Hi there,

Having recently acquired a very cheap and almost new Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, I have been searching around the XDA forum collecting together as much information as I can easily find about the device and what it runs.

It is clear to me that development on the device has long since become almost abandoned here, many a year ago.

Upon reaching out here regarding my Nook rooting and customisation desires, @nmyshkin has without fail replied and been active and supportive, and with their help I have succeeded in fully converting my unsupported UK Nook into a (somewhat).supported US nook with UK localisation, newer firmware and full root and customisation.

I am now looking to start building proper step by step detailed guides, and a central list of resources available for the Nook Simple Touch / Glowlight, essentially a one stop shop for the majority of the available resources. This post may be edited to be that very thing, or at least link to it.

I am aware of the limitations of CPU and RAM on the device, however this does not out me off nor make me consider the device obsolete. I think there's plenty of room for improvement since the most exciting developments happened almost a decade ago now!

I hope you don't mind the mention, @Renate, as I have seen myself across the forum and in general discussion with @nmyshkin that you seem to be knowledgeable in this and other devices. Do you (,or anyone else) happen to have any answers to the following questions and requests which might assist in my development and learning endeavours:

Any known-good US or UK GPL sources for any NST/G firmware, preferably 1.2.2 or worst case 1.2.1?

Information about board pinouts, voltages? I am aware UART exists, maybe JTAG does on the same connector? Do you know what connector is on the board?

Known hardware names for Linux for things like the infrared touch sensor and EInk panel?

Is there a known way to completely wipe the entirety of the device (after a full byte by byte backup) and restore it to a fully functional state? By full I mean wiping/blanking onboard flash entirely, to the point the bootloader likely wouldn't start (unless it is in a separate chip? See next questions) and SD boot into CWM wouldn't work?

Is the ROM calibration, serial and MAC etc data stored in strictly read-only memory which couldn't be erased by tinkering or does it reside in normal flash?

Is the bootloader in a separate storage device or ROM, protected from tinker erasure?

Is factory.zip in a separate storage device or ROM, protected from tinker erasure?

Sources or binaries for custom community kernels, important augmentation APKs (like USB audio, mod manager etc) and add-on patches like FastMode/2, NoRefesh, USB Audio, Multitouch etc?

If there are any more questions, I shall ask them as a reply to this thread then append them also to this top post.

Thank you for reading and your time in advance!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Dunno. I doubt it.

See attachment.

/dev/graphics/fb0, but you can't just write to it and expect results. Touch = /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050/ledlevel See my Touch-1.0.apk for diagnostics.

The ROM bootloader always appears briefly, you can always boot an external image with corrupt flash. Look for the very long thread on my OmapLink.exe

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 = /rom

It's just a file somewhere.

Yeah, they're around. Host USB was always problematical but it can be done if you really like.
[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
HI Renate,

No worries, I'm scavenging what I can around and also I bugged BN over email. I know others have before me and success varies but it never hurts to try.

Wow, thats perfect, thanks! Do you know what connector type (which would've been soldered to the board) each pinout uses? I doubt theres any way to tell but like usual, worth the ask.

That infrared one is certainly interesting, hmm. More research and fiddling required I think.

Okay now this is pretty damn neat. I only briefly looked at OmapLink.exe last night, but from my understanding, the ROM bootloader is not U-Boot, but instead the Nook's (or rather TI's) permenantly chip-burned first stage bootloader which then loads U-Boot? If this is correct, thats a pretty major win for ease of recovery, impossible to break. Completely corrupt flash recovery is super handy.

I take it from my brief reading OmapLink.exe (or rather, what it talks to) is a very hardware-level permenantly chip-burned board management/recovery tool too, again safe from being messed up and great for recovery?

Ah, block 0 partition 2? Technically not ROM but overwritable flash memory then I guess... Doesn't matter if I take a full backup before tinkering though I suppose!

Very much like the not-so-readonly ROM then I would guess.

I do indeed have the kernels from various forum threads, but the sources, even for individual pathes like FastMode/2, elude me unfortunately, which makes creating new and full featured kernels harder than I am capable of tackling sadly.

Thank you for your responses, they are of great help!

Update on omaplink.exe

So, the whole Windows driver thing. It sucks. A lot. Especially on Windows 10. But I found a much easier method of installing the drivers than the one shown in https://xdaforums.com/t/full-root-for-nook-glowlight.2853056/ but still having trouble

We know the hardware IDs of the Nook are 0451 d00e

I downloaded a tool called USBDeview from https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html, which allows you to list connected and disconnected USB devices on your system. Searching for 0451 finds the (disconnected) bootloader device the Nook presents itself as when connected.

