Well I was able to get the phone disassembled and get down to the battery! Haven't done that in a few years, good fun! However removing the battery (which felt superglued in!) I see a connector I don't recognise! Does anyone know this connector? I assume the top (top 2?) connectors are positive and bottom (bottom 2?) are negative from the naming convention. However this thing is really tiny, like 1/4 the size of my pinkie fingernail tiny (apparently my iPhones zoom and focus is quite good!). I'm not confident I could hook this up without an adapter, which I suspect I _may_ be able to

I don't know about battery or partitions. But the below link might save you the effort of building a VM. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3850-pro1-x-flashing-stock-android-with-qdl-for-those-with-linux/

Thanks. I haven't looked at the battery inside, but I do have a IMAX B6 charger, so I'm assuming once I open it up I'll be able to charge it. Teardowns look like it's a 4.4v charging limit with 3200mah capacity, so that should be simple enough to trickle up to a good state. How infuriating! Thank you, that's a good tip. I'll follow it once I've got things running . I'll see how I go with EDL! Thank you, this guide looks great and heaps simpler than installing a bunch of Windows MSIs and making everything work! I'll see how I go and report back.

I think you are on the right path, and will need to go through EDL-mode. If the phone were turned off, the battery of a phone usually last for at the least a year if fully charged, without depleting it self. But if it was in a state where it turned it self off, and then was left for months, it might well be problematic. I do not know if there are any tricks to charge the battery in that state without opening the phone and charging the battery directly, by a circuitry bypassing the charging-logic (do not give the battery 5V directly). Many phones by default comes with a silly mode

Oh, and just to bring this back around to the OP, you can no longer back the Pro1x on the IGG page. You would have to either look on Ebay or wait to see if they become available in the FxTec store at some point.

Thanks Hook. Good to know Linxdot is legit, and good to know it is successful!

The main part of this is you have to boot to bootloader before executing this command. From android, you can execute adb reboot bootloader; I think you're sfos, so you're stuck using the voldown+power method to get there which always works.

You need to have usb debugging enabled, and ADB installed. Then we can execute fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 EDIT: from fastboot mode, see Craig's correction below.

Thanks @EskeRahn, you are completely correct, I bought a Pro1X and didn't realise the difference. Doh! I got caught up with some other projects and came back to this recently. The phone hadn't been charged in a few months and I definitely broke the partitions by treating it as a Pro1. When plugging in the phone via USB-C the red light flashes on and off, but I can't get any other response via button combination or after leaving it charging for a few hours. Any suggestions for me to reset this device and start again? I'm concerned leaving it uncharged for a few months may have caused so
