I bought the max by mistake, I haven't seen the 'max' behind the xj. :rolleyes:
I wanted to buy the xj because of the possibility to root and install TWRP.
Now I don't know if I should send them back or is there a possibility to root and install TWRP for the xj max to? :unsure:
Thanks in advance!
 
Nothing? Nobody?
That's bad! I have to reset the box now because my wifi doesn't work anymore and I want to do a backup before.
I appreciate any suggestions, please!

I have bought this device because I have owned NEO X5 and X6 in the past and I was impressed with their support.
Well I have known that they have such bad support for their products now, I would stayed away from this one like a plague.
This is also what I'm planning to do in the future.

They have also released FW with root option in the past, but for this one I would not hold my breath.
Also there is no rooting+TWRP info as far as I know, my best bet would be replacing stock FW with Slimbox OS or something else, but I don't want to do that as it has it's own bugs.

Yes, I know. But when I try to boot the twrp from extSD, it will not be installed.
In the worst case it doesn't work and the box boots into stock recovery, I guess.
Or I'm wrong? :unsure:

Perhaps you should contact minix support to ask if they will release a root patch update.

They will not get involved in TWRP questions for the max, because I have already asked. And the people who provide twrp for android, have not yet released a version for the u 22 max.

But, leaving root aside, you could always back up your data and apps to CX explorer and SD card. Then reflash the box as laid down on many posts in the minix forum. And then reinstall your apps.

If root is imperative to your needs, then you could try and contact minix support to return the max and ask for an exchange to the u22xj. But, I doubt that they will play ball, as it is not advertised as a possible function on the u22 xj max.

Hope that helps in some way.

Thanks for replying!
To change the box was my first idea but the u22xj is not available anymore, not even one the big river.
Later I will have a look at the cx explorer. Hope, it can save app +data properly so it will save up a lot of work to me.
I will have a look at at the twrp for the xj. Maybe the difference is not so big, so I could change some lines or ask somebody in the german android board to do this.

Have a look here. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/

Perhaps you could contact them and ask for advice on how to build your own Twrps for the u22xj max.
