I unrared then unzipped the 2.0.2 pack and placed; KoboRoot.tgz, manifest.md5sum, & the upgrade folder in kobo/kobo folder on the device.
Unplugged the kobo from pc then it went through update proceedure.
Even though on the kobo it still says version 2.0 the above mentioned changes are very noticable.
Ohayo from Tokyo, a newbie here. I just bought a KT in Toronto, brought it back to Japan and it updated to 2.0 the second time that I synced it to the computer. It's working ok, a bit slow on the page turns, but not unlivable. I am wondering whether to try the Japan build or wait for the updated one for the North American kobo? is there a difference in the hardware? or just the firmware? Kind of afraid to plug it in to my mac, in case it upgrades automatically again... o.O;
