Onyx Boox Max 2 older firmware

misha · 07-07-2024, 02:49 PM

Hello,

I made a mistake of upgrading my Max 2 to newest available firmware, 3.3.2. I regretted it almost immediately: it is very sluggish now. I was hoping someone could share previous firmware if possible. Anything below ver. 3 (e.g., 2 or even 1.9) would be appreciated very much.

I saw some people sharing the links for older firmware but the files are not available for the download anymore, so I decided to make this thread.

Hello,
I still have 2.2.2 , 2.3 , 2.3.1 , 3.0 and 3.1 (plus 3.2 but you seem to dislike it

)
Which one do you prefer ?

[Edit] As I will not be able to look at the forum for some days, here is a link to get 2.3.1 and 3.1 versions. 3.1 is the last I uploaded to my Max2 and it properly works.
Select one, put it at the root of your Max2, rename it update.upx and go for a manual upgrade !

Thanks a million, @DenisR

Max 2 is usable again

Tried both firmware versions, both work well. I am going to stick with 3.1 for a bit, and if I don't like it - roll back to 2.3. Again, thanks for the options!

found an old 1.8.3 downgrade fails, I think it's a problem downgrading?

Yes, there are usually anti-rollback things in updater-script
It's usually pretty clear.
But... there might be actual changes to some system settings in /data that might break everything if you rollback.

Hi,
Please find hereafter the link to 3.1 firmware. File to be renamed update.upx and placed on your Max2 under / directory.
