The kernel/system level updates are in the upgrade directory. For the most part other than some model specific images in etc/images, the KoboRoot.tgz is hardware agnostic. In theory, the code used to install the kernel/system packages checks for a hardware match but why take an unnecessary chance?

For a manual update, you need to unzip the kobo-update-whatever.zip package before copying to your Kobo ereader so you would unzip and copy only the KoboRoot.tgz to the .kobo directory on your Kobo ereader.
