Try downloading Microsoft's UsbView from. Oh! Be sure to overwrite your serial number on the text dump. Run it and select the Nook on the left pane, select all on the right pane and copy it here, please. Try downloading Microsoft's UsbView from here. You are not going to find an ADB without modifying the INF file for the ADB driver. Try rebooting the Nook with the USB connected to a PC. Presumably it presents a single USB interface and one UMS volume. They have been using the PIDs sequentially, so 0007 is expected. I'd be interested to see if/what is on the bottom of the PCB. There is a missing IC at the top which could be a TXB0104 level shifter for a UART. ![]() Some of the tiny gold contact points near the OMAP 3621 processor could be. No, those four point that you circled are definitely not JTAG. ![]() ![]() There might be hope for having Bluetooth. They are using a different WiFi module than the Jorjin in the old Nooks. It seems to be the same hardware basically. It's really interesting how they reformulated the Nook to use the small PCB. I know it's not much, but hopefully this information will spark some ideas from people with more experience in cracking these devices! If anyone else has additional information to add, please post it here. I created a picture with the four unmarked pads + Ground marked. That seems about right, as apparently most JTAG interfaces have either 4 or 5 lines, plus Ground. One of the things I noticed was four unmarked copper pads on the board. I don't know much about hardware hacking, but I've heard about JTAG ports being used to get inside of plenty of Android devices. Hopefully it will be enough to spark some ideas, at least. I didn't want to chance breaking it, as I can't really go and buy a new one right now, so it's not torn down to the individual components, sorry. Since there does not appear to be a NGL teardown annnnnnnnnnnnnywhere on the whole wide Interwebs, I took some amateur photos of mine to share. I took the back cover off to see if there was a magical "press here to root" button. ![]() There seems to be no information out there anywhere about 2080:0007, unfortunately. The USB VendorID is 2080, and the ProductID is 0007. It shows up as a regular mass storage device. I plugged it in, but ADB does not recognize it. Frustrating!Īnyway, in an effort to get the ball rolling, I will post the little bit that I have been able to find out about my NGL. Any time I google for Nook GlowLight, 99% of the results are instead about the completely different product, Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. Imagine my surprise when I could only find a couple of threads about it at all, with almost zero information! Finding information is definitely hampered by the name of the device. I just got a new Nook GlowLight (NGL), and came here assuming I would find all sorts of wonderful information about rooting it, and cool hacks I could do to make it more usable.
