My Glo finally started picking up that an upgrade was available last night. It locked up last night at 100% downloaded, so I thought I'd try the public library's internet tonight.
1st attempt, same as last night. 2nd attempt, just a few minutes ago, some delay at 100%, but then updated without issue. So maybe the files Murg reported changed made a difference. Yay! uh, Yea? Last edited by TechniSol; 02-21-2013 at 07:00 PM. |

still freezes over wifi (even after waiting 5 minutes to see if it did something after 100%, but nope)...and just like that other person had happen, the desktop app doesn't say there's an update to install. going to try the developer link.

i was able to update using the .zip file from the developer's corner. weird :/
when i went into the .kobo folder on my kobo, i noticed there was a file called "kobo-update-2.4.0.zip"...it was there from my failed wifi attempts. should i just delete that file now that 2.4.0 is already installed? |

I know ... it's just that so SO often I see people asking questions or looking for ways to do things via the GUI that could be done so much easier from the command line.

I have this exact same problem and I have not been able to update the software. It gets stuck through WIFI and the Kobo Desktop!
What should I do? |

I'm beginning to think this is just another undocumented feature of the new firmware designed to release the user from having to answer yet another "Are you really sure you want to do this?" prompt... At least the first time around.
