Hi. My Kobo is bricked after enabling USB-OTG in system while setting up XCSoar for paragliding. I have no .img for the SD card.
I have tried the factory reset using a paper clip in the tiny hole by the USB port and also tried the power hold and double tap on the screen corners. Still nothing on the screen although the power switch operates a red glowing LED,
When the Kobo is connected to my PC I can no longer navigate to the Kobo. How do you find the space to copy the .img file if someone is kind enough to send one along? I have downloaded an application called USB Duplicator Image Writer 1.0 from Virtual Console but it seems to require me to browse to the relevant location...

Any help you can offer (including the .img file) would be very gratefully received
PM Sent. But...

The pinhole is not used for a factory reset. It forces a restart of the device just like pressing the reset button on the front of a PC. The power-button-plus-tapping requires that the device starts from off. It is has hung, this won't work. But, if you have replaced the kernel, I have no idea if this will work.

To use the image, you have to open the device, pull the internal SD card out and mount it in the PC. Then use the image writer to write the image to the card.
