Hi! Author here. Yes, whilst it is possible, you would have to boot the device using a computer every time, which renders it a pretty useless spy bug. It also wouldn't function as expected, whilst it would appear to be muted, pressing the button again would not work and it would only function normally after a reboot with a computer. Having said this, I guess it would be possible to have the script wipe itself and reflash the modified partitions when mute is pressed so it works as normal again after a reboot.
