Can't root my Nook Glowlight

I'm new in the forum and I need some help with my Nook Glowlight.

It drains the battery in five hours. It also freezes all the time when it goes to sleep. I've tried everything: new battery, turning off, hard reset, update software, erase & deregister...

When I turn it off or try hard reset, it freezes instantanely and stops working. When it happens, I have to wait at least two days to put it on charging.

I manually installed the software update 1.3.1, it didn't fix the problem. Next step was erase & deregister, it was succesfully, but my Nook continues working bad.

I read in this forum that rooting the Nook might be helpful. I read carefully all the thread, but the problem is running omaplink, cause then I have to connect my Nook completely turned off, and when I turned it off it stops working, so I can't continue.

Maybe somebody have any idea? Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Can you boot it on Noogie on an SD card and make a full (2 gig) backup?

Does an adb reboot work while connected to power on USB?

You can try using UsbMode.apk and letting it die. The screen it freezes on will show battery voltage and percentage.

Does UsbMode.apk indicate realistic temperatures (68F and not 30F or 110F)?

Are you sure that the replacement battery is the correct one?
[Nook Touch General] lenavel:
Thanks for all your instructions, Renate NST!

I bought the replacement battery on Amazon. It's an X-Longer, model No. CS-BNR003SL, Lithium Polymer, 3.7 VDC, Part No.DRNK03, S11ND018A. Both batteries, the new one and the original, seem to have the same problem, that's why I thought the problem was not the battery.

I know nothing about rooting, just need to fix my NGL. That's why probably I'm asking something it is obvious.

Finally, I did the complete root, just needed to let it die every time it was neccesary to reboot, and then wait patiently for the moment it began to charge again and restart. Already install superuser.apk, but I think now I need to install ADWlauncher.apk for apps to run ??

Anyway, the problem with power off remains, so i will try your suggestion about using USbmode.apk. I don't know what do I have to do: Install USB.apk using ADB??

Hi

1º Thanks a lot.

2º May I ask you to elaborate on profile and .bashrc files, no alias seam to be executed and when I try to use nano from adb shell I get "Error opening terminal: unknown".

I hunted all the way to the MoDaCo forum but I didn't find a clear explanation.

mounting problem

I tried on Windows 7, 64 bit

At the command

omaplink omap3_aboot.bin u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin uImage-ng2-130-stk uRamdisk-noogie

My Nook was off, and I pluged it in my PC, all was ok until it stopped at the line

Waiting for ADB...

The Nook halted. But the PC was able to read the NOOK drive to get the uRamdisk. So I continued to edit the uRamdisk. Then, I restart the Nook.

Connecting the Nook by wifi was ok. But at the command:

adb shell mount -o remount, rw /system

It responded

mount: Operation not permitted

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Please can you help me. I am trying to root my nook glowlight. Please can you give me a simple step by step instruction as to how to root the nook.

Many thanks
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Mmm, that was what this whole thread was trying to do.

Like most threads it just grew out of control obscuring things.

This thread is about the Nook Simple Touch and the original black Nook Glowlight.

If you have a white Glowlight Plus or a black Glowlight 3, you are in the wrong place.

The Nook Simple Touch had an SD card, so the simplest route is through Noogie on an SD card.

The original Nook Glowlight did not have an SD card so the method here is the way to do it without an exploit.

The OmapLink method works on Windows.

With Windows you need to get drivers working for 3 different interfaces.

It's kind of a pain and it's gotten worse since Windows 10.

Do you have ADB working? That's the first step.

Then you need to get fastboot working.

Then you need to get the bootloader working.

I don't have a Nook Glowlight. I only have a few NST, a Glow2 and a Glow3.

I just tried to refresh my memory by doing OmapLink on it, but I have to plow my way through unsigned drivers.

Which means that I have to reboot. Which means this is the end of this particular post for now.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, the whole USB situation on Windows gets worse and worse.

The bootloader interface pops up for only a few seconds and you have to grab it.

My Windows 10 seems unable to do that.

My $5 Raspberry Pi Zero gets it fine:

[ 1027.250822] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0451, idProduct=d00e

[color=red][i]Note that three seconds elapses.[/i][/color]

I'll work on this.

Dear [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION]..

I have been at this for over a month now - trying to follow every instruction (highly fragmented and spread out all over the forum) to the t. The fact that I've failed to even brick the device must say something about how incapable I am Win10 is - in connecting to the innards of my BNRV500 (v1.3.2). There is no way to update the driver, not this, and therefore not even this works.

