If you can access this through any means possible, then delete the gesture key. It keeps the information about the screen lock.
/data/system/gesture.key

How Can I Access ?!

Do you have a custom recovery installed? is your phone rooted? What ROM are you running?
Either way, in order to ensure fastboot is working, download the Flashtool for Xperia devices.
Then (assuming you're running Windows) go to C:\Flashtool\drivers and run Flashtool-drivers.exe. On the components page, select the adb drivers for your device family and the common fastboot drivers.
Also ensure you're using a USB 2 port, not USB 3.

Moto g 2 gen's display shut downs after locking the phone or after 'screen time out'

I have Moto g 2nd Gen Indian edition phone
I have been experiencing a strange issue with my phone from past week, when I lock down my phone via power button or closing the cover of magnetic flip-shell or whether it locks it down itself after 'screen time out' automatically the display just shut downs.
The phone is actually working in background as I can see LED notification sometimes. And when I connect my phone to PC via USB it even shows the Internal storage folder. I can even feel vibration on Powering off the device.
When I try to reboot the device, it boots up normally with Motorola logo animation and everything works fine until device gets lock down and this scenario continues as I reboot it again.
Sometime I can feel the bottom speaker grill getting hotter until I 'Power Off' the device forcefully.
So far I have tried fast booting the phone it boots up normally but issue is still there.
I even tried to run the phone in the safe mode but the issue persist even in safe mode.
I even wiped cache partition and also performed 'Factory Reset' via hard reset and soft reset but nothing is working.
I want to clarify that my phone isn't under warranty and also I have not even tempered my phone's software it is completely stock with android version 5.0.2 (recently updated via OTA).
I'm not allowed to post the image as a new user that's why I have written some software specific detail as below.
System version: 22.56.3.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 retin
Build No: LXB22.99-16.3
Base band version: MSM8626BP_1032.3112.96.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST
Kernel version: 3.4.42-g0bea67a

I don't think the 'Power Button' can be faulty as it's working as intended properly and almost all the time I use the official Motorola 'Magnetic flip-shells' so I rarely use the power button.
I suspect that this issue may have been caused by some virus or malware as I had visited some torrent hosting and too much ad hosting sites before the issue started.
I contacted Motorola support via chat session and they asked me to get it to the service center, but I have read very bad reviews about service center near my location and I'm afraid to go there.
Although I'm a software developer but in the area of 'Android development' I'm totally noob so joined the XDA to solve the issue with the help of experts.
Can I have some suggestion, solution on this issue? Any help of yours is appreciated.
Also I want to know that if 'Hard reset' can't solve the issue, does that mean the software of device has corrupted?
Try a hard reset first
If not solved use an easy installer

Well Hello sir thanks for the prompt reply, as I said earlier:
So far I have tried fast booting the phone it boots up normally but issue is still there.
I even tried to run the phone in the safe mode but the issue persist even in safe mode.
I even wiped cache partition and also performed 'Factory Reset' via hard reset and soft reset but nothing is working.
So hard reset is not working for me which I have performed 2-3 times, I guess I have to go through your another suggestion.
Ok, so by 'easy installer' did you mean this method described in below link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612
I think method in #Post 1 is for my phone.
Does anyone have other solution or advise? Your guidance will be appreciated.

Thank you,
The Easy installer method requires 'USB debugging enabled and RSA key Allowed', so I have enabled 'USB debugging' but I never get the 'RSA key allowed' dialogue.
I tried to attach cable to the different USB ports but I never get the 'RSA Key allowed' dialogue, How can I overcome this issue?
Thats not a pblm get in just fastboot mode click installer and select option for locked boot loader

that 'Phone must have USB debugging enabled and RSA key Allowed, Usb cable plugged in and in normal use mode'
1. I have USB debugging enabled. If I plug in my Moto G a icon appears in the Notification-Center which says "USB debugging activated please click to disable"
2. if I go into the Device Manager I can see Android Device
3. I changed my USB-Setting to PTP
but nothing works.

no it does NOT require USB debugging anymore (that was version 1) You must be able to put phone manually into AP FASTBOOT mode by correct key combo
read instruction in zip file and attached here

