There seems to be another way to fix a bricked Kobo Touch. I have the following model:
MODEL: N905C FCC ID: NOIKBN905C IC: 8857A-KBN905C I bricked my Kobo after I updated it with a wrong firmware (N905B-Firmware). After that it was stuck at the "restarting" screen. A factory reset (small pinhole in the back of the kobo) would only lead to a flashing green LED, but nothing more. So I suspect the Kobo tried to boot the wrong firmware and got stuck in this process. What I did now was: 1. Download the correct Firmware-Version and unzip it 2. Remove the SD from inside the Kobo and put it into my computer 3. Put the files inside the firmware-folder into the .kobo-Folder on the SD-Card (I'm on a Mac, but this folder should be the same for any user. If not, look it up in a tutorial for updating your Kobo manually) 4. Put the SD back into the Kobo 5. Reset the Kobo with the Pinhole-Method After that the green LED kept flashing until my Kobo was alive again. It's fully functional now. I hope this helps, as this method should be a lot easier than searching or asking for the SD-Image. |

Excellent, but the SD card is not available with Windows when it is outside the Kobo in a card reader.
Windows only sees the first partition of a USB device. And then there are three, the first two are Linux. (Translated from French by Google Translation) |

The .kobo-Folder is a hidden folder. You have to unhide the Folders in Windows to access it.
http://www.wikihow.com/Unhide-Folders-in-Windows-7 The .kobo-Folder is inside the Fat32-partition. I can't access the other two partitions on my mac as well. |
