Locked Out
Alright... my sister was playing with my Z2 and successfully locked me out of my player. I'm getting the well-known "Too many pattern attempted screen".
I tried to enter my account information but the device wouldn't let me in. (And yes, I tried to enter my username with and without "@gmail.com") The current situation: - WiFi is disabled - USB debugging is enabled -> ADB works - WiFi and the Mass Storage feature cannot be activated on the player because the pull-down menu is locked Here are some tricks I tried: - "null" password - firmware re-installation So the question is: How do I unlock my player without being able to format it? Am I screwed?

Is there some sort of recovery mode?

Yes, but the only options are: "Install fw from internal memory", "Install fw from SD card" and "Re-Install current fw".
Anyway, thanks to dwaalspoor98's help, I found the solution, and I hope it will help others if they come into the same situation: - Open the adb shell (enter: "adb shell") - Enter: "wipe data" That's it. I was looking for a solution for 4 hours now and finally my Z2 works again!

In a real Android environment wiping data would be a menu option. :p

 snakebite2: Well, one thing you need is the Android SDK. Follow the instructions in this thread in order to install it properly. Then you open *path to the SDK*/platform-tools/ and open the command prompt here. Then you enter what I said: "adb shell".

I didn't, actually. AFAIK most Android phones, at least, have a built-in recovery menu that you can access when standard booting won't work, where wiping data is a menu option.
