- 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. |
Finally yesterday I did the test and here are my results:
- The update animation is a bit annoying because the continuous refreshment but I think that isn't important (anyway...)
- I see, download and select the update but... no options (or anything) when I touch unzip_FW_to_kobo.msh, only a little flash. Of course, no unzip at all and can't handdle update.
- Also I note that only can access to the downloaded file via unzip_FW_to_kobo.msh while WiFi is active but at this point it isn't necessary because just downloaded. May be interesting to show a list of downloaded updates at some point or with a script to list.
Edit: Like nothing show with unzip_FW_to_kobo.msh maybe that was a bad appreciation by me, by the way the list of file it's a good idea for me.
It's the first time I use the integrate options to download firmware and I think it's a great adition. Probably I will use in the future.
