Hey all, joining the club of people who bricked their Go 7 trying to root it and thought I'd add to the discussion. Read through this thread and the BooxPalma2RootGuide issue #9 — I believe that my situation is almost identical to jd27's and Alfaa's.
Device: Go 7 (monochrome/B&W)
HWID: 0013f0e1 / product: lito / variant: SM_ EMMC
Serial: ec9bf62
Firmware: 4.1.1
What I did:
1. Entered EDL via adb reboot edl
2. Used temblast's edl.exe with the SM_BITRA loader (0000000000000000_bdaf51b59ba21d8a_fhprg.bin), confirmed working, got partition table, HWID matched
3. Dumped boot_a and boot_b (have originals backed up)
4. Sideloaded Magisk, patched both boot images
5. Flashed patched images to boot_a and boot_b via EDL
6. Device now stuck on Boox logo, will not boot to Android
Current state:
- Device reliably enters fastboot (18d1:d00d, shows as "Android" in Device Manager)
- I can communicate with fastboot from WSL (Ubuntu) via usbipd, fastboot devices returns ec9bf62 fastboot
- Windows fastboot.exe does NOT see the device despite correct VID/PID and WinUSB driver installed via Zadig. Tried WinUSB, libusbK, Google USB driver, no dice.
- Cannot get into EDL from fastboot. Tried fastboot oem edl, fastboot reboot edl, fastpwn oem edl, all fail with "unknown command"
- Bootloader is locked (unlocked:no), secure:no
- All write commands fail: fastboot flash, fastboot boot, fastboot set_active, fastboot flashing unlock, all "unknown command"
- fastboot reboot recovery reports OKAY but device loops back to fastboot, tried page-turn button combos to force EDL, no luck
fastboot getvar all highlights:
unlocked:no
secure:no
current-slot:a
slot-retry-count:a:6
slot-unbootable:a:yes
slot-successful:a:yes
slot-retry-count:b:0
slot-unbootable:b:no
slot-successful:b:no
product:lito
variant:SM_ EMMC
kernel:uefi
I ordered an EDL cable that should arrive later today or tomorrow then I will attempt recovery.
