I just read it from China iRex forum (http://irexreader.cn/bbs/viewthread....age%3D1&page=1).

As we all know, iLiad selling in China doesn't provide developer package. And China iLiad users can only connect to China iDS. Now, some genious found a way to redirect China version iLiad to Europe iDS.

I hereby translate the steps described above into English:
1. Install masqdns on a Linux machine, or install a Windows DNS Server on Windows XP. Redirect ids.cn.irexnet.com to 80.255.245.68.
2. Set your home network to use the above DNS.
3. Connect. (I think it should be to connect iLiad to Internet and sync with iDS.)
4. Register a account in MyIrex, and setup iLiad with the account info.
5. Ask for a developer package on https://myirex.irexnet.com/user.php/developer
6. Reconnect and sync.

According to the original post, it is proved successful.

It's quite strange that Europe iDS accepts all iLiad MAC to register an account. In China iRex Forum, people are wondering when will Europe iDS close the backdoor. In my opinion, neither China or Europe iRex will close this backdoo. Anyway, they don't provide warranty to those device applied shell access.

Honestly, I doubt this backdoor info was leaked from Europe iRex to China iRex, then to China iLiad users.
