If that is the case then you need to do a factory reset, then check carefully the firmware version on the device information page after the factory reset completes but before patching, and then patch using the exact same firmware version that is on the device.
(Edit: I'm basing this on the stack log:
b628114af7d11c3c8c52e533d983ce37736de440 is the build number for firmware 4.8.11073, but the function _ZN12PluginLoader11forMimeTypeERK10QByteArray didn't exist in libnickel until version 4.8.11090.)

well I updated using the wifi update after doing the factory reset. and the version is 4.9.11314(b628114af7,6/29/18)
so I don't see how libnickle and nickle could have a version mismatch as i downloaded the source files for modification from the wiki page and both files were patches so the versions should be the same unless the mark 5 firmware isn't somehow. I did the .113 as that's the one that it wants, for some reason kobo patch _still_ expects the zip file to .113 even though when downloading from kobo's servers it's .111
Don't know why the build number in the inside is a lower version than the system version. I guess I'll have to manually update the thing as it _was_ updated previously to the latest when nickle crashed on it's own I updated it to 4.9.1134.
P.S. I have no idea why the build number is different from the version number. Literally no clue how that happens.
