Factory reset - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

So the other day Im out walking my dogs by the lake by my house and I found a TL. It is password protected. I have had it on for a week and no one has called it. I have tried button combo after button combo to get it in to recovery to reset it so that my wife can use it. I have never used a sony how do you boot in to recovery, or do a reset with out getting in to the phone?
thanks

No one able to help?

You need to read carefully.
The ROM *requires* nAa kernel to work and should be flashed in CWM recovery.

you can still recover your back up after you install xreco
Not xRecovery. Just root with x8toolbox, unlock bootloader, install a kernel and flash the ROM in CWM recovery. xRecovery is old, it's not used anymore.
for now i am doing the 2nd option here in this link ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257#post12442257 ....then ill need to get a custom rom rite??

2) flash a kernel
3) wipe data via CWM
4) install rom

[Q] ICS 4.0 odin fail.

And from there i am stuck.
hope someone could help me out!
It looks like the drivers for your phone are not installed. Under the fail box it should say Something like com 6 in yellow if you had the drivers installed and phone connected. Try installing the drivers for the phone again and when its connected to odin you should see a yellow box and you will be ready to flash then.

Install drivers throught Kies. Its one of options whn doing connection rroubleshooting. After reinstall reboot pc. For next steps keep kies closed. It looks also like you did not go into download mode.
Press volume button down, homekey and powerbutton at same time quickly after powering up device. May need couple of tries. Its tricky. Reconnect if not done so phone to pc.
Press volume up to confirm. Now you can flash do not disconnect phone, be patient and wait till device powers back up.

I think it's coz there is nothing to flash and its getting disconnected by itself! That's my best guess.
Now try this do not. Connect the in flash mode at first. Just turn it off and keep it aside now open flash tool and choose flash mode and select the ftf u want to flash and let it prepare for flashing first then it will ask you to connect your phone then put the usb cable and enter flash mode and that's it. It will detect the phone and start that flashing process. Im sure this is gonna work but just incase it doesn't. Post again with screenshots

I have found before connecting phone in flash mode open flashtools then select flash,then select the ftf file, wait for a few moments then flashtools will show you a PIC of when to connect you phone in flashmode.

Flash the .423 kernel with flashtool and then use doomlords method to root
After that you can flash the .235 kernel again if you want.

HOW??
is this method delete my data ??
????????
Download Flashtool
Download .434 Firmware(no matter which region)
Download .253 Firmware(no matter which region)
First flash only .434 Kernel
second step Root
third step flash again your old kernel(.253)
The 'How to' is from an other Thread but I think you have to be able to do that with this as help. I don't have that much time to search all for you.
[*] How to flash 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 Kernel with flashtool?
1) Download any FTF of latest 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware and place it in firmware folder of flashtool.
2) Plug the USB.
3) Open Flash tool and click on the lightning logo.
4) Select Flashmode.
5) Select 10.3.1.A.2.74 or 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware on left side.
6) Uncheck kernel, fota, data, cache & appslog on right side.

I don't think it's necessary to flash any kernels with Flashtool to root 253 (if OP is on 253, he said 235 which I am unaware of being a firmware for the Z).
This should root it directly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
