota updates. You will have to flash your phone to recover it. If your bootloader is still locked then you can use SEUS to recover the play.

I was rooted with loads of bloat removed. Just used SUES to reinstall the original phone software. It will just download the files you removed after the root.

Thanks so much everyone.
