      do not lock interstate, and perhaps, do not use within a few hours of locking.

      Think it's the second part. Still been locking interstate with a new account after my first couple got banned, so far it's been fine as long as I waited until at least the day after before fuelling up.
      I mean it makes sense, if you're a 'normal' user why would you bother with locking if you were just gonna immediately go fuel up straight after lol?

  • DKC on 17/09/2024 - 22:15

    Update from my end - lock works within the same state - one account per iPhone 8 and iPhone 6S (newish accounts with iPhones reset) still worth it saving $20 per 80L of 98

    • jv on 18/09/2024 - 15:28

      saving $20 per 80L

      Not when other stations nearby are a lot cheaper than 7/11

      • DonaldJTrump on 23/09/2024 - 21:37

        If I care to fill up 98, do I fill up Mobil 1 goodness at 7-11 or unknown sludge from Panter/United/Liberty ?

          The price from the same brand often varies by a lot within a few kms.

          Just checking Coles Express within 5km from me varies from 167.9 to 193.9 (8c cheaper if using vouchers)

          7/11 are 187.9 to 193.9

  • Ryk on 26/09/2024 - 22:13

    Doh!
    caught by the 25c/L discount limit again. bh.

    voucher for 166.5.
    local price last night was 171.9
    start filling up this afternoon and notice the pump says 212.9, bugger.
    Immediately stop filling and will head for a better price, either another 7-11, or the various BPs around that still say low 170s

    • bye711 on 27/09/2024 - 13:53

      it's interesting that a servo sets 221.9 while another one is 200 meters away, sets 150.9… what's the point of hiking price…

  • Techefy on 27/09/2024 - 17:02

    Any luck locking any fuel locks at all? Showing A01 errors for me for all locks, choppers or local.

    • BJReplay on 29/09/2024 - 13:31

      I was getting A01s on Mrs BJReplays account. She had linked Velocity, so unlinked.

      Set up new account, linked velocity on that, and golden. But see my post at the end of the thread - I think it's game over.

  • Mahakaal on 27/09/2024 - 20:50

    I have just locked the interstate fuel on 2 of my id’s through geo port Iphone 15 pro max ios 18

    Step 1 download the geo port windows
    Step 2 connect the phone to laptop bia usb and make sure you connected to wifi before connecting to geo port

    Step 3 select the device and select the fuel mode as well

    Step 4 connect device
    Step 5 select fuel type and simulate the location
    Step 6 open the 7elevn app and search for the fuel( if you will try to lock it here it will give you the a01error so only search the fuel and leave the 7 eleven app as it is

    Step 6 disconnect the device from geo port
    Step 7 go back to the 7 elevn app and hit on lock the fuel price and it will lock it

    Step 8 connect the phone again to geo port to stop the location
    Step 9 wait 2-3 days before filling the patrol if you do it next day or the same day your account will get locked

      Have you redeemed successfully with these steps? Some times the account bans happen at point of redemption not when locking.

        Lock, fill, scan, fail and pay full price.
        Just locking in doesn't mean you are successful.

      • Mahakaal on 04/10/2024 - 20:32

        Yes i have just filled it works for me

    • Techefy on 30/09/2024 - 22:46

      Didnt you want to use a vpn for interstate locking!?

  • BJReplay on 29/09/2024 - 14:24

    I think it's game over (at least for Android, at least on physical phones without a SIM) because the app insists on precise location - which include WiFi for location information - and it can use this to know when the GPS location doesn't match WiFi information.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm getting consistent A01s when I used to be able to lock on an old device that I run at home on WiFi.

    • Techefy on 29/09/2024 - 15:07

      Yes same for me, happening on iPhone. I used to set fake location, then search for fuel on app, turn off fake location, and then press the fuel lock button on app to do the fuel locking. But this is no longer working, getting A01 error when pressing the lock button. Tried with a newly created account as well - same result.

    • cliff-rock on 29/10/2024 - 21:33

      Connect to (another) phone's hotspot instead of home wifi.

      • BJReplay on 29/10/2024 - 22:52

        Connect to (another) phone's hotspot instead of home wifi.

        Tried that - still getting A01s

      • akyeeeahdude on 04/11/2024 - 07:57

        Legend - thank you! I just started getting A01 errors, this morning (was fine last week). I use an iPad connected to home wifi so I connected to my phone's hotspot instead and it worked. Locking same state (about 45 min away).

  • Harry G on 29/09/2024 - 22:06

    Can someone assist please:
    I have been locking in for the past while using ifakelocation for my old iphone however, i have had to purchase a new iphone and a message pops up on ifake saying it doesn't support my ios version. Any ideas how I can resolve this or is there another chopper I should be using?

