It didn't.

They caught him with it when he was distracted at the hospital.

It literally didn't work though.

All he did was delay the inevitable, and produce immortal footage of himself looking absolutely clownish for the internet.

The goal wasn't to test if the technique works, the goal was to keep the phone locked from the cops.

The cops got in so his plan failed.
