NEW way to BYPASS and REMOVE PASSWORD or PIN on xperia ZL - Sony Xperia ZL

hey everyone, today 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......
http://youtu.be/gRelLSb0vgw
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

but that does not actually remove the password from settings. if you restart your phone, than the device will again ask for password, but if you try the method mentioned by me, then the password is actually removed......... just press *#*#73556673#*#* and press home button.......

I work in a "Buy-Back" shop and a customer left his locked mobile with us, and then didn't buy it back.
This worked perfectly, and we can now re-sell his non-collected goods.
Just remember, after removing the phone lock, as OP says, input the code AGAIN, otherwise every time the phone goes into sleep mode, the demo runs.
Thanks OP, very helpful.

Ok .. this is not working on my Xperia Z (android 4.2.2). I forgot the screenlock pin and locked myself out of my phone. Is there a code that works with this version of android ..or any other way to get rid of this code?

Sorry for my late answer
however ... i solved my problem unlocking my bootloader
i've done it risking because i didn't knew if my bootloader can be unlocked or not but it worked and there was no loss of any data.
I don't know if this works on Xperia ZL but on my Xperia Z (C6602) it worked and also i'm not sure if this works on other Xperia Z phones.
Thank you anyway .

[Q] Korean Version SHV-370K - ROM/GroupPlay/ChatON

Hey people,
I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?
My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.
My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much people.
Have a great day.
Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?
So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.

Hi guys,
Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.
Thanks,
Vit

Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!

This secret menu allows you to modify the network, frequencies and other stuff, each korean service privider has it's own password.

you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.

Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.
Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!

Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.
Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.
New Update.
Hey people! I just got an OTA update and all I see new is a Google Drive icon. The update is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. It was about 96mb of file size. How can I take out the changelog and read what bug fixes it brings?

I've read about CSC Select app (on google play market), but I think you need root for this to work. I'm not an expert on that though.

XZ2 Compact and Root

Hi there,
did someone manage to root his phone, with camera etc working ? And how (Kingroot, OneClickRoot, other) ?
Cheers
I did come across this, but am too hesitant to try it myself first lol. Since I can't post links yet try a google search for "genkes How To Root Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Without PC" and it should be the top link
Please be aware before attempting to root your XZ2c. Usually with Sony phones, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first, which will erase your unique DRM keys, which will decrease the usability of certain Sony-specific functionality, such as color-enhancements and camera, which may become totally useless (until a work-around is found).
I'm not saying it's definitely the case with this phone, but I cannot imagine otherwise.

Looking for recommendations and help...

I need some opinions please. My phone got another update that changed my home launcher and removed Nova as the default, again. I'm fed up. So I had bought an unlock code last year. I've never used it as I didn't want to reset up all the options and settings on my phone again. I do so much customization, but wanted the option for later possibilities. One question... I have read they have blocked the data base or whatever for the unlock codes. So does that mean mine will not work at this point, it is too late? And two... If I was to install a ROM, of the ones available which one is the most stock like keeping the M Pen working for sure? I love extra the customizations though in all the settings, but want everything working for the most part. I don't use Google pay, but have the M Pen and remember one ROM said that didn't work. I'm off to read more through the forums, but would love some opinions from people with experience. Thanks. EVR-AL00 9.1.0.119 living in USA

If you have the unlock code you can use it any time you want...for all the others that dont have a lock code is the answer that he gave you...You gave the IMEI to have the bl unlock...IMEI is not changing even if you update the android version.

Wifi and SIM not working. Unlocking impossible.

Hello
my Mi Mix 2 suddenly couldn't read my SIM Cards anymore and I even can't turn on wifi (turns itself off immediately). Both functions broke at the same time.
As nothing helped, I have done a factory reset. Now im stuck in the language selection screen, where I need to unlock the phone with my Mi Account first, which isn't possible because there is still no way to establish an internet connection.
My bootloader is locked and my last hope was unlocking it and flashing another/Stock ROM. But the unlocking Process with Mi Unlock always fails. (Can't get info, connect again at 50%; on my other PC it stops at 99%)
Can someone help me? I'm so lost.

Well, where were you all, dear ones, I missed you for a year. I killed persist in August, but somehow I restored imei using Android 7. What the phone didn’t give out - but as an option it always worked with custom Android 9 wi-fi. Than just did not sew. In short, I bought mi 9, and tied it to the same battery. Mi mix 2 I blocked and gave up. But somehow everything decided to heat it over a gas stove and make a testpoint. On mi9 sat mi-room and did not think)). But somehow I decided to do mimix2 again and configure m: rolleyes: i box s in parallel. As a result - mi 9 is locked, it doesn’t see SIM cards, but there is wifi)) Mix is ​​not even sewn even through testpoint, I have been listening to music on mi box for a month now and am writing with Chinese, Indians (sorry if I hit anyone). I’m even thinking, maybe the iPhone and to hell with these firmware, I’d better get married a second time. I got sick already, more electricity was spent on the firmware than these devices cost.

