Are you sure you named the files correctly? Calibre should be able to see the database. Check to ensure that the database is about 100 megs. It is possible that you turned it on after formatting and it created an empty database file.

And yes, "KoboReader.sqlite" (about 98MB) is in .kobo directory. I really don't know what to do now...? |

Just want to let you know I fixed my problem!
Installing the Sqlite database is not enough. I had to re-install the firmware (v.1.4) and my kobo is now back alive! I followed these steps to install the firmware: http://bordersau.zendesk.com/entries...am-using-linux |

Tried to send a book to my wireless Kobo today using Calibre and got this error message:
database disk image is malformed Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 68, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 310, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 167, in books DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed Before I do anything I wanted to check that resetting the Kobo to the factory default state (using the instructions given above) is what I should do to fix it.

Hi I am having trouble with my Kobo. I started having "error connecting to device" when connecting to Calibre. It is the malfunction error. I tried factory reset but the problem is still there. I then tried to follow the instructions to remove Sqlite. Almost got it all done BUT when trying to delete the images folder...it wouldn't let me! In frustration I renamed the images folder so I could copy the images folder from the pristine?? zip file --- CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS WILL WORK? sorry with the caps...just want that line to be noticed ... not yelling... thanks for any help...

If you can't delete the folder, you probably can't replace it with the new copy. There is probably a problem with the directory or file permissions. On my Kobo, using the the Linux file browser, only the directory owner (me, not root) has any permission to do anything. If you are using Windows, you can still check the permissions - but I can't remember how, offhand. If you login to Windows as the computer owner, you will probably be able to delete the images directory.

It also might be that you have something pointing to that folder (a Windows explorer window for example, or a DOS cmd shell) or a file open for editing in that folder or one lower in the hierarchy. Try closing all other windows (if you're using Windows), and make sure that folder is not open in your current window, before deleting it. Try disconnecting (safely remove or eject) then re-connect it to clean out all locks.

1.8 version Db replacement instructions
Please note: unlike 1.4 in 1.8 you will replace 3 things: the entire images directory, kepub directory, and database.
JCKobo posted this elsewhere, but it should probably go here, as well: Quote:

1.4 is the non-wireless kobo firmware?
When you posted this are you referring to the nonwireless kobo...1.4 firmware? and then does this mean the 1.8 is the wireless kobo firmware? Can you download the 1.8 firmware on the nonwireless kobo? Thanks for this great info...
