Hi everybody!
I have a problem with my old Kobo Glo.
Forgive me if I'm going to be a tad too wordy, but I think it's better if I explain everything.
I received it as a gift 6 years ago, never updated it after setting it (it was May 2013) until a few months ago, and oly decided to do so because it started having some problems (not showing the covers anymore, reading stats were stuck etc.)
So, I updated it.
Problems weren't fixed (it still shows a random cover, no matter what I'm reading), and besides, I hate the look of the new software.
So, I tried manually downgrading it, but...I must have done something wrong.
I placed the firmware in the .kobo folder and then unplugged the device. First time, nothing happened. The second time, it got in a loop (you know, with the five little squares changing from white to black endlessly).
After half a hour of panic, I managed to hard reset it. But now it asked me to connect it to the Kobo app and I still have the newest version (plus no books
)
So, what did I do wrong? Maybe I chose the wrong firmware version? If so, how do I choose the right one?
I'd really really like to go back to the original version (with the big covers on the homepage and the sad face whenever the battery was drained) but I'm not going to try the same stuff I did, considering the outcome LOL.
Can you help me? I tried looking for similar threads, but it seems to me that my problem is different from other people's.
Thanks in advance and happy reading to everyone!
