Normally it would start saying, "You are only 6 taps away from developer!"
Hmm, about now I'd be looking for an internal UART on this thing. There could be some secret gesture or password to enable USB but you'd never find it at random. Do you have an update for this thing? It's old, it should be easy to hack. Or does it use an SD card for the system software (like Kobo did)? |

Yeah, there's a Spanish YouTube about the UART on this.
It's clear enough, but you'll need a USB UART adapter. |

Oh, this is not Android.
So, forget about ADB. The UART can get you something to type to but it's going to take some looking to figure out what's wrong. This came out in 2016. The domain "bq.com" is up for sale. |

AliExpress cable. I suppose this one might work. It seems difficult to me. |

Mmm, I think it will be difficult.
Getting it to talk to you is not hard. Figuring out where the problem is might be. Did you replace the screen yourself? You're going to have to rip off the bezel, then replace the tape later. You know, that's kind of an old device and it's not supported. Do you know if the battery is any good? That's another headache. Both your old and new display are equally "dumb". They can't say what they are. So the display is not the problem. Ha! I know what the problem is. This puppy is NTX. That means it relies on NTX HWConfig. Somehow that got corrupted. You should even be able to alter that in u-boot. Certainly with mmc utilities, maybe it has hwconfig utilities too Gosh! I wish somebody had a utility for dumping those configs. ![]() Code:
C:\>ntxhwcfg hwcfg 0b Version 2.7 0f Size 63 10 PCB E60QL0 11 KeyPad NO_Key 12 AudioCodec No ... 2f DisplayResolution 1024x758 ... 4e GPU NC Too bad that we have to wait a week for it to show up. You're going to need some header pins because the cable is female. Not these specifically, but whatever. Last edited by Renate; 06-18-2025 at 12:54 PM. |

The battery seems in good condition. The old screen was the original and was cracked, but what I could see wasn't reduced; the size was correct. It was ED060KG1, as it should be. I used the ED060KC1 the seller gave me, and he assures me it also works for the Kobo Glo HD (which originally also had the ED060KG1). |

As I've said, the screen's not the problem.
So, are you going to order the USB UART? What's the ETA? |

Maybe I'll try transferring the KG1 from the Kobo to the Cervantes, and the KC1 to the Kobo. |

This is not a broken substrate in this case, Jon. Please allow the conversation to move on to what it it actually might be.

I've swapped the screens.
The Kobo, now with ED060KC1, is still the same... perfect. The Cervantes, now with ED060KG1, is still the same... reduced image. The problem is the Cervantes. If I get the USB UART adapter (I think ADB installed on the PC is no longer useful), what's the next step? |
