Well seems like I at least partly bricked my new Onyx Boox 3.I rooted it via magisk, installed AFWall+ to not let it communicating anymore and all worked fine till that point.
Then I uninstalled the Boox Email app. (wanted to get rid of some bloatware).

After I rebooted my device it is now in stuck on the Onyx Logo Screen. I
cannot access adb but can access it via

Code:

fastboot devices

and

Code:

fastboot boot magisk_patched-2400_XYZ.img

seems to do something (rebooting, 3 times flashing screen) but still stays in fastboot loop. Is there some way to flash the Update.upx or a original rom file (dont have one though) on it or someway to recover it, of course stupid me has no backup.

Thank you in advance and sorry for being stupid enough to brick my new device.

PS: I also was not able so far to get into recovery mode. and my device came without the onyx case... so I guess that might be a problem, since I read that you need the case closing to actually do something in recovery mode.
