      installing your own OS and/or bootloader is a pain and most of the time unfeasable. And that’s the only way to safely kill software based backdoors.

        Even then, unless you also blow away the firmware, you can’t be sure it’s clean.

          on Android, the OS is the firmware. If you talk about peripheral firmware, I’d not call it “software based” anymore.
