Firmware Versions
The firmware is basically the collection of everything that makes the phone run; the Android OS, included apps, and whatever software it needs to interface with the device hardware. Official firmware is built specifically for certain devices, including variants of device models. You can see what model phone you have and what version of firmware (Build Number) by going to the phone settings, and then About Phone. The Xperia Play's firmware comes in the form of *.FTF files.
Recommended versions:
R800i - 4.0.2.A.0.69 (World) R800x - 2.3.3_3.0.1.E.0.88 (Verizon) if sticking with stock. You can use 2.3.4_4.0.2.E.57 for custom ROM and kernel compatibility, but stock has a glitched out radio that Verizon never fixed. R800at - 4.0.2.A.0.42 (North America) Download locations:
