- RESET AND UPDATE THE FW (if you don't just want to install nightmode, go to "6.") :
1. If your kobo is ok you don't have to do this point, you just have to update the FW and directly go to "2." ; this case is only if your device does not work anymore : reset your kobo with a paper clip, start it and stop it.
2. download and extract the FW (the .zip files) in a directory on your computer
3. stop completly your device and plug it to your computer
4. copy the file KoboRoot.tgz (don't extract it !!!) that you can find in the directory extracted at step "2." and paste it to the directory .kobo of your device
5. don't unplug your device, but first eject it and unplug it after... your device should power on alone, wait and do nothing till it's over => you should see some squares during one or two minutes : it's the update of your device in this new FW and at the end of start you are with the new FW !

- NOW THE NIGHT MODE :
6. power off your device completly (long press on power button)
7. plug it to your computer and do exactly the same steps with the KoboRoot.tgz of nightmode.zip (thoose steps are 2. to 6.)
8. test : a LONG press on the light button should alternate between the 2 modes
9. If all is ok, restore your ebooks on your device

NB : sorry for my bad english, I'm french.
