Before you flash
Back up first
Skip this step if you have flashed before. If this is your first time, keep a "Save Full Flash" backup from https://xteink.dve.al/.
Use a data USB-C cable
Connect the Xteink to your computer. If no serial port appears, wake and unlock the device, then reconnect it. On the X4 Pro, unplug and replug the cable and hold Power if the port does not show up.
Use Chrome or Edge on desktop
Firefox and Safari do not support Web Serial. The browser will ask you to choose the Xteink USB serial port (ESP32-C3 on the X4 and X3, ESP32-S3 on the X4 Pro).
Do not unplug while flashing
The page validates the partition table, writes the inactive OTA app slot, updates otadata, and resets the device when it finishes.