Downgrading from Android 10 to 9 locked bl

I am stuck at the latest version of android 10 (.618) on my xperia xz2 compact H8314 and I have a big problem using whatsapp and other messaging apps like messenger and telegram, basically the voice notes sounds very low, I can record audio using sony audio recorder and works fine but the other apps dont, I have been looking for this thread all over the xz2 forum but could not find it so thats why I decided to create it, I have also looked in other webpages but it seems that are very few mentions of it, I found this one and tried to follow it, but I failed in my attempt.
https:// xperiafirmware. com/downgrade/
Any help/advise is welcome and even questions of what I have already tried.
I thought about any other alternatives like fixing the problem in Android 10 but I couldnt either.
Edit: I get the next error message when I am flashing the .ftf file that I downloaded there:
"Those data are not in the FSC scrip and will be skipped:
BOOT,DSP,FSG,MODEMST1,MODEMST2,RDIMAGE.
Do you want to continue?"
then I try to turn on my phone and get the message "your phone is corrupt and it wont start" or something like that.
I have owned several xperia phones in the past, the last one was xperia X compact and I remember (I could be wrong) that I was able to make a downgrade without unlocking my bootloader.
I succesfully downgraded from 10 to 9 using sonys flashtool with bootloader unlocked. But I'm not sure if it's possible to do it without unlocking at the moment. Why not just unlock the bootloader?

Would be helpful if:
Where to get the Sony flashtool. (link?)
You could provide a link to how to unlock the bootloader. and
You could describe the "Downside" to unlocking the bootloader. What "no longer works"? Such as, will it no longer apply factory updates? Will Digital Rights Management (DRM) no longer work?
Seriously, my XZ2 Compact H8214 keeps reminding me (several times a day) that a firmware update is available, and I am sort of "scared to death" to do it. All I read are negative comments about what Android 10 has done to ruin people's phone. Without a way to "go back", I am seriously thinking of just ignoring these messages for weeks and weeks.

Well first of all, unlocking bootloader voids warranty, then a number of several sony technologies will for sure stop working, Basically all proprietary technologies like audio, video and most importan thing, CAMERA enhancements, how I do know this? well because I have been reading a lot lately and also since some years ago, and by experience because back in the day I had an xperia x compact and I didnt remember to backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.
Anyway I have found a way to downgrade from android 10 to 9 without unlocking the bootloader, I am not sure about if I should make a new post with specific instructions( a guide) or just write them in this post.
Oh, yes. Please share. The more details the better. (Assuming that people "know basic things" is often incorrect. The things I don't know is FAR too big to list.)

I have downgraded from 10 to 9 using official flashtool from sony (with bootloader unlocked) and my camera, audio, video etc. still works just fine. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think that by doing it through the tool provided by sony itself it shouldn't break anything. Which in my case, it didn't. Btw, thanks for the guide ?

Or maybe you don't know what you do, and happy for the nothing.
If you unlock the bootloader, you loose the TA partition (DRM keys). Your camera quality is worst, and some features lost (ps4 etc).

@Tom 23 can you explain more about what you did? Details? Are you using an H8314? On Verizon? I've read in the XZ2 forums supposedly now unlocking on Android 10 still breaks some stuff but now not the camera?
@williamgrant can you provide/link a list of exactly what breaks when you unlock the bootloader? Perhaps what breaks depends on what version of Android you're on when you unlock?
I'm trying to determine/weigh the pros and cons of unlocking to root are, if its worth it, what am I giving up...

Do you notice specific problems with the H8314 on Verizon? I have been delaying the Android 10 firmware update because I cannot seem to find many reports of "how it works on Verizon".
I've only been using it for a little over 36 hours, but so far nothing glaringly wrong. Keep in mind thought that 36 hours ago I was using a 2013 Motorola Moto X running Android 5.1... now I'm on Android 10... So there's probably stuff that is a bug that I don't recognize is a bug!
My wife's had her H8314 on Verizon for about 6 months and it's on Android 10 as well. If she's not complained to me about anything then that's good! Then again, she's likely not at the same "level" as XDA forum members are!
I too am interested in how to roll back to Android 9 if it can be accomplished reasonably easily without giving up a bunch of stuff.
I've been plagued with issues on Android 10. Even with the most recent update things have not improved. The two things most annoying to me are the drastically reduced battery life (more than halved!! it doesn't even last a full day anymore!!) and the fact that MMS do not download correctly all the time anymore. I've also noticed that camera quality has gone down somehow, even though Android 10 was supposed to improve it...
Hello folks
I successfully downgraded my XZ2 Compact (H8314) from Android 10 to 9 using that info: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087435"
but I had a problem, I downloaded (using XPERIAFIRM) 52.0.A.11.32 South Korea version (I'm from Italy, but Italy version is not available) , every thing work fine except LTE (4G) signal, as frequency of two country is not compatible, then I installed Android 10 again and all was ok.
So... now my question is: do you know where I can found 52.0.A.11.32 image customized for Italy?

Hello. I downloaded some month ago rom for UK via Xperifirm. I deleted already ta-files according to description, and I added newsflasher (version 20) into same folder. I zipped complete prepared folder and uploaded it now. Should be okay for Italy.

Hi landsome. Probably I still have, but I am on a trip and I can't check this now.
I can do this not before Monday. When I'll find I will upload on Monday...
