I solved it, but want to warn that the default option of the patch can do things that even the computer doesn't recognise the device anymore,and when you can't get onto it,you can't replace the patch by another one.
For sure it can all be a combination of windows version,virus check or other programs on my computer why this happened, or already patched things on the device that could trigger it with me,and not with you.
And every patch offcourse,is at own risk.
A factory reset could solve it,but that also can trigger a new firmware, and I am afraid that Kobo will build something in a new release that checks firmware and prevent you to go back to an older version and then you are in a whole new situation and have to wait until someone will find a patch for the new one... it all would be more easy when Kobo let the user deside to do,or do not perform a update, just display a warning that there is a new firmware and what it does,and let the user choose because now,when they choose to make something in the device I don't want, they can alter on distance the options on my device that I have now and change the behave I like,left me with only the hope I can reverse it by putting back the old firmware.
Someday I am afraid that going back to old firmware says something like "the firmware you try to install is older then the one currently on your device, operation aborted." |
If you are beyond the warranty period, you should consider opening the case and creating an image file of the entire internal uSD card. It might be worth it to have a way to recover to a fully working system with all your mods and alternative programs installed and working.
