Sony's My Xperia Theft Protection reportedly breaking unlocked devices
Sony's My Xperia Theft Protection (MXTP) feature, currently live on a number of the company's newer products, will apparently break bootloader-unlocked devices. For new devices that haven't been unlocked, enabling MXTP removes the ability to unlock the bootloader. The real problem presents itself when you enable the feature on a device where the bootloader is already unlocked.
From Sony's Unlock Bootloader site:
Currently, MXTP is available on the Xperia Z3+, Z4 Tablet, C4, and M4 Aqua. It's worth noting, however, that Sony doesn't officially allow these devices to have their bootloaders unlocked at the moment.
