I've been having some issues with my Onyx Boox Poke 3. I won't get into the details, that's another story, but I was trying to factory reset the device from fastboot. Like a complete idiot, I ran a command without fully understanding what it did and ran the command

Code:

fastboot erase system

, which basically erased the system partition along with the OS. As it stands, only the "ONYX" screen is displayed and won't show anything else regardless if it's powered on or off.

I think I can restore, however I'm having trouble booting to the bootloader or recovery since the button the device has is a power button.

I found some instructions here for the Boox Note Air, which states to power of the device, then hold down the power button for 7 seconds until the blue light comes on, and then tap the power button 5 times. I've tried this about a dozen times, and can't get it to boot to recovery.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
