How I Defeated the Cobo Vault Pro’s Self-Destruct Mechanism

Cobo Vault Pro is a hardware wallet focused on “see what you sign” security. The Vault Pro runs a cut-down version of Android, which seems a sensible choice given the capabilities of the hardware. There’s no home screen, but the touchscreen makes this much easier than the Ledger. Signing is accomplished by showing a QR code, which I scan with my Vault Pro, and I can interact with web3 apps using it. The device seems solidly made, and the batteries clip-on satisfyingly with a magnetic clasp that also makes them easy to remove.