        Thanks, I’ll try with a vpn. I’m getting a01 errors when not using a vpn. Could you simply put the steps you follow. What I used to do is set fake location, then search for fuel on app, turn off fake location, and then press the fuel lock button on app to do the fuel locking. But this is no longer working, getting A01 error when pressing the lock button. Tried with a newly created account as well - same result.

          Could you simply put the steps you follow.

          I only lock in my home state, so don't use a VPN.

          I just have my iphone running off my home network, connect it via USB to the PC and change my location. Never had an issue…

          I also make sure the 7/11 app is not running in background before I change location, or after I change location back again (just in case they track sudden location changes). I also make sure I don't open the 7/11 app until a reasonable time has passed that would have allowed me to travel the distance between locations.

          • OhNoUShiz on 01/10/2024 - 16:03

            @jv: Is it no longer safe to lock interstate? Petrol price seems to be dropping so interstate price is much cheaper and within the 25 cents limit.

            • jv on 01/10/2024 - 16:18
              -1

              @OhNoUShiz: With the 25c limit, it is now almost unnecessary to lock interstate, so why bother risking it?

              Also, I find Coles Express often cheaper when prices jump up, when you take into account the 8c flybuys/AFL app discounts.

    Interstate chopper still works for me on iPhone with VPN and iFakeLocation. Sometimes I'll get the A01 Error, but then I'll just login to one of my other 4 accounts and it will work fine. Next time, the other account that didn't work will work, so I'm not sure what the go is…

            • ThaiChiMeatball on 15/10/2024 - 17:23

              @Techefy: I used iPhone with iAnyGo, WiFi off and VPN on for Sydney. Using ProtonVPN and it worked ok. Lower comments seem to indicate Proton might not work anymore but that's a problem for the next time I need to lock in.

              Didn't end up trying the emulation route as I didn't need to.

    • sween64 on 20/10/2024 - 14:26

      Followed these steps (well iFL instead of GeoPort) and couldn't get it work for an interstate log in. I suspect 7-Eleven was blocking NordVPN. I was able to lock a fake location within my home state (Victoria) and redeem.

  • Vavoom on 10/10/2024 - 21:22

    Was getting Error A01 when having done in-state fuel locks for months.

    Was gettting Error A01 on all ProtonVPN servers from the cheapest state, worked going through a private VPN in that state. iOS 18.0.1 non-jailbroken, location set using GeoPort on Mac

    Realised too late that the 7/11 I went to was charging 230.9 (!) for U98 so even with 25 cent discount I paid heaps more than the cheapest non-7/11 U98 price of 179.9 in the area. Will be checking PetrolSpy more carefully in future now the discount is limited to 25c per litre.

    • Techefy on 14/10/2024 - 23:44

      Could you please summarize the steps that you followed, I tried all the above mentioned methods and still getting the A01 error. Created a new account with VPN on for the state that I wanted to lock the fuel and it was an immediate ban. Thank you

      • y on 15/10/2024 - 08:33

        They have banned lots of known VPN IPs. It worked for me using a VPN server I set up myself which is not one of the well-known VPN providers like Proton, Nord etc.

            @Techefy: Unfortunately I was only able to set up vpn server in Sydney region since they have data centre there. I’m not sure if it’s possible to set up for other state sorry

        • felixfktung on 11/11/2024 - 10:55

          I managed to set up the vpn via aws. On aws do you leave the instance running after fuel lock?
          The aws free tier only allows 750 hours per month.

          The problem I have is that if I stop and restart the same aws instance after fuel lock, I cant reconnect to openvpn.

          • jimmyV on 11/11/2024 - 13:47

            @felixfktung: depends how frequent you need to use the vpn. for me i just spin up a instance and delete when i'm done as i'm not in free trial. since you are in trial i think it's okay to keep it running but make sure to check the billing portal if you are not getting any additional charges.

            i think when you stop and start the instance it assigns a new ip. As a result you have start over from setting up the openvpn server in step 2. There's definitely a way to fix that i just haven't done more digging.

            • felixfktung on 11/11/2024 - 19:36

              @jimmyV: I only use this vpn once a week to lock fuel in NSW.
              That is exactly my issue. Each time I restart the instance, a new ip is allocated to it. I then need to reconfigure the server in order to connect to the vpn.
              I’ve watched numerous YouTube videos on how to setup openvpn using aws. But none of them address this issue I have.

            • jimmyV on 11/11/2024 - 22:08

              @jimmyV: Yeah it’s frustrating but you can have a look at the ansible/terraform playbooks to automate the process so you don’t have to manually create and set up the box

              • felixfktung on 25/11/2024 - 10:19

                @jimmyV: Yesterday I tried to lock fuel using the openvpn Sydney server I have setup but got the A01 error. This was working a few days ago. Are you having much luck?

                  @felixfktung: Yeah i got the error too. seems like they figured it somehow and patched it. There's definitely some 7/11 goons spying on this post looking for any loopholes that they can patch afterwards.

