Unbrick Your ISDT C4 or Compatible Devices

I'm not responsible if you set anything on fire, or hurt someone, or anything bad that happens after you used this guide. Broken chargers are dangerous devices, escpecially if you charge Lithium batteries.

Also, keep in mind that if you use this on a charger that is actually incompatible, you certainly break it. If you use this on a charger that is a branded version of the ISDT C4, it will be become an unbranded version. If this is not what you desire, e.g. as it will void your warranty, don't use it. (Though, if you're reading this, I guess the warranty is already gone...)

Using the old Windows updater for the ISDT C4 you can try to unbrick your ISDT C4 or compatible devices. If the updater refuses to update your device because of The device not support., you can force it to by opening the file Config\config.ini, changing the configuration variable Privacy=01 to Privacy=FF, saving, and restarting the updater. The title bar of the updater should now read (Factory mode). It will now recognize your unsupported device, and does not care if it really is unsupported. Unfortunatelly the old updater seems to be gone since 2020-06-16. As a hint: The file was named C4-V1.1.0.16.zip.
