When starting setup, the wifi connect correctly but after "Searching updates" appear me a windows showing "An error has occurred please try again". When I start the setup choosing the option to use PC, appear me a windows that say "Go to kobosetup.com ". I download Rakuten Kobo from Kobo Setup but I can't do the setup. I think the usb connection is correct because when I connect to the reader to my PC appear "Connected and charging". But I can't do the setup in Rakuten Kobo I don't know why.

Any solutions ?????

I am thinking updating the firmware opening .img in my PC.

Anyone know another way to change the firmware (my PC don't recognise the ebook)??
If you are getting to the point where the WiFi is downloading the setup, that means the device booted, prompted you a couple of times and then connected to WiFi. It is not likely to be an image problem. But, it could be something left on the image from the previous use. Or not perfectly setup for your device. That is why I suggested doing a factory reset. That will clean everything up and start from scratch.

You can try adding the firmware update to the card directly, but, that needs something to trigger the install. And that needs a connect to the PC. What you are doing, will probably trigger this when you unplug the device, but, I'm not completely sure.

For the USB connection, as @PeterT said, there are issues with some USB3 ports on some machines. Using a USB2 port or a hub usually solves this.
