I have a SE Xperia Play, which is rooted but I think with a locked bootloader as I by mistake downloaded the newest Android update which bricked my phone and I had to relock the bootloader to unbrick it, and the Android Market would not download or update any of my apps. At first the Market says that there is insufficient space on my device, even though there's over 100mb free on my internal storage. However, I've uninstalled updates of the Market and it now just refuses to download or update anything. I've googled around and have tried the following:

1. Clear cache of Market and clear data of Download Manager
2. Uninstall updates of the Market
3. Format my sd card
3. Soft reset

None of these solutions has worked and I'm really fed up and kinda upset as this has really been bugging me and to be honest my phone is more or less useless if I'm unable to download or update anything at all. I would really appreciate anyone's help. Thanks a lot.
 
Thank you very much for replying, I checked out the forum but am not sure which guide to follow to re-root my phone and flash a rom... could you possibly let me know which may be the best guide? Thanks so much.

Wotanserver.com is quick and easy (you just need to know what version you're running (i.e. the current r800x running 2.3.3 is 3.0.1.e.0.88))
Pc companion can do a repair if you're not on verizon,
Flashtool works regardless of what phone type you have, but it's the hardest to use out of the three I've mentioned.