There is no response from omaplink, it just says '3 removable disks' and nothing else.

The ADB server is off; etc. The NOOK starts up super-quick, on being connected.

My main purpose is to reorganize the partitions and sideload a couple of apps, so I am willing to try things on a Linux VirtualBox - if you'll kindly help.

Next, I'm gonna try the ZeroLab method (mod by [MENTION=5728225]Kramar111[/MENTION]) here. Wish me luck; will report any success/failure here.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Do you have a driver for the bootloader?

That is, an inf file that directs to winusb?

; OMAP3630
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_D00E
...
[USB_Install]
Include = winusb.inf
Needs = WINUSB.NT

(It doesn't have to be exactly like this, but something similar.)

Is the problem that Windows is too slow to deal with it popping up suddenly?

C:\>sysdm.cpl

Hardware/Device Installation Settings -> "No" (You can turn it back on later.)

C:\devmgmt.msc

View/Hidden Devices

See if you can find 0451/d00e anywhere.

(Hint: Enter Ctrl-Tab Ctrl-Tab DownArrow will get you the "Device instance path" which shows the VID/PID.)
[Nook Touch General] stryker9:
Dear [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION].. thank you! :)

The USB driver, I have from the folder over at "Hacking the new Nook GlowLight" thread; it has these lines:

; OMAP3630
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_D00E
%SingleFastBootInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_CAFE

[USB_Install]
Include = winusb.inf
Needs = WINUSB.NT

..the problem with the pop-up notification may be about it being too fast. I'm on a 2.2GHz-i7/16GB system. I'm not sure though..

I do not see any "VID_0451&PID_D00E" here, but I will try uninstalling the driver and trying again after the "Hardware/Device Installation Settings -> No" setting you've suggested.

Plus, I now have win-7, win-xp, and ubuntu16.04 in virtual machines, all set up.

From your attempts elsewhere, I'm gonna try it all.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
[MENTION=4667067]stryker9[/MENTION] (Sorry for the lateness of reply).

The snapshot that you displayed is for the UMS mounted disks, that's not anything that we're interested in.

The bootloader would be visible under devmgmt.msc

Be sure to click View > Show Hidden Devices

If it already had a named driver it could be under "Android Devices" (or "Androids" or whatever).

If it never had a driver it could be under "Universal Serial Bus devices".

If you're really lost, click View > Devices by connection.

Use a hub and put something well known in an adjacent socket.

Then just look for the thing next to your "SuperMouse2000" (or whatever).
[Nook Touch General] mahdishake:
Stuck on the first step...

I'm having a lot of trouble with this step as well. Not sure if it is because my computer is too fast or what, but after uninstalling the 0451:d00e keys I still do not see my device show up as omap.

My device is the white nook glowlight 2 (BVNR500) model running 1.3.2 firmware. Is my device even supported by this method?

I have also turned on show hidden devices in Device Manager.

Yet when I plug my device in, it simply takes a while but loads as a disk drive. I don't have any category labeled "Android Device" or "Androids" either.

I think this guide could use a YouTube video tutorial but, unfortunately, none have been made with this process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'm getting all confused here.

The white Nook is the Glow 2 is the BNRV510 (and it's an iMX6).

The "Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight" is the BNRV500 (and it's an OMAP, I think, I've never owned one).
[Nook Touch General] mahdishake:
I have the BNRV500

According to Amazon, I have the BNRV500 (A simple search for the BNRV500 leads me to an Amazon page with the white device). The Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight is black with page turn buttons and a micro sd slot, I believe the one I have is the version after it (all white no page turn buttons and NO micro SD card slot). Unfortunately, it seems like the one I have was very limited and discontinued shortly after its release. The lack of a microSD card means it's very hard to root, and I wasn't sure if this process would apply to it.

Any idea of rooting this version is even possible? I can't seem to find anything on it besides your process outlined in this thread.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Sorry, my confusion.

There are two models of Nooks that I have never had in my hands.

Model Nickname Size Color SOC VID/PID Board
------- -------- ---- ----- -------- --------- ------
BNRV200 "Color"
BNRV300 "NST" 6.0 Black OMAP3621 2080/0003 zoom2
BNRV350 6.0 Black OMAP3621 ???
BNRV500 "Glow1" 6.0 White iMX6SL 2080/0007 ???
BNRV510 "Glow2" 6.0 White iMX6SL 2080/000A E60QD0
BNRV520 "Glow3" 6.0 Black iMX6SL 2080/000B E60QQ0
BNRV700 "Glow4" 7.8 Black iMX6SL 2080/000C E70Q50

Try this:

# getprop ro.board.platform
# getprop ro.product.board
# grep Product /*.rc
# busybox grep Product /*.rc

The last one is only if the third one doesn't work.

