1) Basically, you need a clean (i.e, an un-patched) device.
2) Then you would download the patch files. With the current firmware this would create a directory like "G:\.adds\kbmenu_user\patchbase\3.19.5761_0e028f31 85" (if you look a it under Windows)
3) When you apply the patches for the first time, a sub folder "orig" is created, and the original libraries (libadobe.so etc.) are copied into it. These libraries are then used to run the patch files against, and also when you restore the original state.

If I understand you correctly you patched the libraries already at your pc and transferred them to the device (by using KoboRoot.tgz). In this case the original libraries are not any longer on your device and the above procedure (step 3) cannot work. You can however make it work: After you did step 2, connect to the pc, create the sub directory "orig" (so that you have "G:\.adds\kbmenu_user\patchbase\3.19.5761_0e028f31 85\orig), and copy the clean libraries (libadobe.so, libnickel.so.1.0.0, librmsdk.so.1.0.0) into it. Then disconnect and apply the patches (= step 3).

You can find the clean libraries in the FW update package, or in your source folder of GeoffR's patch, in case you still have it. Another option is, to restore the original state of the device with GeoffR's package (see his explanation under "To return your ereader to its original unpatched state:", in his first post). Instead of calling 3.19.5761.bat after disabling all patches, you can alternatively run "3.19.5761.bat restore" from the cmd line, if you use Windows.
If there is something unclear in my explanation, just ask again.
