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?

Crosspoint is very popular and very easy to flash onto the device.

Locking and preventing flashing of firmware only happened in China.

		This page mentions international models, but seems it's still possible to flash them in any case https://crosspointreader.com/#unlock-tool also: https://crosspointreader.com/unlocker
