hi David, hi all guys,
I just tried to flash my original micro SD card (because there is no other way to come out from the manual restoring that stucks on my kobo clara HD).
I used for the flashing operation the software "BalenaEtcher" (https://www.balena.io/etcher/) because it was impossible to use "usb duplicator image writer" (program closing after start of job).
after that, I checked the results by using "mini tool partition wizard" (as Gergith wrote in his post (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=209122).
I see in the picture posted by him that there should be more partitions, as below:
(Unallocated) 10MB, rootfs(EXT4) 256 MB..., recoveryfs(EXT4) 256MB.., KOBOeReader (FAT32) 1.33 GB.., (Unallocated) [however big the rest of your sd card is. 5.9GB for the 8GB card in the pictures].)

I discovered that, in my case, on the just flashed Sd card there is only one partition (7,4GB not allocated).

I'm wondering if my sd card is corrupted or if the used software copied wrongly the image received from you, or if my 7zip did not uncompress correctly the zipped file received.
can you, or anyone else give, me any suggestion for going on?

P.S. I'm using my windows7 PC for doing all.

thanks in advance for your support.