          I've also updated the site so it now remembers your chosen region and fuel type.

          • Agret on 05/12/2024 - 13:00

            @vu: Thanks mate, working good now with the value change. This is going to sound kinda dumb but maybe you can put a text box as the value instead of just a label so you can type in what you have locked previously? Sometimes the fuel can go up a lot since my last lock and it makes it harder to locate a station, would also be good to have a way to hide all dots except green ones. Sorry if i'm asking too much of your time with this but I do appreciate your site.

    How to unhide Developer Mode on iOS 18

    If for any reason, you cannot see the Developer Mode option on your iPhone, follow these steps.

    I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and could not see the Developer Mode toggle in Privacy & Security.
    Apple had it 'hidden' for whatever reason, or maybe there is another setting that it depends on. (I don't have 2FA on my iCloud account)

    I installed Tenorshare iFoneCare > connected iPhone to PC > select More Tools on iFoneCare > Turn on.
    This will enable the Developer Mode option to show on iPhone. Then you can proceed from your iPhone and turn in On.

    Hope it helps someone !!

    I see lots of people with iOS working but is anyone on Android still getting this to work, even if just same state?
    I am still getting A01 error but if anyone on Android can tell me it is working I want to start fresh and try their method.

      It's working, but not in a massively reliable way.

      I had to re-build my image recently, roughly the sequence of steps:

      1. Follow this base guide to get an image up and running https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/678629?page=21#comment-132…
      2. Make sure to bake in Magisk by adding "FAKEBOOTIMG" at the appropriate step in "./rootAVD.sh whatever-your-path-may-be/ramdisk.img FAKEBOOTIMG"
      3. Install 7-eleven app
      4. open magisk, will update & reboot a couple of times
      5. in Magisk settings,
        - enable "Hide magisk app" (will restart)
        - enable zygisk
        - enable denylist (do not enforce!)
        - add 7-11 to denylist
      6. in magisk modules, install
        - zygisk assistant
      7. Location spoofing (no need to do the old dev mock location thing)
        - install https://github.com/Android1500/GpsSetter and open it, it will display "Xposed whatever error"
        - open lsposed, enable com.android1500.gpssetter module
        - this should stop 7-11 complaining about fake location
        - https://github.com/ThePieMonster/HideMockLocation/releases/d… & enable in lsposed
      8. get app list detector
      9. Install https://github.com/Dr-TSNG/Hide-My-Applist/releases
        • restart to enable service
        • go to apps, select 7-11 and applist detector, keep mode as "blacklist"
        • create a blacklist with those two
        • run app detection test to see that it's all green ticks

      This should make it work. Sometimes I get A01, and it needs cold reboot, dunno why.

        Would this work with interstate locks or just same state

        • smartialarts on 06/11/2024 - 11:22

          Why don't you try and tell us?

          • akay0402 on 12/11/2024 - 12:01

            @smartialarts: Tried doing the above steps, but couldn't get it to work. Although I didn't receive the A01 error. I got Price lock may not be available in your area.

            Some of the steps I'm not sure about

            1. in Magisk settings,
              • enable denylist (there's no option for this)
              • enforce denylist (turned off)
            2. Install Hide-My-Applist
              • go to apps, select 7-11 and applist detector, keep mode as "blacklist" - Couldn't see an option for mode.

            If you could post screenshots for these if you can that would be appreciated

            • smartialarts on 12/11/2024 - 17:15

              @akay0402: Yeah you're right, probs no need to "enable denylist".

              Screenshots https://imgur.com/a/pKw6C15

              For "Install Hide-My-Applist: go to apps, select 7-11 and applist detector, keep mode as "blacklist" - Couldn't see an option for mode."
              do this:
              1) Open "Hide my app" app
              2) Go to "App manage"
              3) Select app in question
              4) Click "Enable hide"

              Then in "Template manage" from main menu create a new blacklist template and add 7-11 app and applist detector (both need to be enabled first via "App mange"

              Hope this helps

              @akay0402: For "not available" error make sure you pressed "play" button in GPS Setter - sometimes have to move the pin a little randomly from Refinery.fyi-supplied one. I wonder if 7-11 started tracking & rejecting exact coord matches based on the refinery.fyi data…

              • akay0402 on 13/11/2024 - 22:28

                @smartialarts: Unfortunately still no joy.

                  @akay0402: Did you try cold boot after everything is set up? To do that, shut down the emulator, click on … next to the emulator in the list of devices and select "Cold boot"

                  • smartialarts on 15/11/2024 - 16:47

                    @smartialarts: Just to clarify, this is the process that works for me:

                    1. Start emulator, set location in GPS setter
                    2. For shits and goggles see if price lock works in 7-11 app, but it is likely not going to
                    3. Quit emulator not saving state
                    4. Click … select cold boot
                    5. Open 7-11 app, lock should work

        Could you make a YouTube video on these steps…
