Thanks for the ROM. I have tried successfully on an x96 box with 1G/8G. Both the wifi and remote works well. The problem is when I tried to root the device - I can't seem to connect via adb (I have developer option and USB debugging enabled). My computer does not recognise that the device is connected (via male USB-A to male USB-A cable). It would be fantastic if you upload an image with root pre-installed.

Actually ignore the last request. I have managed to root my device after muddling through the adb over network. Thanks again for the fantastic ROM

Correction..

It's not ZTE HG680P..

But, Fiberhome HG680P..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
hi, i believe this device ia actually manufactured by ZTE and just rebadged as fibrehome, i think this device wont work, seems to not like generic roms :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] wawa9292:
Is that so??

And if i may ask,

Now my HG680P is running Marshmallow (rooted)

What can i do to upgrade from marshmallow to Pie or at least Nougat..

UBT process stopped at 7% (after "download meson1" then state "formatting", and fail/stopped right there)

As my friend have a HG680P unit which is running stock Android Pie (from manufacturer)..

And is already run rooted Pie now..

We do cross-check both device, and it's turn out both device is identical..
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:

Thanks for your efforts!

Tested on A95X B7N (905x 1/8 Realtek 8616 or 8618 - can't recall), some observations:

1. Performance is quite good

2.Wifi does not work

3. Original remote supplied with box does not work. However a generic remote from a old S805 MXQ box (512 ram) works perfectly

4. EAC3 Audio does not output anything through Plex, regardless of Sound settings (incl. Advanced) or Plex settings (common for my box at least, workaround possible).

5. HDR works.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] b0gman:
Let me preface this with this issue began with the February security update. I cannot say for certain that they are related, however it’s difficult to believe that they are not. Tuesday after installing the February security update my phone and lost the ability to connect to Tmobile’s data network. It can still call, text, send MMS, and run speed tests. I’ve been working with one of the engineers at Tmobile corporate in Bellevue Washington. They have gone above and beyond looking at the switch, refreshing my account By suspending and reactivating it. They have had my Sim card swapped multiple times. When I put my Sim card into my old phone I have data connectivity like normal. Does anybody hear have any insight or anything to try on a pixel five to possibly undo whatever the February security update did.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] b0gman:
Update. Best Buy replaced the phone outside of normal warranty. As soon as it got the February security update the problem is back.

Ouch. That sucks.

Try a factory reset if you haven't.

Most likely it was the update.

If a reload doesn't get it, reflash the firmware.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbcsd:
So I reset an old Amazon Fire HD8. It takes me to the page where I select language, then asks me to connect to wifi, which I do. After that, it sees there is an update available and immediately starts to download it (doesn't ask yes or no).

At which point, it just goes into an endless loop. Goes from 100% to 1%, then back up to 42%, back to 1%, then back up to 42%, back to 1%...etc.

I can't seem to get it out of the loop. I tried rebooting into the system recovery menu, and was going to try and apply the update from adb. But adb fastloader doesn't seem to recognize a device is attached.

In Device manager, I see exclamation points around the Android ADB, Bootloader and Composite ADB Interface, all say:

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
B&N isn't very specific with their updates.

The script only checks:

"ro.product.device") == "ntx_6sl"

Which does not distinguish between different models.

Sometimes people load the wrong update.

That can make things pretty bad if it overwrites u-boot.

Although ntxhwcg has customization for each model, u-boot is also customized for each model.

If the ROM bootloader sees a u-boot that appears good it will try to load that. It might fail.

If it does not see a valid u-boot it will use the ROM bootloader to fined one.

That is our way out.

Ok, there is a hiccup in the Glow stuff.

Before it is initialized a Glow2 shows up as VID/PID 0000:0002

Before it is initialized a Glow3 shows up as VID/PD 0000:0003

Later that will be correctly initialized as VID/PID 2080:000a or 2080:000b (respectively).

So a Glow2 (white, BNRV510) accidentally updated with a Glow3 (black, BNRV520) could show that 0000:0003

The console will give you lots of information so that you will not be operating blind.

First, open your Glow 2.

Use a single edge razor to pry gently the right hand side of the screen up.

Also work the top and the bottom, but don't touch the left hand side.

The cables inside are too short so only open the screen as little as possible.

Then you'll see "J4" which is the console.

The bottom contact is ground, then RX (to the Glow), then TX (from the Glow), then 3.3V (which don't touch or connect).

