To everyone still stuck at the "device not found" error message,

I’ve found another solution to resolve the issue! At least for me it worked and maybe this can help someone else as well.

Try the following:
Start the command prompt (not via the shortcut in the adb folder, but via the start menu in windows or windows key + r, type "cmd" and press enter).
In the command line type: adb devices (enter)
Do you receive the following error message?
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
If you do, you might have the same problem that I had and the following steps could resolve the issue. It worked for me using Windows 10 and the M96 Universe (purchased from onyx-boox.com).

1. If you haven't already, download the adb package and the MFG tool (see first post in this thread). Unzip the folders and install the adb driver. Then restart your computer.
2. Make sure your M96 is in debugging mode and connect it to your computer. (Ignore the question about connecting your device for USB storage).
3. On your computer, open the command prompt via the start menu in windows (or windows key + r, type “cmd" and press enter). Then execute the following three commands, while the address C:/Users/Horio/Downloads/adb in the first two commands should be replaced by the path of your unzipped adb folder:

set ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="C:\Users\Horio\Downloads\a db" (enter)
set ANDROID_TOOLS="C:\Users\Horio\Downloads\adb" (enter)
set path=%path%;%ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS%;%ANDROID_TOOL S% (enter)

Important: Do NOT close the command prompt before completing all steps.

4. The problem should be fixed now. To check if it worked, type "adb devices" (without quotation marks) in the command prompt and press enter. You should now receive a list of attached devices.
5. Now go to the adb folder and start the command prompt via the shortcut in that folder. In the command line type: adb reboot download (enter).
(I still received the "device not found" error at this point. I just continued to the next step and it still worked!)
6. Start the MFG tool. It should now recognize your device! Press start and wait until the process is finished, then exit.
7. Now reboot your M96. It should now run on the Booxtor version and you can download and install the updates by Booxtor!

I hope this is helpful.
