One comment about changing the serial number, be careful, as just changing the two letter may create an existing serial number used on another device (it's unlikely but could happen) and in this case if they haven't changed their backend it could led to strange behaviour is some condition.Also DO NOT CHANGE anything else than the first two letter or you may break things on your device (I know that some devices use the serial number to check if some functionality are available or not)Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hi,I just bought the Nolim+ HD plus in Spain and I would like to boost the firmware. Your tutorial is clear but I wonder why you changes CF616 to BK646.
The S/N of my Nolim is CF646. Should I leave it like it is, or should I change it to BK616? I mean, why you replaces the 1 in CF S/N by the 4 in BK S/N?Another question: 'now you can also check for officials upgrades (connect to wifi and wait) of your cybook muse'. Where you able to receive an official upgrade after the 'un-downgrade'?Thanks a lot in advance your help,F.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hi,I was near to give up thinking that the Cybook is ever rooted and today I stumbled over your blog entry: great!
Thanks for your effort.Unfortunately it didn't work with my device:/ Probably I messed up the upgrade sequence.I have a Cybook Odyssey HD Frontlight (a german Thalia branded one).I installed the.bin file as instructed.Then (without a reboot!) I connected Wifi (which I did first time after 2 years or so), so at first a firmware upgrade was offered. At first thanks for your quick support!That's the content of report.txt:-snip-Test presence of dropbear executablesdropbear n ls -l /mnt/root/usr/sbin/dropbear-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178756 Feb 11 19:38 /mnt/root/usr/sbin/dropbearOKdropbearkey n ls -l /mnt/root/usr/sbin/dropbearkey-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178756 Feb 11 19:42 /mnt/root/usr/sbin/dropbearkeyOKTest presence of /etc/dropbear n ls -l /mnt/root/etc/dropbear-snip-So binary and key is in place, but config seems to be missing?

Well, i'v been trying to investigate how to draw into the screen of my Nolimbook, but i don't know what to do, i'v decompiled some of the binaries that draw into the screen (for example, eps-display), and all i'v discovered is that all these applications use the Linux Framebuffer to draw into the screen (I think with DirectFB). All these applications use /dev/fb0 as default framebuffer, but it doesn't work for me if i compile an application using that framebuffer, i can't draw anything into the screen.Any help is welcome!Greetings!!Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
I'v investigated a little bit more.Display is driven by a driver made by Allwinner for the A13 (sun5i) on the Sunxi Linux kernel edition for Allwinner. Hi Greg, very nice and elegant hack!But for the moment I haven't been able to apply it on my Ocean.' Update file designed for another device' it says.I've also been looking for reverse engineering the Cybook Ocean but with a software approach, tweaking the DB's and trying to modify the contents of visible files into the mnt/fat/system directory.I would be interested if you'd have info about Booken's software and the way it works!The goal here is to personalize the homescreen and also the 'library' DB file.In the meantime i'll try to apply other versions of your jailbreak!Best regards and keep on hacking this way!Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
Hello Imants,I'm very surprised. As I see here (it seems that it's a re branded Cybook Odyssey (can you confirm it?).The procedure you applied is good. I retested it to be sure. When I copy the 'All firmwares' (jailbreak0cyboy.bin) to my Odyssey (at the root of it) with the name CybUpdate.bin, I get a notification about a new update.Don't know what happens. Can you send me by email your S/N and firmware version?Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hello and thanks for your reply! The link you provided is polish one but it looks the same as in picture and its rebranded like you said.
Here is the link to swedish one checked my boo reader version and its 4.0 and why i want to jailbreak is to remove the branded version. Is it possible? Because they here in sweden are not providing any update and the e-reader is freezing and laggy all the time so i want to try your version. What is your e-mail?Thank you for your time!Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hi, thanks for your efforts.I have a Cybook odyssey and since the last over-the-air update it's in error and I can't use it anymore.It booots and then shows an error message telling me there arer issues with the files on the reader and I should remove them.I formatted the drive already and it's the same error.I hoped that putting the CybUpdate.bin file on the reader would trigger an update and fix the issue but nothing happened.Maybe you've got an idea on what I could try?Bookeen's reply was to send them the reader for repairs.Cheers.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
No I didn't.I tried 'un-briking' the reader by putting your backup file on the root of the USB drive and restart and that didn't do anything.I tried copying the backup on the SD card and restart and that didn't do anything either.I also tried rebooting while holding the button and the reader seems to do some extra filesystem checks.It ends up with the same error message though.Maybe I'm doing it wrong and I need to do some magic to get the reader to update from the CybUpdate.bin file.Thanks for the quick reply.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hey Greg i would like to thank you very very much. Hi,I just bought a Nolim HD+ device, a clone of the Booken muse. I'd like to install the original Booken firmware on it. It seems that the first step is to jailbreak the ereader.The firmware that is on it right now is the 6.3.2407. On the other hand, the file that on this blog is for FW version 6.3.2326.
