At least mine did, I must add.
If you update your new Aura using the Kobo Desktop application, it's easy to capture the download URL for the firmware file or to grab the file itself during the download. Trying to use this firmware file on an Aura HD didn't work all that well. I'm somewhat tempted to try using just the KoboRoot.tgz leaving out the manifest file and the upgrades directory as several beta testers have mentioned that is how Kobo delivers the beta firmware but will save that till I have finished a couple of new books and will have more time to play. As it is, my reading stats claimed 126 books read in 171 hours -- somewhat of a record for me without having done a factory reset. Now I'm back to 4 books and 6 hours.

Regards,
David
