Did you just copy the files of the .img? Or did you use the mentioned app (I used winimage)? You need to unpack the zip file, and then write the .img file directly to the sd card or else it will not boot.

Good luck,

I just downloaded the image file and copied it to the card (I used the program to make the card with an identical image to the one given with the android).

I've done the following steps:

Download the working Android image from this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=151

Get image writer from here: http://www.vconsole.com/client/?page=page&id=29

Insert blank SD card into card reader and put Android image to your card. If your card is bigger than 2GB, you can expand partition which is Fat32 to fill all your card space with this program: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-...n-manager.html

Switch off your Kobo Glo and open it as per instructions from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...48&postcount=2

Remove SD card from KoboGlo and put it into safe place. Insert there your SD card with Android image into KoboGlo.

Switch on your Kobo Glo.

I am a little confused: Am I supposed to install the android in the Kobo card (the one that comes with it)? I thought I had to install it on the extra card and then keep the factory card safe.
