I have recently bought an Onyx Boox Note. This is an E-Ink device that runs Android 6.0.1. It has a 10.3 inch display, 2 gb of RAM, and 32 gb of internal storage. No sd card slot. There is no custom recovery available for it, to my knowledge. Neither Kingoroot nor Kingroot were able to root it. I have adb access to the Note, however, but not fastboot.
Any suggestions as to what I could try? Let me know if you need more info about the device.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I have achieved root. I used King Root which finally worked after a couple of attempts. I then used the SuperSuMe Pro app to switch myself over to SuperSU. All is well now.
OT, So is the device worth the $$$?

That depends on how you plan to use it. (The price is not out of line if you compare it with an iPad or some similarly sized Android tablet.)
The best answer I can give you is to offer you a checklist of various features. If you can say "yes" to most, if not all, of them, then the Note might be worth the cost for you.
1) Your eyes like E-Ink much more than LED.
2) You want a device light enough for lengthy ebook reading sessions, yet large enough to comfortably read pdfs.
3) You want the ability to install apps of your choice (Instapaper, Moon Reader, Outlook, Office, whatever...)
4) A frontlight is not essential.
5) A sd card slot is not essential.
6) Bluetooth capability is important.
7) Note-taking with a stylus is important to you.
8) Audio capability is useful to you.
9) You find the older crop of E-Ink devices too slow.
There may be other features you may value, but this will do as a general checklist. Then you can see for yourself if the Note is worth the money or not.
Please we need root!!!! I was not able to get root with my firmware!!!!
Hi, Where did you buy this device? I like it and my eyes are tied of LCD screens.
More one question: Could you please show some pictures with taking notes on Onenote?
Thanks

I bought my device from here.
I don't have OneNote installed on my device. However, if you check out the Onyx threads on Mobileread, you'll find reports that there is a significant lag when someone takes notes with OneNote, or any third party app. The stock Note app works much better - but that doesn't help you, unfortunately.
I don't use the note-taking functions very much, other that annotations and the like on pdfs.

The Android applications for taking notes are not ready for this device yet (if they use the Note's SDK, that will be much different history), they have a lot of lag, but instead you can use the built in note application and the is like writing in paper.
I use it to read book and the web.
Need help
Guys, thanks a lot for answers. Actually I need an e-ink device on Android with a big screen and capable to run the app JW Library. But because this devise is new on the market, I am afraid to spent the money (and it is not a cheap one) and discover that it can not run this app smoothly. I have a Kindle Paper White and I love it, but its screen is too small and it is not an Android.
May I ask you guys a favor?
Could someone of you guys to install this app from Google Store and to download just some magazines and books and to try to turn pages, to click on references and to see how it works (the app does not require registration). I think with 2 Gb of RAM and 4 core proc. it should work smoothly as much as the e-ink screen allows, but I am afraid to buy it and discover that this app is too heavy for the Note and its software.
Please, I need a help with this.
Thank you in advance for the help!
P.S.: It would be great if someone could attache a picture of the Note with this app working/opened if it is not too much to ask for.
I might be able to try it tomorrow. One of the main reasons why I bought the Note was its ability to run the Logos Bible Software app - and the Note runs it perfectly. I'll see what I can do about pics. I can attach screenshots as well.
ERASED.
citytrader said:
I did the test, is not like turning pages because the application has the scroll vertical and the experience was smooth (smooth as an eink allows), the experience was like Galaxy TAB S with a display a bit slower than the Galaxy.
This device for reading is really amazing, I believe till now is the best in the market.
The screenshots are in the attachment.

Because I don't have an open boot-loader I cant do much else, or can I ??
6.0.1 Android Marshmallow should have enough holes in it, no?

After one of the firmware updates, I was unable to get root again. So Onyx must have changed something, which made it harder to root the device. To be honest, I think I lucked out in getting root in the first place!
Yes, you'd think that Marshmallow would have plenty of holes in it! But I haven't seen anyone else get root on a Note, either, since then.
If anyone else reading this has, please tell us how you did it!

Just to confirm what @Windsor1959 encountered that previously I was able to obtain root through Kingroot. Recently I updated the firmware for my Onyx Boox Note and I tried to root again with Kingroot but was not successful. I encounter this post while I am searching for method to root it again (very unlikely at this point).

I was wondering if someone could help me with this question. I am considering buying one, but I want to know if you are able to install the navionics app? It didn't appear to be availabe on the flyer due to the resolution, but it is available on plenty of other HTC devices.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Not seeing it come up in the market when I search. Sorry dude.
Thanks. I guess I'll be waiting a bit. I have heard there is a way to download it and force an install, but it would be easier just going through the market.
this is the one reason that app store is still surpassing android market. All apps work on their devices. Isn't android 3.2 supposed to fix this?
Does anyone know if there is a way to see what is available in the android market for a specific device? I have quite a few apps I like on the iphone that is keeping me from making the jump over to android. I would love nothing better than to get away from IOS, but as for the apps I commonly use, I would like to ensure being able to keep them.

