The problem occurs when a handset has already had its bootloader unlocked and MXTP is enabled. Most devices bought through carriers are likely to be locked anyway, so this won’t apply to you. Disabling MXTP will once again change the bootloader status to “Yes”. However, once enabling MXTP this will change to “No”. Out of the box and before enabling My Xperia, you are likely to see the status say: “Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes”. This means that if a thief gets their hands on your phone, they will not be able to wipe it clean or flash it with a different ROM without knowing your Google log-in details.įor those of you that own one of the newer devices, you may have already noticed that enabling MXTP will remove the ability to unlock the bootloader. MXTP offers deeper bootloader-level security compared to the previous version.
We have previously reported on Sony Mobile’s new “My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP)” that is currently live on the company’s newest devices such as Xperia Z3+, Z4 Tablet, C4 and M4 Aqua.
