**I am not responsible for any damage to your device, and I am sure this probably voids your warranty**
Hello everyone,
I am hoping the potential of the Max 3 can be unlocked with the help of you guys, the community. To start it off, I found a way to obtain root on the Max 3. Hopefully, others can now help develop further.
The root method uses Magisk in recovery mode. You can read about it here under "Knowing Your Device": https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Our device uses "system as root" and is a NON-A/B partitioned device.
This means that we take our modified recovery.img and flash it to the recovery partition, then when we boot into recovery mode, Magisk automatically boots into a rooted system.
The only problem with this, is that Max3 has no way of booting to recovery using hardware buttons, and adb reboot recovery bypasses magisk and goes to recovery. This isnt a big deal, but just means that any time reboot you will lose root.
To gain root, run "adb reboot-bootloader" , then the screen will not look like anything happened due to e-ink, but if you run "fastboot devices" your device should appear. then you just run "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
make sure your bootloader is unlocked first, i believe it already is from factory "fastboot flashing unlock"
I have uploaded the patched recovery here: https://anonfiles.com/i7t1Gb6fnf/magisk_patched_img
One of the first things I propose to look into is restoring the native android Recents screen so that we can put apps into Multi-window mode.
The problem is that onyx removed this ability and have their own "OnyxRecentsActivity". I have already tried to modify the SystemUI.apk, but can't get the system to run properly with the modified file. I think its a signature issue. Maybe someone with more knowledge can help
