I’ve been looking at these for a while, hoping the custom firmwares for it will become more popular, as I was considering getting this for my six-year-old.
The disabled usb is certainly a bummer. I wonder how they disabled it though – is there a hardware difference?
To flash a new firmware on those devices you just need to place the firmware image of crosspoint on the memory card and then press UP+POWER to reboot and install the new firmware.
My device was the China edition that was locked (USB firmware upload disabled), the memory card method worked fast and easy.
