Please take care of that you have the same build before flashing boot image. On firmware v3.1 boot.img was not compatible between different builds. Users got finger touch problems.

Disclaimer:
** I am not responsible for any damage to your device. Please take care of your actions. Flashing not suitable images to partitions can brick your device. **

Edit 2021/03/18: I have added Magisk boot image for Max Lumi v. 3.1. Updating a rooted Max Lumi over the air is working. After installing a (full) firmware update you have to flash the patched boot image again.

Steps to install:
[1] Current firmware version of Max Lumi is 3.1. Attached bootimage is not suitable for other Boox devices!
[2] Download and install Magisk Manager on Max Lumi. Edit: current name is Magisk.
[3] Do you have installed adb, fastboot and USB drivers on your computer? 15 seconds ADB installer for Windows.
[4] Enable usb debugging on your Max Lumi. See Settings/Applications. Plug Max Lumi into your computer, accept fingerprint message and run in command line to check connection.
Code:
adb devices
[5] start a bootloader session
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your Max Lumi will reboot and you will see the Onyx logo on screen. That's normal.
[5] The bootloader of Max Lumi is unlocked by default. That's nice. Thanks Onyx. You can check it with:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
[6] flash patched bootimage
Code:
fastboot flash boot your_patched_boot.img
Then your Max Lumi reboots by itself. Otherwise type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
For testing without risk, booting instead of flashing boot.img is safer option.
Code:
fastboot boot Max_Lumi_v3.0.Magisk.21.2.boot.img
[7] Start Magisk Manager and use "direct install" method to install boot image with latest magisk version.

Sample terminal session:
Code:
C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Max Lumi>adb devices
List of devices attached
e3b2a8ed        device


C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Max Lumi>adb reboot bootloader

C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Max Lumi>fastboot flashing unlock
...
FAILED (remote:         Device already : unlocked!)
finished. total time: 0.004s

C:\Users\Leo\Desktop\Max Lumi>fastboot boot Max_Lumi_v3.0.Magisk.21.2.boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...

Further reading:
It's a non standard installation of Magisk, because Max Lumi has a bootimage without ramdisk but loads this ramdisk when it is patched to bootimage.
decrypt Boox Update Upx, to get a boot image for your Boox device of encrypted firmware update.

Booting into recovery mode: (just in case you need it)
[1] With pressed home button connect your turned off Max Lumi with USB C to a charger.
[2] You get the Onyx splash boot screen.
[3] Release the home button.
[4] LED next to power button is blue. Recovery mode starts.
[5] Select option in recovery mode with home button. Execute option with power button.

Removing bootloop caused by broken Magisk module:
Code:
adb shell
magisk --remove-modules

Please use the attached files Max_Lumi_v3.1.original.boot.img.zip and Max_Lumi_v3.1.Magisk.22.0.boot.img.zip only for firmware 3.1_ad716f8.
It is not compatible with other 3.1.x builds like 3.1_0631e26 or 3.1_a207066. Otherwise you will get severe finger touch problems aka not working!
