Hi,

I'm trying to find any guides to root Boox Palma, but I haven't seen anything so far. Is there any guide available on rooting Palma?

Thanks,
Ebenash

Yes, the Palma should be a piece of cake. It's using the SDM662, so we have a Firehose loader for it.
There's a recent update:

Code:

Model:  Palma (English)
Finger: Onyx/Palma/Palma:11/2023-11-24_18-57_3.5_bf9002fb4b/43561:user/dev-keys
Link:   http://firmware-us-volc.boox.com/85b1def9e1f86f3a3be143210cf1b322/update.upx
Size:   1,524,678,325
MD5:    85b1def9e1f86f3a3be143210cf1b322

And we are able to decrypt it with decryptBooxUpdateUpx. The process is similar for all the Onyx.

@Chitter did a very nice write up here (for a different model).

May I ask, what are the advantages of rooting the Palma: Is it primarily getting higher speed? I am pondering replacing my Poke with a Palma. I'd like more speed and a more pocket-friendly unit.
