I'm stuck in bootloader mode (fastboot reboot bootloader). The device is then not recognized. I uninstalled the google driver, turned off the driver signing and reinstalled it, didn't help either. windows 11

Can you see (like with UsbView.exe) that you're really in fastboot?
How does it look in Device Manager (exclamation marks)?

One option is that you install a WinUSB driver using Zadig.
You could then use my modified "fastbogus" instead of fastboot.

The first step is to see if you can Zadig in a WinUSB driver for it.
fastbogus was posted here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=38

It's a slight modification. The stock fastboot requires an interface of ff/42/03 and a Windows driver interface GUID of <Android>. fastbogus just looks for ff/42/03 and a GUID of <something USB> which loosens up the requirements on the driver.

Oh? Do you mean same or same, same. Or maybe same but different?
Do you still have an exclamation mark in Device Manager?
If you don't, that would be different.

Well, yes, of course, because you're not using fastbogus.

This file is not compressed (nor a prc file). Simply rename .exe

The first question would be, "What do you want to change and why?"
The next is: Are you using a Magisk module to do this?

Since time immemorial /system has been mounted read-only in Android. So if we were talking about a 10 year old Android Jellybean phone I'd point to that.

Since we're presumably talking about a modern Onyx device, I'll point out that /system is not only mounted read-only, it is protected by dm-verity and FEC error correction. If you are using Magisk and if you have written a custom Magisk module to "shadow" the read-only /system/build.prop with your custom version in /data/adb/modules/Whatever/system/build.prop, then ok.

Finally, there is the Magisk-free method which involves actually changing /system, which gets a bit more complicated. I do that.

Thanks for the explanation, I'm obviously not up to date

The last time I got that deep into the system was on Android 6, changing some code to make the navbar visible

I've never looked into the NavBar that deeply. In any case, I don't think that there is anything in build.prop for that. About the only thing in build.prop that anybody would be likely to change would be ro.sf.hwrotation to force your device to be natively landscape.

So, it's here:
Code:
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
   res/values/bools.xml
      <bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>
I looked to replacing this with an RRO (runtime resource overlay) but it appears it doesn't like my non-system signing.

It probably will be possible to binary modify framework-res.apk so that the signing is (hardly) impacted. I just have to figure out which bit in a 10M file needs to be flipped!

Edit: Well, I figured out which bits (32 of 'em) need to be flipped.
I can get a navigation bar, but there is still the issue of getting a black background on the NavBar on some apps. There is also a weird new left and right margin that appears.

im getting this error on the step 5. adb reboot edl



The command adb was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\adb". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.
PS C:\Users\wakkaday\OneDrive\Desktop\boox\platform-tools> adb reboot edl


i have usb debugging enabled on device
i have the adb platform-tools installed on my windows pc
it shows device is attached.

Well, apparently Windows 11 has gotten more persnickety and is pretending that it's Linux. Or else that's just PowerShell. Whatever. Did ".\adb reboot edl" work? Are you trying to use my edl.exe (in the sig) or the Python version from someone else? Do you have a Nova Air C? I'm losing track. Is your goal to install Magisk?
