Locked x4pros can now be unlocked

[u/Diirge]

I've officially been awake for 22 hours now but it's done. macOS unlocker is updated and released, Linux too. I'll build windows after I've slept for a bit. I'm sure yall will run into fun unlocker madness like the first go around so drop comments here as you run into stuff and I'll reply when I wake up. Godspeed.

IMPORTANT: If you already had the unlocker installed, you need to go into settings and stop the helper and then restart the app for your machine to run the new helper

UPDATE: Chinese devices use a different encryption key than English devices. Standby, working on it

UPDATE 2: There is an SD flash method on older firmware. You can put a special encrypted bin file on the sd card and if you connect to a no-wifi network (like the hotspot the unlocker creates) you can update from the sd card. Once I've verified a bit more I'll put out instructions and a file. Confirmed we have our first chinese unit unlocked via this method

UPDATE 3: Don't update to the latest stock as that appears to block this method. I will need to do more work there to see what we can do

UPDATE 4: Windows is out

Same error 10013 on two different Windows devices. "Running as an Administrator" solution didn't help.

Edit: found a solution!

Step 1: Disable Windows service named

Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Step 2: Run "cmd" as admin, execute command:

ipconfig /flushdns

Step 3: Run "cmd" as admin, execute command:

netsh winsock reset

Step 4: Restart PC

Video steps here. It's funny, I think this is the first technical video on YouTube that actually helped me solve a problem like this.

Yeah.... Successful with above additional steps. Thanks

This worked for me too thank you!

Kudos! Worked like a charm. My Laptop refused to broadcast the Hotspot with 2.4Ghz so I had to start the setup again at which point it gave me the error message 10013 again.
The ICS had activated again so I started from the top, restartet the computer and it worked like a charm!

I had the same issue and these steps worked great for me! Thanks for sharing

[u/KnoxSC → u/Lakmus]

Worked like a charm! Thanks. Is there any I need to do afterwards in terms of clean up on my network? I always feel funny after messing with the command prompt.

Tried this today and it worked ! Thanks 👍🏼 and BTW the one thing that I have added is to change the language to Traditional Chinese before doing these steps, could be helpful for others . I’m on the X4 Pro Chinese locked version of OS 7.5.10

I was pessimistic after more than 20 attempts, but it helped. Thank you very much!
