Hi.
I want to update my onyx boox note pro... First off. Does it go blank? All the books and soundbooks and notes?
I hope not..

I want the right file. That's all. What info do you need from my device to help locate it? Don't want to brick my device. Read this here:

Can i just connect with usb and put it in the first directory that pop up on the pc? That's the root directory?
Then just update? I don't have time to send the device back now.. I rather not update, but i bet it's some good new stuff. I have mine offline of course. I want privacy and don't want others to know what and how i read, that's private information. So i need to update manually. Mostly by principle and personal integrity and because i read kindle deleted the book 1984 from their devices so.

I was thinking to use the Applicable model: Note Pro
BOOX Note Pro V2.2.1(20191121) file... But i don't want to brick it. I might do this another time when i more sure because i need to do it manually and all.

Thanks. I don't have an sd card. I can send it with usb.. Where is the root directory? In the storage one? Does it remove the books and soundbooks i have and notes? Or just update without removing anything? Like it should. Thanks

Alright. It was really really easy. They have done a good job there also. Everything with the onyx boox is great!!!
I just put the file in the root folder and updated. Easy!

I was mostly paranoid i would brick my device, but why would i? It works fine. I like the new firmware even more and i will continue to keep this one offline. Because i want my privacy. Good that this option exist. I don't even need to connect it and get distracted by the internetz and get my privacy invaded at the same time. An offline reader rocks.
I really love this e-reader! It's been a while since i loved a gadget like this one. Where you can write, think and read on. And offline. Which i prefer. I'm rambling! Anyways. It was an easy update and i will do in in a year again later on. Time to sleep.
