...freekobo tell us wether he did check that the SN was actually the one printed on his Kobo's box ?
Thanks ! |
Yes I checked, its my SN...and the part after the first occurrence (the manufacturer date i think?) is different.
Well, what I did was put KevinShort's image to a spare sd card.
I made an image of the second partition (recovery_fs) and then I applied the image over my broken second partition. I tried a recovery..it worked...and then it updated, I checked the SN again, its the same as it was when I got it.
I made a image of my sd..my SN has 4 occurrences...but on KevinShort's image I located the first one all 0's, the second one I found searching for 'deviceSerial' and located his SN, and then searched his image using his SN...it came up with 12 occurrences. BUT I searched his SN in my image, and was unable to find any occurrences. KevinShort's Image also has text from a book in it...which I found odd....
I have no idea what to make of all this, but ya...thats what I did & found.
Update: I also checked backup image from before I imaged over KevinShort's recovery and my SN appears 15 times in the image... weird... I also checked the image of the recovery partition I made, no SN at all that I could locate using a binary hex editor....
