@chinahand Sure but all they need to do is change the metadata in the code to make it work on other phones. -
@emptywheel i dunno! think the whole ball of yarn is encrypted using cert key. If firmware updated is a) phone specific & b) encrypted -

@emptywheel angle might be why USG not pushing for CALEA style universal legislative fix & keeping it case by case. -
