Hi all, I'm not an Xperia user, but Nexus, so sorry if I'm not knowing basic know-how for this device! My father I font now how inserted a pw in the device and now is not able to use the phone anymore... And the problem is mine!
I wanted to factory reset but all try I did were not sucessfull:
1) pw button+vol up not working
2) hw reset button 5sec not working
3) secret dial code not working
What else I can try before connect the phone to pc and try to reset with it? I don't want to read all the instruction for it, I don't know from where start because I'm totally new for this device...
Thanks for your help
Not sure if I remember that correctly, but there's a tiny red button next to the SIM card that should do a factory reset when pressed for more than five seconds.
Already tryied, but nothing, it just shut down the phone
Flash a stock ftf.

I recently tried to unlock my uncle's Diamond. I used Hard SPL1.4 from this site, and it finished that successfully. After restarting, I went through the whole screen calibration and so on, then I went to the kitchen to get some food. By the time I got back, the Diamond wouldn't start at all. I haven't tried a hard reset, but I don't think that would do me any good since the phone doesn't start up at all. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to tell my uncle I ****ed his phone..
Just a quick detail, I did notice that after it started up again, the area next to the SIM card slot heated up quite a bit. I don't know if that's related, but I figured I'd tell you anyway.
The Hard SPL of choice is the 1.93. Any who, try and place the device into bootloader mode (tri-colour screen).
Hard Reset Your Device:
• Soft reset button and hold the vol. down + Circle button until u see the grey screen. REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING SAVED ON THIS ROM (i.e. contacts, calender, etc.)
Bootlaoder Mode:
• Soft reset and hold the volume down until u see the tri screen
Do you see the Hard spl 1.40? if yes, then just a hard reset and see what happens
IF none of the above worked, take out the BATTERY for a bit and try the above options all over again.
Hi, thought i would add to this thread.
Mine also did this, it worked fine for a week with Windows Revolution 6.5 rom then it randomly turned off and refuses to turn on.
Bootloader mode / hard / soft reset none work.
I have a Stock TILT 2 (TP 2) never flashed running basic programs Mobile Shell never had any issues with it, haven't installed new software in a few weeks , but I soft resetted it this morning and it keeps getting stuck in the boot screen. when first turned on it will run through boot screen then load screen for a millisecond then back to boot screen and never advances again , I've tried battery out sim card out Sd card out everything, even tried hard reset , but wont allow me to hard reset with front buttons and power, is there another way to hard reset , is it possible my phone just bricked for no reason ? thanks for any help ?
have you tried to do a hard reset via the pc? the original rom is on the htc website so you can try useing the exe file there. there is also an updated rom you can try to flash there. hope that helps
You might try sending it to the bootloader screen and reflashing. I don't know if it will work, but I thought it might be worth the effort.
I did notice that HTC removed the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2. I'm sure it is floating around here somewhere. If not, I have it and can send it to you when I get home.
Thanks I have original rom and just released wont work.
dod you see anythign on teh screen? if you do, then hard reset may fix it.
Power off your phone (or take teh battery out). Then press and hold teh call and hang up button while press teh power button. it will enter the hard reset mode. (remember hard reset will erase all the info on the phone and rever tot the stock setting).

wow, thank god i dl'd it when i dl'd the updated rom... and they still have the image of the old rom right beside it... lol
as for op, you can try to enter the bootloader with the following steps
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
and try to flash from there
hope that helps again

In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Go to the last option.. I forgot the name. And click on reset configuration.. It will do a factory reset.
Note : All data on internal memory will be wiped.
You could just reflash using pcc or seus using the repair function when phone is in flash mode.
This will install new software and delete all files of phone.
If all else fails try this.

I don't clearly understand your question. I assume you are stuck at "Start wizard" after you installed new code(ROM?).
If so, Try to re-install (Clean Install) ROM (Before that, wipe cache & delete partition). I did faced same problem some time ago & re-install solved it.

Try to connect your phone to odin.
Then flash your firmware.
If above didn't work, go to service center.

Hello,
Try holding volume down instead during reboot. ?
Cheers...
I'm having the same problem. Factory reset just leads to the same problem happening on setup again.
