[Q] Stock Telstra Firmware (R800a)

[ashanrath]

Hi everyone,

I've been searching madly for this to no avail. Unfortuantely I've been having some random reboot issues with my Play and it's looking like it's hardware based. Restarting several times per day, usually when coming out of screen lock. Tried flashing multiple firmwares, different kernels, wiping out everything with CWM. Still no luck.

I'm about to return the handset to Telstra to see about a repair as it's still under warranty. Problem is, Telstra is anal about having their own stock software still on the handset. I didn't think to make a backup of the stock Telstra firmware before flashing a generic UK ROM (I know, stupid).

Could anyone point me in the direction of a stock Telstra ROM? Preferably FTF?

99 views and nobody has anything?

I'm having this exact same problem. Did you find a solution for it? I've tried heaps of things, but I have no idea what the problem is, however it's really frustrating. Thanks

Could you perhaps send it back to Sony (with a locked bootloader and no root)? If it's a hardware issue they shouldn't have a problem I think.

I don't have a problem but I have also been scouring the net for an FTF or whatever for stock Telstra R800a incase I need to return it. I read that there is an update for R800a on Telstra if you use PC Companion, but we would need a build.prop from original Telstra firmware for it to recognize.... could somebody share it?

I know it might only be an OTA update, but it's worth a try to get original build.prop values from stock and extract the update from PC Companion cache. Please, if anybody on stock Telstra firmware not yet updated in PC Companion could share their build.prop file, it could help.