Thank you @reefuge sir for the reply.
Does that mean I don't need Phone with 'USB debugging with RSA key allowed'?
All I have to do is to run the 'Magical batch file' of yours and watch the magic show in PC?
Ok one more question, I don't want to irritate you but I'm helpless and confused,
I wanted to ask you that after following this step in sequence:
1] ALL needed files are in the zip file you downloaded TO PC (not phone) including stock ROM files
2] Install Motorola device manager 2.5.4.exe for correct Usb drivers (choose repair if already installed) and install minimal ADB /fastboot v 1.31.exe
3] plug in Usb cable and PUT phone into AP Fastboot Flash mode
4] by holding power and volume down ( - ) until phone powers off to blank screen (may vibrate)
5] still holding both buttons count 1,2,3,4,5 and release both same time
6] Hopefully you should be in AP Fastboot Flash mode with USb cable plugged in?
7] if No go back to step [3] if YES continue
8] do not select anything on phone or press any more phone buttons - All done via pc no
9] Now run the EASY INSTALLER.bat file and watch both pc screen and phone screen
I assume that your program will show me following different menu options:
1)Flash stock ROM --- will flash stock rom / Logo / boot & recovery.img / modem files and bootloader -- this DOES NOT wipe phone so can upgrade / dirty flash keeping settings
2)Lock bootloader --- as above but locks boot loader --- tbh always better to use option 1)
3)Flash Fixed Logo -- Fixes the unlocked Boot Loader Warning EVEN if unlocked still
4)Reboot Phone -- Reboots phone --
5)Factory Reset --- wipes DATA and CACHE --- IF phone hangs at BOOT LOGO, do this Action. ALWAYS use if DOWNGRADING or Coming from A CUSTOM ROM
6)Exit --- Closes command prompt window and exits
from above 6 menu options, which options do I have to follow(related to my phone's condition) in sequence to revive my phone?
I have moto g which is unrooted, stock and with locked bootloader.
You valuable reply is appreciated

[Q] If its still possible to remove the pattern lock of xperia z1

Hi, I'm new here. I want to ask if its still possible to remove the pattern lock of xperia z1. I bought this phone on olx with crack lcd. Now I fix the lcd but the problem is there is a pattern lock in it. I already ask the seller about the pattern lock but she too already forgot it.
1st problem - The phone is not rooted and usb debugging is not enabled so I cannot use adb and odin.
2nd problem - The volume down button is not working and I cannot enter recovery mode, but the volume up button is working and fastboot is ok.
Is it still possible to remove the pattern lock or reset the xperia z1 to its factory state. Please help me.. Thanks..

Not sure if it will work on locked bootloader but try
fastboot erase userdata
If it fails unlock the bootloader :silly:
That will wipe data for sure. But you will lose DRM keys.

I don't think we can do this without USB debugging.
Also, OP, ODIN is for samsung only, isn't it?

Fastboot is completly independent from system on our device (There are some devices that need some option enabled in developer settings to allow OEM unlock but xperias don't.
So it doesn't need USB debugging enabled.

Hi, I already solved the first problem by changing xperia z1 flex with a working one. Then using s1tool to remove all userdata then flashing the official rom. It works for a month then theres a new problem.
One day my sony xperia z1 suddenly wont turn on after charging it overnight. Volume up + power button don't work. When I charge it it's just a solid red light. When pushing the power button while the phone is charging the red light don't blink either. Fastboot mode and flashboot don't work. When connected to pc you will hear a beep saying that the phone is connected then you will another beep saying it is disconnected. When connected to ubuntu you will see it as sony telling the phone is connected. I use lsusb command. I tried it flashing with s1tool and its working fine. The flashing process works perfectly without error.
Can somebody tell me what is the possible problem with my phone? Sorry for my bad english and thank's! Please help me..

**HELP** Flashed TWRP Zip file. Phone reboots into black screen after boot logo.

Cannot get into recovery. Device seems to be bricked.
After Sony logo there is nothing else other than black screen. Please help me recover my device.
Don't Panic, this can easily be recovered. However the data that was inside I'm afraid is gone forever. Maybe it can be recovered maybe not, anyway I'm giving you some easy steps you can follow to recover your device.
1. Download Flashtool
2. Download the Firmware you want to load into the phone. (Search in the forum for .ftf ---make sure it is for Xperia Z --- files or you can download Xperifirm and make them on your own)
3. Once you have the .ftf file ready click on the Flash (Lightning) icon and select the firmware (.ftf) [Mode to flash is FLASHMODE]
4. When the phone is just one second from booting up (I know you are now in a cycle - loop but try as many times until you get it right), with the VOLUME DOWN button pressed connect it into the PC.
5. Wait for flash - About 10-15 min and you are done.
For any questions ask here. Good luck
I recovered my phone via Sony PC companion. Succesfuly managed to flash dual recovery again. Flashed ROM and Gappps.

