Replace the deleted items with those from the .zip file you downloaded from links found in the Direct Links to Kobo Firmware thread -- pick the firmware version you wish to downgrade to from there. Safely eject your Kobo and let the upgrade procedure run.
Please note that if you use WiFi, your Kobo can and will automatically download the latest firmware upgrade so leave WiFi turned off. There is a patch to prevent firmware updates from happening over wireless (Block WiFi Firmware Upgrade) in GeoffR's patches but I've never used it so can't say as to how efficacious it is.
Good luck! |
Thanks DNSB! I've successfully imaged the Touch with a previous firmware - 3.17.3. The device is working a bit better, no more hard lockups, but now get delays while changing pages of 1-3 minutes. This is better than before - but still incredibly frustrating. I only synced it the one time after the hard reset with the desktop software and I never connected to a wifi network. Going to try 3.18 now to see if its any better.
Thanks again for the tips!
