V3.1.1 version for Mimas run in P10W? So, if P10W receives more updates, they could run in Mimas too

Friend wants to use the mimas that's been off forever. It has 2.3.3 on it atm. I found a OTA file for the mimas and 3.1.1 (this was never released though?) I also have the update fw for the 3.1.0 to go to 8.1 android first. Is it a bad idea to use the 3.1.0? Is it a worse idea to then take this OTA to 3.1.1?
I found the relevant info here which linked to a Facebook post with the mega link to the update zip. https://goodereader.com/blog/electro...xes-typography |

If it's working then I'd leave well alone. The risks far outweigh any hoped for benefits. Just download the reading apps that suit you best. There are big names now working to push things forward - for example Lenovo. The technology and software has so far been progressing at a snail's pace.

They can also only build on known technology (EInk speed), and so far they are 50% behind in write speed and 300% behind in display speed compared to new Boox devices |

Maybe you are too easily pleased. We need faster progress with colour screen devices, easy to use note taking (hopefully to enable notes on e-pub format books) and better battery life. Real competition in the area of these niche devices is long overdue. Big tech has the funds needed to promote and develop ideas.

Even Big Tech cannot overcome physical conditions - and we are already very close to the limits. In my opinion, 1.5 seconds for color build-up is unreasonable. |

I used my Likebook Mimas for a year on 3.1.1 firmware version. No issues. According to my research, that was the last firmware version for this device. Flashed 3.0.2 first, then upgraded to 3.1.1 directly on reader.

Root Likebook Mimas
However, I would like by now to root my Likekbook Mimas.
I already unlocked its bootloader at first, it was a straight forward process. I could post here afterwards. Installed Magisk 25.2 app, because I had trouble on flashing TWRP in order to flash SuperSU. And actually I think that I did not found the right files to do that. Unfortunately that device is very "obscure" in terms of software support, there is no TWRP image for it on twrp.me for example. The Magisk main method does not require a custom recovery. I managed to patch on Magisk the boot.img file that I got from the 3.1.1 firmware update. Went into fastboot mode to flash the patched boot file. The command is: fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot_patched.img Required reboot using the command fastboot reboot. But things became bad after rebooting. Likebook boot screen loads only for a second, and the device restarts into the stock recovery. Entered fastboot mode again and flashed the stock boot.img to unbrick the device. Started up my Mimas again, but without accomplishing the root part. How can I properly root that device? Is there an additional thing to flash or unlock? I would like to get full control of my device through rooting, it is a shame that it is actually much more difficult than to jailbreak my iPad. ![]() Note: Flashed the 3.0.2 firmware using RK Android Tool on Windows. Updated to 3.1.1 on device. Sent the fastboot commands on Linux (LMDE 5). |

I am trying to root my Likebook Mimas.
Managed to unlock the bootloader in a straightforward process through fastboot. Patched with Magisk 25.2 the boot.img from the 3.1.1 update. Flashed the patched boot.img on fastboot mode. It bricks the device, that briefly boots on Likebook boot screen but after a second automatically reboots to stock recovery. Flashing stock boot.img unbricked the device, but I still did not got root access. How can I properly root that? Is there another thing to unlock or patch? |

Have you tried to just rerun the flashing process? The 221 img should be the full 3.0.2 and wipe the device in the process then you can take update 283 (3.1.1) which is a normal update.zip that is ran off the mimas as an OTA.
Are you able to get back into the Bootloader for flashing again? |

I can see why there might be benefit in rooting a Kindle to read epub books without the pain of converting them. What is the advantage of rooting a Boyue device which is running Android and has a link to the Google Play store for alternative reading apps? Am I missing something here?
