For the VM, I don't really know. I have no real issues with doing this on a Windows machine. The only real advantage of a Linux machine is that you can mount the partitions and read the data directly.
For the serial number, you can use a binary editor to replace it before writing the image. The serial number is at offset 0x200. Setting it isn't that important. As far as I can see, it is used for very few things and if you aren't syncing to the Kobo server, it won't matter at all. |
Thank you David, very helpful...i think this may have been the original forum post i used to do this a few months ago (i have bookmarked it this time so i dont lose it).
I have no need to sync to the kobo server so am happy with not worrying about editing the hex code to change serial number. Having said that, I assume that when connecting to nickel and then running the kobo app on a desktop pc, this may be a problem? (or would this also not matter as long as its still my own username?)
kind regards,
Adam
