I'm currently on firmware 3.0 and trying to access my bootloader to finally root. I'm getting a new eink device so I can risk bricking this one. I am hesitant to update to the latest firmware because I know Onyx has done some updates to remove rooting methods.
I have tried two ways to get to the bootloader, one through adb (adb reboot bootloader), and one through recovery (booting to recovery in the method in the OP, and then selecting boot to bootloader). Either way I do it, the device ends up being frozen. I'm not sure if this process is supposed to take a while and I should just wait. I am able to hold the power button to turn off and get back into the standard OS with no issues.
Am I somehow missing a step? Do I need to unlock the bootloader first before booting into it? And how do I do that? Appreciate the help from other folks on the forum.
This is all with the Max 3 device. I'm assuming this is still the best root method as we get TWRP.
