With this package you can download and handle patches from pipcat's
http://pip.cat/khd/kobo/ (see
this thread).
Installation:- extract KoboRoot.tgz from the uploaded archive, and copy it into .kobo of your device
- safely disconnect and disable usb
- select (KSM home) handle update > install update
How to download a patch collection:- enable wifi
- select (KSM home) user scripts > tests > returntests user.msh > khd download patches.sh
- (animation)
- you will be presented with a list of patch profiles. Choose one of them (see the attached image)
- (animation)
- if everything went well, you will get informed: everything seems to be ok!
How to apply the downloaded patches:- select (KSM home) user scripts > tests > returntests user.msh > khd apply patches.sh
- (animation)
- if you are presented with a full report, you can close the info screen by touching the middle of the screen and then choosing "close"
How to restore the original state of the device:- select (KSM home) user scripts > tests > returntests user.msh > khd_restore_original_state.sh
If you decide to download another patch collection,
remove first the already
downloaded patches:
- select (KSM home) user scripts > tests > returntests user.msh > khd_delete_patches.sh
If you are finished patching, and you are certain you do not want to restore,
delete the patch directory (this includes the backups of the un-patched libraries):
- select (KSM home) user scripts > tests > returntests user.msh > khd_delete_patch_dir.sh
Important points:- After installing any Kobo Firmware, you must run nickel at least once before downloading a patch collection. If not the scripts cannot correctly ascertain the current firmware version and will try (and fail) to find patches for a FW that does not exist at all!
- If you use this package, no patches must have been already applied.
Note: Downloading is rather slow. The bottleneck is wget!
