Also I did look at any type of nook source I could find and unfortunately found nothing that would even give me an idea (was kinda expecting that but still had hope cause both devices have e-ink screens) so for now I think I will try to figure out the MHL method I described earlier (as soon as I get my device ofc and find out if it does or not support MHL), it will not be a on-the-go usable recovery but if I manage to figure that out it will be more than nothing, we will at least have a working recovery, but to say the truth I have absolutely no idea where to start from, except that one device I have never seen a recovery with MHL/HDMI support so I don't really know how that would even work.
Unlike NST, these devices use a different method or function to draw in the eink screen. So, you could test the generic rk3026 TWRP (from freaktab.com) which should boot (I tried one) but I cannot tell if the MHL method would work or not. I think it is not really worth it to buy and use a mhl adapter in order to use the custom recovery of these devices. The tool which I posted in the other thread can create a full backup of your device and the stock recovery could be used in installing update files.
