I am still trying some things to get the Notepad working, and perhaps should start a separate thread on this issue since the other models share firmware and may have more members familiar with this problem.

Here is what I've tried since my last post:

At the start I got one page to flash for a fraction of a second when choosing from the page thumbnails. Then nothing.

I cleared the data under App/Storage for both Boyue OS and File Manager, and then rebooted. After I did this, instead of that single page flashing for a fraction of a second, it stayed on the screen for about a full second before disappearing. It got my hopes up for a moment.

I repeated the process. This time I tried a different old note than any of the ones I had been trying previously, and after tapping the page selection option, I tapped on the last page (page 8) and this time my writing stayed on the screen and did not disappear. I was giddy! But then I got cocky and decided to add a new 9th page and write something on it. I did, and when I closed the note, it got stuck saving for a couple minutes. When it finally closed, I reopened it and none of the pages would display. I chose the page selection option, chose the 9th page I had just added and then deleted it. When that page was deleted, it went back to displaying page 8... but I could not display any other pages. After these brief few moments of optimism, I am back to blank screen whenever I open a note.

I am wondering if the problem might be because I failed to clear my data before upgrading? Does anybody think it is worthwhile to add the Update.zip file for this current new firmware to Root again, this time clear the App data for Boyue OS and File Manager and then reinstall the firmware? Or is that likely just a waste of time because it's unnecessary to clear data before upgrading firmware, even when you are jumping releases? I don't have a lot of experience with Android devices.
