</Patch>
I tested and it's working ...

but question:
this code can cause problems with account kobo (blacklist) or device serial number ??


sorry English (using google translator)
Tried the patch on my aura HD to disable the auto updates and the patching itself worked fine.
But like the picture shows, the software version changes into 99.10.0
All the books work great but when using Calibre, it says:
"kobo database version unsupported" and calibre stopped working (Calibre 1.35.0 )
Tried the alternative strings, they all patched okay, but changes the software version into one Calibre doesn't recognise and refused to transfer books to or from the reader.
So after all, it doesn't seem such a good idea to use this patch.

I do want to use the sync, so just changing all the urls doesn't seems to be a good idea also.
