After performing a factory reset, I tried updating directly to 4.2.8432, same thing. Disabled all of the patches, verified the libraries in KoboRoot.tgz hadn't changed using diff, still the same behavior. I eventually reverted back to 3.17.3, and re-patched without issue.
Any bright ideas, or things I can try? |
I can't really add anything to what oren64 has said, it just sounds like what happens when you use a different firmware version for patching than what is on the device.
All I can suggest is checking that you have all the firmware and patch versions matchng, you can't use anything from your earlier version, you need to start afresh each time.
* Upgrade the device to firmware 4.2.8432 first, check on the Settings > Device information page that it really is running 4.2.8432 (fbb9e8f61b) before you start patching.
* Download and unpack patch_kobo_4028432.zip from post #1 of this thread.
* Download firmware kobo-update-4.2.8432.zip (from the
Wiki is probably easiest now, or if you upgraded the device manually then you can use the same one you downloaded then.)
