SOLVED! (I think)

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: It seems there IS a way to escape the lock caused by MXTP.

You have probbaly updated all the apps on your phone right after you set it up. It is quite normal to reboot the phone after installing a bunch of software, after all old Windows habits die hard. Unfortunately, It seems that MXTP hates updates.

Open the my Xperia website.

Erase the data on your M4 which is stuck on the "Protected" MXTP screen. You may need to re-login on the websie.

Let the phone reset itself to factory settings.

The MXTP screen pops up again when you run the Xperia initial setup. Enter your google login info here. It SHOULD go through now.

Frantically make sure at least 20 times that MXTP is disabled and curse it to oblivion with torment and pain for eternity.

You should also reboot to make sure it worked. I could also have been lucky, I can't promise it will work for everyone. It's certainly quicker than repairing through PC Companion or other flashing software.

From what I can guess, MXTP does not seem to work with the updated versions of various google services, and will only work properly with the version it was shipped with. Services like Android System Webview may also be the culprit here, since MXTP does open a web page internally.

well i got my handset replaced from service center in 5 days. they themselves said that the problem is in the problem is in the my xperia theft protection software. well i wish you all luck for trying the above mentioned procedures. cuz its almost as doing a factory reset but yet it doesnt go. an update has been certified will b coming soon to our devices and that will fix this issue. till then get your handset replaced and enjoy a brand new handset

Really grateful for this, had a long fight since yesterday because of that MXTP glitch. And I only got my phone for like a week so I was really pissed that I'd need to bring it back to Sony for repair or replacement, great thing I found this post. Just have to restart setting-up my phone, though. Nevertheless, thanks a bunch!!!: good::good::good:

Resolving Protected screen on xperia dual m4 aqua

PROTECTED PROBLEM/SOLUTION IN SONY EXPERIA Z2363 M4 AQUA

i BOUGHT THIS PHONE ON 6TH OF JUNE 2015.EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING FINE. DID GO THROUGH THE START UP PROCESS CREATED AN ID OVER GOOGLE

AND ACTIVATED THE ANTI THEFT. THE REAL PROBLEM STARTED YESTERDAY THAT IS 21 JULY 2015 WHEN MY BATTERY DRAINED OUT. THE MOMENT I REBOOTED IT

AFTER PUTTING ON CHARGING THIS WIERED MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING PROTECTED.NOW THAT I KNEW MY GMAIL ID PRETTY WELL I ENTERED THE

PARAMETERS AND THIS BUGGER KEEPS SAYING INCORRECT USERNAME/PASSWORD. I SCRATCHED EVERY INCH OF MY BRAIN AND CROSSCHECKED MY

INTIAL ENTERED ID BY LOGGING INTO ALL MY GOOGLE ACCOUNTS AND LOCATING THE INTIAL EMAIL GENERATED BY CELL PHONE AT TIME OF SET UP PROCESS.

IN BRIEF THE ID WAS CORRECT. NOW HERE THE FUN PART STARTS SEARCHING ON INTERNET AND CUSTOMER CARE LEFT ME NOWHERE. SO I STARTED DOING MY JIG.

NOW THERES A LAG IN THIS POP UP MESSAGE WHEN U RESTART THE PHONE MAYBE 10 SEC OR SO NOT SURE THOUGH BUT IF U ARE REALLY REALLY FAST WITH UR PHONE

KNOW UR WAYS THEN IMMEDIATELY GO TO SETTINGS AFTER RESTART AS THE COUNTDOWN IS ON, FIND BACKUP AND RESET OPTION AND FORMAT EVERYTHING IT WILL ASK U A PASSWORD WHICH WILL BE THE

SAME AS UR SCREEN LOCK PASSWORD. THE MOMENT U PRESS ERASE EVERYTHING UR COUNTDOWN MIGHT HAVE BEEN TO ZERO AND THIS BLACK COLORED SCREEN WILL HAUNT YOU AGAIN SAYING PROTECTED

DONT WORRY U HAVE ALREADY INITIATED THE PROCESS IN THE BACKGROUND WHICH KEEPS ON RUNNING. AFTER 10 MINUTES OR SO UR PHONE WILL LEAP INTO SHUTTING DOWN PROCESS

THEN LET IT RESTART IT MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME.AFTER FULL RESTART THIS PROTECTED POPUP SCREEN WILL REAPPEAR LIKE A BAD FLU.NOW U ENTER UR INITIAL GMAIL ID AND NOW IT WILL ACCEPT.

BUT U GOT TO BE SURE ABOUT UR STARTUP GMAIL ID.

I TRIED THIS STUFF TWICE ON MY CELL PHONE AND IT WORKED.

solution

If you are having problems trying to log back into your phone using MXTP, try the following steps to see if it works for you.

1. Log into the My Xperia website.

2. Click on your Sony Xperia device and erase data. The device will reset to factory settings.

3. MXTP will re-appear but hopefully your Google log-in details will now work.

4. Once the phone restarts, disable MXTP until Sony fixes the issue.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Kalobok:
Sony PC Companion helps...

