Member: 1314938 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1672340 Thanks Meter: 5,373 | Regarding Xperia Theft Protection What is my Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP)? Today, most people carry around a device in their pocket valued several hundred dollars in retail value. This has caused personal theft to increase massively and it's no wonder: A quick “job” and a thief has a device worth at least a few hundred on the shady market. The fact that you can easily wipe said device clean makes it even easier to resell the device. My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP) is our solution to the problem. What are the improvements compared to existing solutions? There are several different existing solutions which enable consumers to protect their Android phones or tablets. Most prominent for Xperia devices are: Using a screen lock or pattern Using the current My Xperia implementation Using the Android device manager While these solutions protect the data on a device quite reliably they do not solve the issue of theft: You can bypass all mentioned locks by flashing the Android operating system using PC Companion, Bridge for Mac or a third party flash software. MXTP will enable you to render your device completely useless for a thief, to ensure, that he will not be able to use or sell the stolen device. How exactly does my Xperia Theft Protection work? Existing security solutions are usually a part of the Android operating system. This means, that by swapping the operating system (for example by performing a software repair) the security feature or application is deleted. My Xperia Theft protection is integrated much deeper in the structure of an Xperia device: It is added to the bootloader of Xperia devices. The bootloader is needed to start the operating system of your device, and it is not part of the operating system itself. So if you delete the operating system, MXTP will stay active and your device will still be protected. Which phones or tablets support my Xperia Theft Protection? At the moment the following devices support MXTP. • Xperia M4 Aqua • Xperia Z4 Tablet • Xperia C4 How do I setup MXTP? You may already have setup MXTP since its part of our setup guide but in case you have missed or skipped the part about my Xperia in the setup guide you can still configure this via the Settings menu. Open Settings and scroll down and tap Security > Tap Protection by my Xperia Tap Activate in the my Xperia screen > Agree to the Sony Mobile Privacy Policy by checking the checkmark and tapping Accept . In the confirmation screen tap Back or Home to leave my Xperia. How do I deactivate MXTP? If you wish to deactivate MXTP you need to authenticate as the legal owner of your Xperia device. Open Settings > Security > Protection by my Xperia. Tap Deactivate > Confirm that you wish to disable the protection > Sign in with the Google account you have used to activate MXTP. Please note: If you fail to provide the correct login credentials five times, your device will automatically enter lockdown. Lockdown – What is Lockdown? To protect your Xperia device against unauthorized access and to render it completely useless for a thief it can enter a mode called Lockdown. What triggers Lockdown? Lockdown will activate when a serious exception to the normal use patterns are detected. Example of such exceptions are: • Performing a master reset. • Performing a software repair using PCC or B4M (or third party flash tools). • Deleting the Google account used for enabling MXTP. • Trying to disable MXTP in the settings and failing to provide the correct login credentials 5 times. • Trying to delete MXTP or removing the administration rights of MXTP. • Triggering Lockdown using MyXperia in a web browser (with the correct login credentials). What happens in Lockdown? Essentially, Lockdown will render the device completely useless unless you have the correct Google credentials to validate the device: • All running applications are stopped. • You can no longer maximize the notification panel. • Incoming calls are sent to voicemail (if available). • Outgoing calls (except emergency calls) are blocked. • The USB port will only be available for charging. It will not be possible for a PC or Mac to detect the device. This also applies to a software repair or flash. Lockdown will remain in effect until the user has validated the device. Reloading software, rebooting the device or manipulating the persistent storage will not disable the service. How to exit Lockdown? If lockdown was triggered you can unlock your Xperia device by authenticate as the valid owner of the device by signing in to the Google account which was used to activate My Xperia. Exit lockdown using mobile data. Most likely scenarios: • You have deleted the Google account used to activate MXTP • You failed to provide the correct login info when trying to deactivate MXTP • You accidentally tried to delete MXTP • You have locked your Xperia device remotely using My Xperia in a browser To unlock: Tap Authenticate in the lockdown screen > Enter the login credentials you used for sighing up for MXTP and tap Sign in > Wait until your account is validated. Exit lockdown using a Wi-Fi connection. Most common scenarios: • You have performed a master reset of your device • You have performed a software repair using PCC or B4M • You have erased your data using My Xperia in a web browser To unlock: Tap Wi-Fi settings in the lockdown screen > Connect to a Wi-Fi network and tap the back button > Tap Authenticate in the lockdown screen. The following authentication is exactly as it is using a mobile data connection. Good to know: If you tap Authenticate without connecting to Wi-Fi network you see a prompt informing you that you need to have a connection. Source:talk.sonymobile |
