Boyue T63/Shine update (sort of)

Thanks a lot! I didn't know about Tmall agents.

This answer was posted over two years ago, so I wouldn't count on it still selling that model.

Of course, thanks. I was wondering whether they already sell the new Onyx Max 2, but it seems they don't yet.

Onyx-Boox's Tmall store can be found here. And it gives top billing to the Max 2, which can be found here.

Incidentally, having tried and failed to set up a Tao Bao a/c to order my latest eReader (a Kepler Pro, also bought through an agent), I have since been able to set up, and successfully use, an account there. The process is however more than a tad bewildering, so might not be for everybody.

Thanks. Sadly, whith shipment and fees it costs more or less the same as if you buy it from European re-seller. All in all, the unique advantadge is you needn't wait til december's end to have it.

Thanks, but they are not selling it yet. In another post, someone said they maybe supply first their internal market. In Alibaba it's announced, but it seems to be a market B2B, not selling to all people.

The T63 runs Calibre Companion very well. I haven't used cool reader, but a number of other reader apps, like Moon and KOReader, work fine.

This device I charge read an hour put it on standby and the device is dead the next day

Hello,
it's two days that I'm struggling to run properly Google Play on my T63. I tried C67ML Carta 2 Images, both 1.7.4 and 1.8, but I'm not able to downloads apps through Google Play.
I can root the ereader and install Google Play with T6X Toolkit, but it seems that GoogleServiceFramework.apk crashes each time I boot.
I can login to Google Play but I cannot download app.
I tried to use a different version of GoogleServiceFramework.apk but I'm not able to install it via adb nor sideloading.

Can you please tell me how you managed to install Google Play? Which firmware were you using?

Many thanks.

The file may have been placed there Nov 17th but the latest update appears to be from 2016 Nov 4th. Which is the same as the latest firmware listed on this page that keeps all that sorted out here at mobileread.

Thanks. I thought it might be that. Such a shame. I don't think I'll buy another Boyue ereader if they can't be bothered to sort out their firmware.

Better than the Chinese one since I ruined the Banggood version.

So in case you got stuck with the chinese version, you can use this official ROM.

You can download it from here:

-
NOTE: PLEASE BACKUP YOU DEVICE USING TWRP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
for flashing purposes, the RK-BATCH (1.7/1.8) tool will do the job.

Maybe we can tinker around with it and cook something better.

Please test it and let me know.

Any ideas?

Hi the download link seem to be down any way to get this firmware
