Be aware that Xteink is locking down devices sold for the Chinese market (which includes those being sold on e.g. Taobao). If you want to run crosspoint, you should probably order your reader direct from Xteink.

There's already an OTA unlocker https://crosspointreader.com/#unlock-tool
Whoa that's a surprise. They even call out support for CrossPoint by name, too.
Moreover, it's a bit of a crazy looking hack too, by doing a MITM attack.
I'm curious to see what exactly is the seam between the Xteink brand and its upstream supplier(s).
It's like the brand company was against the firmware lockdown in the first place. It would be neat to better understand the Chinese consumer devices ecosystem.
Isn't that because it's the CrossPoint website?
I bought one yesterday from AliExpress. I hope I'm able to install new firmwares on it.
Interesting - I ordered mine from AliExpress in February and it was really easy to flash. Shane if they start blocking it.
I guess they don't like people buying their product.
