Well. Pretending that I didn't fall off the face of the earth for a reason and that the world wasn't ending..
Let's pickup where we left off..
The OTG doesn't work.. And the internal usb port doesn't work..
Somebody has compiled a lshw bin and I used it and there was really nothing there..

Is this a different linux system? Or do I need to re-compile the kernel with different parameters to expose the other usb port?

I am using the port that is used by the 4G modem..
Also, does this imply that if I reflashed the thing with the firmware of the 4G model that this usb port will be initialized?

Also, the wifi and Bluetooth interfaces do not show in lshw
Does anyone know how the kernel is triggered to enable these devices?
I have to admit, I am stepping out of my comfort zone a lot and I'm thinking of just buying a blacklisted device from ebay and trying to transplant a bigger MMC and if it works I would carry over the serial and rom data from my good one and keep whatever is leftover as spare parts. (blacklisted because it will be cheaper since I will probably break the first one... Soldering 4 points with that thick waterproof conformal coating was tough.. And measuring "ohms" was hard.. Lifting, reballing and replacing a NAND bga would be a nightmare.. But I'm determined to make this the ultimate ebook reader.)

P. S. I'm also working on a nook classic.. Does anyone have any tips? Or a copy of the lost 1.7k cfw? Android 2.x never looked so great.

Almost forgot.. I took a copy of /keys/dh*.. Does anyone know what is that? And in /tmp/ there are ".partial" files.. A number of them in random alphanumeric chars.. Are there updates or just other logs or dumps?
