Im trying to get Android to boot on my Glo following angor00's guide.
I used dd on my macbook to transfer the .img to a Kingston microSDHD 16 GB class 4 card. But when I try to boot I get a couples of black flashes on the screen and the LED first goes blue, then white and the it flashed green a couple of time and stays on, and then nothing else happens, just white screen. When I try to turn it off again the LED flashes green once and then I need to use a paperclip to reset it to book back into Nickel.
Do I need to get to a windows machine and use the Flash Drive Image Writer, or can anyone confirm that it is possible to install android onto the Kobo Glo using a Mac?
