  5. Copy the entire contents of the zip file to the .kobo directory on the device.
  6. Disconnect the device.

The zip file contains the following:
  • \Upgrade directory and subdirectories - Linux boot and kernal
  • manifest.md5sum - md5 hashes for the \Upgrade directory
  • KoboRoot.tgz - this is the firmware