Should it work anyway? Or is it better not even to try to flash it, as the e-reader could be damaged?I'm not new at flashing when it comes to mobiles phones and stuff, but this would be my first time for an e-reader, so I feel like I need a bit of guidance.Thank you in advance.F.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
Hi Greg,thanks again for your reply. Sorry, I'm probably becoming a bit more stupid every day, but I still didn't understand if I can safely install:Cybook Muse/Odyssey essential/Odyssey frontlight 2/Nolimbook: 6.3.2326in my Nolim hd+ with firmware 6.3.2407In my understanding, installing it will only add SSH+Jailbreak, without touching the already installed firmware, right?My concern is if the patch with build 2326 would work on my 2407 build, or if it could brick my ereader.Thanks a lot in advance.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hi!I've tried your modified firmware on my Frontlight 2 - it was definitely a downgrade, and apparently everything went fine, BUT.For some reason the following happened:- Display colors are inverted- Display has white vertical lines every few mm's- Touch screen does not work- Putting the device in sleep mode crashes it and rebootsFunny thing is, the inversion/lining only appears AFTER boot, the boot splash has no such issues. So I'd guess it's a kernel issue.Do you, by any chance, have a later firmware for the Frontlight 2? With, or without your SSH additions.
It'd be greatly appreciated if I did not have to return my device saying 'it happened overnight'.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Well, if this happen even with the original firmware, I would guess there may be an HW problem then.
I tried that FW on a rebranded Nolim+ HD and (aftern changing the S/N) and it is working beautifully.With the original FW installed, you can surely ask Bookeen to fix the reader (yeah, you can say them that 'it happened overnight').Anyway, you could also try to contact their support hereare very responsive. Obviously don't tell them that you tried to root your device.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Thank you so much for your work! Harry potter games free download. Like another commenter, I also own a Saraiva Lev which is based off the Cybook Muse (weirdly, in an Odyssey shell).I managed to poke around with SSH and SCP and eventually clone the root for backup (but haven't tried dumping all NANDs yet).I would like to know if there's any way to reflash it with the original Cybook software? Saraiva locked it out to their own e-book store and removed the web browser, which I'd like to use.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hi, sorry for dumb question.I've red your article and decompressed latest beta firmware (2350 build for cybook muse).Can you or someone else give me a hint about where UI files are?
I looked at almost all files and can't tell from their names which could be related to the UI (except icons).I want to try to change default store link. And if it's possible also get rid of screensaver's warning about sleep mode so one can see the whole screensaver picture.Thanks.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Second try and the update finished, device rebooted. Touch screen is out of calibration, or it appears to be. In the middle of the screen touch is detected to be one row higher than it actually is.
In the lower part of the screen difference is far greater. If press the middle key and try to touch 'Start/beginning' or whatever the go to base mode is, the touch is registered on the 'library' level and a book is opened. I will try to work this out and report back.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. I'm not sure it is the firmware package itself or maybe it is the device I have. I just got another Muse HD, firmware 2538 like the previous one I have now in unusable state.
Could be that 5538 is for Elisa Kirja (bound devices.I have access to a third Muse HD which I bought for my wife, but as she has not activated it yet I have not been checked its firmware version.At the moment I am not able to offer more information, but I plan to do some more indepth studies and report back.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Houston, we have a problem. I do not blame anyone because I knew I was taking a risk.
