LivresInOz · 04-23-2022, 12:43 PM

I saw in other threads there is a patch that makes the Kobo ASK you before updating the firmware.

Apparently it MIGHT be called libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml

BUT, when I go to the only obvious site with a reference to this and ask for the file:
- there are several versions of that file
- when I click on a version, all I get is a bunch of text

Can someone pls tell me simply:
- how I can obtain and install the (or a) patch that will make the Kobo CONFIRM before updating firmware on sync?
- if there are any risks?

I would rather choose to go through the whole process of reinstalling KFMON, Koreader and Plato at a time of my own choosing!

(I've got a Forma currently on what seems to be the latest firmware: 4.32.19501 of 14 april 2022)
