Take it with a grain of salt since I've only tested with my H2O, and only with a Win10 virtual machine, not a real Win10 PC.

Just because it works for me doesn't mean it will work for you. Use at your own risk.

Backup your files first.

To install, copy KoboRoot-fatpatch.tgz » .kobo/KoboRoot.tgz

[yes you have to do that on a PC that still sees the KOBOeReader drive, or with a Linux LiveCD - someone else will have to find/write a Windows program that does this directly in Win10]

After installing the mod, the reader will reboot, display a fat clown, and reboot again. At that point the mod performed the changes and removed itself (you have to reinstall the mod to re-try), and things should just work.

If you use this, please report back whether it worked or not.
