The SD card is a new Sandisk bought only for this and never used for other... and I've tried a lot of times to flash the image so...

The fact is that only the first time it seemed to try to install the last update (the one that should do the backup and set the "boot loader") but the card was not seen (maybe I had to use an other one and not that in which Android should have been?) the other times when I don't get the FAT32 error the update was not installed anymore: the file remained in the (.)Kobo directory untouched.

So recapitulating:

The SD is a Sandisk new 8 GB it doesn't say "class 10" but an "HD Video" logo that I suppose is the same
The Partition layout is OK and Mini Tool is not showing correctly some "magic" partition (what is? Something relative to Android?)
I need another SD to do the backup or the Android SD is OK?
How to know if Kobo firmware recognizes the SD card? I cannot see an Alert, an icon nothing
There is a way to reinstall all (delete the installed package? If I want to do it using ssh, no problem I'm a linux developer!) or to issue the command via shell?
The last partition of 1 GB that is apparently empty could be merged with the 6.5 GB one to have more space?

Do you could answer to my question on my post of 06-24-2014 06:01 PM?
Before resetting the device of the fabric status and retry the procedure again I want to understand this Androidification vail the pain or in the end for read is worst that the bugged internal reader and the poor CoolReader that
is so Cool to lose the settings when the battery goes down

?

Thanks!
