Boox Note 3 bricked

aaron42195 · 09-15-2024, 09:54 PM

My Boox Note 3 bricked. Please check the vedio below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oKl...ew?usp=sharing
only fastboot mode I can enter.
Any suggesion for me to fix this issue?

You can always fix a Poke3 from software problems.
The worst case is if you lose some calibration data, MACs or serial number if you haven't backed up.

With EDL and the Firehose you can make a full, raw backup that will return your specific device exactly to a certain time point.

You can also use EDL to get to recovery and from there do a "factory reset".

I'm not sure how you use your device, but I've got nothing "precious" on mine.
From a fresh device it would take under 30 minutes to make it like before.

Hi Renate,

Thank you for your reply! It has given me some hope.
Could you please suggest any instructions or guides on how to proceed with the steps (such as using EDL mode and the Firehose tool)?
Also, I have now made the video public, so you should be able to view it.

Thanks again for your help!

That's the boot animation.
It runs when the Android subsystem is mostly running but it hasn't started looking for a launcher application yet.

If you had previously enabled ADB you should be able to connect and ask it what it thinks it's doing.
But I guess that you haven't?
With ADB you could just:

Code:

adb reboot recovery

Getting into EDL mode is easy if you have ADB:

Code:

adb reboot edl

Internal test points always work but can be difficult to access and locate.
EDL test cables should work on most recent Onyx.

Yes, but I don't like QFIL and virtual com ports (or Python).

I can use edl.exe.
What is my next step?
Sorry, I don’t know much about this part.

I use edl/l command. Get the result below.

C:\Temp>edl /l

That's all good. You need to load the correct loader. That's in the instructions.
You can rename it poke3.bin as it's shorter and more succinct.
You may need to start a fresh EDL session as it's easily confused.

Code:

C:\>edl /lpoke3.bin
C:\>edl /g

That will dump the GPT so we know everything is working ok.

I get confused. Didn't somebody post after you? Did it disappear?

aaron42195 · 09-18-2024, 05:43 PM

I find the loader by hash code and ...

is this correct?

Sorry, you're UFS.

Code:

C:\>edl /lpoke3.bin
C:\>edl /u /g

After using /l you need to always add a /u.

I found another thread (EDL on a Boox Note3) mation
sdm660/3006000000010000_7e425bcb25364725_fhprg_peek.bin worked on Note3

I can load other .bin such as
bkerler\qualcomm\factory\sdm636\000cc0e100000000_7 be49b72f9e43372_fhprg_bqx2_peek.bin

What's the problem?

another I don't know why my post always dispear after reply

Renate · 09-19-2024, 09:15 PM

For most devices you have to pay attention to the PK hash and it must match.
That's because it's the security mechanism for Secure Boot.

But if you don't have Secure Boot enabled the universe of loaders to check is much larger.

A single loader can support multiple different processors.

In the final analysis the loader you need is the one that works.

The loader you mentioned in #12 seemed to work fine, but you need that /u flag.
Why are you talking about a different loader in #14?
