It worked for Z1 Compact, thanks
Hi, I did as per your quote. My mobile screen got froze and did the ON/OFF button and Volume + . And when I switch it ON normally, it doesn’t turn ON. It just flashes Red LED light 3times. I have changed and inserted with NEW battery, but still it doesn’t turn ON.
Also I won’t loose any of my data, when I did the SOFT RESET.

Hey I have z1 when I touch settings operate speaking also how can I fix it ?
I've done all this several times but still no luck my son's phone has a number pin and we have no code for it and it's not doing a factory reset how can I fix it
Try what i suggested below :) Hope that helps
If you have signed into your google account on your phone, you should be able to sign into Android Device Manager: https://www.google.com/android/deviceman..., here you will be able to do a password removal and/or a factory reset in which everything on the phone is deleted.
Hope everything works now :)
Why is that, everytime i press ' erase everything' the 'Confirmation of PIN' will pop-up, but i dont have pin that register. Help! What to do?!
Also, the problem of my xperia z1 is that, when i open it it just stay good for 15secs. Then it says ' (etc. Not responding) then it gives 2 options, one is WAIT and the other is OK, then if i press ok and wait. The screen will turn black. Then it will restart automatically again and again.
refulgentel: I got exactly the same problem since yesterday, I tried to do the hard reset( with 3 different methods) but that's didnt worked
Fouond any solution ? Same here

When i put my card sim in he begin dowing stufs . Can i fix it pls help me.
i cant on my phone. Its keep on and off.. How to do hard reset
This is a fake:
The SIM-card slot doesn't have a red dot, this dot is located in the SD-card slot and should not be red but white, because it is a warranty-sign (red signalizes contact with water/humidity). This dot shouldn't be pressed at all.
I visited this site, because I coudn't manage it to open the recovery-menu.
Try already but the red small button is not functioning..and totally not open..but if I charge is OK..