Right clicking on the device allowed me to open its properties. I then have to select Change Settings and confirm administrative request:

View attachment 5435207

Now I can go to Driver and install the BN USB drivers as linked in the original post (I reattached them here for convenience sake)

Except, Windows doesn't allow the driver as it is unsigned. Okay. Close all windows, open Start, open the Power menu and hold shift and click reboot. In the startup menu continue through troubleshooting and then get to startup options and choose option 7 disable driver verification.

Boot back up, do the whole USBDeview dance again, install the driver. Windows is happy.

Except, opamlink.exe is not.

When I start it up for Noogie using the instructions in the post, it starts up and waits perfectly fine. I shut the Nook down, wait a few seconds and reconnect it. Windows reports it malfunctioned (this seems to always happen before the bootloader shows up) disconnect sound, reconnect sound, and then opamlink.exe ignores it completely.

Nook continues to boot stock OS, at which point opamlink.exe sees it and does something, but its too late, we don't get access to the boot partition.

I am certain the bootloader appears at some point after the USB malfunction issue, otherwise Windows would not detect it for it to be listed in USBDeview and allow me to successfully install the driver.

Not to sure how to proceed with that one. I will test on another machine maybe running an older Windows and report back.

It would be nice if there was a Linux process for this. I'd love to make a Live CD for it.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
It's just a 10 pin 1mm SMD connector. The "ears" on different models don't match but you don't have to solder the ears.

I think that at the time SparkFun happened to sell both connectors and pre-made pigtails, but they don't seem to now.

Yeah, there is a brief period of time for you to latch onto the OMAP ROM bootloader and if Windows is being stupid with drivers it will fail.

I'm not sure if there are some settings to make it less stupid, maybe not scratch its head so much on new devices.

Zadig is another generic WinUSB driver generator.
[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
Thank you, I'll see if I can get some pigtail leads.

I take it with my other questions, since you have no corrections, my assumptions about your previous answers were correct?

Update again on omaplink.exe:

Windows 10 doesn't seem to like it at all. Or rather, the driver. I installed Windows 7 on a spare machine and I have made some great progress.

Didn't manage to install it with Device Manager - its way too quick! But I used my USBDeview method and that worked perfectly.

omaplink.exe was able to see the device and then transfer omap3.bin to it, received an a-boot response, send u-boot-ng2-exp-v03.bin to it and then the device disconnected.

It didn't got any further than that though unfortunately. Noogie doesn't appear to have started up, for no further interaction has occured between the PC and the Nook, and the Nook remains on its powered off screen. Replugging makes no difference. Holding the power button brings it back to life making it boot into the normal OS.

Also, a question about omaplink.exe - Is it open source / is there a Linux version?

Thanks again!

Edit: In this post you mention that the ROM bootloader checks the SD card. Do you mean the second level UBoot bootloader or the first level, unmodifiable TI bootloader?

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
With Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices, you can check/replace drivers for things that aren't currently visible.

UsbLog.exe (under my sig, up and in the Windows section) will show things popping up.

Likewise EnumUsb.exe does a dump of what has been seen and date of first appearance.

Well, that's what it's supposed to do. That's why it says, "Waiting for disconnect". Do you have drivers for fastboot installed?

It works fine for me:

[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
Indeed, I understand it is meant to disconnect, however it also doesn't reconnect and allow me to access the files.

I should have fastboot installed? I believe having the Android SDK should be enough for that, right? I have the SDK and also Studio installed already. I use it's ADB installation for ADB stuff, having added it to my path.

Apologies for my uncertainty, I am new to Android stuff in general, I'm more used to native Linux stuff. Thats why having so many recovery options is quite exciting and good for learning for me - I can tinker with it as much as I like without needing to mess with JTAG unlike other embedded devices.

Your output seems pretty close to mine so I assume that bit is working fine. Drivers seem to be installed fine now considering opamlink.exe is able to see the device?

USBDeview helped me there with installing drivers on a disconnected device by VID/PID, I was unable to locate the device in Device Manager even with hidden devices enabled - though it probably does not help I have so many disconnected devices on my system making it hard to find anyway.
[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
Further tried omaplink with another win 10 machine, it won't have it sadly.

