Clarification received on what "Pirated iStick using" actually means
Hi, I received some clarification on a cryptic description of a feature in the latest updates:
Instead of:
"Download iStick and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. ... 1、add the function of preventing pirated iStick using;"
It should read:
"Added the ability to detect the usage of counterfeit and unlicensed iSticks and to limit their usefulness and functionality with this app."
In order to use the iStick in iOS 9 and above, it needs to have its firmware upgraded and then it will become an iStick Pro and use that app instead. Contact HyperShop and they will give you a custom URL to download it.
Be aware that the firmware upgrade requires a Windows machine to run the upgrade program.
Unfortunately, the firmware update didnt work for me, it didnt find my device. So contacting them again you will get instructions for them to manually upgrade it for you. Mine is in the mail en route back to me.
So all hope is not lost, if you contact them, and be courteous they will get you back using the iStick (Pro).
Just make sure that you securely erase whatever is on your iStick because the one I got back was not originally mine but some elses and a data recovery revealed all their photos and movies that were thought to be deleted.
Hope that helps ease some frustration.
Cheers, Andrew.
Please develop this app!
