been thinking about buying one, but the whole debacle with locking down the fw put me off for a bit.

I agree it's an annoyance. However, the only thing that's locked on those is USB flashing. It is still possible to flash from an SD card.

I recently bought a locked Xteink X4 and installed Crosspoint. It's great! (And I've been reading a lot more.)

P.S. Their official site, https://xteink.com, seems to sell unlocked devices.

Oh I didn't hear about this. That sucks. The stock firmware is terrible. CrossPoint makes it usable.
