The most recent release of #GrapheneOS (2024052100) adds the first piece of our ongoing work on duress/panic features. It makes standard factory resets including by device admin APIs wipe the device near instantly before it reboots to recovery to wipe and format it.
We made our own wipe-without-reboot but we're backporting the Android 15 implementation instead of using ours. They made it in response to our vulnerability report about this (CVE-2024-29748, reported by GrapheneOS).
The April release added 2 Pixel specific protections against the 2 vulnerabilities we reported, but both vulnerabilities essentially impact all Android devices and were only addressed for Pixels. The factory reset interruption also isn't fully addressed until they ship this part.
A wipe without reboot is important as cutting device power during a restart can interrupt the wipe process. GrapheneOS now wipes without a reboot.
