| Challenge | Explanation | |-----------|-------------| | Proprietary handshake | Balong chips require challenge‑response using secret keys/algorithm (maybe SHA‑256 + vendor salt). | | Encrypted data | Firmware blobs are decrypted on chip – you’d need the decryptor inside the tool or emulate the crypto. | | Device signature checking | Even after loading, the bootloader verifies digital signatures. | | Version‑specific differences | v10110 likely supports specific baseband firmwares and may break on others. | | Legal/NDA concerns | Reverse engineering generally violates ToS/EULA; distribution of working implementation could lead to legal action. |
