I’m a little confused, which part of my comment would require persistence? I was suggesting a lulzy payload that would prevent the user from _actually_ restarting their device by changing the behavior of the power button. As a means of bypassing the “just restart your phone every time you use it” countermeasure.


Would not work, as this is indeed a lower-level function.
