Am I in deep trouble here?
Can someone help


THANX
The device.xml file in the directory has your device serial number embedded in it so the easiest way to get the file back is to do a factory restore of your Kobo. ADE needs to see that file before it will authorize the device. Before doing so, make sure you have a backup of any sideloaded books, your books from Kobo will be automagically restored. After doing the backup, since your Kobo is working, you can go the settings and select Factory Reset and Reset Now. Otherwise, you get the joy of holding the power button for about 15 seconds to make sure it's powered off, then hold the light button for the Glo or Aura or the home button for the Touch while you turn it on. Once the LED starts rapidly blinking, you can let go of the home/light button Since the Mini does not have a physical home or light button, I've never been sure how to trigger a hard factory reset or even it that is possible.

After you have it working and authorized, copy the activation.xml file to a safe location. After a factory reset or however else it gets destroyed, copying back to your Kobo saves you from using one of your limited number of activations to reactivate it. I really hate calling Adobe to get more activations.

Good Luck!
