How can I go about factory resetting the phone? Are there Odin flash files available for the next play? Would someone be able to link me the Odin files for stock z2 play?

Hello,
I got At&t sony xperia play r800at phone few months earlier. It was unlocked and i used it with my network provider with no problem. Unfortunately i have added a pattern lock and forgot the pattern.
It was connected with my gmail account which i was using earlier and i do not remember the password either.
So i have no way to remove the lock. I read that master reset will wipe the lock pattern and tried to do a master reset by going to the bootloader menu. But phone does not allow me to go there.:crying:
Please help me to solve my problem.

When you say "unlocked" does it means network unlocked or bootloader unlocked?
Use PC companion to flash stock firmware if your bootloader is locked
Use Emma software to flash stock firmware if your bootloader is unlocked
Or use Flashtool to flash stock firmware (you can find it at Xperia Play Index - ROM'S, FIRMWARE, KERNEL'S, GUIDE'S, THEMES, MOD'S - second post)
It will reset all settings and apps. If you can't recall your gmail password, just open new gmail account
I have tried to flash back to stock firmware but i am unable to get play store to certify. I have an unlocked bootloader and am able to return to stock and update to the latest firmware but play store will not certify. From my understanding the bootloader being unlocked should not effect the certification so there must be another problem and as i cannot flash the full restore to stock due to unlocked bootloader, i am at a loss to know how to address the problem.
Has anyone been able to return to stock and obtain certified play store status?
Ok it seems I was wrong and unlocked bootloader is the problem. CTS profile mismatch. Whish I knew about this before I unlocked the bootloader.
Root with magisk and use magisk hide and you can have a certified play store again. It works for me.
Yes i have previously done this but now i wish to have a pure stock setup. Biggest Problem with this device is that we are not able to restore a full factory image without a locked bootloader.
I purchased a XA1 Plus since I needed an upgrade (so-05d from docomo) which I rooted way back then. I though I would try to root my new XA1 Plus since I like the flexibility and access of root, I got up to the point of unlocking the bootloader but I can't for the life of me find a proper guide / how to root my XA1 Plus.
Thus, I would (if possible) to relock the bootloader on my phone so I can get system updates and remove that annoying message at start of every boot.
The method I used was straight from Sony

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Just flash a stock FTF from Xperifirm using Flashtool then relock it after the flash is completed.
