In a nutshell you need to install rockchip driver and download the RKDevTool to flash boot.img onto your Note Pro.
If you want to try the magisk method please get a backup your boot.img in advance or you may get your device into an unbootable state. I got no luck on the Magisk method but I eventually got my device rooted. |
I'm so surprised to see that my Onyx Nova still has hope.
What happened was that I managed to root my Nova with Desktop version KingRoot. Then I thought I was more used to SuperSU, so I switched to SuperSU. When I tried to install Magisk to replace SuperSU, patching boot part was done, and after the reboot, the device can only get to Onyx System Recovery, with a menu of Reboot to bootloader, Reboot system, Apply Update from ADB, Apply Update from SDCARD etc.. Apparently rebooting system can only get me back to the same menu, and rebooting to bootloader would just lead to a freezing message "Rebooting to bootloader".
I didn't have the update package on the SDCARD (no external card for this machine), so I can only try Update from ADB. After this one was chosen, "ADB devices" can show me the device, yet commands like "ADB list" didn't work and I haven't learned other commands yet. The system was V3.0 before all this, yet I've tried the same and earlier firmware from both
www.boox.com/downloads/ and
http://cn.boox.com/, and none of them worked. After applied "adb sideload filename" I got only "footer is wrong" and "signature verification failed". I can read Chinese and the machine was bought when I visited mainland China. What confused me was that, which package should I use to update from ADB to save my Nova?
After reading this post, I start to wonder, is it possible for me to flash the unscripted image by RKDevTool? @winstonma You referred to your blog and mentioned that you've dumped the images from your Nova. Is it possible that I can flash the image from your device? Does it matter if your machine is not China version (it could be Europe or Russia version)? Thank you guys very much. Looking forward to more recommendations/comments.
