sorry for the duplicate

Wondering if anyone has been successful at rooting the GL4+ here. I've enabled developer options and installed several reader and other apps through adb. I've attempted a couple of times to root the device via a patched Magisk boot image but each time after sending the adb reboot bootloader command (via Windows 10, only option) the device just freezes and I have to reboot by long pressing/repeatedly pressing the power button. I noticed in many of the rooting guides that enabling oem unlocking in developer options was not mentioned, but I have done this. Perhaps I am missing or overlooking something? Any help or guidance is appreciated!

The bootloader is not very demonstrative, it won't say, "I love you". You can only tell that it's there if you have fastboot running and the Windows driver installed correctly.

Code:

C:\>fastboot devices
fastbooot 12345678

Thank you -- I have used the adb and fastboot tool on the same computer to root a couple of android phones in the past and recently so I believe the set-up is good. Adb devices will show the Nook device, but I've tried fastboot devices but nothing shows up and the same behavior happens -- the device freezes and needs to be rebooted. I can't seem to actually get it into fastboot mode for some reason.
