As for the methods stated above, I tried them many times but they didn't work for me.
What have I done to get a bricked H2O? When I tried to root my Kobo H2O using the instructions here:

particularly these steps:
Step 1
- connect the Kobo to the PC
- copy the folder kbmenupngs to the root of the device (e.g. K:\)
- eject safely and disconnect
- check that the 3 images (exit_nickel.png, simulate_usb_connection.png, toggle_nightmode.png ) are listed in the library. Only then proceed to step two.
Step 2
- connect the Kobo to the PC
- copy KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo of the device
- eject safely and disconnect
- wait until the update is finished
I ended up with a Kobo H2O in an infinite boot loop. All I can see is the flashing white LED (slow blinking). The small squares (loading screen) that Cesco mentioned, didn't even show up. |
Are you sure you used the
most recent version for 3.3 to 3.8? The version in the OP there states it only works up to firmware 3.1.
