Nice guide but doesn’t work on my Verizon Xperia using Windows 11, gives me “Waiting for device. After 60Secs, stop waiting will be forced”

[@fobmarley]

Same on my AT&T version using windows 11

[@notgamingwithfaz]

Me too it sucks

[@iknowjenny2673]

same here its killing me. cant find anything online

[@ultimate_president]

Still got my Xperia Play even with the box 😍 loved this thing and always wanted to root this thing but not wanted to mess it up and your video helped me through it thx 😉

[@K9arcade]

Very well-paced and informative video. If I ever get my hands on one I'd love to have it next to my other PS stuff and my VAIO :) Very jealous of a girl I knew who had an Xperia Play in highschool and played crash 1 on it legitimately, good times.

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

Just bought an r800i it's a pretty snappy phone given its age and that's on stock firmware

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

Nothing is supported though on stock

[@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou]

I almost gave up and without this I would've thank you so much. I had a lot of issues especially with rooting the phone I had to use a lower version to flash a lower firmware successfully then a newer version to root it.

[@ThangNguyen-wi9yj]

I really like your video, it's very detailed, and it shows your devotion. I will buy it soon.If you can make more videos about installing games on this device that would be great.

[@XWB0Y]

VRoot v1.8.6 helped me quickly and easily install root (KingRoot) on sony xperia play verizon bought on aliexpress

[@Undefinabledanger]

pls help me do this

[@heinsdasein1523]

Any download link mate?

[@ecoao80]

why would you use a normal ps1 emulator when the xperia play partially has the hardware to play ps1 games in the first place? are there instructions for installing ps1 games the way the xperia was designed to play them?

[@BananaBlack2077]

The flashtool isn't included in your G Drive, and it looks like the link from the XDA website doesn't work. is there any way you can provide a new link or add it to the G Drive?

[@garcia8523able]

Bro did you manage to figure it out? Couldn’t find that file either

[@Undefinabledanger]

Hey Robles!, When I opened the zergRush, it said the first part failed? I noticed my Sony ericsson Xperia play is powered by verizon, and yours isnt. I was wondering if I needed another software to zergRush my Sony ericsson Xperia play. I would gladly appreciate it if you helped me figure out this problem, Thank you!

[@Termanator]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@icyds]

Is epsxe emulator full speed on the device? Preferably Tekken 3 full speed.

[@fobmarley]

Does this work with AT&T version? I tried and it keeps hanging up on Part 1 of the exploit

[@DylanMoore94]

i remember owning one of these once, good times

[@user-ut4bo1ui1m]

I have a Verizon sony ericsson xperia play r800i with android version 2.3.4. Can i follow the same process you display in your video without having problem of losing my device?

[@jesserevland354]

Dang I almost got this phone as my first smart phone back in the day 😔

[@RoblesJunior]

Yeah I remember seeing them for cheap a while ago, now they are going for crazy money. You may see some cheap one on eBay for like 75-90 bucks but those are Chinese knockoffs. The White and Red color ways are so hard to find. There is a red one for sale on eBay for 300+ in the box.

[@zomannfamofficial]

@@RoblesJunior wait so the ones that are for like 70-90$ are Chinese knockoffs?

[@spinnanz]

Three are no longer rare or hard to find. Their are tons of them on Ali express or around $75us.

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

reshelled tho so not original

[@yaelmontero6775]

Very useful!! Worked 100% for me. Many thanks 🙏🏽 now I can use this device and remember those days. Pd: if you have a psp emulator that you would recommend it would be so nice

[@rastamouse7861]

To be honest I don’t think this thing would have near enough horse power to emulate PSP games. The only way I could see this thing playing PSP games is if Sony ported them to this phone specifically.

[@yaelmontero6775]

@@rastamouse7861 you’re right about that. I installed a PSP emulator and it ran like crp 💩 I’m just emulating 90s consoles for the moment

[@heinsdasein1523]

I followed every step however the flash tool app didn't work. It was scanning the device untol the message "Waiting for your device.After 60secs,stop waiting will be forced" does anybody know why this happens? Thanks in advance.

