Everything gone well for a while, it has finished " upgrading" then while restarting it has been freezed, and my PC didn't recognize it anymore.
After that I did some research, then I opened up my Kobo, and fortunately it's an imx 507 revision, with an internal SD card in it. I've succeeded to take a firmware to it in linux by ubuntu rescue remix as I've read in an other topic, but it still won't work.
I think i need an image file of the whole SD card of a working Kobo Touch. (Of course I should have taken one copy of my card before I started, but I missed..)
Does anyone can help me?
Hi KoboJasi,

Oh dear! You gave yourself the wrong firmware.

Now that you have your internal µSD card out, have you tried what was suggested by HesselM here? If you can mount your internal µSD card, you should be able to put the files of the correct firmware in the "normal" partition in .kobo. Put your Touch together again, and startup. It should then install the correct firmware.

If it won't start up, try triggering a startup by plugging the usb cable in, that usually works if the on-slider doesn't work.
