Just a note: it can still be forced off/rebooted by pressing power button even longer. Likely the thief will just do that.
So there's not much point for this.

Plus isn't your phone's encryption at its strongest state after its been rebooted, before it's been unlocked? Guess it'll be useless unless OP has an outdated security patch, a weak passcode or if it was snatched while unlocked
I'm just looking for the strongest security methodology. Yeah, I didn't think about this
Need some kind of fake power-down mode baked into the OS, which locks encrypted storage and switches on an unresponsive black screen tracking mode.
Why do you want to prevent it? thieves could simply put it into a faraday cage.
My Android 14 device don't allow shutdown or enabling flying mode when is locked.
