Can someone please direct me to the proper FW 3.5 link for my Kobo Touch (N905B). The FW 3.5 links I have found in this forum indicate that it's for the Glo, Aura .... but don't mention the Touch. They also have all types of warning, so I'm a bit leery to try them.
AFAIK, there was no firmware 3.5.0 release for the N905 or N905B Touch devices. The Direct Links to Kobo Firmware list 3.3.0/3.3.1 as the last releases for the Touch N905/N905B until the 3.8.0 release. Use Touch N905/N905B 3.3.1 to download the 3.3.1 release.

You can try just using the KoboRoot.tgz file from the Mark 4 3.5.0 firmware release with your Touch. If it doesn't work, time for the hardware factory reset.

One item is that when downgrading your firmware, it's best to do a factory reset as your first step.
