I see this post : http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...=194206&page=2

And executed this commands:
Code:
rm -rf /media/rootfs/*
cd /media/rootfs/
tar xvzf /media/recoveryfs/upgrade/fs.tgz
So I ejected the microSD, put back in the device and restart everything. It works!!!!
You were lucky that it was something on the rootfs that was messed up and not the kernel. You can restore this with a dd command, but I think restoring an image is easier.

Now I have a new problem . I configurate the device connecting him to my PC and using Kobo desktop. Everything on the screen seems to be less black. Has more ghosts too. Maybe I messed up with the hardware while I was trying to get the microSD working??? Or maybe something weird about the files exchange on the microSD????

I got the firmware version now: 3.17.3
One of the complaints about the recent firmware on the Glo is that there is more ghosting than before. I think this started with 3.15.0 (or maybe that's the last "good" one) with more ghosting behind the pop-ups when reading. I think this has improved with the later firmware, but I don't use my Glo enough to be sure.
