Actually,no need to reset your phone.Don't wipe your data or it will be gone. Here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYdkgO1KHmk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I guess you are talking about unlock pattern
First of all you can disable it at settings>location&security>set up screen lock>pattern.
If you have stolen a phone(lol) and you don't know what's the pattern, you can always full wipe from cwm or restore with pccompanion or seus or flash stock with flashtool

Yup...
I cracked my own lock from that tutorial (just testing)
But it needs USB debugging on to do that..

Yes I'm sending this from prison.....luckily they didn't take it back when they arrested me because the user had already bought a new phone and he realized that x8 is sh!t so he didn't want it back.

I'm not sure if you just told that you want to steal a phone or you asked how to lock a phone when someone fail to enter the pattern multiple times
I don't know how you can do this but personally I don't see any reason for this,you want to add a lock to the lock so you lock your phone while its locked
Or I just didn't get what you asked:/

Ok what am asking is that if my phone got stolen and who stole it entered the pattern wrong i wanna factory reset the phone not lock it but wipe the data partition . The apps and my personal info.

I don't know if its possible but you can be more careful with your phone,so it wont get stolen
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

so you want to factory reset your phone if it got stolen? why do you want to factory reset your phone when it was stolen on the first place? unless you knew the thief anyway, just wanna share, if you failed to enter the correct unlock pattern for 3 times, you will be asked to wait for 30 seconds to re-enter the pattern, then, after re-try for 10 times, and you still unsuccesful to draw the right unlock pattern, you will be asked to enter your google account. after you enter it, it is back to re-enter the unlock pattern. im not sure what is your question on the first place, and if this answer your question

Afaik there will always be even a small chance of something going wrong. But then
It's the 11w29+ phones that are really at risk.
Goodluck lukenda. And if you do get your bl unlocked, thanks for your help for those of us with 11w29+.

As everyone said before, it's safe as long as the phone isn't sim-locked.
However, regarding Jelly Bean -- as nobodyAtall said on his CM10 development thread, it's "a best effort to support the unsupportable" or something like that; our X8 really, really shouldn't go any further than 2.3. I'm currently on 4.0 and it leaves a lot to be desired -- 2.3 roms are *much* snappier, but for some reason I get terrible battery life on those (that's why I'm on 4.0)
How can i be sure that my phone is not sim lock.
Without inserting various sim cards,thanks

Read Bootloader unlock threads for thatv sim certificate. Everything is explained there.
Mine X8 is 11W19 and i had no problems with unlocking bootloader.
Are u seriously asking these or u are testing us.. u have been here since quite a long time and know a lot more than many of us around..
Any way you can check out the thread by spyderx on unlocking with all the methods and details or mine below for a simple one with some usefull links..
And yes i haven't heard anyone complaining about brick for the one's below 11W29, still no one can assure u on that, there are always a few chances if something goes wrong(very small chance )..
Good luck.. :thumbup:
No risk is involved, but use your brain a little bit.
Im sure you will be happy after unlocking ur bootloader.
Hey, ur not a noob, though its ur choice
You should read related threads for unlocking bootloder and then follow proper procedure.
U will definitely succeed.
Gud luck

[Q] Xperia X8 won't turn on!

Hello! I have tried to unlock bootloader on my Xperia X8 and i run msm7227 then my phone turned off and after that i can't:
-Turn it on.
-Go into flash mode.
and my computer won't recognize it. I have been reading every single post for that problem and everyone says "Go into flash mode" or "Install PC Companion and repair phone" etc.
If anyone has the same problem please help.
Thanks
What did the sticker at the back of the battery say? If it's 11w29+ then it's a hard brick.

What now?
Try taking it to any shop that fixes phones. Or if you're real good at it use JTAG to revive the phone.
This is happening to a friends phone which I tried to update as I did with mine...
In my cellphone, it worked. On his, it's a hard brick...
Now I'm looking for a shop where they can fix it... do you know maybe the average price for this kind of repair?
PS: If you still have warranty, take it to where you bought it, and say that you left it loading overnight and the next morning you found that you can't turn it on. They'll replace it right away =)

Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
Its sad to say that your phone is hardbriked..there are several posts in this forum which clearly says you should NOT TRY to unlock the boot loader on phones manufactured PAST 11W29..Anways
You have 3 options
1. Go to Sony service center (Recommended)
2. Use GTAG to unbrick..(only experienced ppl can do this i suppose.)
3. A software called SETool2 can also unbrick your phone if you are ready to pay some credits. Check this .
Happy unbricking and do post your experience if you use options 2 or 3.

Possible bootloader unlock?

Was just an idea.. If the bootloader is not unlockable because of the carrier, that would lead me to believe it is something deep in the firmware that is not deleted via a flash. What if you were to sim unlock the phone, wipe the os right off it and re format everything, flash a stock generic kernal and os?

Ok! Is there any info on why it wouldnt work? I mean I can understand wiping the deviceat firmware level wouldn't work.. But what if you went deeper? What if you were to repartition the disk, and start it from scratch?

If it were that simple it would have been done on every locked device long time ago... Sorry m8. But it's always good to have ideas.

[Q] Forgot password

Hey,
I think this has been asked before but i will just do it once again to confirm because the problem isn't at my own phone.
The problem is the following:
My cousin has a Samsung galaxy mini 2 and she turned on her password screen lock ( a word as password instead of numbers
but she forgot her password
Because I won't lose any data or photo's and that kind of stuff so i started looking for a way to fix this problem.
What i found was, but it is only usable on ICS and GB is to fill in a wrong password as much as possible till it says:
try again within 30 sec because than you will get the option forgot pin/password
It was possible to get this option but I had to flash GB or ICS with odin --> will I still have all may data by choosing this option?
Is there any other option to get my data, photo's etc. safe or is it just flashing a rom and say bye to all your data?
Thanks in advance,
Pieter

That's not too kind...
BTW if you wipe from stock recovery, you will lose only settings, contacts, apps. If she has a google account (I guess she has as she has android), then log in and sync. It will restore everything except for settings.

There is a method using adb, no data loss i tried it myself. But the one i tried was on pattern instead of password. So i would recommend you to search for adb method for password. There is a change of little command. I will tell in detail with link tomorrow.