[@faabberg]

wait longer

[@user-ut4bo1ui1m]

Very informing! Thanks a lot dude!

[@johnalevirasenjo6673]

Wow great and amazing wanting to buy a xperia play for this retro gaming ... i hope it will run also games from nintendo switch , and could be updated to android 11 or 12 thnxs a lot

[@ganganthefatman1382]

Goes to show there was no excuse for the lack of dual joysticks for the PSP (perhaps a price increase but idk.)

[@lukasring3524]

Does the flash tool worka on win11 because im getting only info waiting for device after 60sec... But the Phone dosent reebot and i get then error part1 exploit

[@LiEnby]

Do a video on gettimg playstation mobile running on it again !

[@michl3]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, i still own 2 of them & both are in perfect condition, but i never found a way to root it to free up some storage - this one finally worked, -2024 aproved❤️ Btw. If anybody wants one of my 2 Xperia Play‘s - i would sell it for 100 bucks - i‘m from Austria to pick it up, but shipping isn‘t a problem too!

[@kallekater4782]

Thank you for the Video.I have the play in pearl white.I have seen Videos there running ice cream sandwich and other Android Systems on it.Now i will try the same with your Videos.Greetings from Germany,and have a good Time😊

I've been stuck at part 1 of root just force stop each time Model number is r800i

Is there a way of making these useable for now? Like so I can use maps and Facebook etc?

hey could you share cwm on a different website cause google drive detects a virus and I can't download it

I’ve come here to see if you where able to get the remote ps4 android app to work on this

[@Eclipser7777]

Hey Robles! Nice guide. It all goes well but I can't enter Clockwork recovery, neither vol+ or vol- or even power button at vibrate work. Any ideas?

[@B-Stein]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I'm having the same issue as another commenter, but I don't believe it was every solved. When rooting, it states that the part 1 exploit fails and sometimes it reads "waiting for device". Any help is appreciated.

[@likmus1976]

Hi! Is your xperia play a verizon logo version? I rooted mine which is a classic version without problem with this tutorial. By I also had a Verizon version that I wanted to root. And just like you I got the message that part 1 of the exploit failed. I tried on several different PCs and always the same message. It looks like the original Verizon rom is different....

[@B-Stein]

@@likmus1976 Yes mine is the Verizon R800x, but I've since fixed the problem. I used a tool called EasyRoot or ERoot and it worked.

Hey i watched the video, but I noticed that some people were saying that the Verizon xperia is a bit different. I actually ordered one before seeing this video. I tried going to your discord to see if i can get some help but it didn't work. Is there a specific tutorial on rooting this kind of xperia play?

Could you make a list of games and apps that work? I've been using mine about a year and have ran alot of cool stuff, n64 runs great.

[@Left4Bill]

Anyone know how to factory reset the r800a model that's locked with a passcode?

[@leeluckett1634]

I had three of them. I hated that outdated browser. It’s really good Gameboy emulator. It’s weird no one has done this video. There is a built in ps1 emulator as well. It’s cumbersome to use. I installed psp on this but it was bad. Couldn’t run N64. In theory, DS could be installed but not at gingerbread and it won’t run well.

[@cubeuhhgaming5034]

Luckily me I think we’re spreading rumors on the Internet that the PlayStation phone actually existed works very happy about that the Sony company is actually going to make a new Sony Xperia play phone I would rather than called the PlayStation 4 the name that they’re choosing is horrible everyone in the world knows what a PlayStation is but what the hell is in Xperia play that sounds like a completely new company that I really don’t wanna part of lol

I just spent 5 hours on it. Not working for me with a R800I and windows 10. I have the message "Waiting for device. After 60 secs stop waiting will be forced" then "forced stop Waiting" then "The part one exploit did not work" and "cleaning files" I really tried a lot of different things before to post here. There must be something wrong, the phone is not restarting. I read a lot of forums but i dont see the problem. If someone could be kind and help me i would be very thankful for it... Thanks a lot
