How to perform hard-reset at power on for XPERIA LT15i ?

1. Update from PC not possible - system freeze on PC.

2. Reset through menu is not possible - last button with word "Reset all" don't make anything (any data and programs is still "on board").

3. Hard resed with:
- back + menu (as left and right) then power - is not working
- Home+Volume Up then power - is not working

Are you sure Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset doesn't work? I've used it twice already and it did the job.

Anyway, try Home + Volume Down(not Up), then power on.

Yes, I'm shure... I press "Reset phone" ten times right now - all programs still "on board". Pressing of button don't have any reaction.

Anyway, try Home + Volume Down(not Up), then power on.

How long time I must press this buttons ? Because I try to press it short or long - and still have no reaction (system starts, and all programs still "on board")

If you have the key combination right, it should give you instructions for a factory reset as soon as the phone turns on.

My SE ARC was frozen while using Titanim back up - i rebooted it - and the spb shell didnt load up when it came back -was a black screen - so i rebooted it again and now the phone is stuck on the SE logo :( and the bloody SE update software is not availble for MAC OS X :( m downloading virtual windows to fix it.

Should be the left and right buttons on button of display and then power on.
Remove and reinsert battery before doing this.

Nah, same problem.
Get a "safe mode" screen.
If anyone knows the button combination, please share.
Seems a lot has been done... could it be there is no such option for xperia at all, to get to boot mode?..

Hold back and menu, then press power briefly until it powers on and then release power, don't let go of the back and menu buttons until the phone powers on, it should say safe mode down the bottom left, then go ahead and factory reset the phone.

Hope this helps.

    HArd reset Xperia Arc

    In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
    Go to the last option.. I forgot the name. And click on reset configuration.. It will do a factory reset.
    Note : All data on internal memory will be wiped.
