Links to first post

Archived from the first post -- this thread has lots of good information but the original information I found and shared was click bait. :o

Edit: PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST - IT APPEARS THAT THE LINK I FOUND IS INDEED CLICK BAIT AND FAKE.

Edit: I will continue to search the web in every language to find a way to unlock and root.

I ordered my X2 8/128 from AliExpress at the beginning of the month and should get it any day. :) :D

While fantasizing about my new phone I started looking around to see if anyone is working on a root... Seems that I'll be able to unlock and root right out of the box!!!

I don't want to break rules by promoting other sites so I'll copy the content here. I have not done this yet because I don't have my phone yet and take no responsibility if you brick your device.
