Device: Onyx Boox Note Air 3 C
Debloated my AirNote4C to much

Hey Party people!

I made a mistake after rooting my AirNote 4C with removing bloatwear. I made an error in a script and remove all apps that have onyx in them with:

Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 NAME.OF.APP
I did create a backup on my live boot machine but forgot to copy it off. I do have the unpached `boot_a` and `boot_b` partitions backed up but I don't think the apps I deleted are part of the boot files. Now, the good news is I have a working rooted tablet but some things don't work. For example, when I try to change refresh setting the UI crashes.

I tried two things to restore the tablet (reset it)

1. I tried manually applying a firmware upgrade by downloading the latest `update.upx` and running:

Code:
adb shell am start -a onyx.settings.action.firmware
But I get (because the app is gone):

Code:
Starting: Intent { act=onyx.settings.action.firmware }
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=onyx.settings.action.firmware flg=0x10000000 }
2. I tried the enter recovery mode by holding down the power button, waiting, releasing and the pressing it 5 times that I see floating arround but the tablet just keeps rebooting as long as I keep pressing it.

Now, the two fixes I can think of are:

1. I reflash the tablet with the stock firmware, but I don't know how to do that
2. Get someone to give me a copy of the `onyx.settings.action.firmware`. That should be enough for me to initiate a firmware update which might also restore the other apps.

Other ideas are welcomee
