More stuff to check: On the device, there is a file : \.kobo\version

The contents of my file is: KG3192300000B,2.6.35.3,2.0.0,2.6.35.3,2.6.35.3,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000310
(with the serial number obscured)

The first field is the serial number of the device.
The third field is the version of the firmware

In all three versions of the firmware I've loaded (1.9.11, 1.9,17, 2.0.0), only the firmware version number (field 3) has changed.

The questions:

Does anyone have a serial number that doesn't start with KG3? Does anyone have a serial number that starts with KG32?
What letters do people have as the last character of the serial number (mine is B).
I have 2.6.35.3 for the 2nd, 4th and 5th fields. Does anyone have different? or not the same number in all 3 fields?
In the last field, I have 310, does anyone have something different?

And, while I think of it, does anyone who managed to get 2.0.2 or 2.1.1 installed, NOT have wifi enabled during the update process?
