Octoplus Pro Box

Q: What are the main advantages of Octoplus Box?

A: Octoplus Box / Octoplus Pro Box is one of the most updatable and effective solutions for Flash / Unlock / Repair of Samsung & LG phones.
With Octoplus you always get:

  • Weekly Updates
  • Fast Unlock and Flashing operations
  • Multilingual Interface
  • Live Technical Support 24/6

Q: What is the difference between Octoplus Box and Octoplus Pro Box?

A: Octoplus Pro Box is the latest box solution developed by the Octoplus Team. This box has integrated eMMC/JTAG interface, already activated Samsung & LG, and goes with 7-in-1 cable/adapter set.
Octoplus Box is the older version of this solution which is still available and supported. Octoplus Box doesn`t have integrated eMMC/JTAG interface and goes with 5-in-1 cable set. Available both as basic solution (without cables & activations) and pre-activated solution with cable set included in the package.

Q: Error: The number of updates has exceeded the maximum value!
What kind of error is it? How can I use all of my updating attempts?


A: This limit is set to protect your smart card from too frequent updates. Usually, software notifies a user about the necessity of updates. Therefore, never update your smart card if it`s not required. The smart card can simply block itself, and as a result, you will no longer be able to use this smart card.
If you have reached updating attempts limit, please contact us via chat or email [email protected] and we will allow more attempts, or wait until 00:00 UTC+2 and attempts will be added automatically.

Do I need to register Octoplus Pro Box?

No, you don`t.
Just update the smart card of your box once and you will be able to work with Octoplus software.

But the software is asking me account details (login and password)...

To perform some service operations, you need to spend Octoplus server credits, that`s when you need an account. Personal account with credits is created when you buy Octoplus server credits only. This account can be used without the box (for example, with Octoplus Suite software) because it`s not tied to it.

But I see that the box can be registered on Boot-Loader...

Yes, you can register Octoplus Pro Box or any other Octoplus box modification on Boot-Loader to be able to download the needed firmwares faster than directly from Octoplus software or to enlist your box in Loyalty Program, but this is not obligatory and you can work with box without this registration.

Octoplus Digital License

What is it?

Digital License is a digital product with the same functionality as activations that doesn`t require any dongle or box and is bound to your PC.

So what's the point?
You have a choice: invest in a physical carrier with unlimited usage or spend little money on a short-term license. Besides that there is no shipping fee, so you're saving on this as well and you don't have to wait for delivery.

What options are available?
Separate licenses for LG, Samsung, Huawei, FRP and FULL all-in-one combining them all.

Are they unlimited?
No, they are limited in time. 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year period.

Can I upgrade 3 or 6 months license to 1 year?
Unfortunately no, that's not possible. You can arrange an exchange with your seller if you hadn't used it though.

I own a box already. Do I need this?
No, you don't

Does that means I have to pay each year to use my box?
No.

Can I activate a timed license on my box?
No, there are no possible reasons to do so. You can buy a license and use them independently if you want or buy an unlimited activation for box users.

Can I convert my box to digital unlimited license?
No, there is no such possibility

So who will need this?
New customers who don't own any product from Octoplus family yet

Is there any difference between digital license and box (dongle)?
In terms of functionality there is no difference. Digital license is limited in time, whereas box is not. And you must be connected to the Internet all the time.

And what about the support area access?
License users can't register at Boot-Loader.com, but alternative support area is accessible from Octoplus software.

Does digital license require credits too?
Yes, there is no difference. Server based operations require the same amount of credits as for box users.

Can I buy a license for credits?
No, credits are not accepted as a payment method.

Can I use it on multiple PCs?
You can switch between PCs after 48 hrs from last HWID change.

Also, there is a limit on HWID changing:

  • 3-month license - 6 times
  • 6-month license - 12 times
  • 1-year license - 25 times

It`s allowed to use the same license on 2 PCs without swicthing limits.

Factory Unlock and Remote Services

Important! Issues described in this section are related to Factory Unlock and Remote Services ONLY and cannot be related to phone unlocking procedures via Read Codes or TMB Unlock.
