Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I am very glad to be here. Been lurking for weeks. I expect a Kobo Aura One to be in my hands in several days. I want to install the latest KSM and KOReader when I'll get the device. Could you review and correct, if necessary, the install steps I have gathered from all the different posts to make the whole process easier for myself? I've inserted the text in a spoiler.

Spoiler:

Kobo Start Menu

Preparation

1. Make sure that your reader is fully charged and generally in a good operating state (for instance, there must not be any problems with a corrupted database etc.)
2. Switch off Wifi
3. Check that enough free disk space is available on the reader
4. Download the archive KBStartMenu_08.zip to your pc and extract the content

Step 1

1. Connect the Kobo to your PC
2. Copy the folder kbmenupngs to the root of the device (e.g. K:\)
3. Safely eject the Koboreader drive and disconnect the USB cable
4. You should then see the “Processing” message on your Kobo
5. Reboot your device
6. Check that all images (exit_nickel.png, switchtokoreader.png, etc.) are listed in the library and their thumbnails are displayed there, and at least once as tiles on the home screen. Only then proceed to step two.

Step 2

1. Connect the Kobo to your PC
2. Copy KoboRoot.tgz to the folder .kobo of the device
3. Safely eject the Koboreader drive and disconnect the USB cable
4. You should then see the “Updating” message on your Kobo
5. Wait until the update is finished (do not interrupt it, even if it takes some time)

Aura One Patch

After the installation KSM should run on your device, but missing some functionallity.

Preparation

1. At this point do not forget to select "tools" > "activate" > "set runmenu settings.msh" > "always" (as described in the first post)
2. "start nickel"; when nickel is running, connect via usb to the pc
3. Install the patch for Aura One.

Steps

1. Update to the latest firmware before installing KSM 08
2. Extract KoboRoot.tgz from archive KSM08_ext_aura_one_04e.zip
3. Copy KoboRoot.tgz to the folder .kobo of the device
4. Safely eject the Koboreader drive and disconnect the USB cable
5. Select (in KSM home) "handle update" > "install update" (do not select "install partial update")
6. Wait until the device has rebooted

Koreader

1. Download the latest stable version of KOReader newer than v2015.11 excluded or a nightly build of KOReader
2. Extract the koreader folder of the zip into the .adds directory of your device

Is there a chance to brick the KA1 even if I follow the steps 100% correctly?
