    Hello, none of the options work for my Xperia Z.
    The first: You need the password to be able to restore as factory.
    LA second: Nothing happens when you press the button for 10 to 15 seconds
    Help me is that I do not have a password and neither does the Gmail account of the old owner.

    Xperia Dead
    Hello, your article has not been of much use to me since what happens to it is that even when it is 100% charged, I turn it on and it does not go beyond the sony xperia screen. I have sometimes managed to get to the pattern but it would not let me put it on since it would turn off right away. At first it only worked plugged into the light, now not even that. Then I tried to remove the sim and the sd and it worked but I put it on and it didn't work anymore but now not even that. I don't know what it is... can you help me??
