Hi there,
puhh, what a journey this thread is
I just came to read about "how to root the tab ultra", and ended up in a syncing nightmare, aber vom Feinsten!
I really needed to reread several posts, and look up into google, to get a grasp of what you guys are talking about ...
Just bought an boox ultra c, and now Im gathering all the information, to make myself a step by step tutorial. I did this for my samsung, and it worked well, BUT there was a detailed thread on XDA.

No, quite the opposite. As mentioned in this thread it can be rooted without a problem. You can easily root it by downloading the boot image in EDL mode and then root it using magisk. I used the loader

Oh man, I wish I could say that. I do not even know, wth EDL is
But if you say the ultra c can be rooted like the ultra, then I would give it a try.
The best I found so far is this from the Note Air 2
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=349397
can I just take this as an example, and juse those tools? Im just a bit afraid, that there is another Chip or sh like that, and therefore other drivers/tools may be needed.
I better not brick my new device, so I want to be sure everything would be OK.
When flashing my phone back then (maybe 5 years ago) I read everything I could find, and made several backups to cover my ass if I messed up. This worked great, and I flashed several devices (all samsungs). But here, I dont know how to even start, because all I needed back then, was Odin and TWRP
Well, in general I know the order, but the steps I need to research (which is fun)
But like I said, need the confirmation, that the way is correct, and the tools also the proper ones. would be very glad, if you can fly an eye over and warn me before Ill make a huge mistake?
There's a lot of commonality between recent models of Onyx.
Rooting of them is pretty much all the same. There are explicit tutorials up already.
1. Enable ADB on your device (done, that was easy
)
2. Get a copy of the boot image, either:
..a. Download an update and decrypt it (no update available yet)
..b. Use EDL mode to extract the boot image from your device (have a tut 4 reading)
3. Install Magisk.apk (26.1 works?)
4. Have Magisk process your boot image (idk, will find a tutorial)
5. Replace your boot image, either:
..a. fastboot flash boot magisk.img (iirc need sdk and console 4 this,will find a tutorial)
..b. In a rooted recovery, dd if=magisk.img of=/dev/block/by-name/boot
c. Use EDL mode to write the magisk image (idk, will find a tutorial)
And before this, I need to find out, how to make a backup.
BUT like I said, before I finally start digging in, I want to find out, if it is even possible to root the Ultra C? And you guys seem the right ppl to ask...
Thanks in advance for any hint in the right direction.
