I'm very confused about it, please give me detailed instructions about how to fix it; I think the docs should be updated
Since the script can do harm when used carelessly (and it maybe not work very reliably), I did remove the concerning png (simulate_usb_connection.png) from KSM 09. You can take any png file and rename it to simulate_usb_connection.png. You can also take the file attached to this post.
Initiate the function:
  • connect the Kobo to the PC
  • copy simulate_usb_connection.png into the folder kbmenupngs
  • eject safely and disconnect
  • check simulate_usb_connection.png is listed in the library and its thumbnail are displayed there. Open it, so that it appear at least once as tile on the home screen.
  • exit nickel and launch it again
How to use it:
  • the device must NOT be connected via USB
  • (in nickel) open simulate_usb_connection.png as if it were a book
  • there should now appear the usb connect pop up. Select quickly "connect" (this is time critical, it is important that select without waiting)
  • wait until the pop up closes, the "connected and charging" message appears, and disappears, ...
I do not recommend to use this function. It might not work on some newer Kobo models!
