solution (that worked for me):
  • burn img 3.7.0 (aug 2014 version) to internal sd
  • Downlad firmware 3.15.0 kobo 5 here
  • Extract KoboRoot.tgz to .kobo
  • Change KoboReader.sqlite user database value to ["0","0","0","0","0","0",false ,false, false] to avoid registration and autoupdate.
  • Finally reboot.

And now works like a charm.

PS:
Just to mention, I spent a lot of time trying different firmware version that didn't work:
- 4.2.8432
- 4.20.14617
- 4.31.19086
- 4.35.20400
- 4.38.21908
I don't know what version firmware my H2O 1st gen is on, but it is a version 4. So there;s nothing wrong with those versions. I suggest you give it a go updating again to 4.38.
