Augen The Book

QuantumIguana · 02-10-2017, 08:53 AM

I picked up an Augen The Book reader at a thrift store. I know, it's ancient, but it was cheap. So, I can charge it up, but all it does is go to a splash screen with a green leaf on it. I can't get it to do anything more than that. There's a reset button on the back, but it just goes back top the leaf screen.

Is it just a brick or is there anything I can do to reset this to factory settings or to root it?

We have a wiki page but I don't know if it will help you much Augen The Book. Perhaps you only need to add some books.

Have you tried connecting the Augen to a computer to see if it can be seen by the computer? If you have and the computer cannot see it, then yes it's a brick.

I hope you can return it if it is a brick.
