Possible explanation why nexus 5 didn't have the new device protection topic

SOCIALIZE IT ⇨

So, just posted this a while ago at reddit, and some guy over there points out that maybe XDA is better place for this.

I'm just realized this afternoon by looking my android one device (sprout_b, indonesian version).
The Indian version (sprout) got updated to lollipop, and have the new device protection. Even if I flashed and used the said update on my device, I can't use the new device protection.

So I tried to compare both system files and boot.img, and found 1 partition missing on my device, FRP.
I investigated more about this, and it seems that both nexus 6 and 9 got this partition too (under the name PST).

And then, wild sudden clarity appears! FRP = Factory Reset Protection.
So, both my devices (nexus 5 and nexian journey 1 -android one- ) probably didn't receive this protection, because the partition needed for it isn't there.

For more info, here's the fstabs from both android one branch (sprout and sprout_b):

sprout:

FRP is also mentioned in file_contexts file in boot.img:

Code:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 u:object_r:frp_block_device:s0
