When installed, Hobbes drops a corrupted binary to crash the OS at reboot due to the device unable to start up applications. The user will also receive a message to prompt to user to "reboot your phone after installation to ensure real-time protection working."
If the device is rebooted, all smartphone functionality is disabled but the ability to make and receive calls is unaffected.
