Dear davidfor,

I created this account just to post here. Seems you are the go-to guy on the entire Internet. I've looked everywhere on the net and you are the only one who seems to have real solutions. That, by the way, shows how bad Kobo is in supporting their own product if they count on community for help.

I'm in the same basket, having an N289 that got bricked after a forced Wi-Fi update. All books lost, can connect to shop, unrecognised by Desktop, etc. In spite of countless resets I always get a "updating your software" on every boot

I tried latest Desktop version, the clipper-hole reset, software factory reset, etc....nothing works. Desktop won't recognise, shop won't load, nothing.

I also tried to find firmwares myself and cant see any. Very frustrated by Kobo, clearly there are many people in the same situation and the support on their website is just vanilla run-of-the-mill stuff and completely useless.

HELP!!!