I had the same situation as the topic starter: locked the phone and accidentally deleted the phone record on MyXperia (so no remote reset was possible).

The solution was exactly as described by Harmen70, the only difference was that I did the backup of all my data before repairing the phone by the PC Companion.

And still waiting for an answer from Sony support regarding the issue (for two days already)...

Lockdown Authentication Problem

Hi all. I too faced this problem of authentication. Even if I provide the correct login credentials, it displayed an error. Then I tried this method. I got it unlocked now. :cool::good:

If you are having problems trying to log back into your phone using MXTP, try the following steps to see if it works for you.

1. Log into the My Xperia website.

2. Click on your Sony Xperia device and erase data. The device will reset to factory settings.

4. Once the phone restarts, disable MXTP until Sony fixes the issue.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] googlanoid:
Had same problem, Xperia was in "PROTECTED" status, showed itself to be connected to WiFi, but whenever I tried to authenticate with my Google account details it kept saying "incorrect username or password".

I held in the power button to turn it off, selected "restart" option, and this time when the PROTECTED screen came up, it connected to WiFi after I'd put in the Google log-in details and accepted them. Might work for someone else.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jamaaal:
Guys I fixed my c4 from mxtp, it's back to normal function!!! I followed these instructions from this guy who posted his method (2nd post on page 12 by dariamorgendorff_) on the Sony support forum for m4:

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-8482-M4-Aqua/MXTP-created-problems-for-me/td-p/1003330/page/12

I don't know if it was this exact method that worked or maybe Sony updated pcc to fix mxtp thru the software. But it worked and I'm using my c4 like normal! Just make sure you hold the vol button down when you plug your wire to the phone! After you finish the process, mxtp lockscreen will be there, put in your credentials and the phone should restart and viola! Backup your data before using pc companion. Good luck!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Mg Thein:
I have another way to get some functions of that phone

I found that changing user profile will get limited access of that phone.

1. Power on & don't unlock it

That can view notification drawer

2. Slide the Notification Center and choose user profile at top right corner.

3. Choose "add guest" or "add user"

Now set up the phone and get some feature of the phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] IsabelIH33_2012:
Hi everyone! I have the same problem but I might have found what happened - it's a 72hr security lockdown by google. You cannot factory reset because the phone will go on 72 hr lockdown and no matter what you do, you just have to wait. I'm not exactly sure about what triggers this lockdown, but I think the same thing happened to me when I changed my google password from a computer I had never used before. I switched my SIM card to my old phone, and I'll just wait to see if I can log in again after the 72hr period.

I like the features of Cloudy and BlissPop was not working on my device - and I'm not a huge fan of CM. I'd like to make Cloudy look a little bit closer to stock Android, or even closer to Android ICS. I kind of miss the darker, elegent tones of ICS over the very bright vivid colors of LG stock and even Lollipop stock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] injectx:
If you really want that stock Lollipop experience I would say go with Blisspop. I've been using this rom for a while and it has been great (until I decided to use the camera more and go for Cloudy 2.3).

There are also some themes for stock based roms, not sure if they work with Cloudy 2.3 though.

UltimateBrowserProject​

[IMG="Logo"]http://i.imgur.com/OxLFjGf.png[/IMG]​

UltimateBrowserProject is a

to-be

Open Source browser that aims to do the work unlike any other browser. Currently, it supports the following functions. (And Probably many more!)​

Custom home:​

When you first log in to the browser, the about:blank page is shown. Use the overflow menu's Add to home to pin webpages.Use the overflow menu's Relayout to customize your homepage.Long press on a card on the homepage, and you can edit the title.

Switch tabs:​

You can set tab switcher position at top or bottom of the screen by changing the settings at Setting/Browser/Tab position.Press the address bar and drag it down or up, then the tab switcher will be displayed.Swipe up/down to dismiss a page.

Remember that if the soft keyboard is shown the tab switcher would not display, it's not a bug, but an intended design.

​

Load in Background:​

Set UltimateBrowserProject as your default browser.A Single tap will open links in background, and show a clickable notification in statusbar. Double tapping the link will show a dialog that allows you to open links in foreground.

Volume control:​

In Setting/Browser/Volume control you can set the volume keys behavior to:

Switch tabs.

Scroll webpages.

System default. (Works as default volume keys)

AdBlock Whitelist:​

Since AdBlock maybe cause some websites to display error, you can add them to Setting/AdBlock/Whitelist

Screenshot:​

UltimateBrowserProject can capture entire webpages!

But Unfortunately, that doesn't mean you can screenshot a very long page, which may cause the browser to go Out Of Memory.

Material Design:​

UltimateBrowserProject is based on Google's Material Design standards! and is optimized for Android 5.1.

Lightweight:​

One of the main purpose of this project is to keep the browser lightweight and NOT RAM hungry.

This Browser was created by having heavy usage in mind, along with the lightweight-ness. So, Maximum possible features have been implemented while keeping the application size as small as possible and as less RAM hungry as possible.

​
