Welp. Had one running for years. ADB'd into it and no sign of an infection despite it being the exact one to be. I don't use anything important on it so I'm considering burning it. OP, do you know of any way to flash a clean OS onto it? If the malware is as deep as it is described maybe a full system reinstall would be best instead of just uninstalling known badware.

I'm with you on that. There are efforts underway to get plain-old Linux running, but it's some time away as this chip only went into mainline as of kernel 6.0

Agh, your script seemed to have bricked my device. It sends it into a loop forever booting and doesn't reach anything. :/

No big loss though, it hasn't been used in years.

Wow sorry to hear that. If you can, check if the device is still available over ADB. If it is, try re-running the script.

Not sure what happened in your case, I flashed many ROMs and ran the script against them to see if anything bad would happen. No issues.

In any case it won't be a Hard Brick. Power off, hold [volume-up] insert power jack and tap the [power] button 10 times. (I think. I lost my remote ages ago and can't check.)

Yep I actually toyed around with it and got it to boot - thanks for the help!
