One way of modifying these files is by using the upgrade mechanism. Unpack the file "KoboRoot.tgz" from the FW update file, which you can find
here ,and then unpack its (KoboRoot.tgz's) content. After modifying some files you can pack them again into "KoboRoot.tgz" (you have of course to preserve the path of each modified file, but there is no need to include all the other files). Copy then "KoboRoot.tgz" to the folder ".kobo" of the reader. After unplugging the reader, it will copy the content of "KoboRoot.tgz" to the system partition. Confer the paragraph "The Kobo upgrade mechanism" of
"Hacking the Kobo Touch for DUMMIES". This part is valid for Glo too.
Word of caution: Preserve lower and upper case of file and path names (e.g. udev, not uDev).
If you mess things up, you might have to factory reset the reader. If you have a lot of annotations and highlights, you might consider making a back up of .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.
