Blocked at setup screen after factory reset

  • through wifi: no wifi network is ever detected. I started a 2.4GhZ network, a guest network and a hotspot network on my router but none is ever detected.
  • through the computer: I'm on a linux distribution which doesn't run Kobo software. I tried with a virtual machine running Windows but the Kobo software doesn't detect anything.

I tried a factory reset (light + power button, wait a few seconds until "Restoring..." appears) but this hasn't changed much.

I only want to be able to install Koreader (or equivalent) back to my ereader. I'm out of options now.

Have you checked to see if the device is listed in /dev/? It might not be mounted in Windows, but if it’s listed in /dev/, you can use Linux to mount it and restore a clean SD disk image onto it.

Before doing that, have you tried a manual reset? It’s deeper than a factory reset. It wipes your Kobo to the state it was in when it first came out of its box: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...r-Kobo-eReader
