The link I posted is a link from the official Chinese onyx forum. I assumed the download link would not require a password but I guess I was wrong.

Here's the screen shot of the official onyx forum in Chinese

This is not a trick

*sigh* That's really a problem with Onyx's ... unconventional ... way of firmware distributions.
I don't see a way to verify the origin of the firmware image... a forum is open to anyone... *shrug* As Booxtor mentioned, it is possible to add files to the archive. I thereby assume that it would be possible to override some contents of the archive... In this case basically everyone could just take e.g., an old 1.6 fw image (with unsatisfying calibration), add some files and label it 1.7 RC whatever. (Did someone check how easy it is to modify the 'about' information with - say - a hex editor?)

Short of Booxtor and the official Onyx _website_ (not forum), I don't see trustworthy sources... and the fun part is that probably most users wouldn't even notice malware running in the background .

By no means I want to say that this fw image is malicious, but the distribution strategy effectively creates... opportunities .

I understand what you mean. The firmware was released by the moderator on the Onyx international forum. The announcement was made on the forum in a sticky days/week before the the firmware was available. When the firmware was available the link appeared in the sticky. Since this is not the final build of 1.7, onyx may have just released it domestically. The firmware is in zip format but you do not need to unzip the file to upgrade. All you need to do is load the zip file onto an SD card. Perhaps Booxtor can reach out to Onyx in china and inquire about update firmware 1.7 20120405.zip.

Do I need to create an account for this? I tried to upload without signing in and it keeps on uploading

too late now, I've already installed the firmware. Device is running okay but I guess in a few weeks Booxtor may have a new firmware.
