I'm having an issue (I think) with installing KSM 08 (along with KSM08_ext_aura_one_04e.zip patch) for my Kobo Aura One (fw: 4.1.7729).

1. I can install the initial KBStartMenu_08.zip contents
2. All kbemenupngs are shown in the library
3. System updates itself nicely
4. I have successfully set runmenu settings.msh as always
5. I can also copy the Kobo Aura One patch (KSM08_ext_aura_one_04e.zip) contents (KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo)

However when I eject Kobo, remove the usb cable, then Kobo Aura One restarts by itself, says "Restarting" and immediately starts updating itself (without going into KSM). I cannot bypass this procedue.

After this self-update, I can get into KSM, but there is no option in the main menu of KSM to "handle update".

I've tried re-installing steps 1-5 from above, but I can never get to "handle update" menu option (it's never visible in KSM menu).

Additionally I have also tried:

1. Go into KSM Menu
2. Start USB
3. Copy Kobo Aura One patch from 2. KSM08_ext_aura_one_04e.zip (KoboRoot -> .kobo)
4. Disable USB
5. Remove USB cable
6. Power off Kobo from KSM
7. Power on Kobo (from power button)

... yet even in this scenario Kobo goes into automatic "Restarting" and then into "Updating" mode by itself, without letting me get into KSM first.

After all this, my kSM menu info states: Kobo Start Menu 08 (2015.10.27).

I have no way of knowing if this is the Kobo Aura One patch level or not, do I?

Can somebody please offer some advice?

Thanks!

P.S. I have also installed the latest KOReader nightly (koreader-kobo-arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf-v2015.11-1012-g96ea2ec) contents into .adds\koreader, but even after powerdown and restart, koreader is not visible in the Kobo (nickel) home screen.
