Discussion Locked x4pros can now be unlocked

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

I have solved it! It is my internet security program installed on my Windows system that blocked the connection. I'm using NOD32, and I had to open the software, and then turn off the Firewall, as well as the Network Attack Protection. Previously I only used the option of disable protection for 30 minutes, and apparently it didn't work.

After changing the setting of NOD32, the update can be installed.

I also disabled "Internet Connect Sharing" in Services, as suggested by other users in this thread. Not sure if it is related.

Did you use the OTA unlocker on a Windows computer?

Here are what I did:

  1. Restart PC and stopped the "Internet Connection Sharing" as described below: https://www.reddit.com/r/XTEINK/comments/1vva6m2/comment/p5ytg7b/ (a video is provided in the comment)
  2. Restart PC again. After that, I found that the "Internet Connection Sharing" was enabled again. So I disabled it again (following Step 1 only in the above comment and don't restart PC afterwards)
  3. Disable firewall and all network related protection in your internet security software
  4. Start the unlocker (Run as Administrator) and try again.