The Jetstream is running 3.1, not 3.2
Also, I just installed 3.2 on my Xoom today and still no Netflix, although that might be due to the CPU type.
Would someone mind looking in the travel category on the jetstream andriod market place? I have read it doesn't always turn up in the search. It is supposed to be able to work on any Android OS greater than 1.6 with an SD card, but is just not certified on anything but the Samsung Galaxy Tab (which is because that doesn't have an SD card).
Thanks again for the help. I am itching to buy this thing, but I hate to have to return it if it doesn't work.
Checked the travel section, no go.
I assume you're talking about apps like this one from Navionics? If so, it's not available for the Jetstream, possibly not tablets in general.
On the possibly bright side, there's another marine mapping app called Marine Charts HD that is available for the Jetstream.

It's not showing in the market... Hopefully the support it soon as it's on my mandatory app list.
Sidenote: Love the Jetstream so far, would def. recommend.
I got a canned response from Navionics customer service. They still say that it is supposed to work on any device with 1.6 or greater that has an SD card.
I think you can download it onto your computer, but this will be my first android device, and I am not sure how you install apps from a PC onto the android OS. If you can load it on the SD card and install it on the device, it might be available.
Also, when does 3.2 come out? And when does the Jetstream get that upgrade? Isn't that supposed to fix the problem with apps working on varying screen resolutions?
There is a navionics apk file that supposedly works on some tablets. I don't know if it works on honeycomb, but if anyone wants to try it, I'd love to know if it works. I guess you just google navionics apk, and install it. If it works it will let you download the charts.
Post a link to the apk, I will install and let you know the process / results.

I don't know if this is a good torent link, but it is the first one that came up when I googled it. I was going to download it myself, but I still don't have anything to use it on.
I just downloaded an apk for the east coast. It loads, looks great, but doesn't seem to be pulling gps location, which basically renders it useless. I'll reboot and try again later when outside.
Note: I own this already, so downloading the apk isn't poaching.
Great! Hopefully the kinks will be worked out. I will be purchasing it shortly, but still waiting on a commission to come in before I committ. If this ends up working though, I would be very happy indeed.
I get the impression that Navionics is waiting for Ice Cream Sandwhich, which would lower their development costs. It is supposed to be out October/November. I just hope the jetsteam gets the update and sense doesn't slow it down too much.
Tested it again outside after reboot and can confirm that the gps function is not working.
I'm sure they'll roll it out soon. None of the other chart apps come even close.
Just got an email from Navionics that they now support Honecomb. Anyone care to check if it is available in the android market from the jetstream?
Thanks for the help!

Just did a search and there are 8 seperate apps for different locations.
Its there, and working. Gps locked pretty much immediately.
I am very Noob in this, but I have questions that I am sure that are gonna help a lot of people.
I am going to buy a cheap e-reader/tablet, and I have seen that the two best options are Nook Tablet and Kindle Fire.
The difference between the prices is 50USD, and I accept them. But I want to permanent root my device, so, the question is:
If I permanent root the Nook Tablet, will I be able to access all the device memory? Because without rooting it is limited to 1GB.. Will I be able to put for example 4gb of video without MicroSD?
Because if I cant access all the storage, I will have to buy a 16gb microSD.. So the difference between the two devices will be about 80USD, which is quite a lot.
The other questions are: Can you really access the Android Market and download apps if you root the Nook Tablet?
What does that means that the bootloader in the Nook tablet is locked? Is the rooting going to be unstable for that?
Thank you very much.
All these questions have been answered to other threads. Please read or search for them.

I have been in a lot of forums, and I know perfectly that before you ask, you have to search for your questions. I have been about half hours looking for them, and I have found different answers, so I need the real one.
Some answers say that you can only access all the memory for the installed apps, but not for all the medias.. others say that you always need a MicroSD card.. so, tell me please, which of those threads is the truth?

