Original rooted firmware

Im only see U22-XJ root image. Its also work with max device but hdmi not property work. Not all monitor detect video from U22-XJ-MAX
 
Is there any update on root for this box? I bought one a few days ago but now consider sending it back because the lack of root.

My advice would be to send it back due to the lack of support from Minix, root will never happen let alone updates.

Indeed, Minix seem to have slipped a rooted version in there!! Well spotted.

Have updated the pre-installed factory non root ROM using this *.img (rooted version) by use of the SDCard burning method. At first I got zero progress of this update... The update percentage wasn't visible. I found out that this couldn't work because of the naming scheme of the *.img: It contains spaces inside of the file name. After renaming the update process went ok. To fix that I simply have adapted the file name inside of the *.ini file on the sdcard to match the renamed file.

I was very suprised that all of my files and settings were still there, I had expected that I have to setup everything from zero. /data/* wasn't wiped. It's same version. The Neo U22-XJ Max is rooted now, build is 20221009-V002. Everything is working stable. Booting seems to be a little bit slower.

BurnCardMaker settings are:
erase_bootloader =1
erase_flash =1

May be this helps somebody who needs root access on the Neo U22-XJ Max.
