Hi,
so i got my XZ1 compact today, started the android setup and immediately forgot the PIN to unlock the phone.
I tried to reboot into recovery for a factory reset (since its brand new, I have no data to backup), however Volume Up + Power does not boot into recovery mode (Volume Down + Power also wont work).
Is there another trick to get into recovery, maybe via USB ?

ADB's not playing nice with my XZ1C, probably due to no bootloader unlock. Is there a "Forgot PIN" option on the lockscreen?
IIRC, Sony stock firmware does not have recovery. Maybe try reflashing the phone using Xperia Companion or Flashtool?
A quick search gave me this

Reflashing with the Xperia Companion (with Volume Down while connecting USB) worked, thank you!

Hey guys since i flashed the new firmware via flashtool, my NFC option is really weird in settings. It is turned on after reboot but if you then press it it goes off and you press it again it blinks for a second then goes out again. I gotta reboot to make it normal again!

Hello guys, my cousin came here with his Xperia ZR, for some reason (I mean he's dumb) he forgot the pattern, what can I do? I have never dealed with Xperia phones, I've been reading and I found that Xperia stock recovery just work for updates.
What can I do? I'm trying to do a Factory Reset but I've tried a lot of combinations on each boot that I've did but it just doesn't works, what can I do? Greets

Hi my friends.
Today was very bad day for me. First my bird died, then my phone stops working and i stuck in elevator. I need your help. Afternoon i want to call my buddy for lunch. Everything starts after lockscreen. When i call him phone wont connect to operator then it says no connection and stuck at dialer. I push power button to get lockscreen and it frozen for while then it locks and i opened lockscreen. When i saw launcher phone resets and every time it resets at SONY logo. I flashed my device 3 times or more. I used .233 . 230 and 4.3 . Every time battery shows wrong percentage. Phone opens when i plugged to charge. But if it has sim card it resets. When i disconnect from charger it resets. I try to open USB DEBUGING for install recovery to reset battery info but when i check USB debuging it resets again. You guys have any idea for that problem.
Did you try clean installation?

did you put the phone in flashmode?
Try pushing your simcard back in place, sometimes it'll get out of place, and then you're phone won't connect to network and reboot every time it thinks simcard is removed

Oh, and battery will show right percentage again if you fully charge it

Looks like the is some issue with Sim assembly or can be a software/hardware issue.
As all methods have not worked take the phone to a service center and get it diagnosed
ive got the reboot problem too,
try to use philz touch, go to mount and storage, mount system, factory reset,
go back to mount, mount system, flash rom
keep stamina mode off, so far that has kept my rom stable ( tried to turn stamina mode on and caused a reboot after an hour or so)
im not sure if this a final solution, but its what i am trying
Yesterday i got my device from service. They change full body. I didnt understand what problem couses it. Now everything works fine.
First of all, I don't have any knowledge on Xperia phones(Nexus 4 user)(had unlocked a se xperia neo v once but it pwned my brain)
Secondly, this idiotic 15 year old installed Mcafee and doesn't remember the password. I tried rebooting into recovery and doing a factory reset but it turns out Xperia phones don't have a recovery(??) (lame)
Thirdly, I clicked on 'forgot pin' on mcafee app when xperia boots, but it says I don't have an internet connection. THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RESET THE DAMN PASSWORD?? (The sim has 600+ mb data)
Fourthly, oh my god who the hell uses such crap apps if they cannot even remember a password?
I think I got it. Managed to reset mcafee security but it won't get past lockscreen. And the kid can't explain through the phone(it's the son of my friend's friend) Thing is I will get paid for fixing it and installing CyanogenMod. So, it's urgent for me.
Maybe I could try using Google's own service for remotely wiping data? I will tell m friend to ask for his gmail, but the faster the better. I can't stand unresolved things.
I will try Sony Update Service with the LT30_9.2.A.1.205_CH.rar thing
Wow you guys are fast, thanks for helping! /s

No root and I don't believe the kid has enabled usb debugging. Plus, I cannot get past the screen pattern as he cannot explain it (he's Ukrainian and I'm Greek, so I need my friend to translate) I have downloaded the Sony Update Service but it doesn't list Xperia T under the devices. I also got an .ftf file which I don't know what to do with it.

By sony update service do you mean Sony Pc Companion? when i broke my T(rooted) without access to recovery and, before i learned about flashtool i used Sony PC Companion's support zone to repair phone and install stock ROM and so i had to root my phone again. If this DOES work for you here's the link to Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 or you can download DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333577 . for rooting purposes. Hope this helps :good: Oh and keep the .ftf file, it''l be required if you choose to use flashtool after rooting
Ps. to enter Flashmode you have to keep holding down the volumeDOWN button while you plug in the phone.(Not sure, But the GREEN LED light will lightup. for fastboot it's the opposite, VolumeUP button.(BLUE LED) might have mixed up the buttons )
PC companion couldn't work because I couldn't get pass through the lockscreen pattern. The tried explaining it when my friend first contacted him but he didnt make any sense, he said. xD
I tried flashtool and downloaded latest firmware, everything worked awesome! I have disabled some apps as well as mcafee so he won't do the same mistake again. Thanks guys!
Back to my Nexus 4 goodness, oh my god that was a nightmare compared to samsung and nexus. xD
heheh, Glad i could help Bro
Hello.
So my Z1 touch screen no longer works because of a crack.
Xperia Companion detects the phone, but I can not do anything as it says the screen is locked and asks to unlock the screen to use companion. As the screen is broken, I can not do this!
Is there a way, with this broken screen, that I can get into the phones files and back up old texts, photos etc??
When I go into my PC's devices even there, it shows Xperia Z1 as a drive but it doesn't get into the memory from that for some reason (EDIT - I think because I can't use USB debugging mode because I can't use the phone screen to select that)
Thanks

UB = Unlocked bootloader
LB = Locked bootloader
so you need your data back
no thing you can do but repair ur screen cause if you was have recovery you can use software to screen the recovery
and there is another way by flashing ftf without include data but this will remain your screenlock
sorry but you have to repair your screen to get your staff

CHANGING OR REPLACING SCREEN DON'T RESETS YOUR DEVICE.
YOU DON'T NEED AN BACKUP ACTUALLY BUT IF YOU ARE WISHING TO KEEP IT SAFE USE SONY COMPANIONFOLLOW THIS STEPS
IF THIS HELPED GIVE A THANKS.
