I am on a Mac, and the file I downloaded was a zip. My unarchiver is a little over zealous and extracted the .tgz from the .zip and I was left with a folder called sbin.
You posted about this a few posts back. I opened a terminal and issued “tar -czf KoboRoot.tgz sbin” and created the tar file.

Things seemed to go according to how they should. It rebooted, and I got a loading progress bar for a few minutes. Then it just stopped.

Someone a few posts back also had this problem, but they discovered their issue was with the memory card not being fast enough. I already speed tested my card and it was fast in both 1M and 4K read/write speeds.

I’m not sure why it hung, but I just want to restart the device. Unfortunately it seems totally unresponsive to restarting. Holding the power button doesn’t turn it off. And there is no hole for a paperclip on the Clara.
