Geely EX2: sideloading demo video

See what app sideloading looks like on the Geely EX2 after the unlock. Not to be confused with the Brazilian and the Chinese EX2, as they have a different head unit with a different processor. Those are easily unlockable with a publicly available method, as opposed to the Australian EX2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do OTA or dealer software updates remove the unlock or my apps?

A: No. OTA updates keep the installed apps and keep the unlock. That's been the case since the car was released, valid as of today.

Q: Can the car be fully reverted to stock state?

A: Yes. A factory reset plus an OTA update performed after that reset fully reverts the car to stock state. Note: a factory reset alone wipes the unlock, but Custom Profiles has an adb service toggle feature which survives factory resets and lets you enable app sideloading back.

Q: Can I just decline OTA updates?

A: Yes. OTA updates aren't compulsory — you can always decline or disable them, then your unlock will stay forever with no chance of any issues. At annual servicing you can just ask the dealer not to update the software.

Q: How do I make sure the unlock persists if I need to service my car?

A: Multiple users have reported that if you turn USB adb mode on (for example, in Custom Profiles), go to the dealer, and even if they do a factory reset and reflash, adb will be still there. You'd be able to connect via a USB-A to USB-A cable and reinstall all apps back.

Q: Is there a risk of bricking the car?

A: There's no risk of it getting bricked if you just install normal apps and don't do deep system modifications (root).

Q: Will it affect my warranty or servicing?

A: We don't know for certain whether it affects warranty, but because it can be fully reverted to stock state, we don't see how it would. When the system is unlocked, it can technically be detected, but so far no one has reported any issues with getting the car serviced because of it.

Q: Does it enable Sentry mode?

A: It doesn't, however you can use EVCam with Parking Comfort mode, and then the car will record from built-in webcams and the vehicle stays awake. Custom Profiles has a quick toggle for Parking Comfort mode.

Q: EVCam and Surcam don't show all cameras?

A: Select Starship 7 as the car model.

Q: Does it work with Israeli/Brazilian/Hungarian/Polish/UK etc version of the car?

A: It works for cars in all markets.

Q: I'm in the Netherlands (any country) and my software is 1.x.x.x / 2.x.x.x. Does it work?

A: Yes, it works on all software versions.

Q: My car doesn't have an engineering menu. Is that an issue?

A: No, it's not an issue. We can still unlock your vehicle.
