Ok, good news. Using "fastboot flash boot nnglow21.img"and "fastboot reboot" I was able to get it into recovery successfully. This time "update-binary 2 1 /data/media/0/update.zip" worked and the device rebooted as expected. I didn't have to create recovery in /cache as it already existed. Upon setting up the device it immediately started updating to 8.1.4.45 and now it appears as if the device is back to oem as it's no longer rooted (assuming it was rooted in the first place, I couldn't check in time). Should I reattempt to root the device? I had assumed that the latest update was already installed and that it would be safe to connect to wifi. thank you

Oh, good.
Wasn't the update.zip that you used already the 45 version that I posted the link? Why would it update after booting normal system? In any case, you've seen that they make it almost impossible to get to "recovery". The stock "recovery" is only "flash factory". Edit: Certanly you can Magisk. I just used the boot.img extracted directly out of the 45 update.zip You can Magisk convert it then either "fastboot flash" or recovery & dd or like I did, just dd it in the rooted UART console.

The default "sleep" images are in /system/media/SleepImageNook.
The files are called 1.png to 6.png If you are using Magisk you can write a module to overlay those files. They are obviously 1072 x 1448 PNG images. If you don't like Magisk you can flash neoglow21.img (in my sig) to recovery. Then you can mount system and delete 2.png to 6.png and replace 1.png Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system cp whatever.png /system/media/SleepImageNook/1.png reboot Last edited by Renate; 05-11-2023 at 02:53 PM. |

Is it necessary for update.zip in the rooting procedure to match the exact version of the nook firmware onboard? I assumed this, but in my case I could not update from the listed 8.1.4.43(A) to (hopefully) match the mentioned 8.1.4.45 update. I also tried to predict the url based on the mentioned examples, but both /4.43/ and /4.43A/ variants didn't work.
Thanks |

Interestingly trying to work around the inability of my nook to upgrade over the air (see my previous post), discovered that the old way of manual update listed at this page kind of works on glowlight 4. So if I connect the device to the PC and copy update.zip file into to root of the storage drive then after disconnecting and about 50 seconds, Nook unexpectedly restarts and tries to upgrade the system. The only problem in my case was that the 8.1.4.43(A)->8.1.4.45 (downloaded from the link posted several times here and with https proto just in case) doesn't work with an error "Install failed'. It restores to the previous state, but mission was not complete unfortunately...

EDIT:
Don't know what I did, may be reformat mmcblk0p1 with mkfs? After re-flashing neo noogie and misc-rec, and several reboots, it now works and I have successfully updated GL4, it is now back to factory again. Thank you for the wonderful Neo Noogie. Please disregard the rest of the reply. EDIT END ** Hi Renate, I have done something wrong to my GL4 and it is now totally blank. I managed to flash neo noogie and misc rec. However, when booting into recovery, I did not see the Neo Noogie splash. I can access adb and when installing update, UDISK is missing. Code:
E60P54_android:/cache # mount -t t2fs /dev/block/by-name/UDISK /data mount: '/dev/block/by-name/UDISK'->'/data': No such device Is there any way to create this partition and proceed with the update installation? Many thanks! Quote:

Issues with trying to mount system in recovery mode
Quote:
So I ended up trying to do the second method and I used neoglow21.img to get the nook into recovery mode but whenever I tried the mount command, I got this back in the terminal: "mount: /system: mount point does not exist. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call". I'm not very smart when it comes to this stuff so any help would be appreciated on how to mount the system and be able to change my wallpaper. Also your past comments helped me out a lot in rooting my GL4, so thank you very much |

The "su" was to be addressed to the Android shell, not your desktop.
Code:
C:\>adb shell $ su # "su" only works for Magisk. The regular system does not have it, my recovery doesn't need it. Hmm, maybe it doesn't. Code:
# mkdir /system |

The su for the Android shell makes a lot more sense now. I also didn't realize that to mount the system, I should also be in the shell. I was able to download my wallpaper onto the Nook and hopefully mounted it. This is what I did: $ adb push wallpaperNook.png /system/media $ adb shell # mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system # cp /system/media/wallpaperNook.png /system/media/SleepImageNook/1.png # reboot But now I have no idea how to even get out of the Neo Noogie page or out of recovery. I was following directions on post #535 by jvscholz, but I have yet to find a way out of Neo Noogie. I am probably forgetting something quite apparent but I haven't been able to find a way out for the past few hours. Running the command: "# update-binary 2 1 /data/media/0/update.zip" leaves me with: "Unable to open '/data/media/0/update.zip': No such file or directory failed to map package /data/media/0/update.zip" even though I had previously downloaded it following the quote on post #535. If you could yet again provide me with any help, I would be greatly appreciative as I am at a standstill |

If you do have /data mounted you can adb push the file again. If you have /cache you can push it there instead. On other devices with big updates I just use an external flash drive. |

I was able to get out of recovery mode by putting the update.zip file into cache like you said and it worked. For some reason, using data didn't work even though I thought I had both mounted. After the update-binary command I could use the dd command and then I could reboot I had to end up re rooting the Nook which wasn't a big deal, but the edits I made to the sleep images did not stay, as everything was wiped. I want to try this again but I am not sure how to make the edits to the sleep images aren't erased when I take the Nook out of recovery mode. Are there any things I should watch out for if I follow your steps from your post #456 or is there a certain time I should be deleting the sleep images and replacing 1.png with my own? Or does doing the commands in #456 just reset the Nook? Thank you again for all your help! |

The update wipes out /system.
The sleep images were on /system. |
