I have tested on my zl, but sure that it will work on z also.
hey everyone, I found a way to bypass the lock screen and remove the password/ pin from the settings.
well, this i got to know accidently when i was trying to run a code on the phone.
hile i was searching on a sonymobile website, there came a code *#*#73556673#*#* to run the retail demo, after running the demo, my locked phone removed the pin and shown swipe unlock screen.
then i again locked it with password and then run the code from the locked screen through emergency calling number. after that i pressed the home button 2 times and my locked screen changed from password to swipe screen unlock.
NOTE that after pressing this code retail demo starts, and to stop that demo you have to run the code again....... if you want more help, then ask......
so this is easy way to unlock the Xperia zl, it must also work on Xperia z, if you have Z, then please share your views.
I think it is the best way to unlock the phone because it removes the password from settings. old trick was that to access the service menu through emergency number.........
my aim towards posting this trick was to show and tell SONY that they should look upon the security issues and improve the security for the upcoming updated of 4.2..........
please hit thanks if anybody was helped from this post

Did you enter the code again to stop the demo, like it says in the OP?

You need titanium backup to remove it. Just scroll through the list I forgot what it is called exactly, something demo, might be retail demo.

What do you expect? This thread is 8 months old.
The Z was still running Android 4.1 then. Sony fix this type of bug/exploit in new firmware updates.

Nearly 20% people does not upgrade their phone's software, so this is for those.

Yes, it will work for those that stay on old firmware, though I doubt 20% of XDA members with an Xperia Z are on 4.1.2, which is 3 major Android versions out of date.
I was simply responding to someone complaining it didn't work and explaining why.

Okay guys. Sorry if someone have already ask this before... But I couldn't found it. Its there is any list with which xperia z1 you should get for each company? I was thinking about moving to Verizon but I had read that any of the z1 will support their signal. I also saw at&t and T-Mobile. Which one you all recommend? And the signal of this phone is good? I read about WiFi problems and connectivity problems in General. I have a sprint galaxy s3 on sprint and I am done with their signal and I am kind of tired of their design and touchwizz (or how ever you spell it) even if I run a custom ROM here.

Maybe rewriting your question would help
I am not from the US but I really do not understand what you are trying to ask about.
Why don't you just speak to your carrier and see what they say about which is best for you......
Sorry if I misunderstand your situation but I cant get my head around your question
Just curious if anyone thinks that there will eventually be away to unlock xperia z bootloader.
checked mine and says it can not be unlocked according to offical sony steps.
Sent from my C6616 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well, I can't unlock mine either...
If you got it through a carrier, the answer is no. Unless you pay for it at Sony store, i mean.
You can send the pgone over repairs claiming something about the battery, and pray for them to return a new one, but this is my opinion, not a fact
Sent from my SGP321 using xda app-developers app
Im honestly still waiting on that, I don't know why t-mobile wouldn't want Us to be able to unlock the boatloader. It sucks that we pay for it and not able to use it freely to its full potential.
It makes us c6606 users feel left out. Lol

I remember reading online a few months ago, that the S4 Active is currently stated to receive the 4.3 update on 12/24/13. Does anyone have any current information regarding this. Are we finally going to get the update tomorrow?
I've been curious about this myself but without a solid root method for the 4.3 leak that we have im staying on mf1 even if they do have a update.

It was mentioned on a couple websites a few months ago but there were really no details gave about it. It won't happen tomorrow and if it does the international version will get it first. The att users will have to wait.

The thread title says it all. My phone is the Xperia Z3 Compact. I managed to obtain the Camera apk from the HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim, it installs just fine but it force closes when I try to open it.
Stock, unrooted...

Hmm... Point me in the right direction please. I have access to a HTC phone, so I can obtain the files myself. I just need guides on how to go about.
