Onyx Boox - Testing beta versions of firmware

Attached Image


Device Description: Good day!

In order not to throw all the firmware in one pile, we decided that it would be nice to create a separate topic for testing beta versions of new firmware, which Onyx regularly sends us. It is known that here on the forum there are many enthusiasts and fans to test this or that software. Some do not want to wait until posting a release, and it would be interesting to explore more or less normal beta versions (one of which may well become a release). In addition, it is possible that someone will notice those bugs or shortcomings that we can skip for any reason.

We decided to postbeta firmware for a range of devices .

The most important changes are the increase in battery life and the disconnection of any additional services and programs when not in use. They are enabled when this option is called and disabled when it is closed.

Attention : If you have a Monte Cristo 1, Vasco da Gama 1 or Robinson Crusoe 1, check if there is an extended memory section for applications. If not, you must first flash the device firmware, expanding this section of memory. This firmware will be issued in technical support: https://onyx-boox.ru/contact
To check the volume of the memory section for applications Go to Settings - Applications - Application Settings - Application Management. And there you can look at the memory data, if the total amount (busy + free) is about 800 MB or more, then the extended partition doesn’t need to be used with the above firmware.

Installing beta firmware
1. Download the firmware file to the desktop.
2. Charge the device battery to at least 50%.
3. Copy the zip file, without removing it from the archive, to the device in the root directory of the internal memory via a USB cable. Then unplug the cable.
4. Connect a mains charger.
5. Go to Settings>About the device>System updates>Check for updates in memory.
6. There will be a question about confirming the desire to update the system. Click "Update."
7. The firmware will start. Lasts about 5 minutes.
8. If the system menu appears in the process, select Reboot now with the paging buttons and confirm the selection by pressing the Power button.
9. Wait for the user interface to load.
10. Delete the firmware installation file after the reader is loaded.
11. After carrying out the firmware procedure for Google Play to work correctly, it is recommended to reset your personal data.

We will be grateful for the feedback on the firmware and reports on errors and defects found.
Installing these firmware does not entail the cancellation of the warranty. If something happens to your device after installing one of these firmwares, please write to tech support -https://onyx-boox.ru/contact. We ask you to follow the instructions for updating the firmware exactly.

This can not be done. The reason is most likely valid in the old markup.

As it turned out, not quite and yes. The reason is in the kernel. It starts and starts at 4th Darwin (even if without wifi and a lot of errors in the logs, but starts the same), and on Monte it leads everything to the same brick. :(

Full firmware and instructions on how to do it, you can request in technical support


Made. It got, however, OReader falls there when you open the epub. It will be necessary to try to put another version.

There are 3 readers in the system, OReader, Neo Reader 2 and Onyx Neo Reader. I checked - it seems that the first ebub from the filibusta opens in all three. Maybe you need some more specific epub? Try to open in all three reading rooms and tell which one it works.

Later now. Maybe it really was such an epub. But it was open to everyone except the standard OReader in the original firmware 1.8.2 from ONYX.

Good evening!

You can send a file / link to the "problem" file in technical support -https://onyx-boox.ru/contact- experts will see what could be the matter.



Rep: (20)
I was surprised by the lack of the ability to configure a long press of the Left button as Refresh the screen instead of for some reason duplicated Back in firmware 1.8.2 for Monte Cristo 3.
Options to refresh the screen are not enough to work in the browser often, and even in the settings of the book, you can catch artifacts by connecting a Google account, for example, after the keyboard appears / is hidden. If this option cannot be returned to the firmware, I would like to get some application to force the screen to update the ink, I would hang it myself on the hotkey.

Good day.

Thanks for using the Onyx Boox reader.

The current firmware versions for the C63M Ermak and Marco Polo are respectively here and here:https://onyx-boox.ru/support/boox_c63m_ermakandhttps://onyx-boox.ru/support/boox_c63m_marcopolo
New firmware for these models will not be (and their development was suspended for a long time), since these models have long been discontinued. If the firmware on the link above will be unstable, I recommend contacting technical support:https://onyx-boox.ru/contact



Rep: (3)
Well, thanks for the "current" firmware of 2014 .. It turns out that the device has hardly been updated since the release. We take into account the future ...

And from amateur enthusiasts, no one tried to finish the firmware?

It is strongly advised that after updating this firmware to make a full recalibration of the battery. Here everything is painted step by stepOnyx Boox C67ML - Firmware (Post cergor # 68774976)



Rep: (3916)
* ONYX Russia,
In time, it is important for me, for example, because only in sbt I purchased a subject, I was ready for the furious battery consumption, but not as much: spiteful :.
Saturday evening after the purchase was 78% setting / picking; I didn’t turn off (sleep cover mode), turned off almost all Android services (because they don’t need reading), read a total of 6 hours in O-Rider - 15% this morning.
About the nuances of calibration of the battery controller in the course, I did not have time yet: rolleyes :.

To the furious consumption of the battery was ready, but not as much
On this one (I have the same firmware on Darwin 4), the consumption is about 7-8% per day, when reading ~ 3 hours per day (with backlight, without shutdown, only the cover sleep mode, Google Pribluds are removed). Consumption is smooth, sometimes there is a small subsidence.

Yes, this assembly. I got the same (for another device) at the very beginning of February, I ported it to Darwin myself. Well, there was a time already poganat



Rep: (3916)
* ONYX Russia,
In general, I did not wait for a full charge: rolleyes:. Updated by 35%. KMK, the responsiveness of the menu has become higher, I will test the battery after full charge.



Rep: (70)
a beta version of the new firmware for Onyx Boox Monte Cristo 3.


I installed it, threw it off with a soft-reset in the factory, again disconnected the unnecessary (14 apps somewhere) - we will test. Why Google has not yet been cut out and thrown into the root installation file (well, you never know, you need anyone to download from Market or at WOT to play on the book reader) - it is not clear ...



Rep: (22)
* ONYX Russia,
on rc2 also fit this firmware?
