I hope that makes sense...
Check the first post in this thread: Instructions for patching firmware 4.30.18838
  1. Download the Kobo firmware release
  2. You can find the download links here here.
  3. Download and extract the patch zip
  4. Download and unzip kobopatch_4.30.18838.zip from here.
  5. Copy the firmware file to the src folder*
  6. Copy the original firmware you just downloaded into the kobopatch src folder.
  7. Install the firmware if needed**
  8. Install the firmware on your kobo BEFORE proceeding with the next steps. You can do this by extracting the contents of the firmware zip into the .kobo folder and ejecting.
  9. Choose your patches from the files in the src folder
  10. Enable patches in the files in the src folder (or use the overrides in kobopatch.yaml to keep your options separate).
  11. Run kobopatch
  12. Double-click kobopatch.bat on Windows, or run ./kobopatch.sh on Linux or macOS. On macOS, you can drag it into the terminal and press enter (you may need to go to System Preferences - Security and Privacy - General to confirm that you actually want to run it).
  13. Install the patches by copying KoboRoot.tgz into the .kobo folder of your device
  14. If the patching succeeded, a file named KoboRoot.tgz will be created in the out folder. Copy it to the .kobo folder of your device. Safely remove your device once you are finished. On Linux, you may have to press Ctrl+H to show the .kobo folder.

* When it says 'Copy the firmware file to the src folder' you put the 'kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip' file into the src folder. Don't unzip it. Just put the single .zip file in there.

** Your Kobo should be running the same firmware you are using for the patches.

If you are using the 4.30.18838 patches, make sure your Kobo is running firmware 4.30.18838 already.
