⚠️ Incompatibility Warning

There have been several reports of Onyx having updated the bootloader to invalidate the instructions below for Boox Go devices above a certain firmware version. While these instructions will likely work with devices running pre-2025 firwmare, proceed with caution.

(This still works on a BOOX Page 7 running version 2026-02-10 commit 5c56f32dee.)

This guide will help you root, de-bloat and secure the amazing Onyx BOOX Go Color 7 (Gen 1), an amazing Android-based eReader.

After pulling everything together, I thought it would be a good idea to document what ended up working for me with the following setup:

*darr apps
Some 3d printers
MobilRaker
NZB360
