Tolzeal:If the phone is not rooted, flashing a custom Rom won't work. What will work is flashing an earlier version of the phone's stock Rom then poof! goes the protection. |

This service have been running on the apple platform icloud..it wld be great if the android family get a similar app.because any phone locked on icloud.as in stolen mode .forget about the phone.because you can never use it again |

Emeka71: No they cant. Its going to work similar to the icloud activation feature on iphone. When you buy a new phone its not activated. To activate it you need to link your google account with the device. This uses the google ID and IMEI or UDID to calculate unique token for your device only and kept securely in google servers. Anytime the phone is wiped or you declare it stolen to google, the phone defaults to the inactivated state and requests your ID to activate. Since the secure hash or token is saved in the cloud and not ROM and is unique to every phone no amount of flashing can activate the phone. 1 Like |

Unfortunately, I was robbed last month. They stole my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and BlackBerry Q10. It's such a shame the rate of robbery in Lagos. The one that hurt me more was the Samsung phone. It costed me 125k to buy. I wish android can be able to track it phones whether it's been reset to factory settings (flashed) or not. |

the only problem is that 90% of phones out there will never get the 5.1 rom. unless google releases a standalone app or updated android device manager, there will still be a large market for stolen android devices 1 Like |

oyb: An app can't dot he function. They have the app but it can't beat a feature baked inside an OS. Ur calculation might be wrong cos many people would upgrade this year, most s3 and g2 users would upgrade and these users got stuck on JB. But will the upcoming s6 and edge and G4, expect the count of LP to rise even more than expected. |

ollah1: what is rolling out right now is lollipop 5.01. it will be months before a 5.1 update rolls out. right now, world wide lollipop is less than 5%. will lenovo, xiaomi, and co roll out 5.0? even the likes of samsung can only be counted to release updates for flagship phones. mid range and below, oyo as for tecno, gionee and infinix . . . 1 Like |

you all have made valid points but you forget that not everyone who is using an android phone or even any smartphone for that matter knows how to synchronize his or her phone to an email account. |
Re: Smartphone Thieves Will Hate This New Android 5.1 Update. by Nobody: 7:51pm On Mar 15, 2015 |
I believe to be completely tamper proof, the protection has to be a hardware, some kind of isolated circuitry, that way even if u wipe the phone, that part remains untouched. Good one Google. |