Going to try another win 7 machine tomorrow.
[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
Based on this android developers page, fastboot is present, so I'd say yes unless you have anything on the contrary
[Nook Touch General] alexhorner:
A little more success with the second Windows 7 machine.

omaplink worked fine again, and this time after it ran, I got a new device connected 0451:CAFE instead of 0451\:D00E

No drives show up however. Maybe the copy of Noogie I have is incompatible? Not sure if thats possible.

Still noo luck with Windows 10... hmmm

Help!

I've gotten a diamond that will not let the rom be changed... When trying it says that the device id is wrong... So I booted it up in bootloader to find out which id it has and it just says:

MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30

Anyone have some idea how to change the ID so I can install another ROM?

Regards,

Xanh
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mattie01:
changes are the rom you are installing hasn;t been "signed" by olinex what rom is it? failing that try thier dev hardspl rather the the hardspl you have installed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xanh:
when I try to install that one (Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex), it still says that my device id is wrong after uploading to 100%...

After that the spl hasn't been changed in the bootloader screen...??

I wasn't trying to upload anything yet (ROM).. I wanted to sim unlock it, and uploaded the 1.40-OliNex to the phone... that's when everything started.... But my phone never told me it was locked, only no service when putting a sim card in...

When I install the RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition, then I get vertical lines in the screen and it doesn't do anything anymore... so then i can only reset... Or it uploads to 100% and says invalid ID...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xanh:
Anyone have an idea?

I can remember that my old qtec 2020i had a no-id update utility.. But that doesn't work on the diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
there are instructions to flash from bootloader somewhere... try that.

get ur device into Bootloader, then try flashing baisically.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xanh:
Isn't that what i'm doing when I use diamondcustomruu to flash the device? because it sets it into boot loader and tries to upload.. or is there another way to flash?...

In the device i can see that it is a diam 100, but when i look into bootloader it doesn't say anything about that.. Probably that's why i get the ID error...

Because of this I cannot upload the developers edition spl...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] louloudou:

Today I played a game Fps shooter automatically it was on high settings but I decided to go ultra and the game was 60fps.

Unfortunately while gaming I notice that was getting warm not very Heated but kind of warm.

Does anyone experience this? Is it normal or maybe I can try something to lower the temperature before gaming?

Thanks for your feedback!

[General Topics] 3mel:
the note 3 has forums here still probably visited by people who know all the best options that phone can take advantage of.

it's not actually that clear what you're asking for BTW, but I think older versions of magisk will be more up-to date than superSU. adaway sounds like something you'd benefit from and maybe even Xposed and minminguard to stop ads too. AFWall+ will stop all apps using the internet unless you want them to and save you data. you might enjoy a newer but still dependable rom too. all of this is free except for bandwidth / data.

the old xda advice is still good... read read and read some more. most questions you'll want to ask have likely been asked and answered before.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] efi2222:
Hello :)

I bought a refurbished 64GB Red HTC 10 off eBay. It came with Android 7. OTA says there are no updates available. When I enter download mode I see that the bootloader is LOCKED + S-OFF (guess they paid 25$ to get it S-OFF?) + CID 1111111

OTA doesn't work because CID is set to 1111111? As far I am aware S-OFF and OTA work together.

[General Questions and Answers] DipsiTheCreeper:
Please do move this to the correct thread, as I am new here.

So, as I stated in the title, I need help rooting this phone. I am familiar with rooting, flashing and all of that. But there is a huge problem with this phone, as I am unable to find the stock rom of it anywhere on the internet. There are no guides, either. It's like this phone doesn't even exist.

Another thing is, that this phone was modified in my country to be called "A1 Alpha 20", it's the basic version, not the Plus one. I'm pretty sure there are guides for the Plus one... But the name/model is Alcatel 3L (2020) 5029Y. The phones are the same, I'm pretty sure the Alcatel 3L rom would work fine on it, too. They have the same specs as well.

It's a pretty solid phone, with good specs, not sure why nobody is talking about it. Even my older phone, Samsung J5, has a ton of guides, and of course, I installed TWRP on it and rooted it a year ago. It's working good, even to this day.

So, I'm asking for your help here, I need tips on how to root this phone. I want to know if it's possible pulling the stock firmware out of it, or just rooting it without TWRP? I can't find TWRP for it either, I'm afraid there is nothing I will be able to do for now. I have access to ADB tools and a PC, if I can maybe do something with these. I enabled OEM unlocking without having to format which means that my bootloader was unlocked? If so, could that make pulling stock images easier???

Please help me out. Thank you. For any additional information (model, build number, all info that I can pull out using applications and such) just let me know and I will tell you.
