Hello there,
I have a Sony Experia E. My niece has entered a password accidentally and now it is locked. I tried to hard reset it but the combination 'volume down + power button' doesn't do anything. It just turns the phone on. Also, I tried to hard reset it using the pc companion but that doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't even recognize the phone. So, I can't access the pre-boot menu with none of the standard methods.
Is there maybe an alternative way to get around this problem? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

did you tried to reflash the ftf with flash tool?
Do you have your BOOTLOADER unlocked?
If YES, there's a simple method to break your PASSWORD..
Let me know your answer..
Sony xperia e
Thank you for your replies.
At the end the only cure I had was to take the phone to a service. After 15 days they've unlocked it and sent it back.
Anyway, thanks again.

I rooted my device "Xperia x10 mini pro" using 'Unlock Root', unlocked Bootloader, installed BusyBox and Root Explorer. Installed xRecovey, CMW Recovery and whatever it was required to REBOOT into recovery.
Switched Off my phone & pressed back button when Sony Ericsson logo appeared but nothing happened. It didn't into recovery.
I am so disappointed now and don't know what to do to get into recovery
It would be a great help if you could let me out from my problem.
Thank You
Model Number:U20i
Build Number:2.1.1.A.0.6

You have to keep smashing the back button until the recovery appears.

hold power and vol up button and release power after it turned on if you come into recovery mode your done : )
None of these methods work for me.
I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader, have xrecovery on it, I was even using the custom rom for a while, but when I tried to restart and enter recovery, I couldn't.
Now my rom will not even start up normally, and I can't get FlashTool to force it into recovery since the phone has to be turned on for flashtools to do that.
Am I seriously going to have to do the whole rooting procedure all over again?
EDIT: Solved omfg You really have to keep SMASHING that Back button, holding it does nothing!
Thnx, and God bless HTC.

Hello!
I try to hard reset my sister phone today using this methods:
- Pc Companion
- Vol up + power button
I even try flashtool and emmy to help me remove this lock screen (my sister changed it and now she don't remember...)
I also can not unlock bootloader with FlashTool.
When I press vol up + power button phone vibrate like this
- 1 time
- 3 time
- 1 time
and it loops like that. one vibration, then three, then one again. What's wrong with my phone? It is possible that phone is locked "harder" becouse she try so many times and fail? Around 150.. USB debug mode is turned off
Of course she don't remember his gmail account details (isn't it obvious) I don't know how to help her, any ideas?
Now, the only solution you have in this scenario is by using the repair option of Sony PC Companion or you can also use flashtool to flash your firmware again.

You need to flash the stock rom again. There is no other way to hard rest the phone.
I have tipo dual.

try entering android recovery.
There you will have the option to factory reset the phone.
When the phone boots and sony logo shows press volume up button or volume down button repeatedly.(I forgot which one exactly )
Then you will enter android recovery.
Hit thanks if I helped.

I think, he don't have custom recovery installed.
To go in custom recovery reboot the phone start pressing volume down button repeatedly until you get in recovery.

No, Tipo don't have stock recovery. We need to install custom recovery.
I've tried to reset my locked phone with every method that I found and it still doesn't work. My Xperia Z3 D6603 is locked with a password I can't remember. I've tried pressing the yellow button near the SIM card, I've tried the code with *#*# at the beginning, I've tried installing PC and Xperia Companion, I've tried pressing the power and volume down button; the volume up and down and the power button after. I don't understand why it doesn't work for my phone!! I'm desperate! I want to recover my phone, I can't do anything with it. I can't seem to find a solution. PLEASE HELP ME SOON!
Problem solved. I successfully reset it from the PC Companion, even though I lost my data, at least I got my phone to work again.
Hello everyone,
I have unlocked the bootloader and since then the power button does not respond :-(
It works because I can turn on the tablet but otherwise impossible to use it, both on the bootloader and on android
I have tried all the manipulations (back to stock rom several times) but nothing works
I can't lock now the bootloader because it's impossible to confirm...
I'm not sure where this is coming from and if there is a solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me
