**Summary:**

1. **FBI Appeal to Cellebrite** : The FBI, struggling to unlock the phone of the shooter at a Trump rally, reached out to Cellebrite, a digital intelligence firm, for assistance with the newer Samsung model.

2. **Unreleased Technology** : Cellebrite provided the FBI with new, unreleased software that successfully accessed the phone, helping to gather data to understand the shooter’s motives.

3. **Urgent Response** : Within hours, Cellebrite’s federal team transferred additional technical support to the FBI in Quantico, Virginia, after the local Pittsburgh bureau’s existing Cellebrite software failed to unlock the device.
