Hi guys, here I have Sony Xperia M4 Aqua with activated screen lock protection and I'm going
0:10
to show you how to bypass this pattern lock and also how to accomplish a hard reset operation
0:15
on this device. In order to do it I'm going to perform a flash operation on our cell phone
0:24
So first of all we have to download appropriate application, it's FlashTool
0:32
The link to this app should be under the video in the description
0:36
Then we should launch this application and here we have something like that, it's the
0:41
interface of FlashTool. Then we should open an Xperia firm, it's this icon XF, you should open it
0:54
And here we've got on the left side list of available Sony Xperia phones, you should find
1:01
the one that suits you. For me of course it's Xperia M4 Aqua
1:07
Then choose appropriate model, I'm going to choose E23003, it's the one that I have
1:16
And you've got a list of softwares according to a country and operator
1:27
You can choose the one that suits you the best, but I'm going to choose the universal
1:40
one for me, it's Central Europe. And on the right side you've got a number of this software, you can check if this number
1:52
suits to your device and you can click on it and choose download
1:57
I'm not going to download this software because I've already done it, so I'm going to just
2:02
tap close and quit of Xperia firm. And now I'm back in FlashTool application
2:13
Then we should click on lightning icon, it's FlashDeviceOperation. I'm going to do it, we should choose flash mode and tap OK
2:27
Then select appropriate software, I've got two but as I said I'm going to choose Customize
2:35
Central Europe. And it's important to choose wipe user data, because this operation deletes all our information
2:46
from our device and customize settings and also remove a pattern lock from our cellphone
2:54
If everything is correct we should select flash at the bottom of the screen
3:01
Let me do it. As we can see the application is preparing files for flashing
3:17
If some error occurs on the FlashTool application you should choose lightning one more time
3:31
and choose flash mode and OK. You should do the same thing, so choose the appropriate software and choose wipe user
3:40
data, then tap flash and the application is preparing files for flashing one more time
3:54
so be patient. Excellent, when wait for flash screen appears on your device you can read the step by step
4:14
tutorial how to open a flash mode in your cellphone. So first of all we have to turn off our device by holding the power key and then tap power
4:27
off and wait until your phone is completely switched off. Afterwards you have to hold down the volume down button for a few seconds and while holding
4:40
this key you should connect your phone to a PC by using micro USB cable
4:47
So I'm going to do it, I'm holding the volume down and connecting the phone by using USB
4:54
cable. Excellent, when everything is correct the flash operation should begin
5:06
My phone is still connected to a PC as you can see
5:12
When the question appears on your screen you can tap yes in order to use FSC script
5:20
And from this interface you can read what's happening to your device, for example right
5:33
now the phone is flashing data. Be patient, the whole process should take a few minutes, don't do anything, wait until
5:55
the operation will be completed. Excellent, as you can see the flash operation has just been finished, we can unplug our
6:30
device and start using it. So I'm going to do it, disconnect USB cable and hold down the power key for a few seconds
6:40
As you can see the Sony Xperia is turning on. You should wait a few more minutes because the phone just starting activate and initializing
7:17
the whole process for the first time. Excellent as you can see the welcome panel just appears on the screen, you can choose
7:32
preferred language and there is no pattern lock so you can easily start activate our phone
7:37
And also the hardware separation has just been completed so you erase all personal content
7:43
