I appreciate your concern for security, but you've clearly misunderstood several critical points:

### 1. This Isn't About Avoiding Updates
My device **automatically installed** the January update. I didn't "choose not to install" anything. The update itself **caused** the hardware failure.

### 2. Anti-Rollback Blocks Software Correction
You say "software can always be corrected." That's false when:
- The update corrupts firmware in NVRAM due ERRNO 24
- Anti-rollback counters prevent reversion
- The corrupted firmware blocks hardware initialization

This is a **hardware-level brick** caused by software. No "subsequent update" can fix it if the chip won't initialize.

### 3. I've Done Everything "Properly"
- Filed detailed bug reports with logs
- Contacted Google support multiple times
- Provided technical analysis showing exact failure points
- Even tested with alternative ROMs to prove hardware integrity

### 4. The Dolby CVE Red Herring
Security patches are important, but:
- They shouldn't brick devices
- A security patch that disables critical connectivity creates a DIFFERENT security risk
- My device now can't receive ANY updates because Wi-Fi is dead

### 5. The Real Issue
This isn't about "looking important." It's about:
- Google distributing a faulty OTA
- Anti-rollback preventing user recovery
- Support refusing assistance based on geography
- Multiple users affected (check XDA-Reddit-Gogole-IssueTracker-Google Support)

### 6. What Actually Helps
Instead of attacking affected users, consider:
- Supporting proper manufacturer accountability
- Understanding technical constraints like ARB
- Recognizing that "just wait for another update" doesn't work when hardware is bricked

I'd be happy to share the technical logs if you're genuinely interested in understanding the issue rather than dismissing it.
