If you want some specific test tell me what to do.


As a side effect... NO MORE WINDOWS DISPLASCED
Thank you for testing and for the pleasing report. If you use the device for some more days, you might discover the one or other further bug. I just discovered one. No idea how this bug crept in. I do not upload the whole package again because of the one wrong letter. Therefore, please install KSM08prep02_update003.zip (from this post).

After you have applied update 3, you can do another test if you like. I just did it myself (and discovered the now fixed bug):

  • enable wifi (maybe with "wifi > wifi enable dhcp. sh"; if your network is not yet know to the device, and you cannot log in with "wifi ap scan.sh" because of the limited character set of the keyboard, please log in via nickel [KSM uses the same wpa_supplicant.conf as nickel does])
  • select "tools" > "kobo FW update.msh" > "check FW url.sh" (after a long delay, I was shown the download link, I read it and decided that I will download it)
  • select "download FW.sh" (the animation with its fullscreen updates is a little disturbing, maybe I should slow it down for processes that will certainly run for several minutes)
  • select "unzip FW to kobo.msh" (here was the bug that is fixed by update 3)
  • select "mark5 3.17.3.zip" (this shoud be the only option apart from return and return home, in my case it was "mark4 3.17.3.zip")
  • select "extract" (there are three options: extract, extract only tgz, delete. Since it is the correct mark FW for the device, choose "extract")
  • select "return home"
  • select "handle update" > "install partial update" (curiously the background color of the animation screen is now gray)
  • after the reboot: start nickel and see how you like it (sickel did not yet bite, so I let it live for now)

The procedure is a little long, I know. But you can control each step, and this is what I like.
