>Nope, because everything is ultimately dependent on the hardware key in the Secure Enclave

The phone in question is an iPhone 5C which does not have a Secure Enclave, only a burned-in hardware ID.

It's also worth pointing out that there's no clear evidence that the Secure Enclave must clear all keys as part of a SE firmware update (just speculation that this would be reasonable).
