This thread is for direct links to Kobo firmware.

Release dates are taken from the first post of the release thread or from firmware zip file date adjusted for time zones. The release date could be incorrect by a day due to timezone issues.

Versions tagged with a letter are different releases with the same version number, these letters are not official Kobo designators.

USE THE INFORMATION AND LINKS IN THIS THREAD AT YOUR OWN RISK. ALL OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS THREAD IS UNOFFICIAL. SIDELOADING OR CROSSLOADING THE INCORRECT FIRMWARE CAN BREAK/BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

Please read MobileRead's guideline on firmware links.

An index of the latest version for each device is two sections down.
See the Latest Release (officially targeted) section below

The versions of the firmware are listed in release order in this post, the latest is at the bottom.

The earlier versions have been moved to the second post in this thread.

Links that no longer work for a specific version are coloured Magenta.

Dark Green is for unconfirmed information (generally at the beginning of a release).

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Firmware Releases before (and including) Aug 2014 (3.8.0) have been moved to the second post.

Late May 2014 (3.4.1 for the Mini) is also in the first post as was the latest official release for the Mini.

WARNING: There are reports that release 3.17.0 required a clean device (factory reset) if you installed 3.16.10 on the device (other than the Glo HD). Please see the release discussion thread.

Aug 2015 Release - 3.17.3 - The Pissing on a Spark Plug release

Thanks to Cecell3000 for posting the release.

This is a general release.

Release Discussion Thread

WARNING: This release still implements Sickel, which can cause your device to spontaneously reboot whenever it detects it's taking too long to complete a task. Which can be often. Do not use unless you understand how this may affect you.

It is believed that this release has disabled sickle, which pretty much resolves the issues with it.

WARNING: There are reports that release 3.17.0 required a clean device (factory reset) if you installed 3.16.10 on the device (other than the Glo HD).

It's expected that this release has the same issue.

Please see the release discussion thread.
