MXTP is added to the bootloader of a phone, which means it will continue to protect your phone even if someone tries to wipe a device clean using PC Companion or third-party solutions such as Flashtool. Currently, only three Sony Xperia devices supports MXTP including the Xperia M4 Aqua, Xperia C4 and Xperia Z4 Tablet. The good news for Xperia owners is that Sony has provided its own solution running on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop in the form of “ My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP)”. Google plans to try and address this problem in Android 5.1 with a feature called “Device Protection”, however for the time being it is only available to select Google Nexus owners. However, a big disadvantage with these services is that it is relatively easy for someone to wipe a phone clean and ‘my Xperia’ or ‘Android Device Manager’ with it. The service is similar to Google’s Android Device Manager, allowing users to locate, ring, lock or wipe a device remotely. Sony’s “my Xperia” feature will be familiar to most Sony Xperia owners.
