OK, I can't really test the candidate-765 here. My B4 starts to secure  
boot (hold the X gamepad down), shows an SD card, then flashes what  
looks like a USB key in red a few times, then a wireless symbol,  
before telling me "activation lease not found - no se encontrò  
elpermiso de activiòn - permis d'activation introuvable". Shutting  
down faster than I can type the text into this email :-)

This is very probably as expected, as I'm a developer and have never  
activated an XO lease in any way, shape, or form. Is there a way I can  
get a lease so I can test this side of things (just curious)? I guess  
I'd need a local school server set-up.

Booting in insecure mode was no problem, seemed to work just like what  
I had running before in 765 with the .toc and .usb images from pilgrim.
