These units are unofficial, third-party knockoffs modeled after genuine Ross-Tech HEX-V2 hardware. Because they use cracked firmware and cheap microcontroller substitutes to bypass licensing, they are highly prone to "bricking" (becoming permanently deactivated) if they connect to the internet or are used with official software updates.
