My notes did not have the firmware revision listed. Basically, just that I followed the poster's message as best I could and got the same result. The factory reset and sideload was my contribution but hacking the user ID was from the original poster.
BTW, I followed your posting history back to 2011-Nov-24 (see quote) and didn't find your original report of the database corruption unless it was earlier than those messages. Though I admit to being amused by your pushing Sony's devices. The only thread I found that you had started was in December, 2012 (

At the risk of joining the tin foil hat brigade, at this point, I have to questoin just exactly why Kobo is so desperate to force users into installing the kobo software on their pc's. It would have been just as easy to enable to kobo to register itself over internet than the new code they created just to cripple it. There's an ulterior motive here, I don't doubt the least.
