[Q] Help with locked phone after too many pattern attempts

A friend of mine managed to lock his phone after too many pattern attempts. He doesnt remember the answer to the secret question nor does he remember his google account. What can he do? He doesnt mind if his files are deleted in the process. He doesnt have internet, thats why he isnt asking himself. Thank you in advance.

He must to flash ftf file of rom which he use with flashtool, and uncheck "delete data"! If he will check that he will lose all his data! That's the only solution!:laugh:

I was searching to find another solution and i found a really easy one. I just downloaded pc companion and from the support zone clicked software update and then repair. Thanks anyways.

the only way to fix it is to WUPE DATA a.k.a factory reset. The android cannot write in system without root

I have tried every thing that I could do to bring my phone to stock and claim warranty , but I was not able to succeed in any method that I tried..
Following are the methods which I tried to reset my phone and to bring it to stock-
1- done factory reset - (not worked)
2- try to reset using PC Companion but now PC Companion is not detecting my phone
3- At the end I thought of fixing this issue using FLASH TOOL , I have the new Android 4.2.2 16.0.B.2.6 firmware.ftf update of Xperia C, but when I tried to install it using the flashtool, it also not working at all. When ever I starts flashing it getting abort again and again... :crying:

Root your phone definitely voids warranty and unrooting brings it back, only if the members of service center don't find that u have rooted your phone ...
and I want to sent my phone to service center so that I can find out that my my phone's warranty is still claimable or not. and if claimable they I can get my phone in way it was 1 day of purchase ...
And frankly saying I don't remember that which In-built software I delete when I rooted my phone, so please paste here all the apps which are in system folder, or tell me how can I transfer them in system folder again, Do I need to root my phone again.. thanks..

Thanks for your reply :fingers-crossed:
But, @chauhanjayc is absolutely Rite, Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and do customization reset is exactly the same of doing factory reset of your cell phone, as I have removed my some system apps so they are removed form the system of my phone, so factory rest or Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and do customization reset will not bring them back , but I appreciate your reply:fingers-crossed:

ok let me try this I haven't tried it... thanks..

this one is for those who are stuck at sony logo (bootloop)
and sony comp. is for those who are able to boot
basically this one is a official flash tool and pc comp. is a sony pc kit having some of extra features....

Thanks. So i could either use them to repair my xperia if i want to go back to stock.

yap
matter is what is the condition of your phone
use this tools accordingly
now one major benefit of pc comp. is even if you are upgrading or repairing your phone it will keep you phone on until the software download finishes ,
where in sony update service will do ask you to connect you phone in flash mode so no way you can use your phone while software is downloading...

[Q] How to install CWM without USB debugging in Xperia Tipo(Dual)

My friend's phone got locked and he forgot pattern and security question of his Xperia Tipo Dual, and he dont want to reset or root the phone.
I've got one method to fix this from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686539 and I read some threads about Xperia recovery modes and i came to know that this (or maybe all) xperia has no stock recovery. USB debugging, WIFI and Data is not enabled. I've tried to remove the gesture.key with adb, but it throws a message "No device found". I don't know how to install CWM or TWRP.
Is there any way to sort out this?
Eagerly waiting for the reply..!
Thank you.

I've tried it before doing such experiments with adb and all.
I've tried with all Google accounts which my friend was used. ! but not able to log in and shows that invalid username or password.
(I'm pretty sure that, usernames and passwords are spelled and typed accurately)
Thanks.

I know this wouldn't help. I flashed a fresh rom and lent it to my brother. Unless you sign in with the existing google account you cannot sign in or login to the phone.

Cannot access Android phone because of google account

A while back we purchased a Android smart phone for my Father who is not very good with tech.
In order to download apps from the Playstore he created a new google account and he did not write it down anywhere, everything was working fine until the phone got into a rebooting loop and I have to reset the phone to factory settings.
Now the phone loads ok, but it's asking me to enter the google account it was using before the reset! and I don't have it. I don't know the password or the account name or email address what ever you want to call it, and the phone is not letting me to the next step of set up without this.
I tried entering the mobile number but that is taking me to his actual gmail account not the one he created to use the Googleplay store.
Please help!!

That's FRP, you need to bypass it.

Try this - [video tut]

That is what I did to Factory reset my phone but during the phone setup it asks me for the google account which was used before the factory reset

after the factory reset the phone asks you to select a language, connect to wifi, then asks me for the old google account used "which my father doesn't know"
