Just can't imagine that Max users can have TWRP!

I own a Nova, and a few days ago, I tried to root it with KingRoot, and then switched to SuperSU. I tried to install Magisk and the boot image was patched, and it failed to boot into system. I thought that Magisk doesn't work for Onyx devices, yet apparently it doesn't work for Nova only. I'm still struggling with how to fix the soft brick.

Go to https://github.com/Hagb/decryptBooxUpdateUpx, clone/download the repository. Download update.upx from onyx website. Use this tool to decrypt the update. Flash boot.img from the decrypted update file, hopefully fixes your soft brick. You can use that boot.img to sign it with magisk and then flash it. I don't know where you get that Nova devices can't use magisk. Mine (Nova 2) works normally.

Great! I'll give it a try! Thanks a lot.

By the way, just want to confirm, by flashing boot.img, do you use RKDevTool? Thanks a lot.

I used fastboot.

From the first post in this thread:
Quote:
To boot into recovery mode:
Turn your device completely off (make sure your not plugged in to charger), then hold the home button, then while holding the home button plug your device into charger... wait until you see splash screen and release home button

In my case, I couldn't boot into system anymore. I'm stuck at Onyx System Recovery. Choosing Power Off would lead to a freezing message "Shutting Down". I couldn't get to the complete off it seems. By complete off, I mean a total blank screen. Did I miss anything here?

No, I assumed you can just power off the device. But since you're stuck in Onyx System Recovery, you can probably just chose reboot to bootloader, unless I'm missing something. There's no indication it's in fastboot mode though, you should just assume it is and do something like `fastboot devices` to check if your computer sees it.

Yes, it seems that rebooting to bootload is working. I mean when it shows reboointg to bootloader, through RKDevTool, it shows a loader device. Yest fastboot devices doesn't show anything. fastboot reboot yields only "waiting for devices."

what should i do?
why would you assume that note 2 has the same chip as max? why would you flash an image intended for boox max onto a different device?

Yes, I know. Isn't Onyx Nova a Rockchip device? Can we flash boot.img using RKDevTool? Thanks,

Does anyone know if this method would work with Nova 3?

Yup, that was reply to your question. I'd wait with flashing though, just do `fastboot boot magisk_patched.img` whenever you need it.
