Hi everyone,

I wanted to have root access on my Kobo Clara HD. After looking around a bit, I found out that I can do this by turning on developer mode and using telnet on my linux system. However, I wanted to switch to SSH.

I've found the following resources:

https://www.yingtongli.me/blog/2018/07/30/kobo-ssh.html
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=254214

Is NiLuJe's package still the best way of doing this (last link)?

I'm also wondering how I should backup the device in case I brick it and need to rollback. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
