Does anyone know if the device can be rooted ? I know it's pretty early but it's either that or I give it back in the 14 days... I wonder if this protocole is workable for the XL : http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=245888 |
The root app used for the Boyue readers is Root Master 1.3.6. You can probably just try it to see if it works. All the instructions for the app say to press the purple button at the end, but you can't tell which one it is on eink. Here's instructions telling you the correct button :
Quote:
Once installed, open up the app and press the Middle button with the word “ROOT” in it. The device will now check your Android version and whether your device is rootable, keep in mind that*MasterRoot APK only works on*Android 4.1.x – 4.3.x*
If you device is rootable, it will show a popup, hit the button “root”*
Once it is done loading, a pop up will appear showing a red and purple button, this only appears once the device has been rooted so if you got this far, you have done so successfully. It is*very important you choose the purple button - button on the right.
Once this has been done the app will install*Superuser and SuperSU to manage apps on the device, these apps do require root access. We recommend you restart the device once everything is done.
