Also, if we know which byte to write that makes all OSes happy and can survive a reboot (although probably not a factory reset), that could be put in a script and flashed to rootfs to be executed once (or even at regular intervals), and that could be one way for those with existing FAT32 partitions but who didn't back up their contents to recover without having to be forced to wipe everything (it would still require them to have access to a second working PC to copy the KoboRoot.tgz file over, though, unless this were to be the fix that Kobo ends up using and sends it to devices via OTA).
