I know a way to get rid of this pattern unlock but it requires root. If Your friend has root he should take a look at program in my desc.
Else only factory reset

The phone has made random calls, started programs and sent messages all from my front pocket, so i put a pass code to lock my phone... Everytime i put the password in the unlock button does not highlight. I know the 4 digit password and it just will not unlock my phone.

Hello all,
Got an xperia x10 of a friend, now im trying to do a hard reset on it by doing this -
Turning it off
Hold the bottom left and right key and then press the on button to try and get it to go into the bios thingy? (not sure what they call in on phones)
and it wont work it just turns on??
Getting annoying as im also thinking about rooting the phone and putting jelly bean or ICS on it but I cant as I cant get into the bios thing
Help would be great please
Sorry its an xperia x10i if that makes any difference
for the "BIOS" thing. Do you mean recovery?
if you don't have it then just get it via flashtool
There is no hard reset n x10 only soft reset,or do it by this way:
1 From the Xperia 10 Home screen, tap the applications bar.
2 Tap Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
3 Enter your screen unlock pattern.
4 Tap Erase everything.
or just use pc companion to wipe everything
Hello, Cheers for the replys, yes that's the recovery I meant, but hmm im new to all of this.
and cheers will give that wiping a go..
So my phone is currently on 2.3.3
all standard,
Can one of you or someone help me with the following,
First I need to unblock it as it is currently locked to virgin or tmobile I think and I would like to use either o2 or orange,
I would then like to Root it and then install ICS or JB on it
I have never done this before so as much help would be really appreciated
Thank
You need to find a shop or someone who uses setool 2 to unlock the phone as it will unlock the bootloader at the same time, if you use any other software to unlock the phone you wont have any network if you unlock the bootloader afterwards the only ways to have a signal is by unlocking with setool 2 or via the unlock code from the network provider, once your bootloader is unlocked you can proceed to flash an ics/jb rom just follow the instructions posted on which ever rom you want to install.

Ok so if I take it to a local shop and give them a tenner or whatever they charge to unlock it then ask them to root the phone as well?

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
I had this once. It asked me to sign in via Google account to validate that it was me. Trouble was I didn't have data on and it didn't give an option to turn it on. All I could do after some frustration was to do an android restore.(didn't check for other methods since I wanted it urgently. ) never had lock protection afterwards. (always have data and wifi off)
@op try submitting a blank answer, maybe after three times, it will ask for Google validate. Maybe just may be

I have forgotten my code and gmail and my bootloader is locked, and best of all usb debugging is disabled.
I have exhausted all my ideas on how to fix this, any help will be massively appreceated.
I may even include a token of gratitude
Many Thanks

1. sounds like you stole the device
2. sounds like you've never heard of Flashtool.
3. you can use flashtool to flash a FTF which will totaly reset your device

If you go to www.Google.com/accounts/recovery you can recover your Google account from there to gain access to your phone.
