I'm not certain but try booting the phone from the Internal low level recovery.
1. Turn it off
2. Once off, Hold down a combination of buttons, hold and press Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button until you see a Boot recovery menu. You will notice that your Notification light will turn PINK or RED
If that doesn't work try Holding volume up + power button simultaneously or Volume down + Power button simultaneously.
Use Volume up or down to make a selection within the menu, scroll to something that says """"""" Wipe Partition/Factory Reset""""" then Tap the power button to confirm your selection.
Do not click anything else but that, you can brick your phone!! Once it boots you have a fresh device :)

it shows andriod sign with exclamation mark
I have a old Xperia its just Xperia and it just turns on. I dont think it has recovery mode. Can i fix it via a tech store
Sadly many android advice sites are poorly maintained and contain dead links like this one (above) does... The link for downloading adb software on this one is non-functional. My two cents is that the adb method (method 2 on the above site) is the most dependable method for doing a factory reset. The information on the above link for using adb to reset is fine, just don't download from random places on the internet (like the above) though go to the source: https://developer.android.com/studio/rel...
Also, using a linux computer to perform the adb reset is less hassle in general since you don't have to futz with getting USB "drivers". This is due to what is needed being "baked into" your OS/system and it just works normally.
That’s one thing hung about androids, it’s so open sourced that sometimes it’s difficult for an average joe to piece information together, especially if said person isn’t technical. Then there’s old data, and new data that doesn’t help at all.
Thanks for updating my answer with that site.
Does not work for Xperia 1v
I reset using the volume down and power method putting into recovery mode
The phone was reset perfectly
However, when going through the set up process I am still prompted for the pin or Google account associated with the phone
I have none of these as was purchased second hand, and I can no longer contact the seller as they have since passed away

Hope you didn't pay much for it. You probably should check with Sony support if you haven't already.
