Hi!
I have a White Sony Z1 C6903
My friend just locked my screen locker for fun... and now he doesn't remember the right swipe to unlock it....
And i have no clue what my google account is neither..the seller was just giving me one and i don't remember it.
I have backup on everything so thats good.
But how can i access my phone again?
When i try PC companion they can't access it because it need to be unlocked.

If you really don't know your Google password, then you have to factory reset it.
Just hold the Volume Up + Power until it vibrates, then use the volume buttons to select the factory reset option.

I can't test it since I have a custom recovery. That should work though. Let go when the menu pops up.
EDIT: The phone needs to be off first.

Maybe you can try bypassing it with ADB or flash a new firmware on it

Download flashtool and download the FTF that you need...use flashtool to flash the FTF...btw doing this will wipe the phone...if you don't know what I am talking about look for a sticky called FTF mega collection or something like that...u will find the FTF that u need and tuts on how to use flashtool etc.

Repairing using pccompanion wipes data anyway, its the same as flashing a firmware
You do not need an unlocked bootloader or root for either.

Don't click the BLU button,. you don't need to, just click on the "flash" button and load your FTF you have downloaded and flash it following the instructions in the FTF mega collection thread
Hello Hackke here i show you another Advice is Use Sony Official Update Tool
SUS~Sony Update Service
Use that tool update your Z1 (current new firmware is .681 )~4.4.2 kitkat ~Bootloader unlock is available
~rooting device is available
Hope u fully unlock your Z1
If it working pls click Thank button

No, but you can force a repair in pccompanion without it

1~i not responsible your phone broke
If u didn't tick usb debug and unknown source
Follow the step below
1~open SIM Card side slot cover use pencil click the RED button (in the picture i shown you ) hold it 3~5sec until it vibrate
2~then your phone is Hard Reseted

This will not get you past the screen lock, this just turns your phone off by powering it down, its the same as pressing the volume up and power button until you get 3 vibrations

Thanks guys for all the respons.
First i have to say that you can't accesses the PC Companion at all when the screen lock is on because you cant accesses the phone's memory at all then i also comes a window on PC companion telling me to unlock the phone because it can't connect to it.
So thats not working.
I've tried pushing all the buttons combination's on the phone to get into recovery mode or hard reset mode, but that docent work either.
I'm not really super bright on this cind of stuff so now i found a swedish page that do these kind of stuffs and send it to them.
When i get my phone back and if it works i'm gonna write all the info how they made it work again.
Again thanks for the effort to trying to solve this and please if you have any more solutions keep posting them.
Mate connect the phone to flashtool and see does it say that u have usb debugging on...make sure u have the drivers installed...btw u don't need to turn the phone off or anything just connect and see...if it says it's on then just flash it with flashtool and that's it

Hi I've been looking through the forums and haven't been able to find anything to help with this. Recently I rooted my phone and tried installing CM10.1. As I was doing the process trough CWM it all seemed to work fine until I went to reboot the phone and it was supposed to restart instead it never booted up again. When I hold down the power button it vibrates but nothing happens. When I put it to charge the red LED lights up and when I connect it to the computer it recognizes that something is connected in the USB but doesn't recognize what it is. Sony is giving me trouble for repair because I bought it internationally (UK variant). Any help would be very much obliged, thanks in advance.

Dont download from sony site.. thats emma its different
This is the flashtool you need https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool
Like everyone else has said get Flashtool, get firmware, flash firmware and you should be okay. Also make sure you actually went through the whole bootloader process.
6.You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
7. Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
8. Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
9. Select 'Open command window here'
10. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
11. In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
12. If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
13. Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
I didnt follow numbers 6-13 and for a good 2 weeks i was having a really bad time. I would try and flash boot.img and what not and nothing would happen or i would soft brick.

You can get into download mode right? Flash stock rom again through a kdz flashing method. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 and the stock firmware here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15

Try to run in compatibility mode with xp ... Got windows enabler on ?
i think the guide there at step 7 is a bit wrong. how can you disable the phone and flash the rom ? if the pc cant "see" the machine connected , is it even possible ? ...
it didnt work. when i installed the usb drivers the windows couldnt recognise the phone. i switched the driver from mobile to portable something. i had only 2 available choices at the manage section if i didnt check to show compatible only machines. after switching to that driver... ( curse windows and their bugs ) , automatically switched back to mobile.... and my phone was connected to my pc....after that i continued with the flash rom and now its back working. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im new to android. i has iphone since years.

i am ready to donate to anyone who help bcs i got this phone new ( 3/4 weeks old ) and i rly loved it
That's a hard brick, and there's nothing you can do there, only if you had a setool box you could recover it. I bricked my T by messing up with the bootloader, after a lot of research I sent my T to Sony saying that I didn't know what happened, it wasn't booting. A month and some weeks after i received a free new T.
Maybe you will continue reasearching, but I don't think you are gonna find anything, my best advice is to send it to Sony as faster as possible, so you will have it quicker. Also don't mention unlocked bootloader or anything, play it crazy.
but i do not have a warrenty i got it without warrenty

Well, then restore it? Alternatively, you can try to flash a stock firmware through flashtool. That should reset the partition table.

That's why is called a hard brick. Soft bricks are easy. If you mess with the partition table you are asking for trouble if you don't know what you are doing.

Can you get into flash mode? Green led? Then it is not hard bricked. (If you did not ever touched mmcblk0p1.) Remove all drivers, install them again, try different version of flashtool, etc.

