But you have to separate the Kobo software from the Kobo OS so you don't try to load the OS. That could very well brick the device.

You want to extract jut the file KoboRoot.tgz and install that. But before you do, install the latest firmware for your device so you are sure to have the latest OS.

For my H2O, I would have to install 4.9.11314 and then I would install the new version without the OS. Then I would patch it and hope it works. I may do this given what others have said.