Hi, Flash mode is working for me. I have recovered couple of times using flashtools in flash mode. But fastboot mode is not working for me. It says drivers are missing though I have installed drivers..
I went through tthe threads and could find a workking method to unlock the bootloader. Sony has too many appps which I do not need, I want to get rid of them as it consumes a lot of batttery. Hence a custom Rom with basic stuffs arre the soolution.
If you can help me unlock my BL I'd be thankful
And one more question, does TWRP's Latest version only works for Unlocked BL ?

First, Try to do things in order!!!
You are very messy, first you needed to unbrick the device, now you want to unlock its BL and want to know if you can install TWRP!
Install a stock firmware, make sure you can unlock the phone (by checking in the settings menu)...
And post some info...
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Good for you, for anyone who needs to install fastboot driver on windows 10, when they cannot install they need to disable windows driver signature:

I would like to know if there are custom kernels available for battery saving ? I flashed Zomie kernel and it was repeatedly booting my device into multirom recovery.
Right now I am on mokee, can I use any custom kernel with it ? If yes what ? I couldnt find many custom kernels for the device and what about Roms ? Not many custom Roms as well, only found RR and Mokee. Slim LP does not have a working link and couldnt find other popular roms too for this device.
I never tried new kernels, only thing install Kernel Adiutor and underclock, also change the governor mode.
As for the rom I use the modified stock rom by @androidexpert35, it provides good balance between performance and battery life. For any Rom you should write in their dedicated post. Keep experimenting but do it in a reasonable way and don't try to ask for everything, search and read others. Good luck

xperia Z1 crashed screen,forgotten pattern, and USB debugging OFF !!, HELP please!!

hello,
It's worst scenario I could imagine, My sisters Xperia Z1 dropped on street floor and crashed almost 70% of the screen,
touch is working on the remain area, she left the device for a while, and now she need some contacts, sms, pics from it, she forgot the pattern, and forgot the google mail associated !!.
I tried many ways described in many sites to remove the pattern without removing stored data, but the way ends at USB debugging OFF on the device,
please any one can lead my to how to unlock it ?
and in worst case if we can reset the device totally , how to do that? and can we use some app to recover data?
any help would be so appreciated.
thanks

If she has recovery, you should be able to start recovery and from there you can connect the phone to computer and have access to internal card. If there is no recovery and bootloader is unlocked, fastboot TWRP and do the same. If bootloader is locked, and there is a google account prompt, I doubt you'd be able to get to data. But google the options...
Hello,
I'm Afraid there is no recovery available ,
as I check about fastboot TWRP recovery, it needs first the device to be rooted and "Enabled USB debugging " ; means need the device to be opened and rooted and Enabled USB debugging !.
any idea please ?
unlock bootloader using fastboot mode via flashtool, then fastboot flash twrp.
then boot into recovery and attach your device to pc.
links that might help are below
twrp recovery
how to unlock bootloader
how to flash with adb fastboot
If you don't have anything particulary worth saving on it, then just flash a fresh rom with flashtool.

ok, get this one:
http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
it works like a charm. And it has firmware downloader built in.
after unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, you want to delete the file password.key in /data/system/ using this:

then it should be unlocked. good luck.

no custom recovery no bootloader unlock, no factory reset, need ideas

Hi,
so i got a situation here that xiaomi mi a2 (6x) out of nowhere rebooted to factory recovery with message "cant load android system. your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message you may need to perform factory reset deleting all data stored on this device"
Now after turning it off and on, it shows black screen "failed to boot" with option to power off or restart.
When restarting it goes to factory recovery again with that message and option to factory reset or try again (restart)
Now i cant perform factory reset before backing up the data, but i cant find the way to backup.
There is no custom recovery to download files from phone. When tried to flash custom recovery found out i cant because bootloader locked. And when found the way (dont know i it works) to unlock it without loosing data - cant do even that because developer options must be enabled to allow unlocking and debugging, so i get message in adb console FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed.
Is there any other way to keep the data before doing factory reset ?
Maybe try to flash with miflash keeping the data

unfortunately miflash cant do anything with locked bootloader as well. Just when starts to flash, gets error with bluetoth_a.
After research i noticed that miflash does nothing special at all just automated flash commands. In rom directory you can find flashing .bat files and run them in adb console.
When did that got all the data log, that bluetooth a is the first file that is tried to flash and stuck on locked bootloader.
Hello. Did you manage to solve your problem?
I have the same saituation.
Hi, unfortunately the only way i found is EDL mode.

When you keep those pins shorted, plug usb to your pc, and then , simply said, pc sees it as another device that can be flashed with everything locked.
So i flashed with miflash with keeping files option, but all that was saved is locking pattern. All media files lost.
Anyway, now i rooted and installed custom recovery to avoid any incident like this.
