Hi, I have the Kobo One with firmware 4.1.7729.

It is the first time I would like to install KoReader, so I tried installing KMS08 first (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ostcount=221):
- Downloaded KSM08_ext_aura_one_02c
- Downloaded KBStartMenu_08
- Took kbmenupngs from the second download, moved it to the Kobo, and restarted. Verified that I saw the thumbnails
- Took KoboRoot.tgz, moved it to the Kobo, and waited for a restart.

Then, I just booted right into the normal OS.. Never saw a notion of KMS or nickel. Tried the same with the normal KMS (so not the aura one version), to no avail...

Any ideas?

EDIT: aha, I found https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=221 to be a bit confusing. At first it is mentioned that KMS08 should already be installed, but later it is said that 'if KMS08 is already installed, you MIGHT try to...'. So I assumed it would be better to install the special KMS08 for aura directly.

Anyway, it seems to be updating now.
