Trying to root my Onyx Boox Air Nova C via guide:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=346175 There is two problems: 1) The size of extracted boot.img is 3.7 GB (Is it normal?). When Magisk trying to patch boot.img it's ended with "Failed to output to (file)..." error because the memory is out. Have 14GB of free memory but it's not enought... (Why?!....) So I transferred boot.img to my mobile phone (Xiaomi Mi 11) and successfully patched boot.img on it. 2) Sent my Onyx to bootloader via adb reboot bootloader command. fastboot devices shows Onyx device. fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img gives error: terminating with uncaught exception of type STD::length_error: vector Could you help me? |

Hey, nope it's not normal.
Can you please detail the exact commands you wrote when you dumped the boot.img? While for the second problem, your command is not correct, you missed "flash". It's Code:
fastboot flash boot_a yourpatchedimage.img And don't flash your big boot.img file. It should be around 100Mo only. Last edited by Anghirrim; 05-25-2024 at 04:37 AM. |

Yes, 3.7 GB is just wrong and I don't even know how Magisk made heads or tails of it.
If you have Windows you can use imgutil.exe (in my sig) to see what you have. Code:
C:\>imgutil /v mystery.img Code:
fastboot boot yourimage.img There are situation where it does not work but flashing it would. |

Something screwy is going on.
Try that without the /t I'm pretty sure that's your problem. Didin't it give you a warning? Try doing "edl.exe /g" and copy just the two boot_x lines Last edited by Renate; 05-25-2024 at 09:51 AM. |

Yes, for some reason it was estimating the size of image incorrectly.
Could you run "imgutil /v boot.img" I'd like to see where it's going amuck. Could you do me a favor? Code:
edl.exe /r /pboot_b /c256 shortie It should be only 131,072 bytes. Last edited by Renate; 05-25-2024 at 10:36 AM. |
