This works! On the Z3 it's a small yellow square that says off. Hold, wait for 3 vibrations and power on. woooohooooo!!!!! : ) My phone went to sudden death (blacked out screen) and buttons wouldn't work. This fixed my problem. Thanks
Ok thank you so much but I have a problem.. I've forgotten my Xperia M2 password and have been trying all the methods you've mentioned. The problem is that neither my internet nor electricity help me download the firmware to reset the phone to factory settings. Is there a way for me to install the firmware, via torrent for example, and then do the whole process offline? Thank you
I bricked my Sony Xperia M2 trying to downgrade to 4.3 using Flashtool however this video has saved my life! I turned off my phone (using the button next to microsim) and used the repair tool to boot my phone back up Thank you so much for this upload, would've been lost without it!
Thank you very much, work for me. P.S -> For me was needed to choose my Phone model , but if u dont know your model or something you can choose a random model (but make sure your phone isnt very different than another model)
+Mihail Greceanu Currently this is only for some models with My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP) feature. As I know this is for Xperia Z3+, Z4 Tablet, C4, and M4 Aqua.
+Richard Noail Xperia Z has no physically reset button. Try this, press and hold the Power On and the Volume Up button at the same time. When you feel vibration release them and the phone must restart.
Tutorial above will get you lose your data don't try it , but surprisingly i found another option, this site *doctorcphone. com* works perfectly! they can unlock your mobile phone Without Reset and Loosing Data! good luck
Thanks for the vid, i forgot about the pc companions capabilities, when you did the lock pattern 'Z' was that the pattern you set, or was it only to show that the lock was removed after the FW update? Also when i power off my Z1 it turns itself back on then keeps looping saying SONY(unless i soft reset), would this be a software glitch in my phone that could be fixed with FW update? also only charges by dock not usb(says it is tho) Thanks
Yes, I put this pattern "Z". I also wanted to show that when the phone is screen locked, you can not do a hard reset. At this situation, firmware update with the switched off phone works like a hard reset. About your phone, for me, this look more like a hardware problem, but try to reflash it. This would be the first thing I would do.
WORK ON XPERIA E4 WITH LOCKED SCREEN PATTERN!!! Thank you ZFix. I forget my screen pattern and was unable to enter the phone,trying from hard reset with soft keys to secret codes etc,but without success.I googled for 2 days and finally got it with pc companion,just be patient-with average speed its takes from 1-2 hours to finish all process. PS.Dont let your pc get into sleep mode,from time to time move the coursor. Just fallow instructions.
This video is very helpfup but my problem is that I never connected my device with the Sony PC Companion. Any ideas on how I can bypass the lockscreen with another way?
+GrAngelos99 If you have Google account, installed on this device, you can use it to bypass the screen lock, otherwise you have to reflash the phone: th-cam.com/video/u47fAYa0a4w/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ZFix
it did work thank you so much. i think the most stupid thing in the lollipop version is that i cant reset the pattern with my google account -_- how stupid is that
hi! First at all, i love this video! Saves my life (: But, i need help. I'm from South America, and my computer is in Spanish. I doesn't have the SOMC FLASH DRIVER, where i can download it? It's the same operation for me in this side of the planet? Please help me! Muchas gracias por todo!
Ayelen Balario There is link in the description or you can download all XPERIA driver pack from here: doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Rmxhc2h0b29sLWRyaXZlcnMtMS41LTIwMTQwMzE4 Yes, the operation is the same.
Press and hold it 3-4 seconds until you feel an vibration. This is a softwaer reset, same lake removing the batter. If you want to bypass the screen lock you have to flash the phone with Sony PC Companion.
There is no button like that inside, just white stickers that are a similar size but no button it might not be a z1 model but it is definitely an Xperia

Well, i'm doing this because all i want is remove that thing with start everytime my z3 start or reset 1:00, you mean this when it says "screen lock"? My english is limited And please tell me if my phone don't be root after this :(
+RocKI4N The first step in this video (before 01:00) is a software reset, if you phone freeze. To remove the screen lock you have to flash the phone with PC Companion and erase everything from the phone memory, includes customer accounts, passwords, locks, etc. If the phone is rooted, you have to root it again. But if you phone is rooted and with installed custom ROM, you can start the phone in recovery mode and do reset from here.
If you have forgotten screen lock, you can't. Do you have Google account installed on this device. If yes, you phone book must be synced with this account. Also you can try to bypass the screen lock with this account.
yes i tried my google account but to no avail have now called my provider and my phone has to be sent back to them to try and fix or replace but thanks for replying Rich

to remove the password you need to reinstall firmware, but for that to be possible you need to know the password :)))))))))))))))))))))) very helpful
+Mihail Greceanu
Currently this is only for some models with My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP) feature. As I know this is for Xperia Z3+, Z4 Tablet, C4, and M4 Aqua.
again, your comment is not useful
if i have z and z2 and i m not able to remove it without flash be sure that z3 and up have way better security
Who said that you can remove the protection without reflashing?

No, this is reflashing with the official Sony application - PC Companion. The phone will not be rooted.

To reflash the phone, you don't need to use the reset button.Folow this video:

Soft reset will not remove the PIN.
