I'm curious as to the purpose of rooting a Boyue Likebook.
The Mars I have allows turning on / off the Google Framework. Only needed for PlayStore & Google Playbooks so far.
The Playstore Android apps or other Android apps that don't work, don't work because it's eink. Rooting won't help that.

An Android APK can be installed by direct download using the supplied browser, or USB copy, or copy via SD-Card. Then they install. Such as KOReader which isn't (or wasn't) on the Playstore.

Normally I don't have WiFi or BT on.

Any mainstream Android phone seems less private.

Kindle App calls "home" even if not run. KoReader, Libby, Borrowbox, K9-email, Lichess, Kobo app and Musicolet all work without the Google Framework.
