You can try by pasting the following js into the console in my firmware downloader page:
Code:
devices=devices.concat([378,379,380].map(id=>["00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000"+id.toString(),id.toString(),"unknown"]));getVersions()

I got an error for that. But,
If I use:
Code:
https://api.kobobooks.com/1.0/UpgradeCheck/Device/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000375/Kobo/3.2.1/N000000000000
I get result for firmware "4.7.10413". Change the firmware version to 4.7.10413, and I get the "no update available" result:
Code:
<UpgradeCheckResult>
<Data i:nil="true"/>
<ReleaseNoteURL i:nil="true"/>
<UpgradeType>None</UpgradeType>
<UpgradeURL i:nil="true"/>
</UpgradeCheckResult>
If I change the id to 378 or 379, I get the same result as the last no matter what firmware version I use. As Kobo told me last night that they haven't released a firmware update for these devices, that result makes sense.
Of course, Kobo has to define the rules for an update. That is made up of a combination of the id, the affiliate, the supplied version number and the serial number. Plus maybe some other things. The response indicates that for the supplied parameters, there is no update available. Maybe there is a combination for these devices that will give an update, but it will probably be for a specific serial number that Kobo is using for testing. The firmware that cvarrick has on his device, v4.6.10197, is almost definitely the factory supplied firmware and is what will be installed if you do a factory reset. These have never been available as a downloadable update.
And no update available for id 380 also makes sense as the device isn't available to anyone. These will probably come with a 4.7.x firmware that hasn't been released for download to anyone. Or it could be 4.6.10197. There will an update available for these devices on the day that people should be receiving them. It will probably be 4.8.x. It might be out earlier so that the reviewers get an update. But, in that case, Kobo might restrict the update to the serial numbers of the devices they send to the reviewers. If there is a release for the reviewers, I would expect that there would be another update for the release date.
