Try flashing the boot image.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot reboot Code:
adb push update.upx sdcard adb shell am start -a onyx.settings.action.firmware |

Is there a way to flash the whole update via fastboot? |

With either EDL or fastboot you can flash partitions, but...
This is not an A/B device (i.e there is no boot_a and boot_b)? This does not use a "super" partition? OTOH, system and system_ext marks it as some newer style system. |

The flashing of boot.img in the previous post wrote to boot_b. Quote:

The super partition is a bit of a stinker.
Normally you write that in recovery or in fastbootd (inside recovery). I haven't delved into that much. Have you been switching partitions A/B? That might fix you, but it also might make things worse. You really need to get a somewhat functioning normal system so that you can do an update from there. |

So far I have not actively switched slots. I flashed flashing boota.img from a backup which automatically went to boot_a and boot.img from the update.upx automatically went to boot_b. For vbmeta I did not switch and it was applied to slot b.
Any suggestion what I could try? Can't be much worse than unusable (as it is now)... ;-) |

Whenever i use a particular partition, it always boot loops but other is fine. You can use steps from the video mentioned in post to use hardware option to get into recovery mode - https://help.boox.com/hc/en-us/commu...-screen-Frozen It works for Note Air 2 Plus.

Slot A activated leads to constant onyx logo, blue LED and on the PC EDL-device repeatedly reconnects Slot B activated leads to bootloop: onyx logo --> flashing screen --> onyx logo |

You mentioned being able to get into recovery, but that your computer was unauthorized. You certainly could do it if you were authorized, I've never tried when using an unpaired computer. I have an unfortunate amount of experience having to sideload update.zip to fix my bootloops.