If you can't get into flash mode (green led, while connecting and holding volume down), then your battery is dead and you must charge it elsewhere (or buy new battery) or it's really bricked.
i unstalled the driver and reinstalling them but QHSUSB_DLOAD searching for driver then it changed the name to ZEUS Flah driver

setools is hardware and software combo for sony phones, you must buy data card to use setools if not card mean you cannot use setools to flash any thing first your phone must at least can boot into flash mode, fastboot mode or cwm, if all of those cannot, then you can bin your phone:crying::crying:

Not true, even if you don't have proof of purchase Sony will still repair your phone under the 2 year warranty, they use the manufacturer code on the phone displayed as 11w22 11 being the year and w22 being week 22 of that year.
I have sent in two phones which I bought of ebay and they have repaired them under warranty with no questions asked. So to the OP if you just do what was suggested, to send in the phone in and act dumb that you dont know what happened it could work
best of luck buddy

already sent it acted like a dump kid and they told me u will have to pay 90% of ur mobile price to fix it bcs the motherbored
but i have found alot of peopls got the same problem
like z ultra users and z1 they fixed there with s1tool
nexus 4 users and htc users got the same problem and fixed it ! why not xperia v users we are all android ! please help :s
Hello all,
I recently installed Mondified (4.2.2 version) to my Z1, and then last night had a sudden urge to upgrade to a 4.3 or 4.4 based custom ROM.
I first copied the custom ROM zip file to USB, then used an OTG cable to plug into my Z1. I then did a factory wipe, so I could install the ROM, but then received an error while installing.
I then decided to go back to stock using the FlashTool provided by Sony, so installed everything (drivers, flashtool etc...), and reboot my phone. Now I cannot go into the recovery mode, and I also cannot flash my Z1, because it is caught in a boot loop.
What can I do from here? I cannot type in the ADB commands, since it's in an eternal recovery loop, and I also cannot access the custom recovery for some reason... I recently bricked my HTC One, and now I'm fearing the worst
Hello there. You said bootloop, didn't you? Fortunately, you're a bit lucky here. The device just refuse to boot, which mean you can flash kernel from fastboot. First question, do you feel a vibration after long press power + volume up button? Do see red led flashing?

Hi, it goes from "SONY" --> reboot --> "SONY" like that over and over. I deleted the OS (factory wipe), but for some reason I cannot go into recovery mode.
When I long press power + volume up, I get 3 vibrations, but no lights or led flashing. Right now it's not even showing the "SONY" logo.
Thank you,
John
-On a side note-
I am willing to send $100 to whoever can fix my Z1, and another $100 to whoever can help fix my HTC One. If the same person helps to fix both phones, I'd be willing to pay him/her $250 USD total (all via paypal gift)
I work at a fortune 500 company so my word is my promise, plus I would be negating a lot of monetary loss if I cannot resolve the brick issue!

Ok, you have flashtool don't you? Last time you flashed your phone, the flashtool recognized your device don't it?
Anyway, if you need fast conversation let me know (send me PM). I'll give my contact you. So we can communicate faster.

Hi, I randomly tried something, and it worked (last time the flashtool could not recognize my phone). basically instead of Power + Volume up, I pressed the softkey "back" button, and plugged in the USB cable. The flashtool was able to recognize my phone and I fixed it !!!!
Omegahanggara, can you help fix my HTC One? I saw your PM and just wondering... if you can, I would still be willing to send you the $100
Thanks!

Basically, I did a very stupid thing.
First: I had a custom ROM installed (Android version 4.3)
Second: I decided to upgrade to Kitkat 4.4 via OTA.... I used to be an Apple user, and it was much simpler with iphones... Naturally this was a big mistake.
Symptom: The phone is stuck at Google Logo. BTW, this is the HTC One Google Play Edition. The one thing that gives me hope, is when I boot the phone and press Power button + Volume Down, I'm taken to the bootloader menu. However, I have trouble getting my computer to recognize the device, when I try to push a custom recovery to my phone. (I forget how I deleted the custom recovery, but it's not there anymore)
Have you tried to another computer? Using Linux is a good choice if your PC didn't recognize your device.

Hmm I have CentOS running on VMplayer, maybe I'll try to see if it will recognize it from there, and let you know.
Good to know you're using Linux. This will not too hard, then

Can you connect your phone to your PC and open a terminal on your centos, and type there "lsusb" (without quotes). Then post the results here. We'll see that your centos can really discover your phone.

There you go, your device is detected (see the last line). This is a good news, at least we know that your device isn't hard brick. Can you go to fastboot mode with your phone?

yeah I am able to go into fastboot I think. Not 100% sure so attached a pic. This is the Google Play Edition btw~

Try to find any stock kernel with recovery mode, like CWM. Then flash it via fastboot.

Hey there i just noticed few things so just to make it clear igot Z from trade S3 for Z i dont have waranty all i have is a box phone and Swedish manuals. Im a bit confused cause box says its C6603 and bottom of the phone says the same C6603 after pressing *#06# imei shows the same as on the box from C6603 but when i go to settings and check device info it says C6602 http://zapodaj.net/bc7beb6231a48.png.html ill upload 2 images to let you guys check whats wrong. http://zapodaj.net/b8d6cd6d7be46.png.html
What makes me wonder how the hell I have C6602 fw in C6603? Any solutions? My phone so far stuck on 4.1.2 can't even update via OTA cause it says my phone got all updates so should I somehow install a proper soft with latest update 4.4 to C6603 or C6602? Im confused since I haven't got those kind of problems with any of my phones.

You wont need to root for flashing :good: don't worry go ahead and happy flashing
PS: Take a data backup as clean flash will wipe all data
I changed my config number to get generic US FW because my phone was running indian FW. Basically if you root, you can modify some text in a configuration file and trick the phone into thinking it's a model that it really isn't. More info here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-change-si-sony-xperia-z-t2271530
Root is also super easy - Google towel root, it is a recently discovered exploit that allows for one click rooting more or less.