The first one. You install to the internal, and can make folders (I suggest putting them in data or media, and not anywhere in the main directory) anywhere. Downloads from other app stores and ebook stores save all over the place, but usually by default to an SD card. Just learn to use a file manager and expect to root it.
It's easier to get every other application/store/video to run on a rooted Nook Tablet (compared to a KF), but it'll be much easier to make custom roms for a Kindle Fire due to the bootloader. What this means is that: if you have a kindle, you will sit around fiddling with rooting and unrooting if you want their Instant Video to work, until a whole new rom (entire OS overhaul) is available. In comparison you can root a Nook Tablet, and put whatever you want on it and run it and most things will work (if they're tablet apps, and depending on what stores you use), but it will be much harder to load a new OS on it, if ever. For someone who wants to hack and mod a tablet, they will want to do it on a device that is supports it (KF). For someone that wants to read books, play games, watch videos, read comics, very easily right off the bat (with 10 min of work), the Nook Tablet is better (and has a few important higher specs).
And the suggestion to find the many threads that answer your question wasn't "go out there and find other forums with lots of conflicting answers" but *SCROLL DOWN.*

There are definitive answers, so I don't know that you've searched all that much. However, to answer some of your questions:
Yes, you can install the market once rooted, and the bootloader being locked means that the simplest solutions for installing new ROMs will not work. People are trying workarounds at the moment, but there is no ETA. This has no bearing on having the device rooted.
I think it is also important to mention that until a verified means of preventing OTA updates to the system is created, it is possible your device to become un-rooted after it updates itself.
So far, I have seen no sure-fire ways to prevent the NT from updating itself - only guesses. So your "permanent root" may not be so permanent for the time being.
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Means custom roms can't be created as of yet. Give it time.
Why do so many people keep repeating "over the air updates may remove root..." Maybe it will, maybe it won't. You must accept an OTA update. If you are worried about root, don't accept the update until you know what it will do. Seems simple to me.
Is there even a patch for the zergrush expolit?

For the KF at least, its coming in the form of silent updates. Once you're on wifi, the update is pushed down.
Honestly its a hazard of the game until we have different roms. If they plug the hole, they plug it. I'm holding out for the ROM solution, regardless of elegant/inelegant the solution proves to be.

True enough. Often inelegant=most effective. Same when I first rooted my TF101. Used the ADB root. Which meant I had to self-teach ADB. Best thing that happened as not only I achieved root but learned something new that has helped with other devices.

If the NT does OTA updates like the NC there is no prompt to accept the update, just a message that the update occurred. It is not the same as a phone.

Thanks for this information about using android devices as secondary displays. I knew exactly where to come for the best information. I've read elsewhere on the Internet that this can cause the android device to freeze up and other problems, but when executed correctly, it can be quite useful. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this?
Grateful
Before I dive into this I'd like to thank you. The fact that someone like yourself would take time out to help out a dummies like myself. I don't know if any of this applies to a Note 5 or Galaxy Tab A ,but trying to mirror either one of those is a friggin joke,it's like Vegas odd's if it will work!
Hopefully I can help someone

New to this - hopefully this is the right thread
I am the noobest noob around when it comes to android based phones (hoping to climb the mountain of knowledge to start developing during this winter if I have the time!).
The first thing I want to say is a clear "thank you" to those of you who are sharing knowledge - all searches "root my G3" led here to this site and it appears that there are some very talented people here - I am here to learn, experiment and share... Right now I am very much in the learning mode with regards to these topics.
So...I just got this LG G3 (Verizon)/VS985. I've had it for 3 days and I am really not a fan of all this bloatware they put on it. I just want it off.
Apparently, removing all these Amazon, football, etc. apps can only be done by rooting the phone.
Now here are the questions:
1. There seem to be many ways now (at least 3, maybe 4) to root these phones. Which is the best? Does it matter?
1(a). Someone mentioned that "they" (not sure if its verizon or LG) might discover the "exploit" that (I assumed) was used to root their phones and then change it - would this affect any phones that have been rooted previously or just phones that would be rooted using that specific exploit?
2. Assuming I am able to successfully root this phone, at that time can I remove the apps I do not want on the phone with the current apps or do I need new apps to accomplish this?
3. Will most play store apps work properly on rooted phones?
4. I do not understand nearly any technical jargon with these unit as of yet. I see people are maybe changing the bios (?) of the unit and software of the unit? Is this correct? If so, where does one obtain different bios or software?
5. This may sound petty, but I dislike the circular shape of "folders" when you combine apps together on this phone - and I wondered - is there a way to change this style to a traditional rectangular file folder or make other cosmetic changes to this phone so it is completely customized? For example, what if I want a small element that shows the weather using the national weather service website instead of what was built in? Do I have to figure out how to produce that or are there already such things out there?
6. I continually note the warnings that are stated when websites give links to root phones - are the risks overplayed or are there really some issues with this (other than "voiding the warranty")?
7. Once I root my phone, can I remove the bloatware and then go on using the phone and useful apps essentially as it was previously?
8. This is a bit off topic, but assuming I have some basic computing and electronic skills, is it possible to learn enough about the foundations of how these units work at the code level and produce an "app" that does specific tasks of which current apps do not within a few months perhaps?
8(a). Any recommendations of literature or other learning tools out there to support this quest?
That's it for now - again thanks very much for those who are sharing knowledge and workarounds on this forum!

