Hello all,

Accidentally I've chosen to do a stylus calibration then pointed and clicked at random places on screen. Result: the stylus is now useless. I cannot point and click on anything on screen. I cannot navigate through the Android GUI with the only four hardware buttons either.

So.. how could I reset the calibration data? How could I start a new stylus calibration process without using the stylus?

Things I tried:

1) www.onyx-boox.com support. Useless. They suggested me to navigate to privacy -> clear data. I cannot do that with a messed up stylus calibration.

2) pressing POWER + Back button and doing a full factory and cache reset. It won't reset stylus calibration.

3) read this thread where an M96 user had exactly my same problem and tried the same things as I did. Booxtor suggest him to download a firmware and use MFG Tool to reset the device and that worked. But I have no full firmware image for my Onyx Boox MAX.

I refuse to believe my 700 USD device has been rendered useless because of a miscalibration.. but well..

Any help will be greately appreciated!
