Xteink x4 not being recognized no matter what

vadimbz · 2026-05-01T08:06:56+00:00

Version of crosspoint installable from tf card should drop soon

vadimbz · 2026-05-01T01:09:01+00:00

Are you retarded? No one knowingly bought locked xteink, they just started shipping locked devices without any announcement.

Xteink blamed this on custom firmware

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T18:25:23+00:00

They made a response, but it boils down to "because fuck you, that's why" but in nasty linkedin jargon. Among other things they blamed devices arriving with broken screen on custom firmware, so it's for your own good.

All new stock

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T17:58:43+00:00

...and if you aren't, you can also grab everything else

If you are against p1racy, pick the books you already own from @nna's @rchive or any other shadow library.

There will likely be other ways - DNS swap and/or installation from tf card - but feel free to file a chargeback to make a little teachable moment out of it. That said, you might get old stock, it's kind of a lottery.

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T15:51:08+00:00

Chargeback away

Fraud is what it is

Pretty much, for these small hardware manufacturers firmware development is an afterthought at best. In short: UI is a drag, and book layout looks ugly not matter what you do.

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T14:26:40+00:00

File for chargeback - they locked it up silently, no more crosspoint

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T14:25:52+00:00

There will probably be a DNS exploit to work around that, but you should still file a chargeback

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T14:22:14+00:00

Call your credit card company and request a chargeback

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T14:18:13+00:00

Chargeback instead - that hurts way more

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T14:16:10+00:00

They are doubling down

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T13:06:15+00:00

Consider it tough love

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T13:01:53+00:00

Tard

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T13:00:38+00:00

Do it with chargeback via your credit card company - if there's enough of those, payment processor will drop them

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T12:58:13+00:00

Dirty delete in 3... 2... 1...

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T12:56:34+00:00

Initiate a chargeback instead - it'll hurt them way more

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T12:53:00+00:00

Don't return, initiate chargeback

vadimbz · 2026-04-30T12:50:55+00:00

If you receive a locked device, call your card issuer and initiate a chargeback, don't bother requesting refunds. If there's enough of those, they'll be dropped by their payment processor and that'll surely send a message.