Nolim XL (Cybook Ocean) Attempt to root with the first files of the list of downloads: it indicates that initiates the upgrade but this does not finish. With the 3rd or 4th file the upgrade is finally completed but. Once the screen is restarted, it will appear faded with horizontal gray lines. I try upgrades again with all the files (including 'Cybook Ocean 6.2.2316' and 'Cybook Odyssey backup 6.2.2316'.) All them complete the upgrade but none return the screen to its correct resolution (?). Any solution? I give the device by bricked? ThanksAuteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
The result with file '6.3.2536 for Muse' is partly better and in part worse. I explain: the screen returns to its white background again. Finally disappear grays horizontal lines. But instead the device does not start: the screen shows a drawing of the device in a horizontal position and with two arrows forming a circle. I interpreted that they invited me to restart the device but, when I do (long press on the start button), it returns me to the same drawing. What do you think, now that I have the screen 'clean', should I re-test the file 'Cybook Ocean 6.2.2316'?Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
Well.Toni, try the SD card recovery: once the device is in FEL mode, I don't know what to do, Greg may have an idea?For the quality, I can't say for sure exactly, but in the last 4 years, Bookeen seems to had a huge turn over on the firmware side so. I would not be surprised that the quality going down is not related (I'm sure they lost at least 3 person on that role in a couple of years)And you know my point of view, but the muse and derivative have a really bad firmware. (BK went from a nearly full control of the hardware/software to going back to ODM)Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Thanks for the link.
Extremely interesting. Muse has serial port on pcb (pads), with TTL level signals. Haven't yet gotten around trying it out, still waiting for parts. Plan A is to use spring loaded test pins to connect to the pads, I would like to avoid soldering just for this.
Plan B is to solder wires on the pads and see what happens on terminal when the device boots up.It depends whether or not there is a bootloader and what kind on the allwinner chip, but as there is the serial port, there might be something useful.I prefer to try plan-A, as that would enable me to connect to other Muse's I have available without a mess on PCB.There's even plan-c: desolder the emmc and connect it on, say, raspberry pi. This way you can install just about what ever you want on it.
Then just solder it back to the original device. Your link just gave another option to try.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hey Greg, thanks for your work. I installed your jailbreak on my Odyssey FrontLight 2, and the root access and ssh server work. Unfortunately, the colors are now inverted and every second line of pixels is blank. I tried to install other versions, 2322, 2326 and 2350 (with and without jailbreak), but the problem persists.
The splash screen is still working as it should, but after booting the lines appear. This makes me suspect it's a software problem, and not a hardware fault. Could someone maybe help me with this issue?Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. Hello Greg,Which jailbreak version should I use for Nolimbook XL.
What I understood from the discussions is that Cybook Ocean is not similar to Nolimbook XL in terms of the hardware. And Toni bricked his machine while using the Cybook Ocean 6.2.2316 version. When I download the file now I get 6.2.2317 version. Is the problem solved now with the new update?I have also downloaded the ISO of original Nolimbook XL rom.

In the case of a failure, should I just copy paste the files in the root folder?(Given that the read will still be detected in my PC). Thanks in Advance.Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire. First, thanks a lot for this amazing work. I'd be happy to try, but I'd like first to make sure I can go back to the old state if something goes wrong, so I'd like to try to connect to the serial interface and do a dd of the eMMC/all partitions. And it seems to be useful for you as well, so if I can help I would be happy. However, I'm very new to this kind of stuff (I just used UART on some raspberrypi before), so some documentation would be super useful.I have a UART to usb device, and my book is standard Nolim, AWA13, 1G, build 6.3.2553. Do you have any instructions thut explains how to open the ereader without breaking it, how to connect to the serial port (which pin is the target?), and what to do to copy the eMMC?Thanks!Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
The adb method works greatly! I had root access in a second. Thanks a lot! So as KotCzarny said (thanks a.lot. to him), I'm running a Nolim AWA13 (Allwinner A13) with id cf677bk. Serial number, on build 6.3.2553. The ereader as a Carta display and is more recent I think, it has a full plastic cover all around it.
This adb method is great if you want to avoid to break the plastic by opening the case or brick the device. I also maid some dd of the card, if anyone is interested let me know (I don't have much space online, but if you want to host it feel free).My next goal is to try to see if somehow I can use the browser + adb tcp to get shell access directly from the browser, or use some tricks to find a way to run my own programs on it, maybe by watching some specific files, like 'run my program when the book XXX is on page YYY'. But I also want to make sure it does not ruin the battery. Fun is starting!Auteur:e-mail.:Le commentaire.
