Following the instructions on Harishmirrors post, I just did the upgrade to MRN76 Lite firmware.
I first downloaded the NinetoolBeta app for an Android phone, connected and it got the necessary info from my minipro. Then I sent the info to MRN76 by email and very soon after he sent details for a PayPal payment.
After I reported to him that I made the payment, he unlocked the Lite firmware in my app. Update went smoothly, all in all took just two minutes.
Now the minipro behaves like it always should have. I think it’s very much like how FreeRide described the swallowbot
