Sounds like you need to perform a system repair

To perform a system repair which will factory reset your phone

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)

Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

My mobile was already in a switch off mode.
When I try it to start it displays Sony logo, and give error messages.
I finally went to Sony service Centre, and they took long to format device.
That is they gave me device next working day(2-3 days)