8(a). Any recommendations of literature or other learning tools out there to support this quest?
That's it for now - again thanks very much for those who are sharing knowledge and workarounds on this forum!

You're in the same ballpark as me! I just bought my Lg G3 from Verizon yesterday as well, however I'm going to wait a little while to root it. I'm running Nova Launcher and just made all of those apps hidden. But let me answer some of your questions from my past root experience!
1. As for ROMS, I would stick to the Verizon section for now, but that's just me. You can try the other 'variants,' but that's up to you if you want to get your feet wet over there. It won't ruin your phone, just some of the things won't work (probably, I don't know). Looks like Jasmine is your best bet so far, and there's another one MIUI that is pretty popular, but that's your selection as of right now and people seem to be enjoying them the best!
2. Absolutely . If you can't delete them manually, you can download Titanium Backup (what I use) to delete those horrible Verizon apps and Amazon, etc. Now, these will be deleted from your phone for good until you unroot your phone and reflash the official, orginal firmware provided here on xda.
3. All Play Store apps should work. Well...MOST should work. I've been rooting for over 2 years and I've never had an app say, "nope! too bad, so sad." So you should be good Download away.
4. These are new concepts for me too...I would just do some homework. Like every flasher out there would say, "Read read read! Oh. And READ BEFORE ROOTING!"
5. I would assume this is just based on the Launcher that you're using. You can use the stock software which is pretty nice, actually, but I prefer Nova launcher in my personal liking. There's also GEL that is pretty and fluent. In the settings of these apps, you can (usually) change the folder icons.
6. If you have a warrenty, yes, it's "Voided," unless you unroot . Make sure you read up on that, but there is nothing wrong with it. I've had Verizon reps actually tell me that what I did was a good thing, haha. But if you plan on returning the phone, make sure you unroot it and discard of any "suspicions!" Again, just do your reading about root/unroot and you should be solid. :good:
7. Yes.
8. Just read the general LG g3 forums of rooting, unrooting, bumping (this is new), and read what others are saying about the ROM to see what kind of issues there may or may not be with it. And have fun! Also, once you get the hang of rooting, it will be easy as pie. If it's something new, there's a ton of information out there already with our phone where you can fix it! There's a unbrick solution on here, too, just not sure where in the threads.
Side note - If you have any questions or problems, it's just a simple question in the Questions thread and you have a few thousand people here ready to help you! HAPPY FLASHING!

I have rooted my lg g3 d855 eur e10 few days ago. Now my play-store keeps saying that i don't have working network connections with 3g and wifi. I factory reseted it today and now i can't log in to my google play account. It says " Can't establish a reliable connection to server. This could be temporary problem or your android device may not be provisisioned for data services".

Nothing I've seen been looking my self. I've tried a few to no avail. Framaroot, kingo root, towelroot, none of which work.
I also need to root this device. Kitkat is really a pain. SD card is really useless with it. Root can only save my tablet from being tossed. Anyone have discovered root?
Nothing yet! We must wait! XDA is the only i trust from the past!!! For rooting and for they apps for rooted phones and tamplets!
Unfortunately this tab can't be rooted as of now, Tested "King ROOT & One Click". both didn't work, But to be fair let's give it a bit more time for the developers to put on attention, this tab has potential

I have install many games (and unistall them for memory)! Is good! Fast with no lag to anything! The only games i see problem is from Nvidia Tengra or Shield which are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab E!
I agree with your request to the root of this device, I hope that developers will soon find a way.
I do not understand why there are several guides that give kingroot working on this device.
Yea, waiting on root myself.

Those sites you've mentioned are gathering traffic, i tried informing them to stop misleading by sending them a post. So for now i think we should stick to XDA. Hopefully some devs will hear us...
think there is some hope of root?
I'm waiting for this also. This tab comes with 8GB and to use my SD with link2SD i want to root it. But XDA worths the patience so lets hope it will be soon.
Maybe the problem to the root, is due to processor uncommon.

I Don't think it has something to do with the Processor, But who knows? i might be wrong. Anyways it all comes down to the firmware and the attention to the devs who has the unit in hand.

however, this tablet is really bad, no root becomes almost unusable
We must wait! The devs need time! Do not disappoint!!!

I agree, but for now let's cross our fingers, anyways if things won't go well for our tabs, then it's high time to sell it or have it as a portable media tablet for movies and so on... But yes i am thinking of selling my tab, since i have the note 10.1... But still i would love to have my tab "E" rooted.
i found this chinese site for our tablet.. i think this is the only to root our phone that is flashing a prerooted stock rom.. i havent tried it yet,, here is the link and tell me what you think about this..
