I bricked my Sony Xperia M2 trying to downgrade to 4.3 using Flashtool however this video has saved my life!

I turned off my phone (using the button next to microsim) and used the repair tool to boot my phone back up

Thank you so much for this upload, would've been lost without it!

This works! On the Z3 it's a small yellow square that says off. Hold, wait for 3 vibrations and power on. : )
My phone went to sudden death (blacked out screen) and buttons wouldn't work. This fixed my problem. Thanks

Xperia Z has no physically reset button.
Try this, press and hold the Power On and the Volume Up button at the same time. When you feel vibration release them and the phone must restart.

Told by EE shop that it could NOT be unlocked with my password, what do they know, great video.

[greceanumihail]

to remove the password you need to reinstall firmware, but for that to be possible you need to know the password very helpful

[Material_Monkey]

Thanks! My z1 freezed and you helped me!

[TurtleCrwSyria]

Ok thank you so much but I have a problem.. I've forgotten my Xperia M2 password and have been trying all the methods you've mentioned. The problem is that neither my internet nor electricity help me download the firmware to reset the phone to factory settings. Is there a way for me to install the firmware, via torrent for example, and then do the whole process offline? Thank you

i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software

[mrovydiw]

Thank you very much, work for me.
P.S -> For me was needed to choose my Phone model, but if u dont know your model or something you can choose a random model (but make sure your phone isnt very different than another model)

WORK ON XPERIA E4 WITH LOCKED SCREEN PATTERN!!!
Thank you ZFix.
I forget my screen pattern and was unable to enter the phone, trying from hard reset with soft keys to secret codes etc, but without success.I googled for 2 days and finally got it with pc companion, just be patient-with average speed its takes from 1-2 hours to finish all process.
PS.Dont let your pc get into sleep mode, from time to time move the coursor.
Just fallow instructions.

muchas gracias, facil y efectivo, a veces se nos olvida y que bueno que lo tengamos en video para poder realizarlo.

Should work for Android 4.4.4 KitKat, because you change the firmware with the official Sony program - PC Companion.
