This is news to me. Where was this info released? Is there a way to see when these are released from customs?
Also, is there a hardware diagram of the Brax3 devices so we can verify that no obvious shenanigans took place with our devices while they were held in customs for such an inordinate amount of time? What about software modification? Is there a way to verify that what is on the deives was not modified by anyone while these were held in customs?

After seeing the details of how DHL was created and how the government tried to cripple their business by holding shipments and disrupt the businessâŠit makes me wonder if these phones are being held in customs for so long simply to pressure customers into getting upset and requesting refunds just to limit the proliferation of privacy respecting devices.

Beyond that you will need to contact Brax directly for more detail.
Regarding trusting that the installed system has not being tampered with, I am not an expert but can make a few comments: iodĂ©OS as a policy does not allow adb root to devices due to not building userdebug builds. Many that prefer to make a full backup of their data complain about this but it is for security reasons isnât enabled.
In addition, since the bootloader is locked and the builds are signed, you will be notified / boot will not proceed if this is not satisfied.
Here is a bit more from our documentation:
Unfortunately, what a plausible scenario. I wish they werenât so petty, but then again I wake up in the morning and find new spy apps downloaded on my phone without my knowledge. Google Chrome turns off my browser extensions while I watch YouTube videos in real time. Once our phones come thru Iâm unplugging from the matrix.

So many of us are noticing the same things. Even older people I know are waking up to this and noticing ads for things they âjust talked aboutâ, etc. and it is waking some of them up to the need for privacy. We all have to keep sharing the truth with everyone who is receptive and also share the solutions we have found (Brax3, etc.). The needle is being moved. People are waking up and there is a growing privacy centered market. This is why I believe customs is delaying our shipments in the US.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this. To your root comment. Is there a method to root these devices just for backup and then unroot them for normal use? I am one of those who would like temporary root for device backups.
I havenât received mine
No, no one has yet. They have not yet been released by customs.

Thank you very much for the update! So, it sounds like you are confident they will be cleared by US customs this week. If someone at Brax could proactively provide weekly customs/shipping updates, I am confident that would ease a lot of tension. Thanks again!

I have rooted with magisk bits in order to test Android Auto which was previously not working on iodéOS 6.x / Android 15.x (but fixes have since been applied so no need for root for AA).
I canât comment on if this then allowed adb root or not, sorry I forgot to check and have since re-flashed the test devices I was experimenting with root on.
