Hello, everybody.
I have a Kobo Touch 2.0, which I rarely used (main e-reader is a Kindle). Today I started it and in a moment of supidity I allowed it to update to 4.38.
Updated succesfully, but after that there are no networks detected. I even started a hotspot on the phone, but even that was not detected. Before the update, networking was working (update was over wifi).
I did the second stupid thing and reset it to factory settings.
Now it has to be set up. But there are no networks detected. So I tried the other option - installed Kobo Reader app on Windows.
Surprise. It will not log in to the server, it gives an error message.
So I have an e-reader that starts but can't be set up.
Is there any custom firmware that I can install? Or is there any solution to my issue?
(I will try logging in again tomorrow, but something tells me it's not going to happen).
