With what version of the Glowlight 4 Plus software did you successfully root the nook, for example 8.1.7.38(E)/6.6.7.11?
I found that the version can be seen by touching the bottom left and right corners of the screen at the same time on the home page after powering on.

I'm still curious about this as well. Never succeeded in rooting mine after several attempts because the device would never go into fastboot mode. I've learned to use it without root but would still prefer to have it rooted!

hmm still no mention of a root

how much extra space did you get after rooting?

I'm having problems even starting the root process. I have connected ht enOok Classic to the wifi but it won't display anything in the Social page - just complains about no wifi (even though the wifi symbol is being dispayed).

Have I left it too late to root this device?

If you enable ADB you should be able to simply "adb reboot bootloader".
I have a NeoNoogie for the BNRV1100 (nnglow21.img).
I've never seen a BNRV1300 (which I think is what you're talking about).
I gave up on B&N years ago.

You didn't happen to do anything else did you? I ended up bricking it in the same way, it's stuck on update, I've had the fastboot flash of the stock boot.img queued up for almost twenty minutes and I've made no progress.

Is there a button I need to press or something?

I figured it out, at least one way, and I haven't seen it documented so I will put this here so that it gets scraped by search engines.

On the factory reset screen, if you hold all four of the face buttons *and* the power button at the same time for ~15 seconds, and plug in the USB *while still holding all these buttons*, that seems to get it into fastboot mode. From there I was able to flash the stock boot.img, do a factory reset, and it's back to its normal function.

Holding all those buttons and plugging in the cable is easier said than done. It helps if you have another person to plug in the cable.
