    The point is not cheapness but that you don’t care about the future of that phone. It’s only a tool for the protest, if it lasts longer that’s good but you expect it to get confiscated and never given back, you don’t care what cops did with it if you get it back, it does not have data you need in your daily life or anything irreplaceable, and you’re not really afraid that it gets destroyed by accident or maliciously.

      Yes that is one definition.

      But what if you get it back? Or if you just keep it?

      There is a chance that you have Pegasus on there, and I wouldnt want a phone without the detection of this.

      GrapheneOS can likely detect pegasus with their Attestation and if you have it, use an external device to reflash it.

        You attempt to flash your full backup to it. And maybe then read it back if you can for verification that it was actually written to memory, but that probably won’t be possible when using fastboot. That’s all you can do that’s reliable, to some extent.
