I don't know of any root exploits for later firmwares, but I wasn't interested enough to learn much about it. I have seen websites that show older devices being rooted, so maybe some searching will find something that you can use. None of those details ever showed up here at mobileread.

I opened up my PocketBook Pro 912, but I couldn't locate any clear UART test points or pads (no labeled TX/RX/GND like on some newer PocketBooks).
The board looks pretty clean, but nothing jumps out as serial pins.
Has anyone disassembled a 912 (or the similar 902/903) and found the UART location?
Photos of the PCB with marked pins would be incredibly helpful!
I'm still hoping to get serial console access for root – from what I've seen on other models, interrupting boot at 115200 baud drops to root shell.
If there's another way to gain root on these old 9xx series without UART, that would be great too.Appreciate any help or links to teardowns!
Thanks!
