If KSM is already installed on your Reader

• extract KoboRoot.tgz from KBStartMenu_08prep02.zip and copy it to .kobo of your device
• eject safely, disconnect and disable usb
• select "handle update" > "install update"
• wait that the device restarts
• select "tools" > "activate" > "set runmenu settings.msh" > "always"

Done. (Actual filename is KSM08prep02e.zip, as this file has a KoboRoot.tgz)

Test: check database integrity

(from KSM home) select "tools" > "nickel diverse.msh" > "db check integrity.sh"

Done: Ok.

Test: KSM update 1

Spoiler:

• connect via "usb" > "usb enable.sh" to the pc
• copy KSM08prep02_update001.zip to .adds/kbmenu_user
• eject safely, disconnect and disable usb
• (from KSM home) select "handle KSM updates" > "install updates"
• wait until you see the information screen and follow the instruction there

This will copy updatetest/nothing_new.txt to .adds/kbmenu_user and updatetestdoc.txt to /adds/kbmenu. You can check whether it worked by
selecting (from KSM home) "scripts" > "browse" > "browse kbmenu user.msh" (there you should see "updatetest"; and if you select "updatetest", you should see "nothing new.txt")
and by
selecting (from KSM home) "scripts" > "browse" > "browse kbmenu.msh" (there you should see "updatetestdoc.txt" )

No such menu entries (updatetest or updatestestdoc.txt)

Test: KSM update 2

Spoiler:

• connect via "usb" > "usb enable.sh" to the pc
• copy KSM08prep02_update002.zip to .adds/kbmenu_user
• eject safely, disconnect and disable usb
• (from KSM home) select "handle KSM updates" > "install updates"
• wait until you see the information screen and follow the instruction there

This update will redo the changes done by update 01, you can check the result in the same manner as above.

I could not reinstall the same KSM update, "KSM08prep02_update003: you can install an update only once"

Test : KSM's power off screen for nickel

Spoiler:

• (from KSM home) select "tools" > "activate" > "x install ksm poweroff.sh"
• (from KSM home) select "start nickel"
• power off (with the power button)
• when the device has powered off, you shoud see the KSM power off screen

In order to redo this change,

• (from KSM home) select "tools" > "activate" > "x uninstall ksm poweroff.sh"

Pressing power for a short time:
It displays the current book cover.

Extended press: Powered Off (.adds/kbmenu...)

--------
Kobo H2O, 3.17.3, Nickel database was damaged some 3 times in 24 hours. KSM07 did have some upside down menus as well.
In case I can help you with running some other scripts/tests please let me know.
Thanks for creating/maintaining this useful hack.