You can connect a 3.3 V (important!) UART to USB converter to this.

You can use little pins and just hold it a little angle to make contact.

In minimal case you need ground and the Glow TX (which is your UART RX) to be connected.

Look for stuff. If you are lucky the u-boot will show up.

Then you'd need to connect the Glow RX to the UART TX so that you can type at the Glow.

I never really noticed that 0000/0003 stuff before.

It gives me hope that the wrong u-boot you have is good enough to do something.

I was playing around with my Glow3.

I go between having it normal, putting in a go-to-fastboot u-boot or wiping the fastboot depending on mood/need.

Here's what you can do with imxlink.exe when you have no u-boot:

But nothing shows up.

Any sugestions what i am missing/doing incorrect.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
115200 n 8 1

Check your UART by itself. Connect TX to RX and type to yourself.

If you don't happen to have a connector built in already :p you can use some of the little black pins.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
what is the name for those pins to order them? can't find a product with name glowpins
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
They are 0.020" square pins on 0.1" centers.

Just take some wire and stuff them in the holes.

This does not have to be so serious.

The main thing is to see if anything comes out of there when you do a long reboot push.

My connectors are JST XH, but that's besides the point.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
I ordered some pins i can t get any output at the moment, cause the wires i used dont fit in the holes (can't put Them in and reboot, missing hands 😂)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Take the wires, strip them, stick them in the hole.

If it's not tight enough, bend the ends back on themselves and squish them a bit.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Tried that, but when i try to reboot, then wires plup out of the holes. My Window of time is to short to handle all (keeping nook open, connect all wires and reboot). As i already said missing arms 😂. Wires and pins are orded. When they arrive i ll drop another message. Thanks for the help you offertes untill now
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Aw, it's really not that complicated.

Just fold the wires back and tape them to the back of the Glow so it stays in position.

If you're comfortable with it, you can disconnect the three flex cables and the whole screen.

They just have slidey latches that you can push with your fingers.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Still waiting for the pins. They are in transit now.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Hi Renate,

I can't Get any response. The reboot is super fast. Takes only 10 seconds to be on the nook bootup screen again. This is my setup. Can you help me any further?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oh! That's the wrong connector!

The connector is on the far left side, 1/3 up from the bottom.

Look at my photo above, it shows the lower left corner of a Glow2 from the back.

For your colors it should go from top to bottom: <not connected>, green, white, black.

NEVER CONNECT THE RED TO ANYTHING!

You should be watching the Putty screen at 115200, 8, n, 1.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
I ll give it a try later this evening.

Thanks for your response and patience again.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Red one isnt connected to a pin. And putty doesn't show me anything. No Connection able on com 5 (rough translation)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
"No connection" means that you don't have a device or driver or something.

As I said, just with the UART adapter by itself, connect green to white and see that you can type to yourself on Putty first.

Until you are there, you're not in the neighborhood.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Thanks Will pick this up tommorow. I need putty to work first, and the step two.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Found the correct connector. Connected this way (see pictures) red lights txd, rxd light up. Ground light blinks. But still nothing in putty.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Your wiring looks correct.

When you say that the RXD LED on your UART lights up do you mean a single blip or a flurry that lasts 10 seconds?

Do you have "flow control" = "none" in Putty?

Have you tried to see that you can type to yourself on Putty with just TX to RX jumpered on your UART (no Nook connected).
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
This is what i get
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, trash is better than nothing!

You don't have the right baud rate.

I'm not familiar with that application.

You can do this:

C:\>mode com3:

Status for device COM3:
-----------------------
Baud: 115200
Parity: None
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Timeout: OFF
XON/XOFF: OFF
CTS handshaking: OFF
DSR handshaking: OFF
DSR sensitivity: OFF
DTR circuit: ON
RTS circuit: ON

If the numbers aren't right after you have used the terminal program then the settings are wrong.

You know, you can do a text copy of stuff or an Alt PrtScn then mspaint save.

That will make a smaller attachment.

I've got really poor connectivity.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Ya killing me with those 8 Meg photos.

So, what you got there is the correct u-boot for a Glow2 and it's from version 5.2

So, do a hard reboot and immediately start hitting the space bar a few times a second.

You should be able to get u-boot to stop at a prompt.

