Hi Frostschutz

Thank you indeed for supplying your fix. Here is some feedback. I applied v3 to both my Kobo Touch eReaders, models N905B and N905C, but with mixed results. Both of them failed to do the second restart and istead remained on the black (inverse) clown.

I tried it 4 times times on the N905B. Interestingly, the second time it worked - stayed on the black clown but when I rebooted it after waiting several minutes and then mounted it on my Windows 10 build 10393, it worked and I was able to browse files on the eReader. However I then tried running the Kobo Windows app, but that displayed an error attempting to sync with the device. Thereafter I was not able to mount it successfully on Windows 10 build 10393, even after repeating applying the patch.

I applied the latest firmware 3.19.5761 to the N905B from Linux and then tried your patch again. Firmware upgrade was fine, but same result with your patch - black clown, can't mount on Windows 10 build 10393, mounts fine on Linux.

I can mount both readers fine and read their contents from Linux.

I look forward to your next fix, and thanks again for your efforts.
