It looks like they have on the PW4.
aka: Lab126 employees have stumbled upon MobileRead. Sad, frankly.
So the only hope (apart from some exploit or the other, a la iPhone jailbreak) is to desolder, flash, and resolder the eMMC, possibly flashing a modified U-Boot as an unlocked bootloader and/or to bypass signature checks?
As for the destructive teardown attempts at the KOA2 ... why? They didn't use sorcery to put it together, did they?
