I had a Reliance communications 4G wipod which had become a paperweight after the company shut operations. Even DC unlocker wasn't supporting its unlocking since the device doesn't ask for unlock code on inserting another operator's sim just showed an error of wrong sim. Today I managed to unlock it with the help of a person who did it remotely through some firmware tweak and it now supports any operator's 4G sim, working well with Jio now.

@Esmail bro,
I don't khow that would be legal or not but since they have stopped selling the device i don't think anything much they will do and even operations i believe people having same device still as paperweight can get benefit of the tweak.
You should take a dump of the firmware (if feasible) and share it through some cloud site through linking here.

The unlock is IMEI specific and can be done only by a trained professional for individual devices. The whole user interface is still the same as that of the original wipod with the reliance skin and branding but it now shows signals with any sim. I can share the contact of the person who did the unlocking for me, it cost 400 which does seem slightly high but still I feel its better to have an unlocked wipod than a locked jiofi and the ZTE build quality is also superior to the current jiofi devices.
