| If you want to... | Best action | |--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | Just get back into the phone | Factory reset from recovery (loses data) | | Remove FRP after reset | Use TestPoint + free FRP tool (e.g., XperiaFRP v4) | | Fix bootloop or corrupted system | Flash stock FTF via NewFlasher | | Keep data but forgot PIN | Almost impossible – reset is required |