Type (in the UART) "fastboot"

Have you run fastboot from you Windows command line? Does it appear? Can ImxLink see it?

Get Neo Noogie out of the sig.

Type (to WIndows prompt) "fastboot boot nnglow2.img"

Do you now have ADB?
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
I ll try, the boot seq isnt easy to stop. But we are a few steps closer.

Sorry about the picture size
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Can not stop the boot seq. It seems like my pushing the space key isnt registrated. And it Just boots on. Any tips ?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Does the TX LED on the UART blink when you type?

Can you confirm that you can type to yourself?

Are you sure that the connection to the PCB is good?
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
And another leap forward
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Fingers crossed 😄
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oh, I didn't know you had a backup.

Yes, you can just restore that backup if you like.

If you do just ignore everything after this.

Ok, now all you have to do is install an update.

B&N just did an update without a version change.

http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/piper/5.3/piper/0.69/update.zip

(This is for Glow2, the white one only.)

First step, in ADB (in Neo Noogie):

# cd /
# mkdir cache
# setprop ro.product.device ntx_6sl
# mount /data

extract /META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary from update.zip

C:\>adb push update.zip /data/local/tmp
C:\>adb push update-binary /data/local/tmp

Next in ADB

# cd /data/local/tmp
# chmod 755 update-binary
# ./update-binary 2 stdout /data/local/tmp/update.zip

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
If it didn't stick as well as you wanted you'll have to replace the tape.

You'll need to power down the device and disconnect the three flex PC tabs.

Remove the old tape and apply the new tape on all four sides.

Eh, touch screens are overrated anyway.

Power off the device.

1) Hit the power button for two seconds, you get the little popup, "Power down" etc.

Either:

2a) Use adbgrab.exe /o90 /s.5 and click on power down.

2b) adb shell input tap 300 600

Move the little slidey thing to the open position.

Stuff the flex in carefully, fully & straightly.

Move the little slidey thing to the closed position.

Power up.
[Nook Touch General] dennisweelvdput:
Pretty hard. How do i open the slidey. Up, down?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
So it's 100% ok now?

I did clear up one mystery.

I had thought that your bad update had replaced your u-boot with the the one for the Glow3 because of that 0000/0003 bit.

After you started getting it working I saw from the "U-Boot 2009.08-00728-ga4ff22e-dirty (Jul 07 2020 - 23:34:40)" that it hadn't.

The Glow2 has the same 0000/0003 when it's in u-boot and the USB has not been initialized.

Edit: Sheeeesh, I learned another thing. Why the heck does B&N do stuff like this?

assert(run_program("/system/bin/dd", "if=/cache/u-boot.bin", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0", "bs=512", "seek=2", "skip=2"));

The u-boot.bin packed in the updates have 1024 bytes at the start that are not used.

You could have stripped it before you put it in.

A teaser for yet another utility (that I'll release soon):

root@ntx_6sl:/ # whatisit /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Matches Glow2 Neo Noogie 5857280 e6fe1f6b7d4c9ed74b7bed61d497803e

root@ntx_6sl:/ # whatisit /dev/block/mmcblk0 400

Just one more question: in twrp recovery i can Read and write to Windows 10. But if it is booted up in Android, it only Lets copieng to the Nook. I can not write from nook to Windows. It this a error of the USB Driver?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I don't know how you are "reading & writing".

Are you using UMS, USB Mass Storage?

That's a poor way to do things.

Your screenshots show a WinUSB interface, probably ADB.

But there is no information there.

Show me this:

# getprop|grep usb

I just use ADB for all operations.

I use my adbsync.exe for synchronizing content.

it's almost twice as fast to get into android. That's pretty cool!!

thanks for that tip, love it :)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I don't understand any of this.

My original (minor) complaint was that B&N distributed u-boot.bin with a useless 1024 bytes at the start of the file.

When the update.zip is installed that 1024 bytes is skipped by the installer before the file is copied.

Once u-boot.bin is on your device any modifications to it will cause it to not work.

I don't understand any of this.

Apparently you are using MTP to copy things to/from your Glow2?

I've never bothered to learn the least thing about MTP.

I use standard ADB for single files and to sync everything my adbsync.exe

C:\>adb push C:\Books\pg100.epub /sdcard

C:\>adbsync /a /v C:\Books sdcard/Books

Note: That /sdcard/ub was only an example if you had some unknown u-boot kicking around on /sdcard.
