Go6 Stuck in a boot loop while trying to root with magisk

[st_h_st]

Hi, I tried to flash magisk patched boot file to Boox Go6, like this:

 1266  edl w boot_a magisk_patched-28102_0h01P.img
 1267  edl w vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
 1268  edl reset

Now I'm stuck in a boot loop.

With EDL-Cable I'm able to go back to EDL Mode, but even flashing the original boot.img leaves me in a boot loop?

What could I do now?

Thanks!

The first thing with a "boot loop" is to determine what kind it is.
Do you get the boot animation of skating elephants or whatever?
Did you enable ADB already? Can you connect to ADB in the time that the animation is running?
When you say "original" do you mean something that came directly off your device or only what you think was on there before?

It just read "boox" for like 5 to 10 seconds, than it restarts. No moving elephants. No ADB during that time (I activated USB debugging before).

I flashed the boot.img from the decoded update.zip, which I think was on there before.

I have no other Backup, sadly.

Pushing the power button five times while it boots might get you to recovery.

If not, you can flash a little file to misc using EDL that will get you to recovery.
You will need an EDL cable to get you to EDL.

From recovery you can adb sideload update.zip.
That's the decrypted Go6 update.

Model:  Go6 (English)

I hadn't noticed that there was a new-ish update.

Pushing the Power button 5 times didn´t work.

I´ve got an EDL-Cable, I can get to EDL mode

flashing a little file to misc (edl w misc file) didn´t bring me to recovery, always restarting.

I messed it up pretty good..

Do I have more options?

Um, I meant the file "misc-recovery", not just a random file.

That worked, partielly:

Now I can actually go to recovery and reach the Go6 with adb, but then adb sideload fails as follows..

> adb devices
List of devices attached
6xxxxxxx       device

> adb sideload update.zip
adb: sideload connection failed: closed
adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...
adb: pre-KitKat sideload connection failed: closed

With

adb shell

start autoupdate

I was able to connect a flash drive to the Go6 - but it says partition type unknown, which layout on the flash drive is needed?

I thought sda1 should be FAT32, but this doesn´t work..

Got it working with vfat after all, now Update is installing...

Worked, now I'm back, System is starting up and even all the files are there

Thanks a great lot!

Glad you got it back to a working state and recovered all your files.

Which edl cable did you use?
