Hello there,
I got a Xperia Z3 and forgot the lock pattern. I tried several things which all didn't work:
- Tried booting into bootloader by pressing power+vol down+vol up = vibrated a few times and turned off
- Re-flashing using Flashtool = drivers needed, can't find them
- calling codes for reset etc. from emergency
- Xperia Companion software repair - needs to be unlocked for that.
Don't have USB Debugging or OEM unlock enabled. Not registered at My Xperia

Retry the bootloader method by pressing only power+volume down for about 20 sec (until you reboot into bootloader) .
From there reset data and reboot.
What you were doing wrong is to press volume up and down with power button

I cannot find place to type.
It is very possible that the volume up key does the job.
the volume up key doesn't seem to work... any ideas why is it?

Do you mean that it doesn't work when the device has loaded android?
If yes, then reflash the official kernel and see if the problem persisits.
If the problem persists then it is very possible that you have a hardware failure...
If you have flashed my kernel and you mean that you cannot enter CWM by pressing volume up, just press the power on-off key once or two, when the (white)
se logo turns brighter and you will enter CWM.
i mean, i cant get into fastboot mode by clicking the volume up key so i cant flash any rooms
think that i had unlocked the bootloadrer i used the test point method with s1tool( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285285 ) it didn't gave me any error message, it looked like it worked fine, tried volume up volume down even the home button and various combinations of it... the volume buttons load the CWM and if i restart holding the volume up key it boots into charging mode...

I can't understand a few things about your case.
Have you already flashed my kernel?
What version of CWM are you running?
To enter fastboot mode you have to connect the usb cable to your device,hold the volume up key and connect the usb cable to your computer.Then the led light turns blue...
i didn't flashed the kernel because i can't boot into fastboot mode, maybe because the test point method with s1tool didn't unlocked the bootloader, but it looked like it did?
i am using the cwm version 5.0.2.7

You can enter fastboot mode, even if your bootloader is locked.You can't install custom kernel though.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to service info, go to Configuration submenu and check the status of your bootloader.
If the text under rooting status is:
Bootloader unlocked:Yes
then your bootloader is unlocked.
If the text is:
Bootloader unlock allowed:yes
then the bootloader is still locked.
About getting in fastboot mode now.Try searching the web on how wt19i gets into fastboot mode.
Visit this page also:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
mine says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
saw somewhere that it means that the bootloader is unlocked?
the only 2 methods that i can find for booting into fastmode is the volume up key method mekes it go into charging mode (it shows sony ericson on the screen as usual then it shows up a battery with a power logo in the middle)and i saw someone say that he entered fastboote by holding volume up + home key and connecting it to the pc, both didn't worked?

Try visiting this page and read carefully the second step:http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
Your bootloader is still locked and cannot be unlocked.
Sorry...
This method also work with 4.0.2.A.0.62 version.

Im having diffculty unlocking the bootloader of my SXP using the official method. When I am asked to ''push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable'' the phone just turns on and starts charging. My pc doesnt recognise it either. I have tried using the volume up and down button ands even the menu button (the Neo uses the menu) but to no succcess. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

from fastbootmode wolume up

FYI :- power button combination that you triein are wrong
FORCE REBOOT :- Its volume + and power button foe few seconds...phone vibrates once and reboots
FORCE SHUTDOWN :- Volume + and power if continued to be held even after one vibration (force reboot) for couple of sec more the phone vibrates 3 times and shuts down
Try booting it in flash mode (holding volume - key and connect the usb cable) so that green led glows and flash it with latest firmware...

When i bricked my phone what i did a force shutdown and then held the Volume UP button to enter fastboot mode and connected the USB cable to the PC.
Then i used flashtool and extracted my Firmware(FTF) and flashed the 2 .Sin files in fastboot mode and got my phone working again.

Thanks for telling ! I had been looking for this information for a long time.
Apparently, my service info says "bootloader unlock allowed: yes", I wonder if it means that I actually unlocked it or that the device would accept me to do it.
I moreover wonder how one can manage to install CM or root its device without using Recovery Mode. I saw on your signature you rooted your device. May I ask how you did that ?

It means your bootloader CAN BE unlocked.
To install a ROM, such as CM, you first unlock your bootloader, then move the ROM zip to your device. After that, you flash the included kernel from the zip with fastboot. Then, you boot into the included recovery from the kernel and flash the whole ROM.

I finally found a solution to my problem : I unlocked the device using flashtool-0.9.11's gui procedure, instead of flashtool's fastboot. It succeeded and I can successfully flash anything I want on the device.
I found your rational approach to my problem useful. It helped me isolate a solution. Thanks !

Hi! I've a M4 Aqua single (E2303) with unlocked bootloader and firmware 26.3.A.1.33. I've tried to boot into fastboot mode, doing this:
1 - Turn off power off by pressing Power key
2 - Press and hold Volume Down key
3 - Connect the Xperia to USB Cable
4 - Done!
But nothing happens... I'm doing something wrong or I miss anything?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure you hold it while you connect it? Other than that I dont know.... Maybe enable USB debugging?
Flashmode: Vol Down
Fastboot: Vol Up
Beware, the phone will go out of fastboot mode after about 15 seconds if no computer activity takes place.

Yes, I've done everything (USB debugging enabled too, hold Vol+ more than 20secs...)
And after that "blue led" I've try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-sony-xperia-m4-aqua-e2303-firmware-t3485006
But as I said, with no luck at all...
I don't know why it dosn't work...
If you have the blue LED, that means the phone is in fastboot mode.
If your computer can't pick it up, that is usually a driver issue. Try installing drivers from the flashtool. Be aware, that you need to enable unsigned driver installation in Windows before you can do that.
