To those who are struggling to understand the process like me before, here is a little explanation:
Code:
# Rooting works by patching the boot.img firmware partition with magisk
# To obtain (and flash) the boot.img we extract it directly from the device using EDL mode and a specific loader
# The custom loader can be found here: https://github.com/bkerler/Loaders/issues/97
# Extract boot.img via edl
edl --loader=sm6225.bin r boot_a boot.img
# Patch the extracted boot.img with magisk, the usual way
# Flash the patched image
edl --loader=sm6225.bin w boot_a $HOME/Downloads/tmp_boox/magisk_patched-boot.img
I also have a question, if anyone can help: when flashing I actually flash to both slots A and B, as just A does not seem to be enough.
I don't have great experience with android, is this how it supposed to be or do I miss a step in the process ?
PS: the commands I gave above may vary depending on your OS etc, its more to describe the process. |
Can you please expand a little bit the stepts to perfom on Boox Go Color 7. I am new to this. I got magisk v23, should I install it on the tablet? As you know Developer Options can't be enabled. I am able to manage device via USB. I got edl, zadig and the newest loader?
My goal is to replace the launcher. It appears that on the latest firmware this thing is irreplaceable. I tried with hidden android settings, but still I can't set it to "Simple Ink Launcher". Removing ksync breaks their loader and library...
