Go 7 bootloop

gleboss · 03-07-2026, 07:18 AM

Hi!

Yesterday I picked up my Onyx Boox Go 7 and noticed that the battery was completely drained. After charging it, the device no longer boots properly.

Current behavior:

It shows the BOOX logo
Then the loading animation with dots
After a short time the animation freezes and the device reboots
This repeats indefinitely (boot loop)

What I already tried:

Entered recovery mode
Wipe data / factory reset
Tried reinstalling the latest firmware using
Code:
```
adb sideload update.upx
```
The update fails with "signature verification failed"

Could you please suggest possible ways to recover the device?
I saw that you sometimes use custom recovery or EDL tools for BOOX devices and wondered if something similar could help here.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I would say battery is dead and you should replace it. Same thing happened to my android tablet and nothing could fix it.
