Yes.

#4Why on earth would you have a heap in a zero-stage-burned-into-chip bootloader, not to mention a USB stack. It's just self-inflicted harm at this point.

#5Wow, it's really cool to read how things like this happen.
While we're here, is there anything I can use to remove the alphanumeric passcode from an iPad 4 (A6X chipset, no Secure Enclave) that I've forgotten the password to?

USB stack is because one of the rom bootloader’s primary functions is DFU mode so that you can reflash a bricked device.

#7TIL SecureROM != SecuROM.
I came to this post anticipating a nostalgic trip about some ancient DRM and a stupidly simple way to break it.
Got confused when it was about Apple phone OS.

There's a device called "IP box" which may be able to do that, it's not cheap but a mobile repair/unlocking store would probably have one.

A heap isn't needed, it is just super helpful.
Also DFU is not the world's best protocol, I am surprised Apple didn't just roll their own. It isn't exactly hard to replace DFU with something simpler that gets the job done.
