Kobo Vox not dead yet!

Hi Difflugia, Old Friend.
You helped me years ago root my kids two Kobo Voxs, and they have worked to this day. Like others on this forum, I had to reset one of them last week, and Yes, I now have the same problem. This week I successfully created a new rooted sdcard using your original instructions (they still work! including the firmware download, but the signed superuser zip has to be sourced elsewhere now), but it also gets stuck in the forced reset stage. I have the original unrooted sd card which still works fine. I also tried to create an image of my still working rooted sd card from my other Vox, to put on an sdcard into my bricked device, but it failed. If either of these sd card images could be of use to you, let me know.

By the way, if you take apart your Vox to get to the internal sd card, and you break off the small square of plastic internally covering the sd card and re assemble it, you never more have to unscrew it to have internal sd card access.

Please let me know if you have any hacks I could try to get around this problem.

Thanks Again.

Roberto.
