@TacoGS: You are talking about two very different things.
The firmware links thread points to the location on Kobo server of the firmware upgrade packages. Normally, these are downloaded to the device over WiFi or using the desktop application. Then the device installs them over the existing firmware. These are only useful if you have a working device and want to downgrade the firmware or upgrade it early. While Kobo do not publish the links, it is fairly easy to find them and the files are on a publicly accessible server. And thread does have at least one link to a firmware package for the WiFi. There hasn't been many releases for it since the thread started.
The images are for people that have bricked their device. The images were created by someone opening their working Kobo ereader, pulling out the internal micro SD card and taking an image of it. That means they can contain files not in the update package and hence could contain copyrighted software. As such, posting them in a public location would be wrong. But, I feel that making them available to owners of Kobo devices to fix a major problem is a reasonable thing to do. So, the image files are somewhere, when someone asks I PM them the link to image. Hopefully it helps them and so far, Kobo have not complained.
And I have PM you a link to the image for the WiFi N289.
