The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a battery-drain bug in the Trezor bootloader that occurs when the device is left waiting for the user to confirm unofficial firmware. The old code kept the processor awake in a tight loop polling the touchscreen or buttons. The new code lets the device sleep and only wakes it when the user actually touches the screen or presses buttons, and it hibernates after 40 seconds of inactivity. There is no direct security vulnerability being patched; it is a power-management and usability fix.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine bug fix rather than a security patch. Users on affected models should update to a bootloader containing this fix to avoid battery drain when installing unofficial firmware. No immediate incident response is required.

Security signals we found

01

Battery-denial / device-availability issue mitigated by adding hibernation after 40 s of inactivity

02

Busy-wait polling replaced with event-driven sysevents_poll to reduce power consumption

03

No input validation, buffer handling, or cryptographic changes present
