On running the 3.17.3.bat file, It resulted in error, and I got a message at command prompt saying:
Cannot find or extract "nickel"
Did you copy kobo-update-x.x.x.zip to C:\...\3.17.3_source?
... and no target folder is produced.
Where am I doing wrong?  Please help. |
There are several ways to combine the two patches. I describe below what I think is the easiest way for the current case.
I use
patch_kobo_3173 to refer to the base folder of
GeoffR's patch, and
KBPatcher12_3.17.3 to refer to the
bad eyes patch. Depending on how you extracted the archives the folder names might be different on your pc.
Start with the bad eyes patch:- copy the original KoboRoot.tgz to KBPatcher12_3.17.3\3.17.3_source
- double-click 3.17.3_no_packing.bat (This will create the patched files without packing them into a tgz file)
Then do GeoffR's patch (Be aware that this works only with the windows version in this way!):
- copy the original KoboRoot.tgz to patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source
- copy the newly created libnickel.so.1.0.0 and nickel from KBPatcher12_3.17.3\3.17.3_target\usr\local\Kobo to patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source
- create an empty file nickel.patch in patch_kobo_3173\3.17.3_source (This will tell the patcher to include the nickel file into KoboRoot.tgz)
- double_click (patch_kobo_3173\)3.17.3.bat
- copy the newly created KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo of your device
I hope that this works for you!
Edit: If you follow
surquizu's advice, you have to apply both KoboRoot.tgz files . First, copy Geoff's KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo and let the device restart (otherwise you are loosing the patched versions of libadobe.so and librmsdk.so.1.0.0), then copy the bad eyes' KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo and let the device restart.
