Magisk after rooting in EDL just refuses to move past the splash screen and everyone github is like use Apatch, Apatch superuser section doesnt work but it installs completely.

Go to the bootloader (fastboot):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot get_unlock_ability
fastboot reboot
If it's using the new stuff, the first will work.
If it's using the old stuff, the second will work.

My apologies, can you elaborate on what you mean by new stuff, do you mean new stuff as in new with the manufacturer or new with the software or kernel version and first being magisk and apatch being second.

My method is
https://github.com/jdkruzr/BooxPalma2RootGuide

do I follow this guide first and then your instruction second?

I'm not the smartest crayon in the knife drawer but I'm trying my best to understand. My intention is to debloat my device and limit its interactions on the internet. I have magisk patched boots on standby.

Thank you Renate

I think that's all basically right.
I don't know if something has changed with updates.
It's a question of locking and verifying.

Which is why I asked you to do a quick experiment above.

i flashed the patched boots from magisk as said the magisk app just hangs. I rebooted into fastboot using adb as you requested but the device is not being read as anything and stuck with the boot logo on screen. ./fastboot devices yields no results.

edit: nevermind my windows machine just doesn't recognize fastboot for this and it does on my fedora system

y'know what when i did this, I awaited a response but then had to go about my day and I didnt save the results of the first command but everything said "OK" at the end of it. sorry, like I said Its been a bit since i participated in forum and done anything like this in a bit, it didnt cross my mind at all to make sure to save the results before I left.

Thank you for your guidance, if you wish to continue trouble shooting, then feel free, if not disregard.

Does anyone have any other location that can provide any assistance that is a bit nicer and clearer. I'll me much appreciative and gracious for the help because I just want to be able to debloat my boox thoroughly and im currently dealing with incompatibility with magisk.

Would I have better luck with reddit? I've been lurking on this forum for a bit and was excited when i got my boox for christmas. The previous individual who's the backbone of this forum has decline to assist.

It is probably bug in combination with Onyx firmware 4.1 and Magisk.

If even APatch does not work for you, there is something strange.
I have Palma on 4.1.1 and Magisk works without issues. I would expect I will have same issues since software should be similar.

Can you try to enable Magisk to run in background? On Note Air series menu will be probably little different.

Magisk (presshold)> Optimize>Others>Stay active in the background

I'm just reading out my steps cause I'm very new with this device. But enabling this had no effect on it.
