I think I bricked my Libra 2. :( Help?
My Libra 2 had auto-update itself to the latest firmware because I forgot to turn the wifi off, and I tried to side-load firmware 4.30 to roll it back.
The reason I wanted to roll it back to 4.30 is because I am stuck on Monterey for now, which means I can't use Calibre 7 yet, and I got the error message within Calibre that my Kobo's software was too new to manage collections any longer. So I decided that rolling back the Libra 2's firmware was my best option for now.
Unfortunately, it is stuck on the update screen, and has been for over 12 hours now.
Things I've tried:
- Holding the power button down for 3 seconds, then pressing again quickly
- Holding the power button down for 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and 2 minutes
- Holding the page turn button and power button at the same time for 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and 2 minutes
- Plugging it in to my computer and then plugging it into the wall
- Left it plugged into the wall for 10 hours at the time of writing this post
I am out of ideas and any other solutions I can google. Kobo customer support hasn't been very helpful either.
Is there anything else I can try? At this point I don't care if I lose everything that's on it. That's easily fixed with Calibre. I just want it to work again.
Edit: I forgot to add that the LED light is not coming on or flashing or anything either.