Edit: Err, if you're not rooted you probably can't see the rc files.

If you know Windows device manager (devmgmt.msc) find your Nook, look in the properties and see if you can find something like:

USB\VID_2080&PID_0007&MI_01\8&B724262&0&000
[Nook Touch General] mahdishake:
Ah no worries, I think I was mistakingly calling it the NG2. I don't have the Nook with me at the moment, I can get back to you in a couple of days.
[Nook Touch General] likesnooks:
thanks for the instructions
[Nook Touch General] grockk:
It's worth noting that if you only want to change the partition sizes, you can do the noogie boot, connect to GPartEd or similar and resize without needing to root. Since our NGL is my wife's, it's all stock except for 2.3gb of side loading book space.

Also all 4 of the partitions that need to be resized/moved can be deleted and recreated if you get errors trying to move them. Then i did a factory restore. The partitions persist through restore. But the restore image is 1.3.1 which doesn't have the TLS 1.2 update so you need to update to 1.3.2 by manually updating at help.barnesandnoble.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4212

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You didn't provide much information for us. Not even what program you used to root or the Odin log and verbatim error messages. So it's uncertain what happened due to the lack of information.

Try writing a full, stock firmware image for your carrier with Odin and see if that restores your phone. If not, is your phone under warranty? You may wish to try making a warranty claim with your carrier. Otherwise you can look to a paid vendor for assistance. This forum does not condone IMEI manipulation and is the wrong place to pose IMEI questions. You may find a good Google search to be advantageous.

I've bought today a Qtek S200.

IPL/SPL: 2.09.0000

GSM: 2.07.20

OS: 2.9.7.28

The first I did was a Hard Reset to the Qtek S200 and then...

Because of the problems with some application and antivirus I did a complete format to my computer. I just installed WinXP PRO SP2, all the updates from Microsoft Update, .Net Framework 3, Outlook 2002 and ActiveSync 4.1 (both came in the CD from Qtek). (I have also disabled Windows Firewall).

Then I think, I've done all the steps right (I think):

1) I connected the USB cable to de PC

2) I tried to plug the USB cable to the Qtek S200 when te PPC was OFF and nothing happened. Then with the Qtek S200 ON (in today's screen) I plug the other side of the USB cable and ActiveSync does not recognize my S200.

I dunno what to do to make ActiveSync syncronize with my Qtek S200, could you please help me???? I've been trying to syncronize for more then 6 hours (doing all the stuff...)

THNX,

Annita
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jesterz:
Try this:

remove your activesync (de-install the software)

reboot your pc

turn on your qtek without the usb cable attached

plugin your qtek on the usb cable.

Does you pc find the device ?? (ding dong sound)

yes ? good, your pc finds it.

take out the usb again

install activesync 4.2

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync42.mspx

try again, and see if it works.

It might work, however I would first look into why you usb doesn't work

when you plugin the usb cable, do you see the phone charge ? (led ontop change to orange) you might have a bad cable or you pc has a problem with the usb port (have your tried another usb port ? or removing all usb devices and only using the phone cable ?)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Annita:
Yes to all.

When I connect the USB cable, the Qtek begins to charge the battery, and the orange led flicks.

I have tried on my PC and on my Laptop and didn't work in any of both.

I have tried with only he USB phone cable and did not work either.

Annita, make sure you have DHCP turned on on your PC. The virtual USB NIC should come up as 169.254.2.2, I believe. I was never able to get it to work without using DHCP on the PC side.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Annita:
What is the virtual USB NIC????

Annita
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joe_dude:
When you plug in the USB cable, the PC creates a "fake" network adapter for the PPC and adds that to your list of network connections.

Just make sure DHCP service is started. Right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> DHCP Client.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Annita:

I originally had a One Plus One official snap on case which cracked in 2 corners in only a couple of days. I ordered a generic Ebay snap on case to replace it. Overall, I have to say the Ebay case is better unless vibrant color choices and a logo is what you are after. I personally prefer no logo on my device and black or charcoal is the color I prefer.

The cutouts, fit, and plastic molding are all top notch and I am happy with my order especially for the price. This wont replace my TPU cases, but i prefer a sleeker case fro church and more formal events. This fits that bill for me.
