First power off your android.
Hold power on and volume down button simultaneously and wait for 5 seconds.
when you see sony logo then release keys.
Now you are entered in recovery mode.
Use volume down button for navigating and power button for selection.
Select factory data reset option.
I have tried hard reset . But it doesn't work . My phone doesn't boot in recovery mode.

Did you remove battery before pressing vol down + power????
note :- if you able to boot in recovery mode try these method first before factory reset

1. Switch off your phone
2. Hold Vol+ and Power, keep hold until 10secs disappear
3. Wipe cache and format data
4. Restart
Same thing, but the screen is dark and won't come up. So, I can't navigate to power off, or unlock as the SIM is still locked - very new phone. Hard key for power off, anyone? Want to try hard reset.
I have my brothers phone which has been dormant for a couple years. He wants to use it again but forgets the unlock pin. How can I reset the phone e.g. through recovery mode etc. (by the way, I can't enter recovery mode from off state using power and -vol)
Can anyone help step me through it?
N.B. I can not use the main menu
Cheers
Hello,
I am having trouble to do factory reset with my phone.
During Factory Reset it is asking for a PIN.
Input my PIN (Incorrect)
Removed my PIN (still asking for a PIN)
Changed my PIN (still Incorrect)
Tried doing hard reset (Power and Vol -), the phone will vibrate but black screen.
Tried using Android Multi Tool, cannot detect my device (always offline)
Tried using Sony Companion, when my phone tries to reboot it will fail.
Phone model is 501SO.
Bootloader is locked.
